Best Plastic Surgeon in Colombia

1.- Examine the license and professional credentials of the plastic surgeon you choose to ensure that they are a qualified doctor, prepared to offer the best possible results. Verify that the surgeon belongs to the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery or the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Although membership in these societies does not guarantee service quality, it does certify that the surgeon you are looking for has met the necessary requirements to be recognized as a true plastic surgeon. This certification results from completing between 4 to 5 years of specialization, which may include two years of general surgery and three to four years of plastic surgery.

2.- Check patient reviews about the plastic surgeon you are considering. An excellent way to ensure that the plastic surgeon you choose is competent is to know the opinions and experiences of previous patients. You can find these reviews on the Google My Business profile, in forums, and in review magazines on aesthetic surgery. Reviews from open forums on women’s topics portals are particularly useful.

3.- Filter the reviews you find. If you see too many short reviews with comments like “good surgeon,” “everything went well,” or “the best,” be skeptical of these reviews, as they may be manipulated. Many surgeons offer rewards to their patients for leaving positive reviews or fabricate them to hide genuine negative opinions. A truthful review will always be long enough for the patient to share their experience with the surgeon or express gratitude for the results and care received. If in doubt, try to contact the person who left the review through their Google profile.

4.- Trust the results you can verify directly. If a family member or friend has undergone surgery with the surgeon you are considering, ask about their experience and request to see their results. Although every patient is different and each achieves results based on their own body, desired changes, and post-surgery care, seeing the results obtained by the surgeon you are considering is a good guide to the experience and outcomes you might expect.

5.- A good surgeon will conduct a thorough pre-surgical medical examination, asking about all your medical history, detailing the risks and benefits, and being honest about the real results you can achieve with the surgery. The human body is unique, and therefore, the plastic surgeon must evaluate how a given procedure can help you achieve the results you are seeking before proceeding with the surgery.

6.- Get to know the clinic where you will be operated on before making your final decision. Ideally, the clinic should be at Level IV or higher, with all the necessary resources to handle complications, such as an intensive care unit, emergency services, and on-site diagnostic imaging services like CT scans, MRIs, angiography, and X-rays. If the clinic where you will be operated on is a modified house with only operating rooms and a recovery area, run away from that surgeon.

7.- Finally, choose a surgeon who is willing to commit to you, who provides you with their personal phone number so that you can contact them in case of an emergency or to address any questions that arise after surgery. They should personally attend to you after the surgery to conduct follow-ups, answer your questions, and even remove your stitches. A surgeon who is distant from their patient is not the right surgeon for you.
