AmayaClinic®

AmayaClinic is a private plastic surgery center in Bogota, Colombia. It sits in the Usaquen neighborhood and runs three specialized departments: the AmayaClinic Institute, the Body Institute, and dedicated recovery suites. Medical Director Dr. Felipe Amaya leads the team and performs surgeries himself.

Key Statistics and Accreditations

More than 50% of patients come from abroad – over 300 international patients each year. The clinic has completed more than 14,000 successful surgeries in total.

Dr. Felipe Amaya is an SCCP-certified plastic surgeon. This certification comes from the Colombian Society of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery. He also holds membership in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Surgical Specialties and Methods

The clinic focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Dr. Felipe Amaya brings over 20 years of experience and has personally treated more than 14,000 patients. The team covers five main areas:

• Body Contouring: Multi-component abdominoplasty, VASER liposculpture, and gluteal fat transfer.
• Rhinoplasty: Closed, ultrasonic, and bulbous nose techniques that hide incisions.
• Breast Surgery: Augmentation with Motiva implants, mastopexy, and reconstruction.
• Facial Rejuvenation: Facelifts, neck lifts, and specialized chemical peels.
• Gender-Affirming Surgery: FTM mastectomy and MTF procedures, including vaginoplasty.

Abdominoplasty here often combines skin tightening, muscle suturing, and liposculpture in one session. Dr. Amaya uses a proprietary neoumbilicoplasty technique to create a natural belly button shape and depth. A tummy tuck takes about four hours. Recovery requires 15 days in Bogota.

Specialized Hair Restoration

The REGROW Hair Clinic is a dedicated unit for alopecia. Lead specialist Dr. Paula Carolina Gomez trained in Spain and focuses on hair graft procedures. She treats androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, and other forms of hair loss.

The unit uses Trivellini technology and Lion Implanters. These tools allow precise hairline design and higher follicle density, while minimizing scarring.

Technology and Diagnostic Platforms

Patients can access a free digital pre-assessment tool. They upload photos, and Dr. Amaya reviews the files to create a personalized surgical plan.

For body procedures, the clinic uses Ultrasound Assisted Liposculpture (UAL). Rhinoplasty relies on rasping techniques instead of hammers or chisels for dorsal bump removal.

International Patient Services

The AmayaClinic Experience team coordinates logistics for travelers. Services include:

• Private airport-hotel-airport transfers
• Digital pre-assessments with quotes within 48 hours
• Accommodation in AmayaClinic Recovery Suites
• Meal and local transportation coordination

Recovery suites are private apartments that hold up to three people. Each includes a dining area and private bathroom.

The clinic recommends arriving three days before surgery. This gives time for in-person evaluations and preparation. Online consultations are also available beforehand to discuss medical history and expectations.
