Procedimientos de Cirugía plástica en Dr. Stephania Pinedo

Dr. Stephania Pinedo runs a private plastic surgery practice in Bogotá, Colombia. The clinic operates from a single specialized facility focused on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Dr. Pinedo leads the medical team as a board-certified plastic surgeon with a focus on natural surgical outcomes.

Accreditations and Medical Credentials

The clinic maintains high quality standards through recognized medical associations. Dr. Pinedo is a member of the Sociedad Colombiana de Cirugía Plástica (SCCP). The practice also holds accreditation from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). These certifications verify that the clinic follows established safety protocols.

Dr. Pinedo trained at the prestigious Ivo Pitanguy school, linked to the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Rio de Janeiro. This training emphasizes meticulous surgical techniques and safe aesthetic rejuvenation.

Specialized Surgical Procedures

The clinic specializes in complex facial and body reshaping surgeries. Dr. Pinedo performs several flagship procedures:

• Deep Plane Facelift – repositions deep facial structures to lift without skin tension.
• Mommy Makeover – combined procedures tailored for post-pregnancy body restoration.
• En Bloc Explantation – removes breast implants and the entire scar capsule together.
• Mastopexy – breast lift surgery, with or without implants, using the patient's tissue.
• Abdominoplasty – tummy tuck focused on abdominal contouring and muscle repair.

Each surgical plan is developed through an individual evaluation to match the patient's anatomy and goals.

Advanced Technologies and Methods

The clinic uses specific surgical and diagnostic platforms to improve results. For body contouring and HD liposculpture, Dr. Pinedo uses several advanced systems:

• VASER – ultrasound-assisted technology that emulsifies fat while preserving surrounding tissues.
• Microaire – power-assisted liposuction for precise, efficient fat removal.
• Renuvion – helium plasma technology used to tighten skin during contouring.
• Fractionated CO₂ Laser – a skin rejuvenation tool for texture and aging signs.

For implant-related concerns, the En Bloc approach involves a total capsulectomy. This removes all scar tissue as a single unit.

Safety Protocols for International Patients

The Pinedo Protocol protects patients traveling from the US, Canada, and Europe. Bogotá sits at 2,600 meters, so specific health requirements apply. Patients must arrive 48 to 72 hours before surgery to acclimatize.

Pre-surgical safety includes stopping certain supplements 15 to 21 days before arrival. Patients must avoid Omega-3, Vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba, and Ashwagandha. These steps reduce bleeding risks and inflammatory interference during healing.

Postoperative care is structured for long-distance travelers. En Bloc explant cases require a minimum stay of 15 to 18 days in Colombia. This allows time for medical clearance before a long-haul flight home.

Services for Global Travelers

The practice offers bilingual support in English and Spanish throughout treatment. International patients begin with virtual consultations and anatomical assessments. The clinic provides concierge-style logistics, including suture management and personalized monitoring during recovery in Bogotá.

After returning home, patients receive a complete medical report for their local physician. Dr. Pinedo also conducts virtual follow-up appointments to monitor long-term healing.
