Specialties and Advanced Procedures
The clinic offers surgical and non-surgical treatments across several key areas. Each plan starts with a detailed evaluation to select the best technique for the desired outcome.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
This department handles elective aesthetic enhancements and complex reconstructive work. Dr. Guarín performs various specialized surgeries:
- Biopolymer removal to treat complications from synthetic fillers.
- Breast explantation for the safe removal of existing implants.
- Mommy Makeover packages combining abdominoplasty, liposuction, and breast lifts.
- Rhinoplasty to modify the bridge, tip, or nostrils for a balanced profile.
- Gluteoplasty using either silicone implants or the patient's own fat.
- Reconstructive hand surgery and cleft lip or palate correction.
The surgical portfolio also includes eyelid surgery and facelifts to address signs of aging. Reconstructive work extends to maxillofacial surgery for functional and aesthetic correction.
Breast Surgery and Mammology
The practice offers several options for breast modification and post-mastectomy restoration. Patients can choose from different surgical approaches:
- Augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy (breast lift).
- Breast reconstruction using implants or the patient's own tissue flaps.
- Combined reconstructive methods after cancer treatment.
These procedures restore symmetry and volume while prioritizing patient safety. Modern protocols help manage recovery and achieve natural-looking results.
Aesthetic Medicine
For rejuvenation without surgery, the clinic offers several minimally invasive options. Treatments include Botox for expression lines and hyaluronic acid fillers for facial contouring. Most injectable treatments show results within a few days and last up to six months.
Technology and Recovery Tools
The clinic uses energy-based platforms to improve skin texture and speed healing. These technologies often accompany surgery to enhance the final result.
Plasmage is a plasma-based treatment for skin rejuvenation and correcting small imperfections. It stimulates collagen and elastin production without general anesthesia. The method is fast with minimal downtime.
Tensamax uses monopolar radiofrequency to deliver deep energy into skin tissue. This firms the skin and supports healthy cell growth. The Tensamax Recovery protocol shortens post-surgical recovery from months to just a few weeks.
Services for International Patients
The clinic supports patients traveling to Cali from other countries. While the team primarily treats local patients, they coordinate care for international visitors seeking Colombian plastic surgery.
