Hi everyone,
I’ll be having surgery July 2020 (hopefully if all goes well despite COVID, will keep you updated) I’m staying at VIP CARE recovery house through Dr Ortega. (They gave me a great deal and I figured why not saves me the trouble of finding another RH). The process was easy to book, I had a friend who did her surgery back in 2018 and that’s why I decided to go with Ortega, plus all the reviews and YouTube videos I watched. My other option was Fisher in Miami.

Hi! I just started doing my research here. I have a doctor who I am leaning towards because I have seen his work in friends and I really like it. He is also located in Cali, however because of Covid I am a bit worried. I was thinking of scheduling for July as well. How did you find the RH clinic, from your research since you already have a date, what have they told you as far as their regulations because of covid?

Hi @bellami16822 I'm also looking into going to Cali for a BBL 360 and possible a TT. I did most of my own research but I also was able to get in contact with a consultant that doesn't charge for her services but she helps with everything. She contacts the Drs for you in DR and Colombia her instagram is @lefnybeautyconsultant. If it's a Dr she works with she doesn't charge but if it's someone you're interested outside her scope I believe she charges $200

Once you receive a quote they offer their RH with specials, it will be cheaper than some places considering they’re throwing in a bunch of stuff and prefer you to stay there. For post op they won’t go to any other RH house to see you and they do the massages in house. So I think it’s just easier to stay which them which is why I chose to. However they’re are plenty of other good RH too just have to see what they offer and ask about any hidden fees. Colombia is supposed to open its borders May 30th and I was told they are monitoring it. Also a covid test will be required there and I believe here before I go.

Hello Bellami , I was booked for July with Ortega but I rescheduled to September because of the global lockdown . My advice would be to check the Colombian embassy website frequently in regard to unessential travel . There has been a mandatory self-isolation for 14 days placed on ALL foreigners (asymptomatic included) . These quarantines have been enforced harshly by their local authorities . Meaning you cannot step outside of the designated isolation facility at all for 14 days . ( you would be responsible for the cost of this stay as well ). This isolation would have to take place *PRIOR* to your surgery , so this would add another 14 days to your total length of stay . Also Dr Ortega is requiring a Covid test while in the US and another Test prior to having surgery once in Colombia . I’m pretty sure all Colombian surgeons are going to add new requirements to be eligible for surgery since this whole covid situation.

But I am not fearful , or worried. It will just require more research ( from official sources in Colombia ) and open communication with your surgeons office .

May 29, 2020
Is the 4950 for the bbl, the recovery house for 10 days, massages, and blood/lab tests? Can you please let me know what the price entails exactly?

Recovery home , transportation package : $1800 ( 14 days /nights , private suite )
June 6, 2020

May 18, 2020
Sorry to ask so many questions...did you book months ahead?
May 18, 2020
No I actually booked in in April
May 27, 2020
How much was the RH a night? And what's the name?
May 27, 2020
It ranges from $80 to $95 a night depending on the kind of room you would like. I paid $320 for a total of 14 nights 10 of those were free because I booked with them. It’s called VIPcare Recovery
May 29, 2020
The plan was to stay a total of 12 days. 2 days pre op and 10 days post op. But because of the virus I have to arrive 5 days before surgery. I was ready to put down a deposit but all these extra days mean more money. Mind you this special they're having covers 10 days free recovery home. Is anyone else going in September for their special?
May 29, 2020
Originally you would have to stay 3 days post op. Colombia requires you to be in the country 72 hrs prior surgery and depending on what you’re having done 10 days post op. (If your flight is less than 6 hrs)

UPDATED FROM tylertaylor1

September surgery postponed

Hi everyone,

I was scheduled for July that got pushed back to September (going based off the opening dates for the country) turns out the regulations are not clear at all and the people there don’t even understand how the traveling restrictions work. from my understanding the borders are open for Colombian citizens and humanitarian work. So to be on the safe side since international flights have been cancelled I decided to move mine to October and play it by ear. Ortega’s staff has been really accommodating
