Face Contouring in Dr. Julián Trujillo

About the clinic

Face contouring at Dr. Julián Trujillo’s practice in Cali, Colombia, includes surgical options for facial rejuvenation. Dr. Julián Trujillo Piedrahita has over 30 years devoted to facial surgery and has performed the deep plane facelift since 1995.

Deep plane facelift and facial procedures

The deep plane facelift releases facial retaining ligaments and repositions deeper tissue beneath the SMAS as one block. Unlike a skin-pull technique, it focuses on repositioning tissue rather than pulling the skin. Incisions are planned in natural creases around the ears and within the hairline.

Dr. Trujillo is trained in facial plastic surgery and otorhinolaryngology (ENT). He has performed 10,000+ facial cases and is a full member of the Colombian Society of Facial Plastic Surgery and Rhinology since 2007.

Depending on the consultation plan, facial contouring may include a midface lift, neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, fat grafting, or rhinoplasty. These procedures may be combined in one operation, with a single recovery period.

Anesthesia and recovery

General anesthesia is usually used. A qualified anesthetist assesses the patient beforehand and stays throughout the procedure. A facelift may involve one night of observation. If drains are used, they are removed during the first days.

For fat grafting, fat is taken from the abdomen, flanks, or thighs with fine cannulas. It is purified and injected in tiny droplets. Some fat is reabsorbed during the first months, so a later top-up may be needed.

During the first week, patients wear a compression garment and limit activity. Office work may be possible in weeks two or three. The facial contour typically settles over three to six months.

Surgery takes place in accredited clinics in Cali, selected during treatment planning. International patients can have a remote video consultation and receive a written plan with dates and a recommended stay length. Support may include accommodation arrangements, nursing, transfers, and video follow-up after returning home.

Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss which options may fit their needs.

Dr. Julián Trujillo: more details about the clinic

Colombia, Cali

Dr. Julián Trujillo is a private facial plastic surgery clinic in Cali, Colombia. It opened in 1995 and focuses on surgery that balances aesthetic refinement with healthy facial function. This single-specialty clinic is built around the work of its founder, Dr. Julián Trujillo Piedrahita.

Key Facts and Achievements

The clinic has managed over 10,000 facial cases, including surgeries and clinical follow-ups. Dr. Trujillo has over 30 years of surgical experience, all of it focused on the face. He has been a Full Member of the Colombian Society of Facial Plastic Surgery and Rhinology (SCCPFR) since 1999.

Recognitions and professional milestones include:

  • Honorary Member of the Colombian Academy of Reconstructive and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
  • Specialist in Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM)
  • Specialist in Facial Plastic Surgery from Universidad CES in Medellín
  • Guest speaker at the Rinos sin Fronteras international workshop in Paraguay

Patients come from the United States, Europe, Spain, and Latin America. The clinic limits surgical dates and books them in advance, so each patient gets personal long-term follow-up.

Specialties and Procedures

Care covers two main areas: Facial Plastic Surgery and Otorhinolaryngology (ENT). Because of this dual focus, the surgeon can fix structural breathing problems while making aesthetic changes.

Facial Rejuvenation

The clinic's signature procedure is the Deep Plane Facelift. Dr. Trujillo has performed it since 1995. This technique repositions deeper tissue layers instead of just pulling the skin, so results last longer. Full rejuvenation plans often combine several techniques:

  • Midface lifts to restore cheek and under-eye volume
  • Neck lifts to define the jawline and remove jowls
  • Brow and forehead lifts to open the upper face
  • Autologous fat grafting to restore natural volume with the patient's own tissue

Recovery happens in planned stages. Patients rest and wear compression during the first week. By the third week, they gradually return to social activities.

Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)

Surgeons perform cosmetic and reconstructive rhinoplasty for both women and men. Each plan aims to preserve or improve breathing. At the same time, the surgeon reshapes the bridge, tip, or width of the nose. For men, the team uses specific proportions so the result looks natural and suits a masculine face.

The clinic specializes in Revision Rhinoplasty for patients who want to correct results from earlier surgeries. Before planning a retouch, the team reviews previous surgical reports and medical history in detail.

Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

For lower eyelid rejuvenation, the clinic uses the transconjunctival technique. The surgeon removes or redistributes fat bags from inside the eyelid. Because the incision is internal, patients have no visible scars afterward.

Services for International Patients

The clinic takes an active role in coordinating trips to Colombia. It all starts with a remote video consultation to review the patient's goals and medical history. After the consultation, the team sends a written plan with surgery dates and the recommended length of stay.

International support services include:

  • Coordination of recovery houses and local accommodation in Cali
  • Nursing support during the first days after surgery
  • Airport transfers and transport between the clinic and accommodation
  • Scheduled follow-up reviews via video after the patient returns home

The team also guides patients on aftercare logistics. This helps them manage the first hours and days of recovery in a new city.

Honestly, at first I was very afraid to take the step of having my nose operated on, and during the healing process I had quite a few doubts; the process isn’t easy and it has its ups and downs. But it’s totally worth it: after two months I finally understood what it really means to breathe well, and by three months I started to notice the change in my nose, and people began to compliment me. I’ve been three and a half months in, and I’m very happy with the doctor’s work. As soon as I reach six months, I’ll share the full progress on his page.

I’m Lucemi Vasquez. Doctor Trujillo operated on me 23 years ago, and I’m happy with the results. Now I’m flying from New York to have more details and see the doctor again because I trust him.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Trujillo, from the first consultation to the follow-up after my rhinoplasty. He explained everything with a lot of patience, answered all my questions, and made me feel very at ease throughout the entire process. The result looks very natural and matches what I expected; I was delighted with his professionalism and the care of his entire team. Without a doubt, I recommend him to anyone considering a rhinoplasty and looking for a careful, honest doctor committed to his patients.

My experience with Dr Julián Trujillo was exceptional from start to finish. From the very first consultation, he conveyed confidence, professionalism, and a genuine interest in understanding my expectations.

I had a facial rejuvenation, and the results have exceeded everything I imagined. The result is natural, harmonious, and elegant; I look fresher and more rejuvenated without losing my essence.

I also want to highlight the care of his entire team, who were attentive to every detail and made me feel supported throughout the entire recovery process.
