Is a Tummy Tuck in Medellin Colombia painful?

Modern anesthesia ensures you feel no pain during surgery. Post-operatively, you will experience soreness and tightness, which are managed effectively with prescribed pain medications provided by Dra. Hincapie.

How long do I need to stay in Medellin after my surgery?

For a full Tummy Tuck, a minimum stay of 12 to 14 days is required to ensure you are safe to fly and have completed your initial follow-up appointments.

Will I have a visible scar?

Yes, all tummy tucks involve a scar, but Dra. Hincapie places it very low on the hip line, ensuring it remains concealed by most underwear and bikini bottoms.

Can I combine a Tummy Tuck with Liposuction?

Absolutely. Many patients opt for "Lipo-Abdominoplasty" to remove fat from the flanks and back while tightening the abdomen for a more dramatic hourglass result.

How soon can I return to work?

Most patients with office-based jobs can return to work within 2 to 3 weeks, though strenuous physical labor should be avoided for at least 6 to 8 weeks.

What is the difference between a Mini and a Full Tummy Tuck?

A Mini Tummy Tuck only addresses skin below the navel and does not involve navel repositioning, whereas a Full Tummy Tuck repairs muscles and removes skin across the entire abdominal area.

Are the results of abdominoplasty permanent?

The results are permanent, but they can be altered by significant weight gain or future pregnancies. It is best to undergo the procedure when you are done having children.

Is the surgical facility accredited?

Yes, Dra. Hincapie only operates in facilities accredited by the Colombian health authorities (SSS) that meet international patient safety standards.

How many lymphatic massages will I need?

It is generally recommended to have between 10 and 15 sessions to reduce swelling, prevent fluid buildup (seromas), and smooth out the results.

What happens if I have a complication after returning home?

Dra. Hincapie provides virtual follow-up support. We also recommend purchasing medical complications insurance specifically designed for international patients before your trip.
