Dermatoscopia in Dr. Zamir Paez

Dr. Zamir Paez runs a private plastic surgery practice in Medellín's El Poblado neighborhood. The clinic focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures for international patients. Dr. Paez operates in both Colombia and Dubai.

Safety Standards and Accreditations

Patient safety is a central priority. Dr. Paez performs all surgeries in hospitals with Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. In Medellín, procedures take place at Interquirófanos IQ. This facility has advanced biomedical engineering support and dedicated recovery areas. The practice also holds ISAPS, ASPS, and ISO 13485 certifications.

Dr. Paez is a board-certified plastic surgeon who trained at Pontifical Javeriana University in Bogotá. He has completed over 5,000 successful surgeries. He also co-founded BodyCraft Academy, where he trains surgeons through live surgical workshops.

Specialized Surgical Procedures

The practice focuses on facial, body, and breast transformations. Each surgical plan starts with a full medical evaluation to confirm the patient is fit for surgery. The clinic offers several advanced procedures:

• Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty – Uses high-frequency vibrations to reshape nasal bone and cartilage with precision.
• Rib Remodeling (RibXcar) – A waistline-narrowing technique planned using ultrasound and advanced imaging.
• Mommy Makeover – Combines procedures like abdominoplasty and breast enhancement.
• Gynecomastia Surgery – Male breast reduction using closed fat removal techniques and discreet incisions.
• Facial Lipoinjection – Fat is extracted, processed, and injected to restore facial volume.

Dr. Paez took part in a multicenter rib remodeling study with 3,805 patients across 8 countries. The research tracked outcomes for up to one year to confirm safety and technique efficacy.

Advanced Medical Technologies

The clinic uses specific technology platforms to improve surgical accuracy and recovery. Ultrasonic vibrations appear in 95% of rhinoplasty cases, which reduces trauma to surrounding tissue. For body contouring and skin tightening, the practice uses several systems:

• VASER – Ultrasound technology for precise fat emulsification.
• MicroAire – A power-assisted system for efficient fat extraction.
• Renuvion – Cold plasma technology that stimulates skin retraction.
• Neurostimulation – Tools that identify and protect nerves during facial surgery.

Diagnostic options include nasal endoscopy, otoscopy, and digital dermoscopy for mole assessment. Ultrasound imaging helps plan body sculpting and rib remodeling procedures.

Services for International Patients

The clinic offers concierge-style support for patients traveling to Medellín. Bilingual coordinators help with travel planning and medical visits. Virtual consultations let patients discuss goals and candidacy before they travel. Coordination services include:

• Airport transfers and private premium transportation
• Round-trip flight arrangement assistance
• Recovery home accommodations with 24/7 assistance options
• Translator support during medical appointments

Patients receive aftercare guidance tailored to their specific operation. Dr. Paez conducts scheduled follow-up visits to monitor healing. The medical team requires in-person checkups before clearing patients for international flights.
