What is your role in Colombian society as a plastic and reconstructive surgeon?

I love that question! Since the war, surgeons have being responsible for saving lives. But the soldiers cover their disfigured faces and other traumatic wounds. Over the years, and with the help of technology, surgeons are playing a key role in society by improving our patients quality of life.

As everything in excess is bad, unlimited reconstructions as well. Therefore, each doctor is listening to his patients to know what the real need is beyond the aesthetic. My role is to listen and guide my patient to help him have a better quality of life.

Why is important to keep a natural look in plastic surgery procedures?

It is important to keep body harmony. It is not okay to have an enormous bust that disrupts your balance.

Do you think that conventional surgery could be displaced?

That will not happen. For example, if a patient has several options such as a radio-frequency treatment, but the problem goes beyond the superficial, and the tissue or muscle has lost firmness. A surgeon have to perform an internal reconstruction or reaffirmation. In that case the patient must go into the operating room.

Do you think that in Colombia there is still a taboo for plastic surgeries?

Not at all, we have been positioned among other countries as specialists in cosmetic surgery. Colombians are curvy and we like to show and tell others about the touch ups we had with pride. There is no taboo at all.

There are four fundamental pillars that must be taken into account before opting for plastic surgery to prevent something from going wrong. The first thing is to know who will do the procedure, and how many years of experience does he have.
