Hello and welcome. I just had my morning coffee and prayed for guidance to explain why U.S. and Canadian patients travel to Bogotá for breast explant surgery.
Breast implant illness (BII) and systemic auto-immune symptoms have led many women to choose a permanent implant removal. Bogotá, Colombia is a leading destination for safe, board-certified explantation.
Clinical Safety in Bogotá
Safety is our absolute priority. We perform all explantations in fully accredited, high-complexity clinics in Bogotá. Dr. Andrés Pérez Nieto is a board-certified member of the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery (SCCP) and ISAPS, ensuring international safety protocols.
Total Capsulectomy & En Bloc Technique
For patients suffering from auto-immune symptoms, it is vital to perform a **total capsulectomy** (removing all scar tissue surrounding the implant). Whenever clinically safe and indicated, we utilize the **En Bloc** technique to remove the implant and capsule intact as a single unit, preventing any silicone leakage.
Travel Logistics for Explantation
International patients need to plan a stay of 12 to 14 days in Bogotá. This allows us to perform the pre-op checkup, the surgery, remove the surgical drains between days 3 and 5, and run the final post-op clearance before you fly back. Learn more on our breast explant page.
