Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

The clinic performs a wide variety of facial, body, and breast procedures:

• Rhinoplasty – Personalized nose surgery to define the tip or adjust the dorsal projection.
• Blepharoplasty – Outpatient surgery for upper and lower eyelids to remove excess fat and skin.
• Breast Surgery – Options include augmentation with implants, fat transfer, and complex implant explantation.

For reconstructive needs, the clinic offers auricular and eyelid reconstruction. These procedures restore both appearance and function. Every surgical plan starts with a medical assessment to discuss specific risks and benefits. Patients receive continuous support before, during, and after their procedures.

Aesthetic Medicine and Skin Care

The practice provides non-surgical treatments to improve skin texture and manage expression lines. SkinPen microneedling stimulates natural collagen and elastin production. This FDA-approved treatment addresses acne scars, fine lines, and enlarged pores. The clinic typically recommends 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart.

Botox injections smooth expression lines and prevent them from deepening. Effects typically begin within 3 to 5 days and peak at 2 weeks. The clinic also runs a structured program for wound monitoring and scar improvement during the first year.

Technology and Equipment

The clinic uses the SkinPen microneedling platform for skin remodeling and scar treatment. This device is the first FDA-cleared microneedling system for treating facial acne scars. For skin balance, the practice offers BIOJUVE therapies that support the skin microbiota. All surgical procedures are planned using clinical history and photographic analysis during consultation.

Services for International Patients

The Patients Abroad program supports international travelers through every stage of care. Patients can start with a virtual consultation to establish a treatment plan before traveling. This process includes a review of medical history and photos for remote assessment. The clinic then confirms all final surgical plans through in-person visits in Cali. The team coordinates recovery and postoperative follow-up directly.
