Dr. Julián Trujillo is a private facial plastic surgery clinic in Cali, Colombia. It opened in 1995 and focuses on surgery that balances aesthetic refinement with healthy facial function. This single-specialty clinic is built around the work of its founder, Dr. Julián Trujillo Piedrahita.
Key Facts and Achievements
The clinic has managed over 10,000 facial cases, including surgeries and clinical follow-ups. Dr. Trujillo has over 30 years of surgical experience, all of it focused on the face. He has been a Full Member of the Colombian Society of Facial Plastic Surgery and Rhinology (SCCPFR) since 1999.
Recognitions and professional milestones include:
- Honorary Member of the Colombian Academy of Reconstructive and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

- Specialist in Facial Plastic Surgery from Universidad CES in Medellín
- Guest speaker at the Rinos sin Fronteras international workshop in Paraguay
Patients come from the United States, Europe, Spain, and Latin America. The clinic limits surgical dates and books them in advance, so each patient gets personal long-term follow-up.
Specialties and Procedures
Care covers two main areas: Facial Plastic Surgery and Otorhinolaryngology (ENT). Because of this dual focus, the surgeon can fix structural breathing problems while making aesthetic changes.
Facial Rejuvenation
The clinic's signature procedure is the Deep Plane Facelift. Dr. Trujillo has performed it since 1995. This technique repositions deeper tissue layers instead of just pulling the skin, so results last longer. Full rejuvenation plans often combine several techniques:
- Midface lifts to restore cheek and under-eye volume
- Neck lifts to define the jawline and remove jowls
- Brow and forehead lifts to open the upper face
- Autologous fat grafting to restore natural volume with the patient's own tissue
Recovery happens in planned stages. Patients rest and wear compression during the first week. By the third week, they gradually return to social activities.
Rhinoplasty (Nose Surgery)
Surgeons perform cosmetic and reconstructive rhinoplasty for both women and men. Each plan aims to preserve or improve breathing. At the same time, the surgeon reshapes the bridge, tip, or width of the nose. For men, the team uses specific proportions so the result looks natural and suits a masculine face.
The clinic specializes in Revision Rhinoplasty for patients who want to correct results from earlier surgeries. Before planning a retouch, the team reviews previous surgical reports and medical history in detail.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
For lower eyelid rejuvenation, the clinic uses the transconjunctival technique. The surgeon removes or redistributes fat bags from inside the eyelid. Because the incision is internal, patients have no visible scars afterward.
Services for International Patients
The clinic takes an active role in coordinating trips to Colombia. It all starts with a remote video consultation to review the patient's goals and medical history. After the consultation, the team sends a written plan with surgery dates and the recommended length of stay.
International support services include:
- Coordination of recovery houses and local accommodation in Cali
- Nursing support during the first days after surgery
- Airport transfers and transport between the clinic and accommodation
- Scheduled follow-up reviews via video after the patient returns home
The team also guides patients on aftercare logistics. This helps them manage the first hours and days of recovery in a new city.
