Dra Ángeles Esmeral

Dra Ángeles Esmeral is a private plastic surgery practice in Medellín, Colombia. Founded in 2020, the clinic is led by Dr. Maria De Los Angeles Esmeral Marín. It focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive surgery for international patients.

Accreditations and Professional Recognition

The practice maintains affiliations with recognized international medical organizations:

• Affiliated with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (S.C.P.B.A)
• Affiliated with the Hospital de Quemados in Buenos Aires
• Winner of international awards for reconstructive techniques
• Recognized for systematization in treating burn sequelae

Dr. Esmeral completed five years of specialized training at a major burn reference center in Argentina. This background shapes her approach to complex reconstructive cases and aesthetic procedures alike.

Facial Rejuvenation and Neck Procedures

The clinic specializes in structural facial rejuvenation through the Deep Plane Facelift method. This technique works beneath the SMAS layer of tissue, unlike traditional lifts.

Dr. Esmeral releases retaining ligaments to reposition the face vertically. This redefines the cheekbones and jawline without creating a pulled look. The clinic also performs cervicoplastia (neck lift) to improve the mandibular contour.

Neck lift procedures take about two hours and are done on an outpatient basis. Most patients need two weeks of initial recovery before returning to normal activities.

Body Contouring and Mommy Makeover

The practice offers body sculpting procedures including abdominoplasty and liposculpture. These are often combined into a Mommy Makeover to address post-pregnancy body changes.

• Tummy Tuck: Uses conventional or modified incisions to remove excess skin.
• Liposuction: Includes Vaser, laser, and liquid liposuction methods.
• Brazilian Butt Lift: Contouring using fat transfer or butt implants.
• Mastopexy: Performed as a breast lift or alongside augmentation.

For breast procedures, the clinic uses Motiva, Mentor, Eurosilicone, and Polytech implants.

Aesthetic Medicine and Recovery Technologies

Non-surgical treatments are available for patients seeking rejuvenation without incisions. Options include Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for acne scars and wrinkles. Mesotherapy treats signs of aging and loose tissue.

The practice provides a Surgical Kit: Beyond Surgery to support healing after major operations:

• Hyperbaric chamber sessions to improve oxygenation
• Ultrasound and radiofrequency therapy for tissue healing
• Pain pump systems for post-operative comfort
• Compression garments and anti-embolism stockings
• Lymphatic drainage sessions to reduce swelling

These components help stabilize patients during the most critical days after surgery.

Services for International Patients

The clinic runs a structured medical tourism program for patients traveling to Medellín. Care begins with an online consultation to create a personalized surgical plan. English-language procedure guides and direct doctor-guided planning are available.

Logistical support includes airport transportation to the patient's lodging. The clinic recommends quality hotels near the medical office for easy access. Patients receive a nutrition guide and recovery menus tailored to their healing needs. Dedicated follow-up care means continuous monitoring throughout the stay in Colombia.
