She completed her medical training at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Rio de Janeiro and the well-regarded Instituto Ivo Pitanguy, a lineage that shapes her precise, anatomy-first surgical approach. This background places her within a distinguished school of Latin American aesthetic surgery.
The deep plane facelift is a technique that repositions facial tissue at a deeper anatomical level than traditional lifts. Rather than pulling on the skin, this method works beneath the muscle layer to reposition sagging tissue where it originally rested.
Dr. Pinedo describes her guiding principle as elevating beauty from within the deeper structures of the face. This reflects the modern understanding that facial aging is driven by descent of deep tissue, not simply by loose skin.
Her clinical focus extends beyond the face. Dr. Stephania Pinedo also performs the Mommy Makeover, a combined body-contouring protocol she has designed around high safety standards for women seeking abdominal and breast restoration.
Established in the north of Bogotá at the Teleport Business building, her practice serves both local and international patients seeking advanced facial and body procedures. The clinic's location places it within one of the city's modern professional districts.
Dr. Pinedo is recognized for prioritizing natural-looking outcomes over dramatic, overdone results. This aligns with a broader shift in aesthetic surgery toward subtle, harmonious rejuvenation that respects each patient's individual features.
Her surgical education emphasizes the importance of understanding the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of tissue beneath the skin that supports the face). Working with this layer is central to how the deep plane technique achieves its durability.
As a member of the Sociedad Colombiana de Cirugía Plástica Estética y Reconstructiva, Dr. Stephania Pinedo maintains professional standing within Colombia's organized plastic surgery community. Membership in a recognized national society reflects adherence to established professional standards.
Recovery is a subject she addresses openly with her patients, setting realistic expectations for the healing timeline following a deep plane facelift. Careful post-operative guidance is part of her patient-centered approach.
For women aged 55 to 65 considering facial rejuvenation, Dr. Pinedo offers procedures aimed at restoring firmness and definition to the jawline, midface, and neck. Her work targets the specific patterns of facial aging that traditional treatments often fail to correct.
Dr. Stephania Pinedo communicates with an international audience, sharing her work and philosophy through her Instagram presence at @doctorapinedo. This visibility allows prospective patients abroad to learn about her approach before traveling.
