Dr. Harold Villalobos – Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery

Dr. Harold Villalobos – Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery is a single-doctor practice in Cali, Colombia. It focuses on surgical and non-surgical body restoration and facial enhancement. The practice has its own facility at the World Trade Center-Pacific Mall.

Medical Team and Expertise

Dr. Harold Villalobos has nearly 20 years of experience. He leads the planning and execution of every surgery. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the Sociedad Colombiana de Cirugía Plástica (SCCP). The Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery also certifies him.

Dr. Villalobos completed his surgical training in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He studied at the Carlos Chagas Post-Graduate Institute and the Fluminense Federal University. Since he attends every post-surgical checkup personally, patients see the same doctor from start to finish.

An anesthesiologist on the team monitors patients before, during, and after every procedure. This keeps patients protected through the whole surgical process.

Surgical Specialties and Methods

The practice treats patients seeking breast surgery, body contouring, and facial reconstruction. Dr. Villalobos specializes in several key areas:

• Breast Surgery: Procedures include augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy (breast lift). Dr. Villalobos uses a drainless technique for more comfort. He makes periareolar incisions around the areola, so scars stay on the areola only.
• Abdominoplasty: This procedure corrects abdominal wall issues like diastasis recti and selected hernias. Incisions are planned to stay hidden under swimwear.
• Liposculpture: Dr. Villalobos performs "Lipo 360" for balanced body shaping. With strategic fat removal, this method can bring out the muscles underneath.
• Maxillofacial Surgery: This specialty fixes bone and functional defects. It treats conditions such as a short chin, prominent chin, or short jaw.
• Rhinoplasty: The clinic offers both surgical and non-surgical nose correction. Each plan accounts for ethnic features and breathing function.

Mommy makeover programs are available too. They combine several surgeries to restore the body after pregnancy or major weight loss.

Advanced Technologies

The clinic uses specific platforms to improve results and shorten recovery. Key technology includes:

• J Plasma (Renuvion): A plasma beam generated from medical-grade helium. During liposuction, it tightens skin tissue by up to 60%.
• Neo-umbilicoplasty: A specialized technique used during tummy tucks. It creates a natural-looking, deep belly button.
• Bio-stimulatory Fillers: Minimally invasive materials for facial wrinkles and asymmetries. Results are immediate.

These technologies allow smaller incisions. In some cases, they remove the need for traditional skin removal surgery.

International Patient Services

International travelers can choose a structured program called the Plan Especial. It handles all logistics, so patients can focus on recovery.

Support for travelers includes several coordinated services:

• Airport pickup and local transportation to all checkups
• Accommodation and meals, including laundry service
• 24-hour at-home nursing care during the first days after surgery
• Pre-surgical lab tests and anesthesiologist evaluation
• Post-operative lymphatic drainage massages

The process begins with a virtual assessment for surgical planning. Patient coordinators speak both English and Spanish.

Every surgical package includes medical insurance and the necessary post-surgical garments. This means patients are covered from arrival through final follow-up.
