Facial Plastic Surgery and Rejuvenation

The clinic offers seven facial surgeries. These address aging, tissue laxity, and structural concerns. Each treatment plan is designed after an individual consultation.

Surgical options include:

• Facelift (rhytidectomy) – endoscopic and mini-facelift techniques
• Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) – corrects sagging or puffiness
• Cervicoplasty (neck surgery) and Frontoplastia (eyebrow lifting)
• Otoplasty (ear surgery) and Mentoplasty (chin surgery)
• Queiloplastia (lip surgery) and craniofacial contouring

Eyelid surgery patients typically recover in 3–5 days. Swelling usually subsides within 8–15 days.

Rhinoplasty and Nasal Function

Rhinoplasty at the clinic addresses both appearance and breathing. Aesthetic goals often include reshaping the nasal bridge, tip, or width. Functional surgeries treat nasal obstructions, septal perforations, sinusitis, and rhinitis.

Surgeons perform aesthetic, functional, and primary rhinoplasty. Male rhinoplasty is a specific focus area. A typical nose job takes about 3 hours. Patients usually rest for 1–3 days, then resume normal activities within 5–8 days.

Final rhinoplasty results appear after 6 months. Patients with thick skin may need up to 1 year to see definitive changes. Minors require both parents to sign authorization forms before surgery.

Facial Implants

The clinic uses silastic implants to adjust facial volume and balance. These come in various sizes and shapes for different facial structures. They are biocompatible and can be fully removed if needed.

Areas for volume enhancement include:

• Malar implants – increase cheek projection
• Chin and jawline contouring
• Premaxillary and paranasal implants – central face
• Nasolabial and nasofrontal angle adjustments

Surgeons place malar implants through incisions inside the mouth, so there are no visible scars. Paranasal and premaxillary implants go in through the canine fossa or under the nose.

Clinical Facilities and International Services

The facility has a clinical laboratory, sterilization unit, and biomedical engineering department. Patients can get surgical medications through IG Pharma, a specialized pharmacy service.

For comfort, the clinic has a boutique-style hospitalization unit. International patients receive help planning travel and their surgical schedule. The clinic recommends arriving in Medellín 2–3 days before surgery. Postoperative guidance helps patients manage recovery while abroad.
