COLOMBIAN PLASTIC SURGEONS

He is one of a handful of plastic surgeons who have had formal hands-on plastic surgery training in South America, North America, Asia, and Europe, and therefore has a very cosmopolitan plastic surgery and aesthetic vision. He often tries to mix the south American perspective with a natural and cosmopolitan world-class approach. The practice has a branch in Colombia, in the beautiful city of Bucaramanga.

WHEN TO AVOID PLASTIC SURGERY

-You do not have time to recover. In general, for facial surgery, we recommend three months between surgery and a special or social (red carpet) event as a safety net. However, most people look presentable in normal social situation in three weeks, and oftentimes earlier. For body procedures, recovery can be from a few days (e.g. liposuction) to two to three weeks (tummy tuck or BBL). For most procedures, heavy activity such as exercise should be avoided for 3 weeks.

Complications are not common; however, they do occasionally happen, and delayed healing cannot be 100% avoided. This timeline is necessary in order to allow most of the swelling to go away and the results and tissues to appear natural, especially if the surgery is in a visible area.

-You want a perfect result because you will only be satisfied with perfection, and you know you will not be happy otherwise.

-You want perfect symmetry.

-You are taking blood thinners for medical conditions or immunosuppressants.

-You are a current smoker, or a current passive smoker (live with a partner that smokes next you)

-You are overweight or obese. Typically, we recommend not having surgery if your Body Mass Index is above 32-34, with the exception of some liposuction procedures (Link to: Liposuction for people with high BMI’s (obesity)). Use this link to calculate your BMI. 

-You are doing it for someone else or fitting an ideal image. Plastic surgery is a personal decision, and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.
