Dr. Félix Durán is a plastic surgery practice in Bogotá, Colombia. The clinic focuses on facial and body aesthetic procedures. Core services include abdominoplasty, liposuction, gluteoplasty, and breast augmentation. Facial options include rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, and ritidoplasty. Patients can also book non-surgical treatments like Botox and Ultherapy.
A key differentiator is the Fast Recovery approach. This method aims for shorter surgeries with less bruising and swelling. It uses low-pressure syringe liposuction and laser technology. Dr. Durán has over 20 years of experience and has treated around 25,000 patients. He trained at the National University of Colombia. He is a member of the Sociedad Colombiana de Cirugía Plástica.
