Abdominoplasty, or a tummy tuck, tightens the abdominal wall and includes umbilical reconstruction. It is offered at Dr. Giovanny Alvarado’s plastic surgery clinic in Cali, Colombia. Dr. Giovanny Alvarado Hermida, a plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience, performs the operation himself from start to finish.
The technique uses muscle plication to tighten the abdominal wall and reconstruct the navel. It often avoids post-operative drains and aims to limit scarring.
The clinic is ISO 9001-certified and classified as a Level IV facility in Colombia. An on-site hyperbaric chamber is available to support healing.
Before surgery, patients are asked to stop aspirin, anti-inflammatory medicines, Omega 3, and Vitamin E 15 days beforehand. Smokers are asked to quit at least one month before surgery. Patients with chronic illnesses need a pre-anesthesia assessment. A body mass index below 30 is recommended.
After surgery, Dr. Alvarado personally handles check-ups, wound care, and suture removal. He is available by personal phone around the clock for post-operative support.
Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss whether this abdominoplasty approach may suit their needs.

Dr. Giovanny Alvarado (Plastic Surgery) is a private single-specialty practice in Cali, Colombia. The clinic focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Dr. Giovanny Alvarado Hermida, a board-certified plastic surgeon, leads the facility and personally manages all aspects of patient recovery.
The practice holds several international and national certifications:
Dr. Alvarado brings 20 years of surgical experience to the practice. He completed his residency at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
The clinic limits surgeries to two cases per day. This gives Dr. Alvarado full attention for every procedure. He personally conducts all post-operative check-ups, wound care, and suture removal – these tasks are never delegated to assistants.
The clinic offers abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) using a technique that often eliminates the need for post-operative drains. The procedure includes muscle plication to tighten the abdominal wall. Umbilical reconstruction methods minimize visible scarring. For body sculpting, Dr. Alvarado uses precision liposuction with small-diameter cannulas to remove fat in layers.
Dr. Alvarado performs breast augmentation and mastopexy (breast lift). The surgical team uses dual-plane placement for implants. This positions the implant behind the pectoral muscle while releasing the lower portion for natural movement. Breast lifts can use the patient's own tissue or combine with implants.
The mommy makeover combines multiple procedures to restore body shape after pregnancy. To manage surgical stress and reduce blood loss, the clinic often splits treatments into sessions. One session typically covers the tummy tuck and liposuction. A second session addresses breast and genital surgery.
The practice provides facial rejuvenation, rhinoplasty, and otoplasty (ear surgery). A significant portion of the practice focuses on reconstructive surgery, including correction of failed procedures from other facilities. The team also treats keloid scars using surgical and supportive therapies.
The clinic uses energy-based systems to enhance liposuction results and treat scar tissue. For patients seeking alternatives to surgery, several injectable and thread-based treatments are available:
The facility also has a hyperbaric chamber. This supports healing by delivering concentrated oxygen to the patient.
Dr. Alvarado is available 24/7 via his personal phone to address concerns during recovery. The practice offers English-language procedure information and detailed preparation guides for international visitors.
Patients receive specific pre-operative instructions. These include discontinuing supplements like Omega 3 and Vitamin E 15 days before surgery. The clinic also coordinates support from specialists in anesthesiology, internal medicine, and dermatology.
