Chirurgie du manchon gastrique (gastrectomie en manchon) à Plastic Surgery Medellín

Plastic Surgery Medellín, also known as Colombian Plastic Esthetic International, is a private multi-specialty facility established in 2025. Located in Medellín, Colombia, the center operates three specialized departments. The clinic focuses on plastic surgery, bariatric procedures, and advanced laser medicine.

Accreditations and Professional Standards

The clinic operates under REPS (Registro Especial de Prestadores de Servicios de Salud) in Colombia. This registration confirms the facility meets national health service standards. The medical team includes specialists who hold memberships in ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery). All surgeries take place in certified clinics.

Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery

The surgical team, including Dr. Daniel Correa Posada and Dra. Elizabeth Giraldo, performs facial and body transformations. Specialists use the Fast Rino technique for rhinoplasty. This method typically allows for same-day discharge. For body contouring, the clinic offers lipoabdominoplasty with High Muscle Repair (HMR) to improve abdominal definition.

Intimate aesthetic procedures are a core specialty. These treatments often use local anesthesia and require minimal time in the facility:

• Vaginal tightening with laser: Takes 15–20 minutes with a 2–3 week recovery period.
• Vaginal canal narrowing: Completed in one session with local anesthesia.
• Labiaplasty: Performed as an outpatient surgery.

Other procedures include breast augmentation, mastopexy, and inverted nipple surgery. Inverted nipple correction typically takes one hour under general anesthesia. Patients usually recover within one week.

Bariatric Surgery and Weight Management

The clinic treats obesity through both surgical and non-surgical pathways. Surgeons perform Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y) for patients with a BMI over 40. This procedure typically takes 2–3 hours. Patients stay one day and recover over 2–3 weeks. Data shows 65–75% excess weight loss after five years.

For non-surgical options, the clinic provides a nutritional re-education program. This plan targets weight loss of 1–2 kg per week. It focuses on habit change without strict diets or medical restrictions. No anesthesia or hospitalization is needed.

Laser Technologies and Skin Care

Plastic Surgery Medellín uses specialized laser platforms for hair removal and tissue repair. The Resuslaser Ultrasoft Depill uses a diode laser beam. This system weakens hair follicles over 10 to 16 sessions. The clinic also uses Resuslaser Scar Repair for tissue regeneration. This technology applies short-pulse laser energy to reduce inflammation and reorganize scar tissue.

International Patient Services

The clinic provides a structured medical tourism model called integral accompaniment. This service connects international patients with certified specialists and approved hospitals. Patients use a telesalud app for online appointments and surgical consultations. This digital tool helps manage scheduling and medical access from abroad.

For recovery, the clinic offers housing options with specific amenities:

• Private and quiet environments with high-speed WiFi
• Equipped kitchens and private bathrooms
• Optional nursing care packages for post-operative support
• Assistance with transfers, flight tickets, and local tours

Specialists provide follow-up consultations via email or phone to monitor recovery. The clinic also offers financial guidance to help patients manage treatment logistics.
