Plastic Surgery in Colombia
What Is Its Global Ranking?

 

In addition to being one of the world’s most important tourist destinations because of its tropical climate, natural beauty, and the warmth of its people, Colombia also has an excellent scientific standard in most medical specialties. According to the global Plastic Surgery survey, Colombia ranks fourth in the world in the number of patients undergoing surgery each year.

​

Plastic surgery in Colombia is of a very high standard, and Colombian women, despite their natural beauty, find in plastic surgery a tool to further enhance their natural features. In Colombia, you will find some of the best plastic surgeons in Latin America and among the best plastic surgeons in the world.

​

It is very important to verify that your plastic surgeon is certified and is a member of the Colombian Society of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery.

​

On the website of the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery, you will find Colombia’s leading plastic surgeons and can select a certified plastic surgeon. Remember that there are many fake plastic surgeons on social media.

​

"Verify your plastic surgeon on the website by searching for Full Members of the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery. Enter your plastic surgeon’s last name in the “Search for a Surgeon” field."

¿How to Know Whether Your Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Is Good? 

​​

1. Review ratings and comments. Surgeons with more than 90% positive reviews are generally very good surgeons. Naturally, every surgeon may receive some negative feedback. However, many negative comments may be anonymous, lack a clear basis, or result from unfair competition.

2. The Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery grants awards and recognitions every two years to those who contribute new concepts and techniques aimed at continuously improving surgical procedures and achieving the best results.

3. The importance of these awards lies in the fact that they are granted by impartial juries made up of Plastic Surgery professors, selected by the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery because of their extensive expertise in the field. The Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery grants distinctions such as the León Hernández Award for work or innovations in different areas of aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.

4. Look at their Instagram. Today, most reputable surgeons publish more on Instagram than on websites. Instagram allows for frequent updates about a plastic surgeon’s professional activity.

5. Look at their Instagram followers. A good number of followers can indicate that the surgeon is well known.

​

Do not leave your surgery in the hands of just any plastic surgeon who has been recommended to you but whom you have not personally verified. Always verify all information. Creating websites and Instagram accounts is very easy.

Non-certified plastic surgeons may create websites for organizations with similar names in order to cause confusion. The only society that endorses a certified plastic surgeon in Colombia is the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery.
