It focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, including facial procedures and body contouring. The facility is designed for privacy and professional care for local and international patients.

Accreditations and Professional Recognition

The clinic meets international safety standards for surgical facilities. It is certified by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). This confirms the facility follows strict safety and quality protocols. Major global organizations also recognize the practice, including ISAPS and ASPS.

Dr. Luis Botero has received notable academic recognition. He won the Best Technology Paper Award 2025 from Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery – Global Open. This award recognized his research on Artificial Intelligence in plastic surgery. He also serves as President of AMWC Latin America, a major congress for aesthetic and anti-aging medicine.

Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring

The clinic specializes in surgical body remodeling and facial rejuvenation. Dr. Botero has 20 years of experience in reconstructive and aesthetic procedures. He emphasizes in-person evaluations to determine the right approach – whether liposuction, abdominoplasty, or abdominal marking. This ensures the surgical plan matches each patient's anatomy.

Body contouring options include several advanced techniques:

• Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck): Remodels abdominal tissue and fat to restore a firm, flat abdomen.
• Lipotransfer (Brazilian Butt Lift): Uses the patient's own fat for gluteal augmentation instead of implants.
• Liposuction: Includes laser-assisted and Vaser techniques for the neck, arms, and midsection.
• Six-Pack Abs Etching: A specialized liposuction method to define abdominal muscle contours.
• Renuvion J Plasma: A technology for skin tightening after fat removal.

For facial rejuvenation, the clinic offers both surgical and non-surgical treatments. Surgeons perform facelifts, endoscopic brow lifts, and rhinoplasty. Non-surgical options include Botox injections and dermabrasion. Facial peeling is also available to remove dead skin cells and address sun damage.

Breast Surgery Specialization

The practice provides a full range of breast procedures tailored to individual needs. Dr. Botero collaborates with the Sulàyöm Motiva Research and Development Center. This partnership allows for scientific exchange on breast implant technology. The clinic offers several surgical paths:

• Breast Augmentation: Performed with saline implants or fat transfer.
• Mastopexy (Breast Lift): Elevates the breast and can be combined with augmentation.
• Breast Reduction: Reduces volume to improve comfort and aesthetic balance.
• Reconstructive Surgery: Addresses needs following trauma or illness.

Recovery for most office-based workers takes 5–7 days. Patients should limit physical effort during initial healing. The exact rest period depends on each patient's usual exercise routine.

Advanced Medical Technologies

The clinic uses specific platforms for non-surgical remodeling and skin treatment. These technologies allow targeted improvements without invasive surgery. Key equipment includes:

• Morpheus 8 (InMode): Uses fractional radiofrequency for deep facial and body remodeling.
• Aveli: A specialized technology designed to treat the underlying causes of cellulite.
• Cool Peel Laser: A treatment for skin resurfacing with minimal downtime.

These devices complement surgical results or work as standalone aesthetic treatments.

Services for Patients

International patients receive care from a medical team trained at major global centers. Dr. Botero completed his plastic surgery training at the Free University of Brussels in Belgium. He also studied at Henri Poincaré University in France. The clinic provides services in Spanish, and consultations include a full treatment plan.
