Michel Gallego

With LIPOÉLITE 360 and Retraction, Michel Gallego combines advanced liposuction with intraoperative radiofrequency to target both fat removal and skin firmness. As a specialist at Dr. Michel Gallego in Medellín, he focuses on body contouring and breast procedures designed to refine proportions and improve shape. His practice includes high-definition liposuction for areas such as the abdomen, waist, back, and thighs, with ultrasound support when indicated. For patients seeking a more sculpted silhouette, he also describes combining LIPOMARCACIÓN (contouring) with gluteal lipoinjection (BBL) and, when appropriate, miniabdominoplasty and breast implants for overall balance.

Clinical focus and techniques

In consultations, the plan is built around whether a patient is a candidate for combined procedures, taking into account health status, age, and the expected duration of surgery.

• LIPOÉLITE 360 — advanced liposuction for localized fat removal in areas including the abdomen, waist, back, and thighs.
• Retraction — intraoperative radiofrequency combined with high-definition liposuction to improve laxity and tighten skin from within.
• Gluteal lipoinjection (BBL) — gluteal fat transfer to enhance volume and projection.
• LIPOMARCACIÓN — contour marking to define the waist and abdominal shape.
• MINIABDOMINOPLASTY — abdominal tightening as part of combined contouring plans.
• Ultrasound-assisted liposuction — ultrasound support used with liposculpture when conventional liposuction may not achieve the desired result.
• Correction of fibrosis — addressed as part of complex contouring when indicated by prior history.
• Mastopexy in T (inverted T) with silicone implants — used when more significant lifting is needed and additional skin and breast tissue require remodeling.
• Mastopexy + breast implants — repositioning the nipple and areola, removing redundant skin and excess breast tissue, and improving upper-pole projection.

Michel Gallego’s work is based in Medellín, Colombia, where international patients are guided to stay locally for close postoperative follow-up after surgery. For patients planning travel, the clinic emphasizes recovery in Medellín for safety and monitoring. Communication and planning are supported through appointment scheduling by phone/WhatsApp, with the clinic welcoming patients who want a structured plan for combined body-contouring and breast procedures.
