Consultation with a dermatologist in Dr. Claudia Patricia Nieto González

Dr. Claudia Patricia Nieto González leads a single-specialty private clinic in Bogotá, Colombia. The practice focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery with a personalized approach. Dr. Nieto also teaches undergraduate and postgraduate plastic surgery students as a university professor. Her medical team includes 7 doctors across diverse specialties.

Professional Accreditations and Expertise

Dr. Nieto holds memberships in several international medical organizations. These include the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery (SCCP). She is also affiliated with the Ibero-Latin American Federation of Plastic Surgery (FILACP) and ICOPLAST. Her training includes specialized studies at the Military University Nueva Granada and the General Hospital Dr. Manuel Gea González in Mexico City.

Surgical Specialties and Safety Protocols

The practice prioritizes patient safety through a rigorous pre-operative protocol. Specialists check hemoglobin levels – requiring 12 g/dL for women and 13 g/dL for men. The clinic also requires mammography before any breast surgery to identify hidden lesions. This data becomes a reference for all future medical controls.

Body Contouring and Fat Transfer

Surgeons perform various body-shaping procedures, including Vaser Liposuction for refined contouring. This technology reduces localized fat in both men and women. The clinic also specializes in Lipotransfer, which moves a patient's own fat to the face or buttocks. In gluteal injections, 60% to 80% of transferred fat typically survives permanently. Specialists perform a calculated overcorrection to achieve the planned final volume.

Breast and Post-Bariatric Surgery

The clinic offers specialized solutions for patients after significant weight loss or pregnancy. The Mommy Makeover combines breast reduction with body contouring to address postpartum changes. For post-bariatric patients, Dr. Nieto performs breast lifts (pexia) to restore alignment with the new body shape. The practice also treats gynecomastia – enlargement of male breast glands.

Reconstructive and Corrective Procedures

Reconstructive offerings include scar management after burns and keloid removal surgery. Surgeons camouflage or reduce hypertrophic scars to improve both appearance and function. The clinic also provides corrective genital procedures for both men and women. These include vaginoplasty, labiaplasty, and functional male genital surgery.

Hair Restoration

For patients with alopecia, the clinic provides hair graft surgery. This procedure restores hair density and volume using a durable transplant method. Patients can generally resume normal activity within one week. Initial redness or inflammation typically fades shortly after the procedure.

Technological Capabilities

The facility uses Vaser Liposuction platforms for precise fat removal. It also employs radiofrequency technologies to help with skin retraction after surgery. Diagnostic tools include digital dermoscopy for mole mapping and dermatoscopy. These allow the team to monitor skin health before aesthetic procedures.

Services for International Patients

A dedicated coordinator supports international visitors from first contact through recovery. The clinic offers teleorientación – authorized medical distance orientation via video call. This service lets the team review medical histories and photos before travel. While teleorientación provides an initial plan, Colombian law requires a mandatory in-person evaluation before surgery. The coordinator also helps with recovery timing and pre-surgical examination schedules.
