Specialized Biopolymer Removal
The clinic focuses on reconstructive extraction of biopolymers. Dr. Mariño uses a patented instrumental system called "punzones" for these procedures. This technique relies on small incisions – often just 1 centimeter long – rather than standard liposuction cannulas. It allows removal of large volumes of injected substances and damaged tissue.
Documented outcomes for biopolymer removal include:
- Up to 90% extraction in the buttocks, hips, and lower back
- Cases involving removal of 3 to 7 liters of substances
- Long-term monitoring with follow-ups exceeding one year
- Extraction of up to 11 kilograms of combined substance and tissue
Patients receive structured recovery guidance for the complex healing process. International patients should remain in Bogotá for at least one week after surgery. This ensures proper monitoring during initial recovery.
Aesthetic Surgery and Medicine
The practice offers a full range of cosmetic procedures for the face and body. Facial services include ritidoplastia (facelift), blepharoplasty for eyelid rejuvenation, and rhinoplasty.
Body contouring options include:
- Breast augmentation with silicone implants
- Pectoral implants for men
- Gynecomastia correction
- Pseudogynecomastia treatment through tailored surgical plans
Non-surgical aesthetic treatments complement surgical results or provide standalone rejuvenation:
- Botulinum toxin type A for forehead, eye, and neck lines
- Carboxitherapy using subcutaneous CO2 injections
- Deep facial cleansing and hydration treatments
- Mesotherapy and high-power radiofrequency for skin firming
Shockwave therapy and ultrasound soften hard tissue masses before surgery. These technologies also aid post-operative recovery and improve skin texture.
Technology and Diagnostics
The clinic uses advanced imaging to plan and verify surgical results. Color tomography (CT scans) provides detailed comparisons of tissue before and after treatment. These scans let the surgeon precisely map biopolymer locations. They also confirm extraction percentages at one-year check-ins. The diagnostic suite includes dermatoscopy for detailed skin evaluations.
Services for International Patients
The "for Extranjeros" service supports patients traveling to Bogotá for care. Logistics coordination includes airport transportation and help with accommodation – furnished apartments or local hotels. Dedicated assistants and nursing staff provide support during recovery. Once medically cleared for light activity, patients can arrange optional city visits.
