Emily’s Experience: How she Got a Liposuction in Colombia While Enjoying a Vacation

My name is Emily, and as an entrepreneur, my life is all about efficiency and smart decisions. But after two pregnancies, my body, especially my midsection, just wasn't the same. I worked out, I ate well, but no matter what I did, I couldn't get rid of the stubborn fat deposits that had taken up residence. I felt like I was running a successful company but had lost control of my own body's "product." I knew liposuction was the solution, but as a busy professional, the idea of spending over $8,000 on a single procedure in the US, plus the extensive recovery time, felt inefficient and financially irresponsible.

I needed a high-quality solution that was also a smart investment. My business-minded approach led me to research medical tourism. I saw it not as a risk, but as an opportunity for a high-return investment in myself. I found PlacidWay, and they were the missing piece of the puzzle. They understood my need for a streamlined, trustworthy process. They connected me with the Dr. Alvaro Uribe Clinic in Cartagena, Colombia, a location known for its expert plastic surgeons and beautiful, healing environment.

My trip to Cartagena was exactly what I needed. PlacidWay had all the logistics handled—the travel, the accommodation, and the appointments at the Dr. Alvaro Uribe Clinic. The clinic itself was world-class, and Dr. Uribe and his team were professional and attentive. The cost of my liposuction was only $5,000, which was an incredible value.

The procedure went smoothly, and my recovery was supported by excellent post-op care. The added bonus of being in a gorgeous, relaxing city like Cartagena made the recovery feel like a much-needed retreat for a busy mom and entrepreneur. Coming back to San Francisco, I felt like a new person. My clothes fit better, and my pre-baby body contour was finally back. But more than the physical change, I felt a renewed sense of confidence and control. I had made a smart, strategic choice for my health and well-being.

If you're a busy professional or a parent who feels stuck with your body, I can't recommend PlacidWay enough. They are a partner in making smart, life-changing decisions.
