Breast lift in Dr. Ana María Salinas Rendón

Dr. Ana María Salinas Rendón runs a private plastic surgery practice in Medellín's El Poblado district. The clinic focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive care for adults and children. Dr. Salinas Rendón operates from one main facility but performs surgeries at several specialized centers across the city.

Academic Credentials and Recognition

Dr. Ana María Salinas Rendón graduated in plastic surgery from the University of Antioquia. She holds membership in the SCCP (Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery). With around 12 years of clinical experience, she also taught in the plastic surgery postgraduate program at the University of Antioquia for 7 years.

The practice emphasizes surgical education and international collaboration. Dr. Salinas Rendón spent a year training other surgeons in simulator environments. She also participated in the Chang Gung Forum 2024, which focused on advanced reconstructive techniques. This keeps the practice aligned with modern surgical standards for complex cases.

Specialties in Breast Surgery

The clinic offers several options for breast aesthetic and reconstructive needs:

• Mastopexy (Breast Lift): This procedure corrects breast ptosis and repositions the areola. Surgeons use T-inverted (anchor) or L-shaped techniques to restore firmness. The operation typically lasts 4 hours under general anesthesia.
• Breast Explantation: The clinic removes silicone implants permanently. This is often combined with mastopexy patterns to maintain a natural shape.
• Lipoinjection: Autologous fat transfer enhances volume or improves symmetry in select cases.
• Breast Augmentation: Silicone implants increase volume for patients seeking fuller breasts.

For mastopexy, periareolar techniques suit very selected cases. This option minimizes scarring by placing incisions only around the nipple.

Pediatric Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

The clinic manages complex childhood conditions through coordinated care plans. Services include reconstructive surgery for cleft lip and palate. The practice works with speech therapy, psychology, and pediatric dentistry to support feeding and speech development. This helps children adapt during their school years.

Other pediatric services include:

• Correction of hand malformations such as syndactyly (webbed fingers) or polydactyly (extra digits).
• Otoplasty for prominent ears projecting more than 2 centimeters.
• Lobuloplasty to reconstruct split or stretched earlobes.
• Auricular reconstruction for congenital ear conditions.

Lobuloplasty is an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. It takes about 60 minutes, and recovery is practically painless.

Surgical Facilities and Safety

Dr. Salinas Rendón operates in dedicated surgical environments to maintain consistent care. These include El Tesoro Surgery Center, IQ Interquirofanos, and Clinica Noel. Aftercare instructions cover hydration, specialized massage, and light protection for surgical sites to improve scar healing.

The clinic supports international patients through dedicated coordination. Travelers receive detailed treatment planning before arrival. The practice creates management plans for both aesthetic goals and functional reconstructive outcomes.
