Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is a specialized practice in Cali, Colombia. The clinic operates from a single facility with four medical departments. It functions as a multi-specialty plastic and aesthetic surgery center led by Dr. Edgar Vergara and Dr. Judith Cadavid. The medical team includes anesthesiologists, gynecologists, and general surgeons who support complex aesthetic procedures.

Medical Team and Expertise

The practice is led by surgeons with nearly 30 years of clinical experience. Dr. Edgar Vergara is a full member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. He completed specialized training in maxillofacial and hand surgery at INMAMPS Hospital de Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro. He also served as a fellow at the Ivo Pitanguy Clinic, a world-recognized plastic surgery institution in Brazil.

Dr. Judith Cadavid specializes in otorhinolaryngology and facial surgery. She holds memberships in Colombian professional societies focused on rhinology and facial plastic surgery. An on-site clinical laboratory supports the surgeons. This allows the team to run essential preoperative tests immediately before any procedure.

Facial and Body Procedures

The clinic performs facial, body, and reconstructive surgeries. Each case begins with a structured consultation to review medical history and assess candidacy. The surgeons prioritize honest communication about realistic outcomes.

Facial Surgery

• Rhinoplasty to correct aesthetic humps, deviations, or congenital malformations
• Rhytidoplasty (facelift) and facial rejuvenation techniques
• Otoplasty to correct ear deformities and mentoplasty for chin contouring
• Non-surgical treatments including Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers
• Dermabrasion using salt granules or aluminum oxide crystals for acne scars

Body Contouring and Breast Surgery

• Abdominoplasty and lipectomy to improve the abdominal profile
• Breast augmentation, reduction, and breast lift (pexia)
• Brazilian Butt Lift using fat lipoinjection or silicone implants
• Thigh and calf augmentation using permanent leg implants
• Post-bariatric surgery to remove excess skin after major weight loss

Advanced Technology and Safety

The clinic uses specific surgical platforms to improve precision and recovery. Surgeons use VASER technology for liposuction. This method applies ultrasound energy to break down fat while sparing other tissues, so patients typically experience less bruising. For intimate wellness, the clinic provides laser-based vaginal rejuvenation.

Safety protocols include mandatory lab tests performed in the clinic's own laboratory. These exams cover blood counts, glucose levels, HIV antibodies, and coagulation tests (PT and PTT). Patients also have access to a hyperbaric chamber. Breathing pure oxygen under pressure helps reduce postoperative swelling and speeds tissue healing.

Postoperative Recovery Care

A central feature of the clinic is its structured recovery pathway. A dedicated nursing and aesthetic team actively manages post-surgical care. This support prevents complications and keeps patients comfortable during early healing.

The recovery program includes several essential services:

• Nursing staff accompaniment during day and night
• Management of postoperative drainage and professional dressing care
• Anticoagulant application as prescribed to prevent clots
• Specialized postoperative massages to improve lymphatic drainage
• Assistance with personal hygiene and medication supply

Services for International Patients

The clinic treats international travelers through a remote evaluation process. Patients can receive a personalized assessment via virtual consultations before traveling to Colombia. This helps plan the surgical timeline and expected recovery duration accurately.

The team assists with travel logistics for a smooth experience. Support includes coordinating lodging and arranging 24-hour nursing care at the patient's accommodation. These services let international patients recover under medical supervision outside a hospital setting.
