Verified surgeons: Liposuction
No verified surgeons for liposuction yet.
We only show surgeons whose REThUS registration we checked, so we prefer a short list to an unchecked one. Post what you are looking for, free, and let surgeons contact you, or check any surgeon yourself with our checklist.
Other verified surgeons
Their REThUS registration is checked, but they have not yet said whether they perform this procedure. Ask them before you book.
Before you book
✅ I looked them up in ReTHUS and they are registered as a physician
ReTHUS is the Ministry of Health register of people authorized to practice (Ley 1164 de 2007). The lookup is public: ask for their ID type and number.
✅ ReTHUS shows a plastic surgery specialty (or the one that matches my procedure)
Being registered as a physician does not confirm the specialty. The Colombian plastic surgery society says the surgeon must be a graduated physician with an officially approved plastic surgery specialization.
✅ The clinic where I will have surgery is licensed in REPS
ReTHUS covers people; REPS covers places. The surgery site must be licensed (habilitado) by the territorial health authority. Search by name, tax ID (NIT) or municipality and check the site and its services.
✅ Nobody is offering me biopolymers or non-permitted filler substances
Injecting non-permitted modeling substances has been a crime since Ley 2316 de 2023: 32 to 120 months in prison, and 96 to 180 for health professionals. INVIMA publishes the list of permitted ones.
- ⚖️ Minors: Ley 1799 de 2016 bans aesthetic procedures on people under 18, with a short list of exceptions.

Frequently asked questions
Liposuction: how do I check the surgeon in Colombia?
Look the surgeon up in REThUS with their ID number and confirm the specialty on record matches the procedure. Then check that the clinic where the procedure will be done is licensed in REPS. The surgeons on this page already passed the REThUS check.
Liposuction: how much does it cost in Colombia?
There is no reliable public price list, so we do not publish an average. Ask each surgeon for a written quote that says what is included (surgeon, anesthesiologist, clinic, tests, materials, follow-ups) and compare them line by line with our budget planner.
Liposuction: how long should I stay in Colombia afterwards?
Your surgeon decides, based on your case. As a reference for anyone flying home, the U.S. CDC says that flying after surgery can raise the risk of blood clots, and that delaying air travel 10 to 14 days after major surgery, particularly chest surgery, minimizes the risks from changes in air pressure. Our budget planner turns the days your surgeon gives you into a flight date and nights of lodging.
