Plastic surgery in Cartagena for international patients

Planning plastic surgery in Colombia starts with a medical conversation. Dr. Fulvio Correa’s international-patient program describes virtual assessment, an in-person evaluation in Cartagena, support during recovery and follow-up after returning home.

01 / Your journey

From your first conversation
to your return home.

A clear sequence helps you understand what happens next. Your procedure, preparation and travel arrangements are discussed as an individual plan, rather than a fixed itinerary that applies to everyone.

01

Start with a virtual assessment

Discuss your goals, medical history and expectations with the practice before making travel arrangements. This conversation helps identify what needs to be evaluated and which options to discuss. A request for a consultation does not establish eligibility for surgery.

02

Prepare your questions and your trip

The team describes guidance on required examinations and preparation before travel. Ask which records to provide, how appointments will be coordinated and what your proposed care plan includes. Confirm the medical schedule before committing to an itinerary.

03

Meet the team in Cartagena

An in-person evaluation forms part of the process after arrival. Use this appointment to review your surgical plan, ask remaining questions and confirm preparation with the doctor. Your final plan is based on your individual assessment.

04

Confirm the surgical arrangements

The international program describes surgery with medical supervision and a coordinated team. Ask for the name of the surgical facility, the professionals involved and the arrangements relevant to your procedure. Request these details as part of your written plan.

05

Plan space and support for recovery

The international program describes recovery support, medical follow-up and an environment that prioritizes privacy and rest. Confirm the accommodation, assistance, check-up schedule and services included in your own arrangements before you travel.

06

Discuss the return journey and follow-up

The practice describes remote follow-up after patients return home. Agree on your communication channel and follow-up arrangements before departure. The timing of travel must be discussed with your treating team in the context of your recovery.

02 / Planning and support

More than an itinerary.
A coordinated plan.

The international program presents preparation, recovery support and continued communication as parts of the international-patient experience. Ask Sofía to help coordinate your initial enquiry and explain the next step. Medical decisions remain with the treating team.

Before confirming your trip

  • Request a written breakdown of the proposed care and services.
  • Confirm which examinations and documents the team needs.
  • Discuss accommodation, local transport and whether a companion is appropriate.
  • Confirm where surgery and follow-up appointments would take place.
  • Ask how to contact the team during your stay and after returning home.

03 / An informed decision

Choosing your surgeon

Review the doctor’s published training and verify professional memberships through their public directories. Ask about the proposed facility, who will provide your care, the alternatives to the procedure and the follow-up plan. Membership is one part of that assessment; it is not a guarantee of an outcome.

Questions before traveling

Can I start without traveling to Colombia?

Yes. The international-patient program describes an initial virtual consultation to discuss your goals, medical history and expectations. Contact the practice to arrange an assessment and confirm the next steps.

How long should I stay in Cartagena?

There is no single itinerary for every procedure or patient. Ask the treating team to confirm the expected stay and the conditions for your return journey after assessing your individual plan and recovery.

What happens when I arrive?

The program includes an in-person medical evaluation in Cartagena. This is an opportunity to review your plan and preparation with the doctor before surgery.

What recovery support is available?

The program describes supervised recovery, follow-up and professional assistance. Confirm the accommodation and services included in your individual quotation, as well as any arrangements you need to make separately.

Should I travel with a companion?

Discuss this with the team during your assessment. The appropriate arrangements depend on your procedure and circumstances; do not assume that the same advice applies to every patient.

Is there follow-up after I return home?

The practice describes remote follow-up after returning home. Confirm the contact channel, appointment arrangements and how to raise concerns before leaving Cartagena.

Begin with a conversation.

Tell Sofía what you would like to discuss and choose your preferred contact channel. The team can guide you toward your virtual assessment.
