Body Contouring and Shaping
The clinic performs advanced body contouring using high-tech liposculpture and tummy tucks. Surgeons use the Vaser ultrasonic system to define muscle and speed recovery. For uniform skin results, the practice uses the MicroAire assisted liposuction system.
Patients seeking abdominal marking can expect a recovery period of 3–5 days. Those undergoing a tummy tuck typically need 5–7 days of relative incapacity. The technique involves removing excess skin between the navel and the pubis.
Gluteal augmentation is available through two distinct methods:
- Fat injection (Brazilian Butt Lift)
- Gluteal implants
Post-operative care for body procedures includes avoiding heavy lifting. Patients must follow specific activity restrictions to protect surgical scars during initial healing.
Facial and Breast Procedures
Facial surgery options include facelifts, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and otoplasty (ear surgery). Rhinoplasty uses a closed technique. This places incisions inside the nostrils, so no visible scars remain on the face.
Breast surgeries cover augmentation, lifts, and reductions. The clinic also performs explantation – the surgical removal of breast implants. For augmentations, the practice uses Motiva implants, including the Ergonomix line for a natural feel.
Breast surgery recovery usually involves 3–5 days of relative incapacity. Patients wear a surgical bra to maintain implant position. This also helps reduce swelling during the first few weeks of healing.
Advanced Surgical Technology
The clinic uses several specialized platforms to improve surgical precision:
- BodyTite – radiofrequency technology for non-excisional skin tightening
- Vaser – ultrasound energy to emulsify fat before removal
- MicroAire – power-assisted technology for smooth fat extraction
These tools allow high-definition results with less trauma to surrounding tissue. They also help achieve better skin retraction and more athletic body profiles.
Services for International Patients
The practice provides a structured medical tourism workflow for patients traveling to Bogotá. The process begins with a virtual assessment to evaluate the patient's case remotely. After this evaluation, the clinic provides a surgery budget and detailed logistical planning.
The coordination team manages travel details and trip logistics for the visit to Colombia. Online consultations answer all pre-operative questions before the patient arrives at the clinic.
