Dr. Rodrigo Montoya Абдоминоқалыпқа келтіру және липосакция

Dr. Rodrigo Montoya leads a surgeon-led private practice in Medellín's El Poblado district. The practice focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, with a specialty in technique-driven closure methods. Dr. Montoya personally manages every stage of care – from the initial exam to the final suture.

Accreditations and Clinical Volume

Dr. Montoya has performed over 12,400 procedures throughout his career. The practice holds memberships in major international organizations, including the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). All surgeries take place in certified Medellín clinics equipped with Intensive Care Units (UCI).

Specialties and Surgical Techniques

The practice is defined by a signature inverted-suture internal closure method. This technique places knots deep within the dermal tissue rather than on the skin surface. The internal placement aligns skin edges precisely and helps prevent visible suture marks. Dr. Montoya has taught this method to dozens of physicians.

Breast Procedures

For breast surgeries, the clinic uses absorbable internal sutures. This eliminates the need for manual stitch removal. Dr. Montoya performs several types of breast interventions:

• Mastopexy (breast lift) to restore firmness using the patient's own tissue
• Breast augmentation combined with a lift to address both volume and ptosis
• Breast reduction and capsulectomy
• Implant removal (explantation)

These procedures typically take one to three hours. Patients wear a surgical compression bra 24 hours a day for eight weeks after surgery.

Body Contouring and Abdominoplasty

The clinic offers lipoabdominoplastia – a combined procedure that uses liposculpture to shape the waist while performing a tummy tuck. This approach transfers tension to deeper tissue planes, so the surface skin closes without pressure. Patients begin walking in a slightly bent position from day one.

Facial Surgery

In facial aesthetics, the practice focuses on closed rhinoplasty. This method avoids external incisions, so there's no visible scarring on the nose. The clinic also treats keloid scars and performs ritidoplastia (facelift) procedures. Every facial plan is customized based on the patient's anatomy and history.

Safety and Pre-operative Protocols

Surgical preparation begins four to six weeks before the scheduled date. Patients undergo a complete medical evaluation and lab work – including hemogram, coagulation, glucose, and lipid tests. Renal and hepatic function are checked alongside an electrocardiogram. These steps confirm patients are healthy enough for general anesthesia.

International Patient Services

The clinic maintains a structured workflow for patients traveling from abroad. Initial consultations happen via video to establish a preliminary surgical plan. Once in Medellín, an in-person evaluation in El Poblado confirms the final approach. The care team communicates in English via WhatsApp to help with coordination.

Post-operative support includes guidance on local accommodation and a recovery roadmap. Follow-up continues remotely after patients return home. The clinic recommends long-term scar care – often silicone sheets and SPF 50 sunscreen for at least one year.
