Bogotá

Travel to beautiful Bogota is effortless, and one-stop connections through major airports make travel from virtually anywhere relatively hassle-free! In addition, Colombia has convenient visa-on-arrival services at the airport for residents of more than 40 countries to make your arrival even easier!

  • Colombia has positioned itself as the regional leader in the cosmetic surgery medical tourism industry because of its beautiful cities, friendly people, and excellent medical professionals in the medical, dental, and cosmetic fields. Dentists and surgeons in Colombia are world-renowned for their skills and eye for beauty and have long been serving a population where the commitment to looking great is a national obsession. In addition, several prestigious international surgeons now also base themselves in Colombia, providing the region with additional expertise and sophistication. As a result, there is high demand for dental procedures and aesthetic plastic surgery in Colombia, with one of the highest rates of procedures performed per capita in the world.
  • ​Colombia is today one of the most thriving economies in South America and exceedingly safe for tourists. As a result, the number of foreign visitors to Colombia has increased from 600,000 in 2000 to nearly 1.5 million in 2010, with an average annual growth of 10.6%, almost four times the world average! Colombia is also easily accessible, and an abundance of convenient flights to Bogota make travel more accessible than ever.
  • Aside from the doctors’ skills, the Colombian government has invested billions of dollars into improving the country’s medical infrastructure to provide a safe and tourist-friendly environment for health travelers. As a result, patients from the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America now have access to top-quality medical services and new hospitals, providers, and facilitators at a fraction of the cost in the U.S., Canada, or Europe.
  • Costs are often 30-50% less than in the United States and Europe, saving patients thousands of dollars on cosmetic procedures while providing all the safety and quality they would receive in top U.S. and European centers. In addition, Smiley Aesthetics and My Body by Design offer a complete medical tourism experience with comprehensive care packages, a four-star hotel, transportation, post-op care, and a dedicated bilingual Medical Tourism Expert to provide exquisite service.
