Jaime Arias

With breast implant removal (explantation) paired with capsulectomy, and an aim for a natural, healthier breast contour, Jaime Arias’ work focuses on both aesthetic harmony and patient well-being. As a specialist at the Plastic Surgery clinic in Cali, Colombia, he treats patients who want changes ranging from breast reshaping to body contouring after major weight loss. His approach is presented as personalized and safety-first, with planning built around anatomy and the patient’s goals. For international patients, the clinic describes an integrated pathway that combines medical assessment, surgery, and structured recovery support. Among the procedures highlighted on his practice pages are breast surgery options including breast augmentation (including via the axillary route with silicone implants), breast lift, and explantation with removal of implants and the periprosthetic capsule. Body contouring offerings include abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), liposculpture/high-definition liposuction, upper body lift, torsoplasty, and post-bariatric plastic surgery. For the face, he performs facial rejuvenation/face and neck lifting (ritidoplasty), blepharoplasty for eyelid correction, and rhinoplasty with separate attention to functional breathing goals as well as male and female nasal aesthetics. He also lists otoplasty for ear shape and position correction, and cheek slimming using liposuction of the cheeks and Bichat bag resections. The clinic’s patient pathway is described as including in-person or virtual medical evaluation, pre-surgical exams, anesthesiology assessment, and post-operative follow-ups; international patients are also supported with hotel-based recovery that includes nursing care. In addition to surgery, the doctor states that he has trained 102+ physicians in the field of Plastic Surgery. He also lists professional society involvement and leadership roles within hospitals and university-linked surgery departments in Colombia.
