Nip and Tuck

I have another question for the travelers to Colombia.
I have about 3 or 4 friends that are interested in having some plastic surgery done. They have asked me about getting it done in Colombia, I guess the word is out that plastic surgery is cheap there compared to the USA.
Well I know very little about the Nip and Tuck industry much less in Colombia.
My question is does anyone here know of a good place or a reputable Doctor or a website or a phone number or whatever where a person can go in Colombia or find info to have a Nip and Tuck job done on them?

Do your homework Many good medical facilities all over Columbia but best to know someone and the areas if going to the interior. Would recommend the major cities only via direct flight since you are new to the country. Best web site & people to deal with is;
http://www.colombian-services.com/colombia-plastic-surgery.htm

Good people to deal with, they speak english and have a US number to call. Tell them Pat (lampltr) from Italia sent you!

HEY WHOME Tell your friends to visit this website: www.novosens.com

It's a company I know that is doing promotion in the US, Canada and the Caribbean for foreigners who want to come to Colombia and get plastic surgery. I think they offer everything they might need from recommending an english-speaking board certified doctor, giving the 5 main cities as an option (Cartagena, Barranquilla, Bogota, MEdellin and Cali), acommodations, nursing and home care, etc.

I don't know if the site is running yet but i know the company is in operation. Also if you need any personal advice on doctors in Colombia, especially in Medellin and Barranquilla where I live, feel free to ask. Wish you the best of luck.

*****Bargain for a price**** Have heard good things about cosmetic surgery in Colombia, but have no first-hand experience.

Definately be sure to tell them to negotiate aggressively on the price. It may sound weird negotiating with a doctor about price, but in Latin America everything is negotiable. A large group like that should be able to get a huge discount. Have one of them go in alone first to negotiate the best price available for a single person. Have them tell the doctor that they will need to go home(hotel, whatever) and think about it because they are considering other doctors(have other surgeons names available for reference). There's a good chance they will offer an even better price on your way out the door to get an on the spot committment. Leave and then go back the next day and tell them that you have 3 friends that are thinking about getting the surgery also and negotiate the price down from the last offer you received.

Guess its basic negotiating stuff, but many don't think about it because medical ops are not usually negotiable here in the States.
Good luck,
joe.

what? This subject may have been talked to death here as you are saying but it hasnt been talked to death since i have been posting on and reading PHB. Its new to me, so just because maybe at one time you may have talked it to death I was not able to benifit from any talk on this subject.
Why should I have to do a search on every subject I am seeking info on. I am willing to bet that every subject from plastic surgery, to women of colombia, to hotels, to whatever has been discussed at one time or another on this site. so what is a poster supposed to do..a search before he ask a question on every subject? I dont think so.

NIP AND TUCK Whome - Colombia has become a Mecca for people from all over the world to travel to fulfill their plastic surgery needs. Colombia is known worldwide as a leader in certain medical specialties, such as mini gastric bypass, liposuction, ophthalmology, and vascular surgeries. Not only can you enjoy the benefits of the surgery itself you will also receive a tremendous savings for any surgery you want.
The surgeons we recommend are located in Cali and are some of the most experienced to be found anywhere.
For example, if your friends are looking for weight reduction, we recommend Dr. Castillo who is a highly skilled specialist in Mini Gastric Bypass procedures and studied under Dr. Rutledge in Las Vegas.
We offer complete services for individuals or groups.
Also our surgeons have U.S. Visas and are willing to travel to Miami to have consultations with clients who are ready willing to travel.
I have 15+ years of experience in Colombia and lived in Cali for a period of time. I also speak the language and will accompany groups to insure everything goes smoothly.
