Facial and Body Plastic Surgery
Facial surgery focuses on achieving harmony and improving respiratory function. The team performs various rhinoplasty techniques, including open and closed methods. Septoplasty is also available to correct breathing issues.
Body contouring procedures follow a structured pathway from evaluation to long-term monitoring. Patients can access several surgical options:
- Complete and mini abdominoplasty for abdominal rejuvenation
- Post-bariatric surgery to remove excess skin after significant weight loss
- Liposuction and lipoescultura for localized fat removal and figure modeling
- Double chin and neck liposuction to refine the jawline and neck area
Breast surgery is another key focus. Specialists perform augmentation using implants or fat transfer. They also offer breast reduction to relieve physical discomfort from excess volume.
Specialized Pain Management Unit
The clinic operates a dedicated Pain Treatment Unit (UTD). This department provides complete care for patients with degenerative conditions and back pain. The team also manages complex oncologic-related pain.
UTD specialists stay active in the international scientific community. They participated in the 2024 International Pain Congress (ACED) to discuss modern treatment protocols. This unit allows the clinic to address both aesthetic goals and chronic physical conditions.
Surgical Safety and Recovery
Every surgery involves an individualized anesthesia plan. Anesthesiologists evaluate patients to select the safest intravenous or inhaled techniques. This approach reduces risks during and after the procedure.
Recovery is managed through scheduled follow-up appointments. The medical team provides specific guidance on expected physical changes as healing progresses. For body contouring, final results typically appear between months 3 and 6.
Services for International Patients
The clinic treats patients from various countries, including Australia. The team coordinates the entire care process for those traveling to Bogotá. This includes initial evaluation, the surgical procedure, and post-operative follow-up.
Patients can coordinate their journey and care details via WhatsApp. The clinic also provides information on financing options for different treatments. Follow-up care continues even after international patients return home.
