Dr. Andrés Mojica — Plastic Surgery

Dr. Andrés Mojica — Plastic Surgery is a private single-specialty clinic in Medellín, Colombia. The practice operates from the Salud Vegas Torre Médica building. It focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, with an emphasis on natural results.

Accreditations and Professional Recognition

Dr. Andrés Mojica has over 15 years of experience in plastic surgery. The clinic performs procedures in JCI-accredited operating rooms. Dr. Mojica is board-certified and belongs to these professional organizations:

Facial Surgery and Rhinoplasty

The clinic specializes in facial aesthetics, with a primary focus on ultrasonic rhinoplasty. This technique uses a piezotome – a high-frequency ultrasound device – to reshape nasal bones precisely. Because it targets bone without damaging soft tissue, patients typically see less bruising and recover faster.

Facial rejuvenation options include:

• Facelift and neck lift for structural aging correction
• Endoscopic facelift to minimize visible scarring
• Forehead lift and chin liposuction
• Lip lift and non-surgical nose correction

Dr. Mojica holds an International Master's Degree in Reconstructive Microsurgery from the Autonomous University of Barcelona. He completed clinical rotations in Helsinki, Paris, and Tokyo.

Body Contouring and Breast Surgery

Liposculpture 360 targets fat removal and skin tightening around the entire midsection. The clinic uses Vaser technology, an ultrasonic system that liquefies fat cells before extraction. This helps the skin adhere smoothly for a better silhouette.

Breast and gluteal procedures include:

• Breast augmentation using Motiva, Mentor, or Silimed implants
• Breast lift (mastopexy) and breast reduction
• Gluteoplasty using Polytech or Silimed gluteal implants
• Fat grafting (lipoinjection) for breast or gluteal enhancement

For abdominal concerns, the clinic performs tummy tucks (abdominoplasty). This procedure removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal wall muscles.

Advanced Surgical Technology

The practice uses several specialized platforms for accuracy and patient safety. Microaire power-assisted technology supports fat removal during liposuction. For skin tightening, radiofrequency and high-frequency ultrasound systems promote tissue retraction after fat loss.

Every procedure follows safe surgery protocols. These include full lab tests and a pre-anesthesia medical evaluation. This process identifies potential risks before the patient enters the operating room.

Services for International Patients

The clinic runs a coordinated medical tourism program for patients traveling to Medellín. Appointments are scheduled around each patient's travel itinerary. The following services are available:

• Private airport transfers from Medellín International Airport
• Transportation between the hotel, clinic, and operating rooms
• Accommodation in boutique hotel-style apartments in central Medellín
• 24/7 nursing support during initial recovery

Post-operative care includes home-based lymphatic drainage and mesotherapy to reduce swelling. Patients also receive recovery items such as surgical bras, compression stockings, and hyperbaric chamber sessions to support tissue healing.
