Schedule a consultationWhat is body contouring?
A group of procedures that change the shape of the body by removing or redistributing fat and, when needed, treating the skin. The technique and technology are chosen during the consultation according to each person’s skin, fat and health. It is not a weight-loss treatment.
Procedures and technologies
| Procedure | What it is used for |
|---|---|
| Liposculpture | Removing localized fat from the abdomen, waist, back, arms or thighs. |
| High-definition liposuction | Enhancing the natural muscle contour when fat and skin allow it. |
| Gluteal fat transfer (BBL) | Using your own fat to add volume and shape to the buttocks. |
| VASER and power-assisted liposuction | Making fat removal easier with ultrasound or a vibrating cannula. |
| Renuvion | A complement to liposculpture that acts on the tissue under the skin. |
| Tummy tuck and lipoabdominoplasty | When there is excess skin that liposculpture alone cannot correct. |
Who is a good candidate?
Adults with a stable weight, health suitable for surgery and realistic expectations. The final indication is defined in the in-person consultation.

Information for an informed consultation

Your questions, answered
Am I a candidate?
It works on localized fat in skin that keeps its elasticity. It is not a treatment for obesity or weight loss, and it does not improve cellulite.
When can I go back to work?
Usually between 1 and 2 weeks. You walk from the first day, wearing a compression garment.
When will I see the final result?
Swelling goes down gradually and can last up to six months. In high-definition liposculpture, up to a year.
Does the fat come back?
The fat cells removed do not come back. But if your weight goes up significantly, new fat can appear, even in treated areas.
What are VASER and high definition?
VASER uses ultrasound to soften fat before removing it. High definition enhances the contour of the muscles and is for people close to their ideal weight with elastic skin.
How long do I wear the compression garment?
It is recommended day and night for at least the first 2 weeks and then for several more weeks.
What are the risks?
Seroma, hematoma, infection, irregularities, fibrosis, scar discoloration and thrombosis. The risk is higher with diabetes or heart disease, and for safety there is a limit on how much fat is removed.
Which technique is best for me?
That is defined in the consultation. No single technology suits everyone; it depends on the fat, the skin and the area.
Can I get in touch if I live outside Colombia?
Yes. First contact can be made via WhatsApp, and the definitive consultation is in person in Medellín.
Where is the surgery performed?
At AC Quirófanos and Quirófanos 2Sur in Medellín, facilities listed in Colombia’s health provider registry (REPS).
Is a price published on this page?
No. The final value is defined after the consultation because it depends on the indicated procedure, complexity, surgical time and each person’s needs.
Remember. This information is general. It does not replace a medical consultation: each case is evaluated individually.
