List Your Plastic Surgery Practice Free on Colombia Move

Quick answer: if you are a plastic surgeon, a doctor practicing aesthetic medicine, or a clinic, you can now list your practice for free in the new category Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine on Colombia Move. When you publish, you give us your ReTHUS registration number and your specialty. Our team checks it before the listing goes live in search, and verified listings show the badge "Verified Surgeon · REThUS".

In a specialty where offers from people without training abound, that filter makes the difference. Patients searching in this category know that every professional went through the same verification, and you don't compete with listings from people who wouldn't pass it.

Who this category is for

• Plastic surgeons with a specialty in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery registered in ReTHUS.
• Doctors practicing aesthetic medicine who offer non-surgical procedures within what their training and the law allow them.
• Clinics and centers that list their specialists’ practices. Each listing must identify the professional who attends and their registration.

Patients can also post what they are looking for, for example "looking for a plastic surgeon in Medellín for an assessment". These search listings do not require registration, because the person posting does not offer a health service.

Why list your practice here

The demand exists and comes from inside and outside the country. According to a SCCP statement from September 30, 2026, the 2025 ISAPS survey estimated 331,392 surgical aesthetic procedures in Colombia, and the surgeons surveyed reported a median of 27.5% foreign patients, mostly from the United States, Spain and Canada.

• Publishing is free. You don't pay for the listing or a commission on patients who contact you.
• Local and foreign patients. Colombia Move works in Spanish and English, and listings can have a title and description in both languages, so the patient searching from abroad also finds you.
• Visible trust. The "Verified Surgeon" badge appears on your listing and explains that we check your ReTHUS registration before publishing it.
• Direct contact. The patient writes to you. There is no intermediary between the consultation and your schedule.

How to publish, step by step

1. Go to colombiamove.com/publicar (or use the button above, which already includes the chosen category) and choose the category Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine, indicating that you offer the service.
2. Enter your registration number. The field "ReTHUS registration number or medical registration" is mandatory. Use the data under which you appear in the ReTHUS public lookup, so we can find you without asking for more data.
3. Enter your specialty exactly as it appears in ReTHUS, for example "Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery". If you are a general practitioner with a practice in aesthetic medicine, say so that way.
4. Describe your practice with concrete details: the procedures you offer, the city and neighborhood of your office, the languages in which you attend, and the authorized clinic where you operate. If you include the name of that site, the patient can verify it in the REPS.
5. Upload photos of your office: the facade, the waiting room, the consulting room and, if you want, your diploma on the wall. Do not upload before-and-after photos of patients; we do not publish them.
6. Indicate a "from" price. A reference value for the assessment consultation helps the patient decide whether to contact you. Avoid publishing fixed prices for surgeries that depend on the assessment.

What we verify and how long it takes

When you publish, your listing stays under review. Our team searches for your number in the ReTHUS public lookup of the Ministry of Health and confirms that the name matches the one in the listing and that the specialty you declared appears in your registration. Normally the review takes less than 24 hours.

• If everything matches, the listing goes live with the badge "Verified Surgeon · REThUS".
• If something doesn't add up (the number doesn't appear, the name is different or the specialty isn't listed), the listing is not published. You can correct the data or write to us from the contact page.
• If you change the registration number later, the listing goes back under review until we verify it again.

Keep in mind what the badge covers: it confirms your registration in ReTHUS and your specialty. It does not certify the authorization of your clinic or the results of a procedure. That is why we recommend that patients also check the site in the REPS, as we explain in our guide How to Check a Plastic Surgeon in Colombia Before You Book. You can share that link with your foreign patients.

What we do not allow in this category

• Professionals without registration. If you don't appear in ReTHUS, we cannot publish your offer of health services.
• Biopolymers and unauthorized modeling substances. The Law 2316 of 2023 made injecting them a crime, with higher penalties when the person doing it is a health professional. Only substances on the official list published by Invima.
• are allowed. Aesthetic procedures for minors. The Law 1799 of 2016 prohibits them, with specific exceptions, and also prohibits advertising aimed at minors and the use of underage models. On Colombia Move we do not accept aesthetic listings aimed at minors, even if the case fits an exception.
• Misleading promises. No "guaranteed results", "risk-free" or "painless surgery". Every surgery carries risks, and Law 2316 of 2023 assigns the Superintendencia de Salud, the Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio and the territorial entities the task of monitoring misleading advertising in this field.
• Before-and-after photos of patients, photos of bodies or any image of an identifiable patient.

If you also offer wellness, hairdressing or spa treatments without a medical component, publish them in their own category. We explain how in the guide to publishing beauty, barbershop and wellness services.

How to write a listing that builds trust

The patient who arrives at this category is almost always comparing. What helps most is what can be verified: your full name as it appears in ReTHUS, your specialty, the city and the clinic where you operate, and what the first consultation is like (duration, whether it is in person or virtual, and what it includes). A good photo of your office says more than a long list of procedures.

Respond quickly and clearly. A foreign patient benefits from knowing whether you attend in English, how many follow-ups the plan includes and what you recommend about recovery times before they buy their tickets. If a patient asks for a fixed price before the assessment, explain why it depends on the examination.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to list my practice on Colombia Move?

Nothing: publishing in Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine is free, and we do not charge a commission on patients who contact you (in effect as of November 2026). Verifying your ReTHUS registration is also free. You can edit or renew your listing whenever you want.

How does verification protect my patients from scams?

Verification confirms that whoever offers the service is registered in ReTHUS with the specialty they declare, according to the Ministry of Health's public lookup in force in 2026. That way the patient does not confuse your listing with that of someone without training. It does not replace the review the patient should do of the clinic in the REPS.

Where do I publish if I have offices in several cities?

Publish one listing for each city where you have a site, from colombiamove.com/publicar, with the address of that office and the clinic where you operate there (process in force in 2026). That way the patient sees the information that applies to them. Each listing goes through the same ReTHUS review before it is published.

Can I publish if I am a general practitioner with a practice in aesthetic medicine?

Yes, you can publish non-surgical procedures that your training and the law allow you to offer, with your ReTHUS registration valid in 2026. Write your specialty as it appears in the registry. The badge confirms what we verify, so do not present yourself as a plastic surgeon if that specialty does not appear in ReTHUS.

Can I upload before-and-after photos of my patients?

No, in this category we do not publish before-and-after photos or photos of patients, according to the category rules in force since November 2026. Upload photos of your office, the waiting room, the facade and your diploma. If you want to show results, explain them during the consultation, with your patients' consent.

What happens if my listing does not pass the review?

The listing is not published until the data matches, for example if the number is misspelled or the specialty does not appear in the ReTHUS lookup (rules in force in 2026). Correct the number or the specialty and the listing returns to review. If you do not appear in ReTHUS, we cannot publish the offer.
