Your safety is our priority: We do not recommend surgical “combination procedures” or combining more than two or three major surgeries at one time, especially for patients traveling from abroad. Procedures such as liposuction combined with abdominoplasty, or a facelift combined with liposuction, significantly increase risks by extending surgical and recovery time.
-
If you wish to undergo several procedures, the most advisable approach is to plan them in stages. You may have an initial surgery, allow adequate recovery time, and then schedule a second procedure. During the postoperative period, many patients take advantage of their stay to rest, explore the country, or undergo non-invasive procedures such as vein laser treatments, laser hair removal, anti-aging medicine treatments, or hair, eyebrow, or eyelash transplants.
-
Plastic surgery has become widely popular through the Internet, leading to the emergence of intermediaries or agencies that may increase the total cost by 10% to 30%. With Dr. Pavajeau, the process is handled directly, without intermediaries, providing greater transparency and better value for the patient.

Colombia is now one of the world’s most recognized destinations for medical tourism in plastic surgery, ranking among the countries with the highest number of procedures performed each year, thanks to the high quality of its specialists and medical standards.
