Certifications and Expertise

Dr. Leonardo Rueda and Dr. Leonardo Correa lead the practice. Both trained at the Industrial University of Santander and El Bosque University. Dr. Rueda has over 15 years of experience in aesthetic surgery. He is a certified surgeon and member of the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery (SCCP).

Dr. Rueda participates in medical research and education. He has published articles in prominent medical journals. The surgical team discusses all potential risks with patients before procedures. These include scarring, anesthesia reactions, and implant-related concerns.

Body Contouring and Breast Surgery

The clinic specializes in advanced body sculpting. Surgeons use VASER, Microaire, and Retraction technologies for liposuction. These tools remove fat while supporting skin retraction. For patients with significant weight loss, the team performs lipectomy to remove excess tissue.

Breast procedures include augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy (breast lift). Augmentation is typically an outpatient procedure lasting about 2 hours. Surgeons use silicone gel implants to restore volume and shape. Most patients return to light activities within 7 days.

Male patients receive specialized care here as well. The clinic has performed over 500 successful male breast reduction surgeries for gynecomastia. This treatment combines VASER liposuction with subcutaneous mastectomy. The approach removes glandular tissue and reshapes the torso.

Facial Rejuvenation and Refinement

Facial procedures address both aesthetic goals and functional issues. Rhinoplasty adjusts nasal shape and can improve breathing. These surgeries typically last about 3 hours. The clinic also offers other facial procedures:

• Blepharoplasty – removes excess eyelid skin and fat
• Bichectomy – removes buccal fat pads to slim the cheeks
• Cervicoplasty – lifts and rejuvenates the neck area
• Frontoplasty – lifts the forehead and brow

Non-surgical options are available for patients who prefer less invasive rejuvenation. These include botulinum toxin injections and dermal fillers. The clinic uses brands like HArmonyCa and Radiesse for facial contouring.

Advanced Medical Technology

The clinic uses specific platforms to improve surgical results and recovery. The Láser Iblaze CO2 and fractional CO2 laser resurface the skin. These technologies reduce the appearance of scars and acne marks. The number of sessions depends on the patient's skin condition.

Post-operative support includes Tensamax radiofrequency technology. This system stimulates collagen and elastin production. It supports lymphatic drainage and speeds up recovery. Patients also receive guidance on compression garments after body procedures.

Services for International Patients

The practice treats international patients through a structured coordination process. Virtual consultations are available for those outside Colombia. Patients select their preferred country and appointment format through the scheduling system. Pre-operative requirements, such as stopping tobacco use, are managed through these initial digital meetings.
