Facial liposuction for contouring is offered at Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Cali, Colombia. The clinic uses VASER ultrasound technology, and facial surgeons Dr. Edgar Vergara and Dr. Judith Cadavid each have over 40 years of experience.
VASER technique and alternatives
VASER uses ultrasound energy to break down fat while sparing surrounding tissue. The clinic notes that patients may have less bruising with this method. Laser liposculpture is another technique offered.
Facial fat transfer and stem cell facial skin rejuvenation are also available. These options begin with liposuction from a donor area, followed by processing and injection of fat into the face.
Surgeons and preparation
Dr. Edgar Vergara is a plastic, maxillofacial and hand surgeon. He trained at the Ivo Pitanguy Clinic in Rio de Janeiro and belongs to plastic surgery societies in Brazil and Colombia.
Dr. Judith Cadavid is an otorhinolaryngologist and facial surgeon. She holds a master’s degree in otorhinolaryngology from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.
Before surgery, the on-site laboratory can run blood count, creatinine, glucose and urine tests. It also checks HIV antibodies and blood clotting with PT and PTT tests.
Recovery support
