"Surgery : Lipo / Abdomnoplastia Dec 2025 I had a consultation with Dr. Mejia after i went somewhere else and booked a surgery elsewhere but didnt feel comfortable going forward with them. I got to the office and had my consultation. Now, I can speak spanish at about 75/80 % but upon arrival in conversation with the doctor i learned he can speak english and his english isnt basic. He can speak french also which i dont. Anyway, if you are from an english speaking country I can confirm you will be comfortable with his english. I liked my interaction , he explained everything. I booked my surgery. Simple. The Surgery I had my surgery without complications. However, in the evening a few hours after my surgery my right side began to swell. The Nurses at Tesoro Quirafano (excellent place) saw it and sent a photo to Dr. Mejia right away. He said it looked bad. mind you, it was probably about 8/9 pm at night. My Doctor came back to the hospital within the hour! by the time he got there the swelling subsided, but in an abundance of cuation he still brought me back downstairs and reveiwed to make sure everything was superb (which it was/is). That act of professionalism was extremly reasurring. The thing is, the surgery was quick and relatively painless, the journey truly begins after the surgery has concluded. Im two months in and for the first 2 months I had visits with my doctor every 7 days. he is knowledgable , reliable and curteous. I am recovering with virtually no issues. Grateful for Dr Mejia and Yuli (his assistant)! Things you should know -First 7-14 days after surgery you may find it harder to poop -First 7-14 days after surgery you may find it harder to walk upright - First 7-14 days after surgery you may want to have some sort of assistance handy for daily tasks - if you can stay in Medellin 2-4 weeks, it is best so you can have your follow up appointments and get a prescription for any medicine if needed (it is included in your fee) PS I would do it again if i someone asked me. No Regrets!"

"Three weeks ago I had a breast lift without implants and posterior liposculpture with Dr Mejia. I live in Southern California and with the ridiculously high prices for plastic surgery here I decided to do it in Medellin. After very extensive research I decided to go with Dr Mejia and I could not be happier with my choice. The results have already surpassed my expectations and I know it’s going to get even better. Dr Mejia is very thorough, patient, professional and kind. His surgical capabilities and results are outstanding. To make things even better, his assistant Yuliana is fantastic. She is very competent and very quick to reply to all requests. They make a dynamic duo. THANK YOU BOTH for making this such a positive experience with great results."

"Dr. Jorge Mejia is a fabulous doctor and surgeon!! His assistant Yuliana is also amazing! Dr. Mejia's work is meticulous and very natural. He is a professional bar none and is also a kind and considerate human being. He cares about what you want to get done and he NEVER oversells anything. He will tell you honestly if he feels you don't need something done and will suggest an alternative. My husband and I trust him implicitly and would never go see another PS doctor anywhere else. Yuliana, his assistant is the first person you meet when you want to see or talk with Dr. Mejia and she is a gem and she runs his office seamlessly. Besides being so lovely, Yuliana is always prompt and professional as well in replying to a message, which I really appreciate. Dr. Mejia also speaks fluent English and that was very important to me to do with medical terminologies. I've had a few procedures done by Dr. Mejia and each one has been flawless and done perfectly. If you choose Dr. Mejia you will be 1000% pleased with your decision and your results. There are many doctors and surgeons in Medellin but this is where you want to come. Thank you always dearest Yuliana and Dr. Mejia, My husband and I adore you both :-). Thank you for being a wonderful professional in your field and for your kindness and care as well."

"My experience with Dr. Mejia has been amazing from start to finish on every single procedure I have done. He is very down to earth. I love that he is not just selling, he is educating and advising you on what is best for your body type, future plans and specific procedures. I really love the fact that he still has his human touch intact, he is very empathetic. I felt at home with him and his assistant. Yuliana was very responsive from start to finish. My experience with my procedures has been amazing, my recovery was amazing and super-fast, every single time. I don't care if I have to travel for long periods of time!! It was totally worth it. He is an excellent surgeon!! He is the best and my number one!!"

"I am not a patient of Dr. Mejia yet but I was able to meet him and see his work first hand. My sister came to him for a couple procedures and the level of care she received was incredible. The doctor is phenomenal and so knowledgeable. The level of care that he gives to his patients are life changing. He genuinely cares for his patients and it shows. His office staff is professional and so caring too. They are thorough with every detail and make sure you are prepared for everything. You are not just a number here, you are a human being and they care so much about every patient. My sister did a lot of research and got quotes from several doctors everywhere, but she picked the best one without a doubt! I highly recommend him to anyone looking to change their lives. We came all the way from Las Vegas to see him and have had the absolute best experience with him."
