Facelift in clinic Bioforma

Clinic Bioforma is a private plastic surgery practice in Medellín, Colombia. It operates from a single building in the San Lucas sector of El Poblado. The clinic specializes in facial and body transformations, offering both surgical and non-surgical programs.

Accreditations and Professional Expertise

The clinic holds a distintivo de autorización de cirugía plástica. This certification confirms authorization by the Secretaría Seccional de Salud y Protección Social de Antioquia. This regulatory body verifies the facility meets quality standards for surgical care.

Dr. Ramiro Álvarez Henao, a certified plastic surgeon, leads the medical team. He has over 18 years of experience in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Three anesthesiologists support him, each with nearly 20 years of experience.

Two specialized instrumenting experts, Claudia Cetina and Lina Díaz, assist during operations. Qualified nurses and sterilization staff support the full treatment pathway.

Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery

The clinic offers surgical options for reshaping the face, bust, and body. Surgeons follow structured preoperative preparation to ensure patient safety. The plastic surgery department covers several key areas:

• Rhinoplasty – Primary and aesthetic nose surgery to correct size, shape, or breathing issues.
• Breast Surgery – Augmentation with implants, mastopexy (breast lift), and breast reduction.
• Body Contouring – Liposuction, liposculpture, and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck).
• Facial Lifting – Also called ritidoplastia, this surgery treats advanced laxity and deep wrinkles.
• Gluteoplasty – Buttock enhancement using silicone implants or autologous fat transfer.

Aesthetic rhinoplasty targets the nasal hump and refines the nasal tip. The procedure typically lasts 2 to 3 hours under general anesthesia. Patients generally return to normal activities within 7 to 10 days.

Aesthetic Medicine and Non-Surgical Treatments

For patients seeking rejuvenation without surgery, the clinic offers injectable treatments and fat grafting. These methods restore volume and reduce visible lines with minimal recovery time. Available treatments include:

• Botox – Botulinum toxin injections that typically last 4 to 6 months.
• Hyaluronic Acid – Volume restoration using Juvederm, with results lasting 8 to 18 months.
• Lipofilling – Facial rejuvenation using the patient's own fat for natural restoration.

Non-surgical facial programs address wrinkles and skin laxity as alternatives to invasive lifting. The clinic helps patients select the most suitable method for their anatomy.

Services for International Patients

Clinic Bioforma supports patients outside Medellín through virtual consultations. These sessions use video calls and chat to provide remote medical guidance. The medical team offers support from first contact through final discharge.

Guidance for aesthetic procedures is available during these online sessions. A dedicated personal assistant helps coordinate the patient experience.

After surgery, patients receive prescribed analgesics and specific instructions for managing mild discomfort.
