Forehead Contouring in Corpus & Rostrum Clinic

About the clinic

Forehead lift surgery, also called frontoplasty, is offered at Corpus & Rostrum Clinic in Cali, Colombia. Patients can choose a classic lift or an endoscopic technique, and Dr. John Garcia has over 15 years of experience in plastic surgery.

Two forehead lift techniques

A forehead lift can raise sagging brows and soften lines that make the face look tired, sad, or grumpy. The classic technique uses a coronal incision that runs from one ear, across the forehead, to the other ear. The scar typically sits behind the hairline.

For the classic technique, the surgeon lifts the forehead skin, adjusts tissues and muscles, raises the eyebrows, and removes excess skin. Before surgery, the hair is divided and tied with small bands on both sides of the incision line.

The endoscopic lift uses 4–5 small incisions instead of one long incision. A thin camera, called an endoscope, gives the surgeon a view of the tissues and muscles beneath the skin. The clinic describes its results as comparable to those of the classic lift.

Surgeon and follow-up

Dr. John Garcia trained in plastic and reconstructive surgery at Santa Casa de Misericordia in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He belongs to ISAPS, FILACP, and the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery.

After surgery, patients stay at the clinic for 2–3 hours 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.

International patients can arrange a 20–30 minute online consultation with Dr. John Garcia before traveling. To learn which technique may suit your needs, request a consultation through Bookimed.

Corpus & Rostrum Clinic: more details about the clinic

Colombia, Cali

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 had surgery here 4 months ago with Dr Jaulin and everything was perfect 👌🏻 The staff was a 10, the facilities were well kept, the on-duty doctors were excellent—above all, the human touch.
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 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The clinic stands out for the quality of its care and for treating the patient as a whole—not only their physical condition, but also their overall well-being. It has a comfortable, well-maintained infrastructure, and the best part is its human talent: people with a vocation, kind and committed, who make you feel in good hands.
