Tummy tuck in Dr. Andrés Camayo

Dr. Andrés Camayo is a private plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine practice in Cali, Colombia. It sits in the Ciudad Jardín neighborhood and has a small team of two specialized physicians. Both have about 15 years of experience with facial and body procedures.

Accreditations and Professional Qualifications

The clinic's specialists belong to several recognized international and national medical organizations. These memberships mean they follow global surgical standards and undergo regular professional review.

• ISAPS – International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
• ASPS – American Society of Plastic Surgeons
• SCCP – Sociedad Colombiana de Cirugía Plástica Estética y Reconstructiva

Dr. Andrés Camayo and his colleague studied medicine at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá. They then trained in plastic surgery at Santa Cecilia University in Brazil.

Body Contouring and Surgical Procedures

The practice performs a range of body shaping surgeries with fat transfer and implants. Each patient gets a structured recovery plan, so healing after surgery stays on a safe track.

• MicroAire Liposculpture: Uses a power-assisted device that vibrates at 4,000 cycles per minute. This helps the cannula move more easily, so the surgeon works with more precision and less manual effort.
• Gluteoplasty: Enlarges the buttocks with fat grafting or silicone implants. Recovery usually takes 2–3 weeks, and patients can exercise again after 1 month.
• Lipoabdominoplasty: Combines a tummy tuck with liposuction for an athletic-looking abdomen. Initial recovery generally takes 8–10 days.
• Mastopexy: Lifts sagging breasts by repositioning the tissue inside. Surgeons may add implants during the lift to restore lost volume.

After breast procedures, patients should wear loose clothing for at least one week. Most can return to physical activity 6 weeks after surgery.

Facial Surgery and Rejuvenation

Facial procedures address specific aesthetic concerns while keeping the face symmetrical and natural. The clinic offers both surgery and injectables for the face and neck.

Rhinoplasty at the practice improves the size and profile of the nose without affecting breathing. Most patients go back to work within 3–4 days. Stitches usually come out about 10 days after the procedure.

Chin liposuction is an outpatient procedure, so patients return to routine activities within 3–4 days. For broader signs of facial aging, specialists perform mini facelifts and buccal fat extraction.

Aesthetic Medicine and Non-Surgical Treatments

Non-surgical options refresh the face with little or no downtime. They target expression lines, volume loss, and loss of skin elasticity.

• Botox: Used for the forehead, glabella, and around the eyes. Patients must not rub the treated areas for 12 hours after injection.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Treats under-eye circles and nasolabial folds, and adds volume to the lips. Afterward, patients should avoid sun and hot drinks for 3 hours.
• Thread Lifting: Uses hyaluronic acid threads to improve facial contour and skin firmness.

Injectables need no formal recovery time. They are a good alternative for patients who don't want surgery.

International Patient Recovery and Services

The clinic has specific protocols for patients traveling from other cities or countries. Anesthesiologists review each case and choose between local and general anesthesia. Recovery is closely tracked, so patients only fly when it's safe.

Patients from abroad should stay in Cali for at least 12 days. This gives the medical team time to monitor early healing before the flight home. After major surgery, patients need 24 to 48 hours of complete rest.
