Plastic surgery in Colombia: cost and prices

These are estimated from–to ranges for surgery with Dr. Fulvio Correa in Cartagena. They are a planning aid for people comparing plastic surgery Colombia cost and Colombia plastic surgery prices. They are not a quote.

This is an approximate estimate based on previous cases; sometimes the fee has been lower and sometimes higher, depending on the case. The real quote always comes after the virtual or in-person consultation. It does not commit the doctor to charge that amount or to operate.

How to read this table

Each row is a from–to range in US dollars and in Colombian pesos. The dollar figures are the authorized ranges. Pesos use the official TRM of 20 October 2026, COP 3,156.32 per US dollar (datos.gov.co, dataset 32sa-8pi3), rounded up to the nearest 10,000 pesos. A later TRM changes the peso figure. The dollar range is the one to compare until the office issues a new table.

A consultation is USD 150 / COP 400.000. That pair is the authorized fee. It is not converted at the TRM, and it is not a surgery price.

The lowest figure in the table, USD 450–550, is retraction technology per zone. It is not the starting price of a full operation. Among the operations listed on their own, eyelid surgery starts at USD 3,600.

Consultation: USD 150 / COP 400.000.

Quoted per case, with no range in this table

Three requests do not have a row, so this page does not invent a price for them. A mommy makeover is a combination, and the combination is what sets the fee. A Brazilian butt lift (liposuction with fat transfer to the buttocks) is quoted per case. Liposuction that is not HD liposculpture is also quoted per case. Gluteal implants are a different operation and do have a row above.

If your plan is one of those three, the number you can use is the one written after your consultation. The ranges for procedures that might be part of a combination are in the table so you can see the pieces. Adding the pieces together is not the price of the combination.

What usually changes the price

A note on prices in the United States

People often ask whether surgery in Cartagena costs less than at home. The honest answer is that these two numbers are not the same kind of bill. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in its 2024 plastic surgery statistics report, publishes surgeon/physician fee ranges for ASPS member surgeons in the United States. Examples from that report: abdominoplasty USD 8,000–13,500, rhinoplasty USD 7,500–12,500, facelift USD 12,000–19,000, and breast augmentation USD 4,575–8,000. The report presents those figures as a projected range of surgeon fees, and it discusses anesthesia costs and operating-room fees separately.

Some of those U.S. surgeon-fee ranges overlap the estimates on this page. Breast augmentation is one example: the Cartagena estimate of USD 6,750–8,250 sits inside a U.S. surgeon-fee range that starts lower. A lipoabdominoplasty here is not the same operation as the ASPS abdominoplasty line. This page does not claim a percentage saving, and it does not publish a U.S. total cost. Compare a written quote with a written quote.

Recovery in Cartagena is arranged separately

Procedure ranges on this page do not include lodging, transfers, or supplies. Patients who want that support can have an equipped recovery house arranged, with 24/7 nursing, transfers between the airport, the clinic, and the house, and supplies. The plan is tailored at the valuation. There is no package price, and the practice does not promise a number of nights, a type of room, or massages.

had chin liposuction with Dr. Fulvio Correa about a year ago, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. I actually traveled to Colombia for the procedure, and after having a few consultations with other places, his team stood out the most and truly for good reason. His recommendations were spot on and made me feel confident I was making the right choice. This was my first surgery, so my anxiety was definitely higher than usual, but Dr. Correa and his team were so kind, patient, and attentive that I felt calm and comfortable the entire time. They made sure I understood everything and created such a reassuring environment during the procedure. A year later, I’m still so happy with my results they look natural and exactly as this is something he prides himself in. I’m truly grateful for how caring and lovely everyone was throughout the entire process. If I ever consider another procedure, they would be the first ones I’d go to. Highly recommend!!!

I recently had reconstructive abdominal surgery (tummy tuck), 360 lipo, fat transfer, and chin lipo, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the entire experience. After having many consultations locally in the U.S. and Colombia, I chose Dr. Fulvio Correa, and it was the best decision I made. His confidence in his work truly shines through, putting me at ease throughout the process. The travel arrangements were seamless, and the recovery house provided the perfect environment for healing, with 24/7 care and daily massages. The entire team was excellent, from the surgical staff to the nurses who ensured my recovery went smoothly. I’m beyond happy with the results and highly recommend Dr. Fulvio and his team for anyone considering these procedures.

I can say that I have had a great Experience with the Doctor Fulvio Correa as well as with his team, starting from my consultant Vanessa, my massage girl Isabel, and the rest of the doctors. My experience is been great since day one, they have answered all my inquiries at any time, the process was very easy I traveled and my surgery was already scheduled, I got a package that included the surgery, pre-tests, drainage massages, and a few other stuff and it was the best decision I made to buy everything together. The surgery day I was very nervous and anxious like never in my life and everything came out better than I expected. My body is still inflamed and I am still recovering but I will definitely recommend anyone who wants to look better to try Dr. Fulvio and his team. They are Amazing !

Questions about cost

Are these plastic surgery prices in Colombia final?

This is an approximate estimate based on previous cases; sometimes the fee has been lower and sometimes higher, depending on the case. The real quote always comes after the virtual or in-person consultation. It does not commit the doctor to charge that amount or to operate.

Why are prices shown in dollars and in pesos?

The authorized ranges are in US dollars. Pesos on this page use the official TRM of 20 October 2026, COP 3,156.32 per dollar, rounded up to the nearest 10,000 pesos. The consultation fee stays USD 150 / COP 400,000 and is not converted at that rate.

What usually changes the price?

The procedure, whether operations are combined, anesthesia, the facility, any implant or device, tests, garments, medication, and the visits while you are in Cartagena. The written quote says which of those are included. Flights, lodging, and transfers are separate. The individual case can also come in below or above the range.

How do these compare with prices in the United States?

ASPS publishes 2024 surgeon/physician fee ranges for its members, for example abdominoplasty USD 8,000–13,500 and rhinoplasty USD 7,500–12,500. Those are surgeon fees, not a total bill, and some of them overlap the estimates here. This page does not state a savings percentage.

Why is there no mommy makeover, BBL, or non-HD liposuction price?

They are not in the authorized table. A mommy makeover, a fat-graft Brazilian butt lift, and liposuction that is not HD liposculpture are quoted per case. Gluteal implants are listed separately because they are a different operation.

Does the estimate include the recovery house or the flights?

No. These ranges do not include lodging, transfers, supplies, or flights. A recovery house can be arranged separately and is explained at the valuation. There is no package price.

How do I get a real quote?

After a virtual or in-person consultation. The consultation fee is USD 150 / COP 400,000. You can request it on WhatsApp or through the valuation form. The figure in that written quote is the one that applies to you.
