Ivan Santos Plastic Surgery is a private aesthetic clinic founded in 2019 by Dr. Ivan Santos. The center is located in Bogotá, Colombia. It focuses exclusively on body and facial contouring. Dr. Santos leads the facility with over 15 years of surgical experience.
Key Facts and Safety Statistics
The clinic tracks procedure volumes and complication rates through regular audits. Dr. Santos has performed over 5,000 liposuction and liposculpture procedures with no reported mortality. The center treats around 300 patients annually for major body surgeries.
For glute fat injection, the clinic reports a complication index of 2 per 7,000 infiltrated buttocks. No cases of thromboembolism or fat embolism have occurred in the clinic's reported data.
Body Contouring and Gluteal Surgery
The clinic specializes in gluteal enhancement, performing about 300 glute procedures every year. Specialists offer gluteoplasty using either high-quality implants or the patient's own fat. Fat transfer procedures use a three-dimensional approach to shape the buttock structure.
The center provides several advanced liposuction methods:
- Vaser liposuction – uses ultrasound to break down fat cells while preserving other tissues
- Laser lipolysis – uses laser energy to liquefy fat before removal
- Abdominal marking – specialized etching to define the appearance of abdominal muscles
- Mega liposuction – for large-volume fat removal
Abdominoplasty is the second most common procedure, with over 300 patients treated annually. Surgeons remove excess skin and stretch marks below the navel. They place scars low enough to be hidden by swimwear.
Breast and Facial Procedures
Breast surgery is a core specialty. The founder has performed over 2,000 mammoplasties over 18 years. Patients can choose breast augmentation using traditional implants or fat injection. The clinic also performs breast lifts and breast reduction surgeries.
The facial surgery department covers reconstructive and aesthetic improvements:
- Rhinoplasty and septoplasty for nose reshaping or breathing correction
- Blepharoplasty to remove excess skin from the upper and lower eyelids
- Bichectomy – a procedure to thin the cheeks by removing buccal fat pads
- Rhytidoplasty – also known as a face and neck lift for rejuvenation
Frontoplasty is also available to lift the forehead and eyebrows. This helps reduce lines around the eyes.
Specialized Medical Technology
The clinic uses a patented medical instrument for fat grafting procedures. This device processes and classifies extracted fat to select the most viable cells for reinjection. Better cell selection improves survival rates of grafted tissue in the glutes or breasts.
For fat extraction, the center uses tumescent liposuction alongside energy-based platforms. These technologies help reduce blood loss and bruising during recovery.
Services for International Patients
Ivan Santos Plastic Surgery treats international patients and provides support for Spanish-speaking inquiries. Patient coordinators help with communication between the surgical team and visitors. Staff also assist with coordinating the surgical journey in Bogotá.
