Colombia's Surge in Surgical Travel Abroad and a Preview of the ISAPS World Congress in Cartagena

In the next Instagram Live, Drs. Juan Sierra, National Secretary of Colombia, and Michel Rouif, Patient Safety Committee Co-Chair, will review patient safety standards and discuss the rising “travel abroad trend” for surgical procedures in Colombia. The discussion will also provide some insight for the upcoming ISAPS World Congress 2024 Cartagena, Colombia. 

With many patients choosing to undergo aesthetic plastic surgery, there is also a large number electing to travel abroad for such procedures, and this demographic is on the rise. Colombia is an extremely popular choice due to its competitive prices in the global market, and more data can be reviewed in the ISAPS Global Survey.

This trend makes it critical for ISAPS, as leaders in aesthetics, to remind patients to review important safety considerations. In this context, ISAPS has created the Patient Safety Diamond for safe aesthetic plastic surgery, which consists of four main pillars to ensure the safety of patients; they are: Surgeon, Surgical Setting, Procedure, and Patient.
