Dr. Erika Gutiérrez is a private plastic surgery clinic in Bogotá, Colombia. Established in 2021, the practice operates from a single facility in the Usaquén district. Dr. Erika Gutiérrez, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, heads the clinic. She has treated over 6,000 patients.
Medical Expertise and Achievements
The medical team includes three specialists who focus on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Dr. Gutiérrez is a professor at the University of Sinú and a certified member of the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery. About 89% of the clinic's international patients travel from the United States and Canada.
Dr. Gutiérrez also performs reconstructive surgery at Simón Bolívar Hospital. This work includes treating burn victims and children with cleft lip. The team operates in accredited surgical centers in Bogotá. Every surgical plan includes standardized clinical photography and preoperative cardiovascular assessments.
Facial Surgery and Rhinoplasty
The clinic specializes in ultrasonic rhinoplasty using piezoelectric technology. This method uses ultrasound energy to sculpt nasal bones with millimeter precision. It avoids damage to surrounding soft tissues, so bruising and swelling are reduced. Patients typically return to work 10 to 12 days after the procedure.
Facial rejuvenation options include several specialized techniques:
- Deep Plane facelift for advanced facial lifting
- Upper blepharoplasty using incisions hidden in natural eyelid folds
- Transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty to avoid visible external scars
- Four-eyelid correction performed in a single surgical session
- Cantopexy to elevate and reposition the outer eye corners
The practice also offers outpatient rhinomodeling for minor tip and bridge corrections. These procedures take 45 to 90 minutes under local anesthesia. Most patients go home the same day.
Body Contouring and Breast Surgery
VASER liposculpture is the core technology for body procedures. This ultrasound system emulsifies fat before removal, which improves skin retraction. Surgeons perform 360° liposculpture and high-definition abdominal marking to define muscle contours. Extracted fat can be reinjected into the buttocks or hips via lipotransfer.
Breast procedures focus on natural tissue integration using retromuscular or dual-plane techniques. Options include:
- Breast augmentation using high-cohesivity silicone implants
- Mastopexy to lift sagging breast tissue
- Breast reduction for patients with breast hypertrophy
- En bloc explantation for implant removal
Specialized Mommy Makeover programs combine these techniques into personalized plans. A typical combination includes a tummy tuck, liposculpture, and breast lifting in one operation. Gender affirmation surgeries – including mastectomies and facial feminization – are also available.
Advanced Technologies
The clinic uses regenerative medicine to improve surgical outcomes. A proprietary technique combines autologous fat membranes with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). This mixture works as a natural filler for facial rejuvenation. VASER ultrasound emulsifies fat while protecting surrounding blood vessels. Piezoelectric tools replace traditional hammers and chisels during nasal bone surgery.
Services for International Patients
International guests receive logistical coordination for their medical travel. The clinic offers standard and premium service packages for overseas patients. These plans include surgical fees, anesthesia, and complete postoperative follow-up. Some packages include deep facial cleansing or ultrasound sessions to reduce inflammation. The staff manages a structured recovery schedule with check-ups at 3, 8, 15, and 30 days.
