Tummy tuck in Dr. Fernando Ortega – Plastic, Aesthetic & Reconstructive Surgeon
About the clinic
Tummy tuck surgery, or abdominoplasty, is offered by Dr. Fernando Ortega’s plastic surgery practice in Cali, Colombia. Dr. Ortega is a board-certified plastic surgeon with 10+ years of experience in body contouring.
Tummy tuck techniques
The operation removes excess abdominal skin and fat. When abdominal muscles have separated, deep sutures bring them closer together.
Dr. Ortega offers traditional abdominoplasty, M.I.L.A. and Fleur De Lis surgery. The choice depends on the amount of excess skin and muscle separation.
- M.I.L.A.: Minimally Invasive Lipo Abdominoplasty uses smaller incisions for muscle repair. The clinic describes its recovery as faster, supported by technology.
- Traditional abdominoplasty: May suit complex cases with large amounts of excess skin or severe muscle separation.
- Fleur De Lis: An option when significant skin removal is needed.
The scar is placed low on the abdomen, where underwear or swimwear can cover it. With M.I.L.A., the incision is smaller.
Assessment and consultation
An in-person assessment helps determine the suitable technique and set realistic expectations. The consultation may cost around $50 and includes a case assessment with Dr. Ortega. The exact surgery cost and details are provided during this visit.
Dr. Ortega trained at Universidad Libre de Cali and in Brazil under Prof. Dr. Ewaldo Bolivar de Souza Pinto, who works alongside him at the practice. To discuss your options, you can leave a request on Bookimed.

Dr. Fernando Ortega – Plastic, Aesthetic & Reconstructive Surgeon: more details about the clinic
Expertise and Experience
The medical team consists of two specialists. Dr. Fernando Ortega is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 10 years of experience in Cali. He specializes in body contouring and reconstructive procedures. He works alongside Prof. Dr. Ewaldo Bolivar de Souza Pinto.
Plastic and Reconstructive Specialties
The practice covers body, facial, and breast procedures. Specialists design surgical plans based on individual assessments.
Body Sculpting and Contouring
The clinic provides 360 liposculpture to remove fat from the abdomen, flanks, waist, and back. Surgeons use VASER technology to liquefy fat with ultrasonic energy. The Micro Aire system makes fat extraction more efficient and less traumatic. Key body procedures include:
- Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) using purified fat transfer
- High-definition abdominal etching
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) with diastasis correction
- Arm lift (brachioplasty) and thigh lift
- Fleur De Lis abdominoplasty for significant skin removal
Tummy tucks use the M.I.L.A. technique. This method repairs separated abdominal muscles through small incisions, so scars stay discreet.
Breast and Facial Surgery
Breast procedures include lift, reduction, and augmentation. Surgeons perform mastopexy using an exclusive L-technique. This approach leaves smaller scars than the traditional anchor method. Facial specialties include:
- Ultrasonic rhinoplasty for precise nose reshaping
- Facelift and facial feminization surgery (FFS)
- Blepharoplasty for upper and lower eyelid rejuvenation
- Brow lift to correct drooping tissues
The clinic also offers Mommy Makeover plans. These combine abdominal and breast surgeries into one procedure to address post-pregnancy changes.
Specialized Men's and Women's Health
Dr. Ortega treats gynecomastia in men through precision liposuction and glandular excision. This removes tissue that exercise cannot eliminate. For female intimate health, the clinic provides vaginoplasty and labiaplasty. These procedures restore tone and correct symmetry in a private setting.
Advanced Surgical Technology
The center uses high-technology platforms to improve outcomes and patient safety. Specialized equipment includes:
- VASER – ultrasonic energy for gentle fat emulsification
- Micro Aire – power-assisted lipoplasty for precise fat removal
- Ultrasonic tools – used in rhinoplasty for bone sculpting without tissue trauma
These technologies allow more refined results. They also support recovery by minimizing tissue damage.
Support for International Patients
The clinic provides a structured journey for patients traveling to Cali. Support begins with an initial case review and a personalized surgical plan. The team coordinates travel scheduling and recovery preparation before arrival. During the stay, patients receive close surgical support and medical guidance. Follow-up care continues after returning home to monitor long-term healing.
