Body contouring and fat removal by an experienced, internationally trained plastic surgeon in Barranquilla, Colombia — with full concierge care from consultation through recovery, at 50–77% below U.S. prices.
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits to refine and contour areas such as the abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, arms, and chin. IMC connects you with Dr. Samir Janne Hasbun, an internationally trained plastic surgeon who trained at the Ivo Pitanguy Institute in Rio de Janeiro, and coordinates every step of your trip.
From your first consultation through surgery and recovery, our bilingual team handles scheduling, lodging, and follow-up so you can focus on your results — not logistics.
Liposuction is a contouring procedure, not a weight-loss procedure. It removes localised fat deposits that have not responded to diet and training. It tends to work well when:
It is the wrong procedure if the goal is to lose a significant amount of weight, and it does not treat loose skin — where skin laxity is the main issue, removing fat alone can make it look worse rather than better, and a lift is the honest answer. It also does not treat cellulite. A surgeon who agrees to whatever you ask for without raising any of this is not doing the job properly.
You share your goals, health history, and photos of the areas that concern you. Free, and before any travel is booked.
You receive which areas are proposed, the technique, and a written quote within 24 hours — so the price is settled before you leave home.
Your surgeon examines you, confirms what is realistic for your anatomy, and adjusts the plan. Pre-operative labs are completed here.
Performed in an accredited operating facility with anaesthesia. Duration depends on the number of areas treated.
You stay roughly 7–10 days so your surgeon can review healing, manage drains and garments, and clear you as fit to fly.
Compression, activity, and massage guidance continue at home, with your IMC contact reachable in your own language.
Expect swelling and bruising for the first two to three weeks, and to wear a compression garment more or less continuously for several weeks after that. Most people are walking the same day, back to desk work in about a week, and cleared for full training at around four to six weeks.
The result you see at two weeks is not the result. Swelling masks the contour for months — the shape settles progressively and the final outcome is usually judged at three to six months. Planning a trip around a deadline six weeks away is a common mistake.
Liposuction is real surgery under anaesthesia. Recognised risks include bleeding, infection, fluid collections, changes in skin sensation, and blood clots. Contour irregularity, asymmetry, or areas that heal unevenly are possible and are the most common reason for a revision. These risks rise with the number of areas treated and the volume removed in one session.
Travelling for surgery adds a specific consideration: flying too early after a procedure raises clot risk, which is exactly why the 7–10 day stay is not padding — it is the clinical minimum for your surgeon to see you through the window when problems appear. Any provider offering to get you in and out in three days is managing their schedule, not your safety.
