Augmentation mammaire avec prothèse mammaire en silicone à Body Institute

Body Institute is a private plastic surgery clinic in Bogotá, Colombia. It operates in one of the most exclusive areas of northern Bogotá. Surgical procedures and immediate recovery take place at Body Institute. Assessments are coordinated through Ciencia y Estética.

Accreditations and Professional Recognition

The clinic holds accreditations from major international plastic surgery organizations. These certifications reflect a commitment to surgical safety and standardized infrastructure.

• International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS)
• American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)

Dr. Luis Pavajeau has been awarded four times by the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery.

Body Contouring and Reconstructive Surgery

The surgical team specializes in advanced body contouring and reconstructive abdominal procedures. Specialists emphasize the difference between fat removal and muscle repair. Abdominoplasty is performed as reconstructive surgery to eliminate skin laxity and repair abdominal muscles. The clinic often pairs this with liposuction for better aesthetic results.

Surgeons use two primary energy-based technologies for fat removal:

• Vaser Liposuction – uses sound waves to liquefy fat
• Laser Liposuction – uses light waves to break down fat cells
• High-Definition Lipo – focuses on detailed muscle definition

These techniques cause less post-operative pain and swelling. Patients are encouraged to walk shortly after surgery. Most return to work within 48 hours.

Specialized Breast and Ear Units

The dedicated Breast Surgery Unit manages complex cases including augmentation, lifts, and reductions. The clinic has treated approximately 1,200 breast explantation patients. During explantation, surgeons remove the implant along with the capsule. Tissue is sent to pathology to rule out anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL).

The clinic is also known for Otoplasty, a procedure to change the size or position of the ears. Dr. Luis Pavajeau developed a specific surgical technique for this area. Ear surgery can be performed starting at age 7, with ages 7 to 10 considered optimal for children.

Facial and Intimate Aesthetics

Facial rejuvenation services include both surgical and non-surgical options. The medical team performs blepharoplasty, facelifts, and rhinoplasty. Surgeons offer both closed and open rhinoplasty techniques to address the nasal tip or hump. For non-surgical rejuvenation, the clinic uses hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin.

The clinic also provides specialized genital procedures for aesthetic and functional concerns:

• Vaginoplasty and Labiaplasty
• Clitoroplasty and vaginal tightening
• Laser-based pubic hair depilation
• Genital Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

These intimate procedures often use laser technology for precision. Consultations include a full specialized assessment of the pelvic area.

Advanced Surgical Infrastructure

Body Institute features a VIP Operating Room concept known as Quirófanos VIP. The facility is designed for patient comfort during the immediate recovery phase. The medical team includes eight members – three doctors and specialized surgical technologists. Lead surgeon Dr. Luis Pavajeau brings 33 years of experience. Dr. Nicolás Pavajeau, trained at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, holds a specialization in epidemiology.
