By Dr. Lina Cardona is a private plastic surgery practice in Medellín, Colombia. The clinic opened in 2018 in the El Poblado district. It focuses on facial and body procedures using a medical-and-aesthetic approach. This method prioritizes safety and anatomical harmony over artificial transformations.

Key Facts and Patient Volume

The practice has performed over 8,000 procedures since its founding. Dr. Lina Cardona leads the clinical team with a focus on individualized surgical planning. Every treatment follows a structured preparation process that includes guidance on diet and pre-surgery habits.

Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery

Specialists at the clinic provide a broad range of surgical transformations. Each procedure starts with an in-depth assessment of the patient's anatomy and expectations. The surgical portfolio includes several specialized areas:

• Rhinoplasty: Doctors perform open and closed techniques. The plan addresses both the nasal profile and respiratory function.
• Body Contouring: This includes liposculpture, lipoabdominoplasty, and 360-degree abdominal techniques.
• Breast Surgery: The clinic offers augmentation, reduction, and pexia mamaria (breast lift).
• Mommy Makeover: Combined procedures restore the body after pregnancy. These often include gluteal fat transfer.
• Facial Rejuvenation: Surgeons perform blepharoplasty to address aging signs around the eyes.

For breast implant patients, the clinic provides long-term monitoring. Evaluations typically occur 10–12 years after surgery. If results remain stable, patients continue with annual ultrasounds and clinical controls.

Surgical Expertise and Methods

Dr. Lina Cardona and Dr. Lina Carmona lead the medical practice. Both doctors graduated from the University of Manizales. They also hold Master's degrees in Aesthetic Medicine from the Argentine Council of Aesthetic Sciences. Dr. Lina Cardona is a member of the Società Colombo Italiana di Chirurgia Estetica.

Surgeons use updated techniques to restore natural contours. For rhinoplasty, the team manages a limited surgical schedule. This gives each patient personal medical follow-up during recovery. In body contouring, fat distribution and skin quality determine the specific surgical plan.

Services for International Patients

The clinic provides structured support for patients traveling from abroad. This assistance begins before surgery and continues until medical discharge. Follow-up care is built into the treatment process. For rhinoplasty, the clinic schedules post-operative controls at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. This way, the surgical team monitors long-term results.
