Tummy tuck in Corpus & Rostrum Clinic
About the clinic
Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) at Corpus & Rostrum Clinic in Cali, Colombia, removes excess abdominal skin and tightens the abdominal wall. The clinic offers a small-incision technique using Renuvion J Plasma, led by Dr. John Garcia, a plastic surgeon with over 15 years of experience.
Abdominoplasty options at Corpus & Rostrum Clinic
The clinic offers a “Surgery Without Scars” technique and traditional abdominoplasty. The small-incision technique uses Renuvion J Plasma helium plasma to tighten loose skin. The clinic reports tightening 5–7 cm of laxity, with retraction of up to 10 cm.
Traditional surgery removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal muscles with stitches. It leaves a low bikini-line scar and a scar around the navel. VASER ultrasonic technology is also used for high-definition liposculpture.
These options may suit people after pregnancy or those with prior abdominal scars, such as from a C-section or injury. Liposuction can remove fat, while a nutritional plan and supplements may address abdominal distension.
Recovery and follow-up
Recovery after the small-incision technique is under 2 weeks. Traditional tummy tuck recovery takes over 4 weeks before patients return to normal activities. Most patients stay at the clinic for 2–3 hours after treatment before returning to their accommodation.
Follow-up visits are scheduled for days 4, 8 and 12. Sutures are typically removed 10–12 days after surgery. Before the procedure, patients need a medical check-up, laboratory tests and internal medicine evaluations.
Surgeon and consultation
Dr. John Garcia trained in plastic surgery at Santa Casa de Misericordia in Rio de Janeiro. He is a member of ISAPS, FILACP, SCCP and ASPS. A virtual consultation with Dr. John Garcia lasts 20–30 minutes.
Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss which abdominoplasty option may fit their needs.

Corpus & Rostrum Clinic: more details about the clinic
Corpus & Rostrum Clinic is a private plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgery practice in Cali, Colombia. The clinic operates within a single building with three dedicated departments. Dr. John Garcia leads the practice. He focuses on surgical and non-surgical aesthetic care for the face and body.
Accreditations and Medical Team
Dr. John Garcia is a member of several professional associations:
- International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS)
- Ibero-American Federation of Plastic Surgery (FILACP)
- Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery (SCCP)
He earned his medical degree from the University of Guayaquil in 2002. He then completed a Master's degree in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. His advanced residency took place at Santa Casa de Misericordia in Rio de Janeiro, finishing in 2010. He has also published a book on breast reconstruction.
Specialties and "Surgery Without Scars"
The clinic is known for its Surgery Without Scars approach. This program uses techniques that minimize visible postoperative marking. These methods are available for several body-contouring procedures:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
- Brachioplasty (arm lift)
- Cervicoplasty (neck lift)
- Cruroplasty (thigh lift)
- Torsoplasty (back lift)
The clinic also performs traditional Body Sculpting and facial surgeries. Body procedures include gluteoplasty using either implants or the patient's own fat. Facial options include blepharoplasty, otoplasty, and chin surgery. Rhinoplasty is offered for both cosmetic and functional purposes.
Advanced Technology and Methods
The clinic uses specific platforms to improve skin tightening and fat removal. These technologies support reduced scarring and faster recovery:
- Renuvion J Plasma – helium plasma technology for precise skin tightening
- VASER – an ultrasonic system for high-definition lipoescultura
- Thread lifting – a non-surgical treatment for face and neck rejuvenation
Renuvion J Plasma is often paired with "Surgery Without Scars" to firm skin without large incisions. VASER helps surgeons remove fat while preserving surrounding tissues. For non-surgical volume, the clinic offers hyaluronic acid treatments for facial and body areas.
Services for International Patients
The clinic supports patients traveling to Colombia for treatment. Virtual consultations with Dr. John Garcia last 20–30 minutes. This allows for direct communication and planning before arrival. Patient coordination is available in English.
Most patients stay 2–3 hours for observation before returning to their accommodation. Follow-up appointments are scheduled on days 4, 8, and 12 to monitor healing. Sutures are typically removed between 10 and 12 days after the procedure.

I was hospitalized for one night and I was never alone. They always took care of me and stayed aware of my needs, even though I traveled alone from Spain and didn’t have an accompanying person.
For me, it was the best experience.
Thank you so much to Dr and his team 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
