The clinic uses Motiva Ergonomix2 implants, often called "gummy bear" implants because of their form-stable gel. These implants use a nanotextured SilkSurface to lower the risk of inflammation and capsular contracture. The gel mimics natural tissue and changes shape based on your body position. Patients can choose volumes ranging from 200 cc to over 800 cc. Dr. Tobón uses external sizers and sports bras to help patients select the right size before the operation.
Patients can choose between two main surgical approaches based on their needs and anatomy:
The clinic provides a structured follow-up plan for one year after the surgery. Patients wear a post-surgical bra for about 4 to 6 weeks to support healing. Initial rest is required on the first day, and most daily routines resume by day 8. Dr. Tobón is available 24/7 for any concerns during the recovery period. Final results usually appear around month 6 as the tissue settles into its new shape. Regular check-ups occur at specific intervals, including one month and six months after the procedure.

All surgeries take place at the Quirófanos El Tesoro facility. This surgical center uses specialized medical technology and follows strict safety protocols. Anesthesiologists and nurses support the surgeon during each procedure.
The practice has performed over 3,000 successful breast procedures. A key differentiator is the Preserve technique for breast augmentation. This method protects natural tissue structures to achieve refined results. The process involves several specific steps:
Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. It typically lasts about one hour. Most patients return to normal activities within 2 to 8 days.
The clinic also offers breast lift surgery, known as mastopexy. This can be done with or without implants. For complex cases, the surgeon uses vertical or inverted T patterns to reduce visible scarring. Recovery also ranges between 2 and 8 days.
Dr. Tobón performs several abdominal and body enhancement surgeries. Tummy tucks remove excess skin and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles. Patients must stop alcohol and tobacco use before this surgery. Final results typically appear within 3 to 6 months.
The clinic offers additional body contouring options:
Liposuction recovery generally takes 2 to 4 weeks. For gluteoplasty, the surgeon provides a personal phone line for constant contact during healing.
International patients receive support from the initial inquiry through long-term recovery. The clinic offers personalized virtual consultations before patients travel to Colombia. This helps establish a clear treatment plan and transparent communication. Staff also help coordinate surgical schedules and identify local accommodations.
Recovery support includes a structured follow-up program. For breast surgeries, this means periodic check-ups scheduled over one full year. Dr. Tobón provides his personal mobile number to address any post-operative concerns. He also conducts in-person follow-up visits as often as needed.
