Mammoplasty in Dr. Luis Guillermo Tobón – Plastic Surgery Clinic
About the clinic
Mammoplasty at the Dr. Luis Guillermo Tobón – Plastic Surgery Clinic in Medellín, Colombia, offers advanced options for breast augmentation. Led by a surgeon with over 30 years of experience, the clinic focuses on natural-looking results and recovery speed. Patients can choose between traditional methods or the specialized Preserve technique depending on their goals.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
Dr. Luis Guillermo Tobón performs breast augmentation using two primary methods at the Quirófanos El Tesoro surgical center. The traditional approach takes about one hour under general anesthesia. The clinic also offers the Preserve technique, which is a minimally invasive option. During this procedure, the surgeon separates tissue layers rather than cutting them. This method uses local anesthesia with sedation and typically lasts between 20 and 30 minutes. It helps protect nerves and blood vessels during the surgery.
Implants and Placement
The clinic uses Motiva Ergonomix2 silicone implants. These implants are known for their durability and natural feel. The surgeon places them through a 4 cm incision in the fold under the breast. Depending on the patient's anatomy, the implants are positioned in one of three ways:
- Submuscular: placed under the chest muscle.
- Subglandular: placed behind the breast tissue.
- Subfascial: placed under the thin layer of tissue covering the muscle.
Specialist Expertise
Dr. Luis Guillermo Tobón is a plastic and aesthetic surgeon with over 30 years of experience. He studied at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana and the Universidade de São Paulo. As a member of the Colombian Society of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery, he has performed 3,000+ breast procedures. Dr. Tobón is a pioneer of the Preserve technique, which focuses on reducing tissue trauma.
Recovery and Aftercare
Both mammoplasty options are outpatient procedures, meaning patients return to their accommodation the same day. Most people return to normal daily activities within 2 to 8 days. Full healing generally takes between 4 and 6 weeks. Patients must wear a surgical bra during this period to support the results. The clinic provides a full year of post-operative monitoring and follow-up appointments to track the healing process.

Dr. Luis Guillermo Tobón – Plastic Surgery Clinic: more details about the clinic
Dr. Luis Guillermo Tobón – Plastic Surgery Clinic is a single-specialty private practice in Medellín, Colombia. The clinic focuses on aesthetic plastic surgery for international travelers. Dr. Tobón treats patients from the United States, Europe, and around the world.
Expertise and Professional Background
Dr. Luis Guillermo Tobón is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience. He graduated as a physician from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. He then specialized in plastic and aesthetic surgery at the University of São Paulo in Brazil. Dr. Tobón is a member of the Colombian Society of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery.
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.
Signature Breast Procedures
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:
- Discreet incisions made in the natural breast fold
- Gentle separation of tissue layers using specialized instruments
- Controlled creation of the implant pocket
- Placement of high-quality implants using a sterile funnel system
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.
Body Contouring and Sculpting
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:
- Lipoescultura – reducing fat in the abdomen, back, and limbs
- Abdominal etching – creating a "six-pack" appearance
- Gluteoplasty – using the patient's own fat to shape the buttocks
Liposuction recovery generally takes 2 to 4 weeks. For gluteoplasty, the surgeon provides a personal phone line for constant contact during healing.
Services for International Patients
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.
