The Procedure

What Is Lipo 360?

Lipo 360 — also called circumferential liposuction — removes stubborn fat from the full circumference of your torso in one procedure: front, sides, and back at once. Unlike spot liposuction, the 360° approach creates smooth, seamless transitions and a balanced silhouette from every angle. Most patients return to light activity within two weeks.

Safety First

Is It Safe to Have Surgery Abroad?

The honest answer: safety comes from the surgeon and the facility, not the country. Here’s how Dr. Delgado protects you.

JCI-accredited facility & anesthesia

Surgery is performed at InterQuirófanos, accredited by Joint Commission International, with a board-certified anesthesiologist present — never in an office or improvised "clinic" setting.

Board-certified surgeon

Dr. Delgado is certified by Colombia’s national plastic surgery board (SCCP) and is an ASAPS member — the same credentials standards you’d look for at home.

Structured post-op protocol

Compression garments, lymphatic drainage massage, and scheduled check-ups before you fly — with clear written aftercare instructions for home.

Support after you go home

Your recovery doesn’t end at the airport. The team stays reachable for questions and remote follow-up once you’re back in the U.S. or Canada.

Questions From U.S. & Canadian Patients

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to fly home after Lipo 360?
Most patients are cleared to fly 5–7 days after surgery, once they’re off prescription pain medication and comfortable sitting for longer periods. We schedule your return flight with this window in mind and review it at your post-op check before you leave.
Will my insurance cover it?
Lipo 360 is an elective cosmetic procedure, so it isn’t covered by insurance in the U.S., Canada, or Colombia. That’s a big reason international patients choose Medellín — paying out of pocket here costs far less than at home for comparable, board-certified care.
What if I have a complication once I’m back home?
You’ll leave with written aftercare instructions and a direct line to our team for remote follow-up. Significant complications are uncommon when post-op care is followed, but if a concern arises, Dr. Delgado’s team helps you assess it and coordinate care — and remains available for questions throughout your recovery.
How many days should I plan to stay in Colombia?
Plan for about 8–10 days from arrival to flying home. That covers your in-person pre-op assessment, surgery, the critical early recovery days, and a final check-up. Some patients choose to stay two weeks for extra comfort.
How much weight will I lose?
Lipo 360 is a body-sculpting procedure, not a weight-loss procedure. It typically removes several pounds of fat, but the dramatic change is in your shape and waistline — not the number on the scale. For best results, be near your goal weight before surgery.
Can I combine Lipo 360 with a BBL or tummy tuck?
Often, yes. Fat removed during Lipo 360 can be transferred to enhance the glutes (a BBL), and some patients combine it with a tummy tuck to address loose skin and muscle separation. Dr. Delgado will recommend the safest plan for your goals during your consultation.
How do I get a price and get started?
Book a private virtual consultation with Dr. Delgado. He’ll review your goals and photos, confirm your candidacy, and provide a personalized quote — every plan is tailored to your anatomy, so there’s no fixed online price.
