Endoscopic facelift in Dr. Jorge Espinosa Reyes (clinic INO)
About the clinic
Endoscopic facelift at Clínica INO in Bogotá, Colombia, uses a deep-plane technique to reposition facial ligaments and tissue beneath the skin. Dr. Jorge Alberto Espinosa Reyes, a facial plastic surgeon and otorhinolaryngologist, is certified by the IFFPSS. He has over 25 years of facial surgery experience and has treated 5,000+ patients.
Endoscopic deep-plane technique
An endoscope guides the surgeon as deep facial tissue is repositioned, rather than pulling only the skin. This approach may lead to less swelling and fewer hematomas. Small incisions are hidden in the hairline and natural folds around the ears.
Planning includes clinical photos and 3D computerized facial analysis. The procedure takes 3 to 5 hours under general anesthesia. The first recovery night is spent in the surgical ward.
The technique may suit patients aged 30–45 seeking preventive lifting, as well as older patients considering deep-plane rejuvenation. Suitability depends on an individual assessment.
Preparation and recovery in Bogotá
Before surgery, patients have laboratory tests and an anesthesiology evaluation. Patients traveling from abroad should plan to stay in Bogotá for 12–15 days after surgery before flying.
Follow-up visits are scheduled at 3–4 days, 6–8 days for suture removal, 15 days, one month, and six months. Annual checkups follow.
- Avoid air travel for 12–15 days after surgery.
- Wait three weeks before exercising.
- Use sunscreen for two months.
Repeat procedures are commonly considered after 7–15 years, depending on the patient. Clínica INO’s operating rooms are accredited by Colombia’s Secretaría de Salud. The clinic has a 4.8/5 rating.

Facial Plastic Surgery and Rejuvenation
The clinic specializes in structural facial rejuvenation using the Deep Plane technique. This method repositions deeper facial structures and ligaments – not just the skin. The result is longer-lasting outcomes with less swelling and fewer hematomas.
Surgeons at Clinic INO perform several advanced facial procedures:
- Deep Plane Facelift – an endoscopic approach to lift cheeks and correct jawline laxity.
- Cervicoplasty – a neck lift to remove excess fat and tighten muscles.
- Blepharoplasty – surgery to correct eyelid sagging and remove under-eye bags.
- Frontoplasty – a forehead lift to reduce forehead size and elevate the brows.
Each surgical plan starts with a structured preoperative assessment. This includes a professional photo session and 3D computerized analysis to match surgical goals with the patient's facial anatomy.
Rhinoplasty and Functional Nasal Surgery
The team treats both aesthetic and functional nasal concerns. Since the lead surgeon is also an otorhinolaryngologist, procedures often address breathing issues alongside cosmetic changes. Operations typically last 2 to 3 hours.
Nasal procedures offered include:
- Septorhinoplasty – combining cosmetic refinement with septoplasty to correct a deviated septum.
- Nasal hump removal – surgical reduction of the dorsal hump to smooth the nasal profile.
- Tip rhinoplasty – refinement of the nasal tip and nostrils.
- Non-surgical nose correction – injectable fillers for minor profile adjustments.
Follow-up care is central to the treatment cycle. Patients attend check-ups during the first week after surgery. Scheduled visits continue for one year.
Specialized Medical Technology
Clinic INO uses modern surgical and diagnostic tools for treatment accuracy. Surgeons use endoscopic equipment for deep plane procedures. This minimizes incision size and improves visibility of deep tissue layers. Pre-operative planning relies on three-dimensional facial analysis software.
For non-surgical rejuvenation, the clinic offers energy-based and injectable options:
- Fractional CO2 Laser – for skin resurfacing and improving tissue texture.
- Botulinum toxin – injections for forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, and frown lines.
- Hyaluronic acid fillers – for lip enhancement and restoring volume in the cheeks or jawline.
International Patient Services
The clinic supports international travelers through a dedicated medical tourism pathway. Staff assist with logistics so patients can focus on recovery in Bogotá.
Services for international patients include:
- Local transportation and airport transfers.
- Hotel and accommodation coordination.
- Nursing support during the initial recovery phase.
- Follow-up visits before the patient returns home.
International patients should plan to stay in Bogotá for 12 to 15 days after major surgeries like cervicoplasty before flying.
