clinic Isis

Clinic Isis is a private multi-specialty medical center in Medellín, Colombia. It opened in 2010. Dr. Denys Arteaga founded it as an integrated health provider (IPS). Today, the clinic combines functional medicine with aesthetic and reconstructive care under one roof.

Key Facts and Safety Standards

Clinic Isis reports over 14 years of experience with 8,800 successful outpatient procedures. In that time, it recorded zero severe complications and zero deaths. A formal patient safety program supports these results. Patients also get continuous follow-up before and after surgery.

The facility holds ISO 9001 certification for the quality of its clinical processes. The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) lists it as an accredited facility. This means the clinic follows international protocols for surgical safety and administration.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

The plastic surgery department focuses on functional and aesthetic body contouring. Surgeons perform several outpatient procedures:

• Lipoescultura with thin cannulas to remove stubborn fat deposits
• Gluteal lipotransfer, which reuses purified fat to add volume
• Breast augmentation and implant replacement surgery
• Facial plastic surgeries, including rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to restore the shape of the abdomen

Before any procedure, patients join a pre-assessment video call. This lets specialists give a presumptive diagnosis before the patient travels. For breast surgery, the clinic uses only implants approved by international health agencies. That way, patients get implants with proven long-term biocompatibility.

Specialized Dentistry and Maxillofacial Care

The dental division treats adults and children. Services range from preventive care to complex oral rehabilitation. Dentists use specialized methods for several conditions:

• Endodontics – root canal treatment for infected teeth
• Oral rehabilitation with zirconium crowns and dentures
• Periodontics to treat and prevent gum disease (periodontitis)
• Smile Microdesign for minimally invasive aesthetic corrections
• Orthognathic surgery to correct jaw alignment

Pediatric dentistry (Odontopediatría) focuses on children's oral health and prevention. Maxillofacial surgery is part of the same department and handles reconstructive cases. So patients get coordinated care for both bite problems and aesthetic concerns.

Advanced Medical Technologies

The clinic uses specialized platforms for non-surgical rejuvenation and body monitoring. Ultherapy PRIME uses microfocused ultrasound to boost natural collagen in deep skin layers. This lifts and tightens the skin without damaging the surface. For gradual gains in skin texture and volume, doctors use Sculptra collagen biostimulation.

To monitor patients, the clinic uses Visbody body scanning technology. It gives a 3D analysis of body composition and posture. Nutritionists and surgeons rely on it to track changes during weight loss or recovery after surgery. Because the scans are digital, progress is measured with high accuracy.

Services for International Patients

The dedicated "Turismo en salud" program supports patients who travel to Medellín for treatment. It provides a single, integrated itinerary to make medical travel simpler. International patients with the Isis Gold card get an extra level of coordinated care.

Visitors can use several logistics services:

• Online video consultations for first medical evaluations
• Personalized reception at José María Cordova International Airport
• Private transfers from the airport to local accommodations
• Help with planning tourist routes and hiring guides in Medellín
• Surgical insurance policies for extra protection during treatment

The clinic accepts most major dental insurance plans for billing. Every international patient starts with a digital budget and confirmed travel dates. This helps patients plan their recovery stages, which usually last 15 to 25 days.
