I was in need to change my breast implants and also was seeking an enlargement. A close friend had recently visited Dr. Arevalo in Bogota, Colombia, for a cosmetic surgery procedure, namely rhinoplasty, and she highly recommended this Doctor and clinic due to the high level of professionalism with which she had been treated. My friend also confirmed he is one of the most highly respected doctors in the country. I decided to have the procedure and spoke with Doctor Arevalo whilst I was in California. He was very attentive, discussed the procedure with me, and gave me all necessary recommendations to travel to Bogota for the procedure. I immediately felt very comforted by him. His advice was that I would need three days in Bogota prior to the procedure, and 10 days for recovery in Bogota, after the procedure to ensure it was safe to fly back to the United States and avoid any post surgery risks. When I arrived in Bogota, Doctor Arevalo was highly attentive at all times, and in my opinion, provided the best advice in terms of size and shape for my implants. He also perfectly understood the result I wanted and I certainly could not be happier with the outcome. The entire procedure from beginning to end was so worry free and simple, from carrying out blood tests, to speaking with the anaesthetist, that I felt very calm before my procedure. The day of the operation was so easy and straightforward I would definitely do it again! I arrived at the hospital at 6am, was seen to by the nurses, the operation started on time at 7am with general anaesthetic, and two hours later was all completed. I was under observation at the hospital for a mere two hours and then was able to leave . Doctor Arevalo contacted me every day after the operation to ensure I was well, and saw me as necessary to make the required post-op checks. Again I would truly like to stress that I highly recommend this doctor and his staff, especially for anyone travelling from United States for a cosmetic surgery procedure. Doctor Arevalo´s experience, command of the english language, understanding of the patient´s desired results, professionalism, and willingness to be in contact every step of the way, has made this a great experience.

I have very high regard and respect for Doctor Arevalo, who despite his very busy schedule, always made time for me, and was always available for any question or concern I may have had, to which he would always reply as soon as he possibly could. I always felt very comforted and calm and was incredibly pleased by our communication in terms of the final result I wanted as I felt he completely understood this. He was incredibly helpful and understanding and I strongly recommend him for any cosmetic procedure.
