Dr. Juan Luis Arminio (ARIA Health & Aesthetics)

Dr. Juan Luis Arminio (ARIA Health & Aesthetics) is a private plastic surgery practice in Bogotá, Colombia. Established in 2026, the clinic focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Dr. Arminio leads the practice with over 10 years of experience in surgical planning and patient care.

Accreditations and Memberships

Dr. Arminio is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery (SCCP). He attends international meetings, such as the SAPS All-In Meeting, to stay current on safety protocols. The clinic also contributes to medical literature, with research recently prepared for the national plastic surgery journal.

Body Contouring and Liposuction

The practice performs high-definition body sculpting using ultrasound technology. VASER liposuction emulsifies fat cells before extraction. This reduces tissue trauma and improves contour definition. The method works well for abdominal marking in patients with stable body composition.

For patients with significant skin laxity, the clinic offers several options:

• Post-bariatric abdominoplasty including abdominal wall reconstruction
• Lipoabdominoplasty with umbilical repositioning
• BodyTite – radiofrequency-assisted skin tightening without open surgery
• Mini-invasive "lipopapada" for chin and jawline contouring

Recovery for BodyTite procedures is relatively fast. Most patients return to normal activities within 5 to 7 days while wearing a compression garment.

Breast and Facial Surgery

Dr. Arminio handles complex breast cases, including gigantomastia and secondary mammaplasty. In documented cases of massive breast reduction, he has removed over 3 kg of tissue while repositioning the nipple-areola complex. The clinic also performs breast implant explantation using T-inverted mastopexy and fat grafting for a natural shape.

Facial rejuvenation combines surgical techniques with laser energy. 4-eyelid blepharoplasty addresses skin laxity and fat bags in a single procedure. Rhinoplasty uses ultrasonic tools for precise bone reshaping. The clinic also offers pediatric otoplasty for children aged 5 to 7 to correct ear prominence.

Technological Capabilities

The clinic uses digital tools to help patients visualize surgical outcomes. Crisalix 3D simulation creates a preview of expected results during the initial consultation. This helps align patient goals with surgical planning.

Advanced energy-based platforms are used for skin resurfacing and collagen stimulation:

• Morpheus 8 – micro-needling with radiofrequency for deep tissue remodeling
• Fractional CO2 laser for scar management and rejuvenation around the eyes
• FaceTite for jawline contouring and neck tightening

Laser treatments for scar improvement typically begin 8 to 12 weeks after surgery. This timing helps optimize healing.

Services for International Patients

The clinic treats patients from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Latin America. Coordination includes virtual pre-evaluations and surgical agenda planning. English and Spanish-speaking coordinators manage communications and post-operative follow-up. Selected surgical cases include sueroterapia – an intravenous hydration and vitamin protocol to support recovery during the first few days.
