Sculpt your entire midsection, front, sides and back, in one procedure with Dr. David Delgado, at a JCI-accredited surgical center in Medellín.
International patients don’t fly to Colombia for a bargain. They come for a surgeon they can verify and trust. Dr. Delgado has spent over 15 years refining body-contouring surgery, and Lipo 360 makes up about 40% of the body surgeries he performs. He speaks English and holds your consultation himself.
Real circumferential liposuction results by Dr. David Delgado. Notice the smooth, balanced waistline from every angle, the hallmark of a true 360° approach.
Individual results vary based on anatomy, skin elasticity, and adherence to post-operative care. Photos shared with patient consent.
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.
Your price depends on how many areas are treated, your anatomy and surgical time, and whether you add a BBL or a tummy tuck. Dr. Delgado confirms it in writing after your consultation. See the 2026 reference prices and a side-by-side U.S. comparison in our cosmetic surgery investment guide.

Flights, hotel, meals and your companion’s expenses. Plan for them separately.
Treating extra areas, adding a BBL or a tummy tuck, and a longer surgical time.
Dr. Delgado’s own aesthetic clinic, Clínica Be Dharma, sits inside Torre Médica Oviedo, in the heart of El Poblado. It’s where your consultation, post-op check-ups and lymphatic recovery massages take place, in calm, private, modern surroundings just minutes from your hotel.

Most international patients complete their Lipo 360 trip in 8 to 10 days in Medellín. Here’s how it works, from your first message to your follow-up at home.
Virtual consultation in English with Dr. Delgado on Google Meet, paid through a secure Bold link. Send your photos first; your plan is confirmed in person.
You receive your written quote and pre-op instructions. If you smoke or vape, stop at least 4 weeks before and after surgery.
Fly into José María Córdova Airport (MDE) and arrive 1–2 days early. Choose a flexible return ticket.
Lab tests and an in-person evaluation with Dr. Delgado at Torre Médica Oviedo, El Poblado.
Lipo 360 at InterQuirófanos (2–3 hours), then back to your hotel with your compression garment and an adult by your side.
Post-op care at Clínica Be Dharma starts the day after surgery. You fly home once Dr. Delgado clears you.
You keep a direct line to the team for questions and photo check-ins until your result settles.
Your procedure takes place at InterQuirófanos, a surgical center accredited by Joint Commission International (JCI), with hospital-grade operating rooms with a dedicated anesthesiology team, held to international safety standards. Consultation and post-op care are handled nearby in El Poblado.
Bring a companion. An adult needs to stay with you for the first days after surgery. Our team helps coordinate airport transfers and hotel recommendations near the clinic. More on how long to stay in Medellín.
You’ll walk the same day, return to basic activities in about a week and to desk work in 2–3 weeks. Your final contour shows at 4 to 6 months. Swelling often gets worse before it gets better; that’s expected.
| When | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Week 1 | Rest, short walks and your compression garment • first check-up with Dr. Delgado |
| Weeks 2–3 | Swelling goes down gradually • back to desk work |
| Weeks 4–6 | Gradual return to walking and light exercise • your shape starts to show |
| Months 4–6 | Final result |
Seeing Medellín while you recover: once you feel up to it, a slow walk around El Poblado or a quiet café is fine. Save Guatapé, the Metrocable or Comuna 13 for later, or come a few days early and see them before surgery. Long rides, hikes, sun and pools wait until Dr. Delgado clears you.
Dr. Delgado adjusts this plan to your case during your consultation.
Safety comes from the surgeon and the facility, not the country. Choose a surgeon you can verify, not the lowest quote. Before you book anywhere in Colombia, check four things:
Surgery is performed at InterQuirófanos, accredited by Joint Commission International, with a specialist anesthesiologist present. Never in an office or improvised "clinic" setting.
Dr. Delgado is registered as a plastic surgeon in ReTHUS, is a member of the SCCP and an International Member of the ASPS. Here’s how to verify a plastic surgeon’s credentials.
Compression garment, post-op care at Clínica Be Dharma from the day after surgery, and check-ups before you fly, with clear written aftercare instructions for 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.
