Dr. Carlos Betancur, Plastic surgeon

With more than 11 years focused on Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Carlos Betancur’s practice in Medellín is built around restoring facial harmony and reshaping the body with procedures designed for natural-looking results. At the Torre doctor El Tesoro, he works across facial surgery such as blepharoplasty, facelift, mentoplasty, and rhinoplasty, and across body contouring including tummy tuck and liposculpture. The clinic also supports patients with selected non-surgical options, including Botox and hyaluronic acid for facial rejuvenation. For international patients, the key advantage is a single, consistent surgical pathway—consultation, procedure planning, and postoperative guidance—centered on the surgeon’s own technique.
