Accreditations and Specialist Background

Dr. Uribe holds credentials from the Fundación Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud (FUCS) in Bogotá. She is an active member of the Sociedad Colombiana de Cirugía Plástica, Estética y Reconstructiva. Her training includes the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and clinical work at Hospital de San José.

This institution is recognized globally for complex reconstructive techniques. The clinic follows a "Products Guaranteed" approach, so all medical supplies meet strict quality standards.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

The clinic offers surgical options for the face, breasts, and body. Breast procedures are a primary focus, with surgical times typically ranging from 2 to 5 hours. Most major breast and body surgeries are performed under general anesthesia.

Breast surgery options include:

• Breast augmentation with implants and tailored incision approaches
• Breast reduction to remove glandular and fatty tissue
• Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without implants to correct sagging
• Explantation for removing existing breast implants
• Mastectomy for gynecomastia to treat enlarged male breast tissue

Body contouring and facial services address both aesthetic and functional concerns. Facial surgeries like blepharoplasty and otoplasty take about 2 to 4 hours. Anesthesia options include local, local assisted, or general – depending on the case.

Body and facial contouring methods include:

• Abdominoplasty and mini-abdominoplasty for abdominal wall repair
• Liposculpture and lipomarcación for fat removal and definition
• Gluteoplasty with buttock implants or fat injection
• Blepharoplasty to remove excess skin and fat from eyelids
• Facial fat transfer to fill grooves or deformities with the patient's own fat

Skin and reconstructive services include skin cancer and tumor resection. The clinic also performs vaginal rejuvenation, including labia reduction and clitoral hood reduction. Botox is available for patients seeking non-surgical improvements.

Safety Protocols and Technology

Safety begins with a mandatory pre-anesthesia appointment. The clinic verifies sterility protocols right before surgery to prevent infections. Patients with breast implants follow a structured schedule that includes annual breast ultrasounds and monthly self-exams.

Hyperbaric chambers and IV therapy are available to support healing. These pre-procedure steps help optimize tissue condition before surgery. Each surgical plan is tailored to the individual patient.

International Patient Care and Aftercare

Recovery follows a coordinated post-surgical care program. Patients receive guidance on compression garments and anti-embolism stockings. These help manage swelling and prevent vascular complications during early healing.

The aftercare program includes:

• Coordinated post-surgical drainage sessions with an assigned cosmetologist
• Assisted mobilization to encourage safe movement after surgery
• Direct contact with the treating surgeon for follow-up
• Nutritional guidance and weight stability recommendations to preserve results

Patients should avoid physical exertion for the first 2 weeks after major surgery. International travelers can coordinate care directly through the practice's perioperative protocols.
