Procedury w chirurgii plastycznej — Dr. Alfonso Riascos – Plastic Surgery

Dr. Alfonso Riascos – Plastic Surgery is a private practice established in 2015. It operates within the Imbanaco Medical Center in Cali, Colombia. The practice specializes in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures for international and domestic patients.

Accreditations and Medical Expertise

The practice holds several international and national certifications that confirm its clinical standards. These include accreditations from the Joint Commission International (JCI) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Dr. Alfonso Riascos is board-certified by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).

Dr. Riascos completed five years of surgical training in Brazil at IPANEMA and Two Server Hospital. He also holds degree validation from Madrid, Spain. He is recognized as a pioneer in facial rejuvenation techniques that focus on non-visible scarring.

Facial Rejuvenation and Harmony

The clinic uses computer simulation for Profiloplasty to visualize patient goals before surgery. This technology lets the surgeon match digital changes with physiological conditions. Most patients return to work within one or two days after these facial procedures.

Facial surgery options include:

• Rhinoplasty to address aesthetic humps or deviations
• Septoplasty performed in the same session for functional breathing issues
• Mentoplasty for increasing or reducing chin size
• Blepharoplasty to treat sagging eyelids
• Otoplasty for ear reshaping, typically performed as a one-hour outpatient surgery

Profiloplasty often combines these techniques with fat removal from the jowls or cheeks. This creates a balanced facial appearance using local anesthesia and sedation.

Body Contouring and Breast Surgery

The practice offers surgical solutions for abdominal and breast aesthetics. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) removes excess fat and tightens separated muscles. The surgeon also performs mini-abdominoplasty for patients needing smaller corrections.

Breast procedures at the clinic include:

• Mammoplasty for augmentation using implants
• Breast reduction to relieve physical discomfort
• Mastopexy (breast lift) to reposition excess skin
• Gynaecomastia treatment to reduce enlarged male breast tissue

For male patients, the clinic offers chest implants and male-specific abdominoplasty. These procedures often target excess skin and stretch marks after significant weight loss.

Aesthetic Technology and Skin Care

The clinic uses SkinPen Precision – the first microneedling device authorized by the FDA. This technology activates the skin's healing process to treat acne scars and fine lines. It also addresses stretch marks and enlarged pores without invasive surgery.

Specialists use this device to treat various pigmentation conditions:

• Melasma (dark skin patches)
• Vitiligo (loss of skin pigment)
• Solar lentigines (age spots)

These non-surgical treatments complement the surgical options for patients seeking skin texture improvement.

Services for International Patients

Dr. Alfonso Riascos's practice offers dedicated support for patients traveling to Cali. The clinic provides multilingual medical content in English to help with treatment planning. Pre-operative instructions are clearly defined, including a 10-day preparation protocol for medications and supplements.

Patients receive guidance for appointments with the staff anesthesiologist, Dr. Carlos Alberto Bonilla. The practice coordinates outpatient-style planning to minimize the length of stay in Colombia.
