Plastic Surgery Malpractice in Colombia
Many U.S. and Canadian patients travel to Colombia for plastic and cosmetic surgery. If you suffered a serious complication after a BBL, liposuction, breast surgery, tummy tuck, rhinoplasty or another cosmetic procedure, our legal team can review what happened and determine whether the facts may support a medical malpractice claim.

Medical Malpractice Cases We Evaluate in Colombia
This page is for patients whose treatment, surgery or procedure occurred in Colombia. We may evaluate matters involving:
- Plastic surgery — BBL, liposuction, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, breast reduction
- Rhinoplasty and facial surgery complications
- Cosmetic and aesthetic procedures gone wrong
- Dental malpractice — failed veneers, implants, serious complications
- Anesthesia errors and complications
- Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis in Colombia
- Surgical errors and postoperative complications
- Infection and inadequate follow-up after treatment
- Hospital negligence
- Wrongful death following medical treatment in Colombia
What to Do If Something Went Wrong
The first step is to preserve evidence. Medical records, operative reports, consent forms, photographs, laboratory results, invoices, prescriptions, messages with the clinic or surgeon and records of subsequent treatment at home may all be important.
A medical complication is not automatically malpractice. The relevant question is whether the available evidence supports a potential breach of the applicable standard of care and whether that breach caused compensable harm. That determination requires an individual evaluation of the facts.
Contact us before making decisions about repairs, further treatment or communications with the Colombian provider or their insurer.
Still Not Sure If You Have a Case?
That is exactly what the initial review is for. Tell us what happened and we will give you an honest assessment of whether your situation may warrant further legal evaluation.

Why Medical Malpractice in Colombia Is Different
Medical malpractice claims in Colombia involve a substantially different legal process from the contingency-based system many U.S. patients know. The applicable law, evidence requirements, litigation process and fee structure may all differ when treatment occurred in Colombia and the patient lives abroad.
When treatment occurred in Colombia, the legal analysis must account for Colombian law and the evidence available from the Colombian healthcare provider. Our practice focuses on serious matters involving significant injury, permanent impairment, major complications or wrongful death.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay to speak with a lawyer?
No. The initial case review is free and confidential. You speak with our legal team about what happened before any payment is discussed.
What does the USD 150 fee cover?
The USD 150 is a separate forensic medical-record audit, recommended only if your case appears to warrant deeper analysis after the initial review. It is not required to contact us or speak with our team.
Does a complication automatically mean malpractice?
No. A complication does not establish malpractice by itself. The facts, medical evidence, causation and applicable standards must be individually evaluated.
Can I contact you if I have already returned home?
Yes. The initial review begins remotely. Living outside Colombia does not prevent your case from being evaluated.
What if my records are in Spanish?
That is not a barrier. Our team works with Spanish-language medical documentation from Colombian providers routinely.
