Doctor Carlos López

Dr. Carlos López operates a private aesthetic surgery practice in Bogotá, Colombia. The clinic provides a focused range of plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine services. Dr. Carlos López leads the practice as the sole specialist. He earned his medical degree from the National University of Colombia. He completed his specialization in plastic surgery at San Juan de Dios Hospital.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

The clinic performs surgical procedures for facial, breast, and body refinement. Facial options include rhinoplasty to correct nasal obstructions and otoplasty for prominent ears. Blepharoplasty rejuvenates the eye area. Mini facelifts and endoscopic techniques achieve facial contouring.

Body contouring services include several procedures:

• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) with pre-op incision planning
• Liposuction and laser-assisted lipoplastia
• Gluteoplasty using implants to increase volume
• Liposculpture for love handles and back fat

Breast surgeries cover augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy. Augmentation uses biocompatible silicone gel, saline, or hydrogel implants. Patients needing reduction may stay in the hospital for one day. Dr. López evaluates general health and performs measurements before any surgery.

Hair Restoration and Microsurgery

The clinic treats androgenetic alopecia using advanced microsurgery. The team performs autotransplant follicular surgery to restore hair growth. Specialists use micro-surgery instruments under high magnification. This involves microscopes and magnifying lenses for precise graft placement.

Recovery for hair transplant patients is typically rapid. Most individuals return to work within four days. Post-operative care involves specific scalp washing protocols from the third day. The clinic provides lubricating oils to manage crusting during healing. Patients must avoid intense physical activity for three days.

Aesthetic Medicine and Laser Treatments

Minimally invasive options are available for skin rejuvenation. The clinic uses Erbium and CO2 laser wavelengths. These sessions address wrinkles, expression lines, and stretch marks. Both ablative and non-ablative settings suit different skin needs. Recovery is minimal, and no surgery is required.

The practice also offers common in-office cosmetic procedures:

• BOTOX® injections for forehead and facial wrinkles
• Hyaluronic acid fillers for volume restoration
• Chemical peeling using alpha-hydroxy acids
• Dermoabrasion and laser resurfacing

These treatments work as standalone options or complements to surgery.

Technology and Equipment

Diagnostic and treatment tools support precision and safety. The clinic uses specialized laser platforms with variable energy and fractionation. For microsurgical procedures, Dr. López uses surgical magnification lenses. This equipment ensures accuracy during follicular unit implantation and tissue transplants.

Safety Protocols and Patient Services

Patient safety starts with a thorough preoperative assessment. Dr. López evaluates allergies and general health during the first consultation. Patients must stop aspirin-containing medications one week before surgery. Smoking must cease two weeks prior to support wound healing. The clinic provides specific fajas (compression garments) for post-op management.

Staff members communicate with patients in English and Spanish. The clinic provides detailed recovery timelines for each procedure. Liposuction patients often return to work in three days. Abdominoplasty drains are typically removed on the fourth day. These structured protocols help manage expectations and reduce surgical risks.
