“After spending 6 months contemplating whether or not to have surgery to repair my umbilical hernia, it only took one meeting with Dr. Javier Serrano to finally make the decision to move forward with it. From the first second I met Javier, I felt more comfortable than I ever have before with a surgeon. This is especially impressive considering my first language is English and his, Español. Despite the language gap, we communicated very well and I consider Javier´s level of English sufficient to keep an English-speaking patient well-informed. His demeanor and personality are comforting and relaxed, while still being detailed and informative. Javier even gave me his personal WhatsApp number after the first meeting and promptly answered every question I had leading up to the surgery. I never felt rushed or pressured to make a decision throughout the entire process, just well informed and confident. The surgery was scheduled for 8 days after the initial consultation, the ideal time period I desired. Through discussion and consultation, we also decided to remove 3 benign lipomas and a skin tag that were bothering me as well. The surgery took place at Qlub Quirófanos Oviedo, which beyond impressed me in terms of the cleanliness, state-of-the-art equipment, friendly staff, timeliness, etc. Javier met with me in the lobby prior to the surgery and I can honestly say by the time I went in for the surgery I had not an ounce of worry and was actually excited for the surgery. I was fully confident that Javier and the rest of the medical staff would do their absolute best to fix me up. The entire billed time for the surgery (15 mm umbilical hernia repair, removal of 3 lipomas and one skin tag) was approximately an hour and a half, very efficient from my perspective. The TOTAL cost of the surgery process (consultations, blood work, ultrasound, surgery, surgeon and clinic fees, insurance, post-surgery care, etc.) was approximately $1600 USD, which was beyond fair, especially for Medellin and considering the level of attention and care I received throughout the process. After the surgery, Javier continued to promptly answer any question I had during the recovery process via Whatsapp. The healing process went so well that I didn't need a single pill for pain, how amazing! 5 days post-surgery I met with Javier in-person for a check-up and everything was healing properly. I am writing this review on day 18 (post-surgery) and am still happy to say everything is going as well as I could have expected. I am following the recommended recovery steps diligently and trust in any advice Javier has given. 10/10 rating for Dr. Javier Serrano on my umbilical hernia surgery!”

Frequently asked questions

How long does lipoma or cyst surgery take?

The duration of the procedure varies depending on the size and location of the lesion, but most removals are outpatient and typically take between 30 minutes and an hour. I will inform you of the specific estimated time for your case during the evaluation.

What is the cost of removal, and are there financing options?

The cost is determined after the evaluation, as it depends on the complexity and type of anesthesia required. During the consultation, I will provide you with a detailed quote. Regarding financing, we can explore options or payment plans according to your needs.

What side effects or risks should I consider?

As with any surgical procedure, there are minimal risks such as bleeding, infection, or scarring. My goal is to minimize these risks with careful technique and rigorous follow-up. I will explain the potential effects in detail during our consultation.

What can I expect during my first consultation?

During the first consultation, I will perform a complete evaluation of your lesion, review your medical history, and answer all your questions. It's a space for you to share your concerns, and together we will define the best path forward.

Are there cases where surgery is not recommended?

Yes, in some cases, especially if the lesion is very small, asymptomatic, and poses no risk, surgery might not be the first option. I will carefully evaluate your situation and recommend what is most convenient for your health.

Are there alternatives to surgery for treating lipomas or cysts?

For benign lipomas and cysts, surgical removal is the most common and effective method. Some very small lesions may only require observation, but this is something we should discuss during your individual evaluation.
