Dr. Roberto Cardona is a private plastic surgery practice in Medellín, Colombia. It operates from Torre Médica Las Américas. The practice focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures for the face and body. Dr. Roberto Cardona leads it with over 20 years of clinical experience.
Experience and Clinical Standards
The practice has managed over 10,000 cases and logged 6,000 surgery hours. All procedures take place at IQ Interquirófanos, a facility accredited by Joint Commission International (JCI). This accreditation confirms international standards for infection control, risk management, and patient safety.
Dr. Roberto Cardona studied medicine at Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana in Medellín. He then specialized in plastic and reconstructive surgery at Universidad El Bosque in Bogotá. His training includes rotations in micro-reconstructive and hand surgery at several Colombian institutions:
- Fundación Operación Sonrisa
- Clínica Shaio
- Fundación Cardio-Infantil
- Hospital Simón Bolívar
These rotations built his foundation in complex reconstructive techniques before he moved into private aesthetic practice.
Facial Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine
The clinic offers facial procedures that modify contours or address signs of aging. Each surgical plan starts with an assessment at the Medellín office. This aligns goals with the patient's anatomy.
Facial surgical options include:
- Rhinoplasty to reshape the nose
- Blepharoplasty for eyelid rejuvenation
- Facelift techniques, including deep plane and mini facelifts
- Mentoplasty (chin surgery) and frontoplasty (forehead lift)
- Bichectomy to reduce cheek volume
Non-surgical treatments suit patients who want aesthetic changes without downtime. Options include hyaluronic acid fillers for facial contouring and botulinum toxin for dynamic wrinkles. Filler results peak after two weeks and last 4 to 6 months.
Body Contouring and Fat Transfer
Body procedures reshape the silhouette through volume reduction or enhancement. The practice uses a three-stage autologous fat transfer process. Fat is extracted via liposuction, purified, then reinjected into the face or glutes for natural volume.
Body surgical services include:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to remove excess skin and tighten muscles
- Liposuction and liposculpture for targeted fat reduction
- Mammoplasty, including breast augmentation with implants
- Gluteal surgery using either implants or fat transfer (BBL)
Every breast surgery includes preoperative imaging and detailed planning to reduce risks. Patients receive specific aftercare instructions to manage swelling and support healing.
Services for International Patients
The practice follows a structured process for patients traveling from abroad. It begins with an initial medical assessment and continues through organized postoperative follow-up. All planning is coordinated between the consultation office and the JCI-accredited surgical center. This keeps care consistent from start to finish.
