A 17 day stay after surgery in Colombia is sufficient for most procedures. International protocols typically require 15 to 21 days for initial healing. This window allows for drain removal and wound stabilization. Major body contouring or multi-area surgeries often require at least 21 days for safety.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While 17 days meets the baseline, clinics like Bonilla Plastic Surgery often suggest up to 21 days to combine recovery with light tourism. This extra buffer is vital for patients undergoing laser-assisted fat removal or abdominoplasty. Dr. Ricardo Bonilla focuses on incisions under 6cm, which helps speed up the return to travel readiness.
Patient Consensus: Patients note that even if they feel ready at 2 weeks, they often face unexpected fatigue or swelling during airport transfers. Most recommend planning for 3 weeks if you have multiple procedures to ensure you can handle luggage and long walks.
