Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
The practice covers aesthetic procedures for the face, breast, and body. Dr. Galiano performs rhinoplasty using open, closed, or structural methods. These techniques address both cosmetic shape and breathing function.
Facial rejuvenation treatments include the facelift (ritidoplastia) to reposition skin and muscle. These surgeries typically last 3 to 6 hours under general anesthesia. Recovery involves a hospital stay of 1 to 3 days. The surgeon also performs abdominoplasty to remove excess tissue and tighten abdominal muscles.
Reconstructive services address complex medical needs across several areas:
- Immediate or delayed breast reconstruction after mastectomy
- Reconstruction of congenital defects including cleft lip and palate
- Treatment for burn injuries and skin tumor excision
- Correction of hand deformities and microtia (underdeveloped ear)
Body sculpting is available through ultrasound-assisted liposuction and fat transfer. Dr. Galiano uses lipotransfer to move the patient's own fat to the face or other body regions.
Aesthetic Medicine and Safety Protocols
Non-surgical options are available on an outpatient basis. The clinic provides hyaluronic acid fillers to modify facial contours and add volume. Results typically last 8 to 12 months. Specialists also perform chemical and mechanical peels to improve skin texture.
Patient safety follows a 5-point technical safety checklist. This protocol requires active ReTHUS validation to confirm the doctor's surgical specialty. Every surgery must occur in an authorized medium or high-complexity hospital. Doctors conduct in-person exams – no diagnoses without physical assessment.
The clinic uses Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for skin and scalp rejuvenation. This process draws growth factors from the patient's own blood. Results typically develop over multiple sessions spaced every 3 months.
Services for International Patients
The practice supports international patients through virtual consultations and remote evaluation. This allows patients from anywhere to receive a preliminary assessment. The surgeon leads a structured post-operative plan throughout recovery. Support is available via WhatsApp for scheduling and follow-up care. All procedures requiring hospital management are performed in Medellín's accredited surgical facilities.
