Surgical Drains, Compression Garments, and Post-Op Supplies Abroad

Everything you'll need post-surgery is available in Colombia at 60–90% below US prices — compression garments, scar treatment, and drain care included.

Post-operative supplies — compression garments, drain care, scar treatment — are readily available in Colombia at 60–90% below US prices. Here's what you'll need and where to get it.

Compression Garments

Essential after cosmetic surgery (BBL, tummy tuck, lipo). Colombian-made garments (brands: Fajas Colombianas, MariaE, Diane & Geordi) are globally recognized for quality. Available at medical supply stores throughout Medellín, Bogotá, and Cali. Cost: $30–$80 vs $100–$200+ in the US. Your surgeon or recovery house will recommend the specific type and compression level.

Surgical Drains

Some procedures (tummy tuck, breast reduction, facelift) require temporary drains. These are managed by your nursing staff at the recovery house or hospital. Drain output is measured and recorded. Drains are typically removed 3–7 days post-op by your surgeon.

Scar Treatment

Key TakeawayDon't pack post-op supplies from home — everything you need is available in Colombia at a fraction of US pricing. Your recovery house or surgeon's coordinator will guide you to the right products.
