For fellows seeking an immersive experience in aesthetic plastic surgery as practiced day-to-day in South America, particularly in Cali, Colombia, where high volumes of aesthetic procedures are performed daily and where body sculpting and buttock augmentation have been commonplace long before gaining popularity elsewhere, this presents an excellent opportunity to participate hands-on in the Operating Room (OR).
The surgery center boasts five operating rooms dedicated to various aesthetic plastic surgery procedures, ranging from body contouring to buttock enhancements, breast aesthetic surgery, facial procedures, rhinoplasties, and hair transplantation. Fellows have the flexibility to select their operating room based on their interests each day, where one of the nine plastic surgeons at the center conducts surgeries.
Furthermore, fellows can indulge in the spa facilities and explore non-surgical devices for body and facial rejuvenation, along with other non-invasive approaches. It is recommended to publish an article by the end of the fellowship. Upon completion of the program, participants will have gained valuable exposure to aesthetic plastic surgery procedures, providing insights to enhance their practice as plastic surgeons.
Fellows can find a nearby hotel or can be assisted by the fellowship host to find something appropriate.
Applicants must check visa requirements of the country they plan to visit before applying for the ISAPS Fellowship Program.
For visa and immigration information, please read the details on the Colombian Government's official website.
Licensure is required. It is only with a valid license that you will be able to perform hands-on tasks throughout the fellowship.
There are many small hotels within walking distance of the surgery centre. You can also use Uber or a taxi. If you prefer a private driver the host can also help you arrange it.
CORPUS & ROSTRUM
During a fellowship, the fellow can expect to observe these subjects and techniques:
“It was a wonderful experience. I went to see the Corpus y Rostrum clinic in Cali, Colombia, with Dr. Lina Triana. I was able to see and participate in many surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. It would be nice if all the young plastic surgeons and residents could have the opportunity for a rotation like that.”
