Forehead lift in Doctor Julio Gil
About the clinic
A forehead lift with brow pexy is offered by Dr. Julio Gil at Clínica La Sabana in Bogotá, Colombia. Dr. Julio Gil has over 30 years of experience and 15,000+ procedures performed.
Endoscopic forehead lift
The procedure uses small incisions behind the hairline. Through these, an endoscope helps lift forehead tissue and raise the eyebrows. Excess skin may also be removed.
General frontoplasty takes 2 to 3 hours and uses local or general anesthesia. The male variant takes 1 to 2 hours. The listed minimum age is over 18.
Dr. Julio Gil is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery, and FILACP.
Preparation and recovery
For 10 days before surgery, patients should stop anti-inflammatory medicines, aspirin, omega 3, 6, or 9, and vitamin E. Surgery should not take place during an active cold or flu. Patients should arrange a ride home after the procedure.
Recovery time is listed as 5 days. Patients should avoid physical exertion during the first week and attend follow-up visits. They can wash their hair and shower normally after surgery or once bandages are removed.
Prescribed medication and regular facial hygiene are part of the listed aftercare. A wide scar may form if the skin is stretched too much or swelling is excessive. Hair loss can occur along the scar edges.
This procedure may not suit patients who have had upper eyelid surgery, because their eyelids may not close properly. To discuss whether a forehead lift may be appropriate, patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.

Doctor Julio Gil: more details about the clinic
Doctor Julio Gil is a private plastic and reconstructive surgery practice in Bogotá, Colombia. Established in 2024, the clinic is led by its founder, Dr. Julio Gil. He specializes in aesthetic refinement and functional facial surgery. The facility operates as a single-specialty center focused on individualized surgical plans for local and international patients.
Key Facts and Professional Achievements
The practice has approximately 30 years of surgical experience in Colombia. Dr. Julio Gil has performed over 15,000 procedures during his career, including more than 7,000 aesthetic surgeries. The clinic maintains memberships in major medical organizations:
- American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
- Sociedad Colombiana de Cirugía Plástica (SCCP)
Dr. Gil previously served as an academic coordinator and postgraduate professor at Juan N. Corpas University. He trained at the Institute of Reconstructive Surgery of Jalisco in Mexico.
Surgical Specialties and Methods
The clinic focuses on facial harmony and body contouring through surgical and non-surgical treatments. Each procedure involves a surgeon, anesthesiologist, surgical instrument specialist, and nursing staff.
Facial and Reconstructive Surgery
Specialists balance aesthetic goals with respiratory function in nasal procedures. The clinic performs various facial operations:
- Rhinoplasty – including functional septoplasty and ultrasonic techniques
- Blepharoplasty – removing excess tissue to reduce under-eye bags
- Bichectomy – removing fat pads to refine cheek contour
- Mentoplasty – chin augmentation to improve facial profile
- Otoplasty – ear pinning and reshaping
Precise diagnostic planning and pre-operative evaluations help achieve natural-looking results. For hair restoration, the clinic offers capillary transplants and PRP treatments to strengthen hair and manage alopecia.
Body Aesthetic Surgery
The clinic treats localized fat deposits and breast concerns with targeted surgical methods. Surgeons perform conventional and laser-based liposuction for both men and women. This technique targets fat in the abdomen, back, and hips that doesn't respond to diet or exercise.
Breast procedures include mammoplasty and mastopexy. For augmentation, the clinic uses silicone gel implants designed to improve shape and volume. Scars are placed around the areola, so they remain nearly invisible over time.
Technology and Treatment Protocols
The clinic uses modern platforms to improve patient safety and recovery times. Plexr technology allows non-surgical laser rejuvenation. This system treats skin laxity and wrinkles without traditional incisions.
For injectable treatments, Dr. Gil uses reticulated hyaluronic acid fillers. This material maintains stable facial volume longer than non-reticulated versions. The practice also provides Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to stimulate tissue regeneration.
Services for International Patients
The practice accommodates travelers from the United States and Canada. Spanish-speaking support is available throughout the consultation and recovery process. The clinic provides guidance on post-procedure care for safe healing after international travel.
Patients follow a structured recovery protocol:
- Compression garments worn for 4–8 weeks
- Nutritional guides provided by the surgical team
- Follow-up evaluations coordinated via mobile platforms
Safety protocols require patients to avoid anti-inflammatories and specific vitamins for 10 days before surgery. This reduces bleeding risk and helps achieve planned surgical outcomes.
