Lipofilling (Fat Grafting) in Dr. Mauricio Serrano (Cirujano Plástico)

About the clinic

Lipofilling, also known as fat grafting, at the clinic of Dr. Mauricio Serrano in Bogotá, Colombia, provides a natural way to enhance body volume. This procedure uses your own fat to reshape areas like the buttocks or face. Dr. Serrano is a specialist with over 20 years of experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery.

The Lipofilling Procedure

The surgery typically takes 1 to 2 hours to complete. It begins with liposuction to remove excess fat from the abdomen or thighs. This fat is then purified and injected into the target area to add volume. The doctor performs this under general anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable. Patients do not usually need to stay in the hospital overnight.

Advanced Planning and Technology

The clinic uses Crisalix 3D simulation technology. This tool creates a 3D model of your body. It shows how the final results might look before you ever enter the operating room. This helps you and the doctor agree on the desired shape. After surgery, the clinic provides ContourPRO care to help with the healing process.

Recovery and Results

Recovery generally takes about 15 days. During this time, you should avoid heavy physical activity. The injected fat needs time to settle into its new location. You will see the final, stable results after about 3 months. Since the procedure uses your own tissue, the risk of an allergic reaction is very low.

Support for International Patients

The clinic offers a program called Med Journey for people traveling from abroad. This service helps organize the entire trip for medical care. It includes several features to make the stay easier:

Virtual consultations before you travel to Bogotá
Airport and clinic transportation
Stays in luxury housing
Home nursing care during the initial recovery period

Expertise and Credentials

Dr. Mauricio Serrano is a board-certified plastic surgeon. He is an active member of the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery. This membership indicates that he follows high standards for safety and ethics. He has spent over 20 years practicing plastic surgery in Colombia.

Dr. Mauricio Serrano (Cirujano Plástico): more details about the clinic

Colombia, Bogota

Dr. Mauricio Serrano leads a private plastic surgery practice in Bogotá, Colombia. Established in 1999, the clinic specializes in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures for the face and body. The medical team consists of two specialists who provide surgical and non-surgical treatments for local and international patients.

Experience and Accreditations

Dr. Mauricio Serrano has over 24 years of experience in plastic surgery. He is a member of the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery. For more than 22 years, he has volunteered with Operation Smile Colombia. The practice is fully certified and meets Colombian plastic surgery standards.

Surgical and Aesthetic Specialties

The clinic offers a range of facial and body contouring procedures. Each patient receives a personalized assessment to determine the best surgical approach.

Facial and Body Procedures

Facial surgeries address both aesthetic goals and functional concerns. Dr. Serrano performs several key procedures:

Rhinoplasty and secondary rhinoplasty
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty
Otoplasty – ear surgery
Bichectomy – cheek fat removal

Body contouring helps patients achieve a specific masculine or feminine silhouette. The clinic offers several major surgeries:

Abdominoplasty and mini-tummy tuck
Lipoabdominoplasty – combined tummy tuck and liposuction
Vaser liposuction and liposculpture
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) using fat transfer
Gluteoplasty using silicone implants

Most gluteoplasty procedures take 1–2 hours under general anesthesia. Recovery requires about 15 days, and results typically stabilize after 3 months.

Aesthetic Gynecology and Men's Health

The practice has a specialized program for female intimate surgery. Dr. Angela Escobar, an aesthetic gynecologist with 24 years of experience, works alongside Dr. Serrano. Together, they use a "2 for 1" approach that addresses both aesthetic appearance and pelvic floor function. Procedures include labiaplasty and vaginal wall restoration.

For male patients, the clinic treats gynecomastia (enlarged breast tissue). Dr. Serrano uses liposuction or endoscopic techniques to reduce breast size. Surgery takes 1–2 hours and requires about one week of rest.

Advanced Technologies

The clinic uses specialized platforms to improve treatment accuracy and patient comfort. These support both planning and recovery:

Crisalix 3D – shows possible surgical outcomes through 3D visualization before the procedure.
ContourPRO – non-surgical support that reduces inflammation and prevents tissue scarring during recovery.
Musculptech – uses electromagnetic stimulation to trigger thousands of muscle contractions in one session.
VeLux – laser hair removal technology designed for faster, more precise results.

Crisalix is especially useful for secondary rhinoplasty patients. It helps set realistic expectations for reconstruction.

Services for International Patients

The clinic welcomes hundreds of international travelers each year. A structured "Med Journey" covers the entire care process – from first contact to returning home.

International support services include:

Initial virtual consultations
Airport and clinic transportation planning
Luxury Airbnb or hotel coordination
Home nursing care at the patient's accommodation
Virtual follow-up appointments after departure

Dr. Mauricio Serrano is fluent in English, so he communicates directly with patients during consultations. The team provides 30-day scar care guidance and professional follow-up to support safe healing.

My experience with Dr. Serrano, María, and the entire staff was beyond anything I could have imagined. From beginning to end, I felt genuinely cared for, understood, and treated as an individual. Dr. Serrano is truly an angel. He does not treat every patient the same or take a one-size-fits-all approach. He takes the time to understand each person, listens carefully, adjusts to your individual needs, and gives you very personal attention. He is gentle, soft-spoken, patient, and incredibly kind, but he is also honest and will always tell you the truth about what you need and what is best for you. He is not the typical surgeon who rushes through appointments, takes your money, performs the surgery, and calls it a day. He genuinely cares about his patients and takes his time with you. His surgeries are truly like works of art. This was my second surgery. I went to Dr. Serrano because I needed him to correct things that had been left wrong from my first surgery with another surgeon. Not only did he do an AMAZING job correcting those issues, but in a way, he also helped heal me emotionally from that first experience. That means more to me than I can explain. Beyond being an exceptional surgeon, Dr. Serrano is simply one of the sweetest human beings. He is like a big teddy bear with a huge heart. ❤️ The accommodations were also five-star. I stayed in the Airbnb he owns directly across the street from the clinic, and it was perfect — adorable, comfortable, clean, and incredibly convenient during recovery. Being able to simply walk across the street for appointments and treatments gave me so much peace of mind. Dr. Serrano also checked on me personally, especially in the beginning, to make sure everything was going well at the Airbnb. And then there is María! ❤️ She handled my postoperative massages and treatments, and she is exceptional at what she does. The treatments use very gentle technology along with light manual massage to help reduce inflammation and swelling. There was absolutely no need for aggressive or painful massages. María knows exactly what she is doing, and I could see and feel the results. She is caring, knowledgeable, patient, funny, and always tried to work around my schedule. She made a part of recovery that could have been stressful feel comfortable and easy. The entire staff treated me with kindness and care throughout the month I was here. After spending so much time with everyone, it honestly feels emotional to leave Colombia and say goodbye to Dr. Serrano, María, and the team. I will truly miss all of you — and I will even miss my little Airbnb across the street! 😊 If I ever need anything in the future, I would absolutely come back to Dr. Serrano without hesitation. I will also recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone considering surgery. Finding a talented surgeon is important, but finding one who combines skill, honesty, compassion, patience, and genuine care is something very special. Thank you, Dr. Serrano, María, and the entire staff, for everything you did for me. I appreciate each and every one of you more than you know. Hugs and kisses to everyone. ❤️ I know I will see you again in the future! 🙏💋🙌

I recommend Dr. Serrano 100%. From the assessment consultation, the care was transparent, detailed, and completely personalized. He resolved all my doubts and gave me a lot of confidence to take this step. The post-operative follow-up has been exceptional, and the results are incredible. In addition, the staff is also very attentive, polite, and humane.

An Exceptional Surgeon and an Exceptional Human Being Every so often, we meet someone whose excellence extends far beyond technical mastery. Dr. Serrano is one of those rare individuals. From my initial consultation through surgery and recovery, I experienced extraordinary care, professionalism, compassion, and integrity. His expertise in my upper and lower blepharoplasty and brow tail lift was exceptional, but what impressed me most was his unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. During surgery, he identified additional issues that were not anticipated in the original plan and took the time to address them, extending an already lengthy procedure because excellence—not convenience—guided his decisions. His dedication continued long after surgery. He personally monitored my recovery, made house calls, encouraged me to contact him whenever needed, and even arranged an ophthalmology consultation to provide additional reassurance when I had a concern. That level of accessibility, humility, and patient-centered care is extraordinarily rare. Dr. Serrano has also built an outstanding team. Every aspect of my experience—from coordinating pre-operative testing and transportation to the professionalism of his office and operating room staff—was seamless, efficient, and genuinely caring. After extensive research and careful consideration, choosing Dr. Serrano remains one of the best decisions I have ever made. He restored far more than my appearance—he gave me confidence, peace of mind, and an experience that exceeded every expectation. The finest physicians heal with their knowledge. The extraordinary ones also heal with their presence, humility, and unwavering commitment to their patients. Dr. Serrano embodies all of these qualities. It has been both a privilege and an honor to be his patient. I recommend him without reservation. Lauren, United States of America

I loved this place; the service was excellent from the very beginning. The doctor is very professional and my rhinoplasty turned out exactly the way I wanted. I’m very satisfied with the result. In addition, they were very clear and diligent in explaining the entire procedure, and they stayed attentive even afterward. Without a doubt, I highly recommend it. 10/10! ✨⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’m about to turn 65 and recently had a cervical facial lift along with a blepharoplasty with Dr. Mauricio. My experience was truly excellent from start to finish. Dr. Mauricio was very clear in explaining every step of the process and was incredibly caring throughout. Everything went smoothly, and while the surgery itself is understandably a significant procedure, it was exactly what I expected. I honestly have nothing to complain about. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering a facelift or wanting to improve the appearance of their neck. He clearly knows what he’s doing, and you can trust him completely. I’m very grateful for the care I received. thank you, Dr. Mauricio.

Excellent professionalism from Dr. Me. He explained the procedure clearly, answered all my questions before and after the surgery, and the follow-up was on time. You could tell from his experience and the care he took with me as a patient. The facilities are spotless, with modern equipment and visible safety protocols. The nursing staff was very attentive from admission to discharge. I felt safe at all times. Thank you to everyone on the team for your care, respect, and kindness.

Dr. Mauricio and his team have been attentive from our very first virtual consultation. He provided thoughtful recommendations and proved to be exceptional. Initially, I only planned to undergo a mentoplasty, but he suggested adding a rhinoplasty to achieve better facial balance. I had some doubts at first, but he took the time to talk with me and address all my concerns. Looking back, I can confidently say that choosing to do both procedures was the best decision. In my particular case, I also had significant internal nasal blockage that made it difficult to breathe, and Dr. Mauricio corrected that as well. I am extremely happy with the results and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone. He is not only a highly skilled plastic surgeon, but more importantly, a truly caring doctor who prioritizes your well-being and that makes all the difference.
