Facial and Body Aesthetic Surgery
The clinic offers a wide range of procedures to balance facial features and refine body shape. Facial surgery focuses on structure and rejuvenation:
- Rhinoplasty to reshape the nose for better balance and easier breathing
- Blepharoplasty to rejuvenate the eyelids
- Ritidoplasty (facelift) and neck lifts to tighten loose skin
- Facial Lipostructure to restore volume with the patient's own tissue
- Otoplasty to reshape the ears and Mentoplasty to enhance the chin
Body contouring removes excess tissue and defines muscles. Surgeons perform Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to remove loose skin and tighten the abdominal wall. If you want visible muscle definition, the clinic offers Lipomarcación. This liposuction technique highlights natural muscle contours.
Breast surgery options include augmentation, reduction, and Mastopexy (breast lift). For patients who want a natural look again, the clinic removes breast implants (explantation). Buttock enhancement uses specially designed prostheses. These add volume and improve projection.
Intimate aesthetic surgery is another specialized area. The clinic performs Nymphoplasty to reshape the labia minora. The goal is better physical comfort and appearance.
Equipment and Technologies
For advanced skin tightening, the clinic uses Renuvion (J-Plasma) technology. It combines radiofrequency energy with helium gas to create a stream of cold plasma. This boosts collagen production and tightens tissue precisely, so surgeons don't need large incisions.
Services for International Patients
The practice has a clear process for patients who travel from abroad for surgery. To help with planning, the clinic offers virtual evaluation appointments. This way, patients get a preliminary consultation and treatment plan before traveling to Colombia.
Coordination services cover travel planning and appointment scheduling. In-person evaluations take place at the Cali locations. A dedicated coordination team guides foreign patients from the first inquiry through treatment.
