Операція зі зміни статі в Centro Quirúrgico de la Belleza (CQB)

Centro Quirúrgico de la Belleza (CQB) is a private plastic surgery and aesthetic clinic in Cali, Colombia. It opened in 1992. Surgery, hospital stays, and recovery all take place in one building. Its medical team includes 28 doctors, with 62 staff members in total.

Accreditations and Professional Standards

CQB has held ISO 9001 certification since 2005. This quality framework covers nine core processes, including patient identification and reducing infection risk. Specialists at the clinic belong to several international medical organizations:

• International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS)
• American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
• Ibero-Latin American Federation of Plastic Surgery (FILACP)
• Colombian Society of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery

Staff surgeons have completed clinical fellowships and specialized training. Their training institutions include the University of Toronto and the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

CQB focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures for the face and body. For body contouring, surgeons use several methods:

• Liposculpture to remove fat and improve body shape
• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to repair abdominal skin and muscles
• Breast augmentation mammoplasty
• Abdominal marking

Facial procedures include blepharoplasty, which corrects excess eyelid skin. Bichectomía removes cheek fat pads to give the face a more defined shape. Surgeons also perform cervicoplasty and lipofacial treatments. For the nose, patients can choose traditional rhinoplasty or non-surgical rhinomodeling.

Urology and Gender-Affirming Care

Dr. Christian Yepes Hernández leads the urology department. He completed fellowships in genitourinary reconstructive surgery in Serbia and India. His department offers specialized urologic and reconstructive procedures:

• Gender-affirming genital surgeries, including vaginoplasty
• Penile enlargement surgery
• Urogenital reconstructive surgery
• Kidney diagnostics and urological examinations

Gender-affirming treatments for international patients aim for both functional comfort and aesthetic results. Urology consultations rely on blood counts and urine analysis from the on-site clinical laboratory.

Post-Operative Recovery Infrastructure

The facility has 7 modern operating rooms and 8 monitored hospital rooms. After discharge from the surgical unit, patients can move to the CQB Recovery Hotel in the same building. It offers standard rooms and suites for up to three people.

Doctors and nursing auxiliaries are on call 24/7 during recovery. Patients can use several post-surgical therapies to help healing:

• Lymphatic drainage massages
• Radiofrequency treatments
• Hyperbaric chamber therapy

These therapies aim to reduce swelling and help tissue recover after liposuction or reconstructive surgery. The FiguraLatina treatment package combines them with the surgery itself and an on-site stay.

Support Services for International Patients

For international patients, this means surgery and recovery happen under one roof. Since CQB runs its own clinical laboratory, pre-operative test results come back quickly. Before surgery, patients must follow specific rules. For example, they need to avoid alcohol and tobacco for at least two weeks beforehand.
