María Alejandra Rojas, Plastic surgeon

With a personalized medical assessment and continuous postoperative monitoring, María Alejandra Rojas helps patients move from planning to recovery with safety at the center of every decision. As a specialist at Dr. María Alejandra Rojas Montenegro in Medellín, she works across plastic, reconstructive, maxillofacial, and hand surgery, tailoring each plan to anatomy and expectations. Her approach is specifically oriented to whether a procedure is suitable and safe, including careful evaluation of conditions that may require postponing surgery until health is controlled. At the clinic, the surgical pathway is described as complete and structured: detailed pre-surgical evaluations, strict operating-room protocols with certified equipment, continuous monitoring during surgery, and guided recovery with close support. The clinic also emphasizes that some medical conditions—such as uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, active smoking, anemia, and severe obesity—can increase risks and may influence whether surgery proceeds.

Clinical focus and techniques

Her procedure menu spans facial, breast, body contouring, and reconstructive surgery, with an emphasis on natural, proportionate results and individualized planning.

• Liposuction — designed to eliminate localized fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, waist, back, thighs, or arms.
• Gluteal lipoinjection (when combined with liposuction) — extracted fat is processed to add volume and projection to the buttocks.
• Breast augmentation with silicone implants — personalized implant size, shape/profile, implant type, and suitable location are defined during evaluation.
• Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without implants — used to correct sagging (ptosis) by lifting and reshaping the breasts.
• Explantation (safe implant removal) — breast implants are removed for personal or medical reasons, rupture, or complications; can be combined with mastopexy.
• Rhinoplasty — includes aesthetic and functional nose surgery to improve breathing when internal alterations hinder airflow.
• Ultrasonic rhinoplasty — offered as an advanced technique for greater precision in bone reshaping.
• Blepharoplasty — eyelid surgery that removes excess skin and fat deposits to refresh the eyes and can improve the field of vision when limited.
• Frontoplasty — offered as part of facial procedures.
• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) — removes excess skin and fat, strengthens abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), and can be combined with liposuction.
