6 Surgeons in Medellin

Ordered by whether the surgeon can be identified independently of us, then whether that identity is disputed, then the verification level shown on the card, then how early the profile was claimed, then surname. Payment does not enter the order. Between claim date and surname, the better-known surgeon comes first: patient reviews, how often the name is searched, public following, an encyclopedia entry and published research. Being better known is not being better. How we verify every surgeon

Verification is not a filter. Every surgeon we list in Medellin with an active listing appears here, verified or not: verification changes the label on the card and the position in this order, never whether someone is on the page. Nobody can pay to appear, and nobody is removed for not paying. A surgeon can remove their own listing at any time after confirming a one-time code. It takes effect immediately, is reversible for 48 hours, and after that the profile is blocked from being listed again. We also deactivate a listing when a consent is rejected, when a correction ticket resolves that way, or on an editorial decision.

Request Quotes

Every surgeon listed here was added by us, not by applying: verified surgeons are listed first. No surgeon can pay for placement. A name leaves this list when the surgeon asks us to remove it — we verify that request by email or phone before acting — or when a profile is blacklisted, which permanently blocks it from every automated listing. Removal is not for sale either. Roster read on 2026-10-12. Of the 6 surgeons on this page, 0 are independently verified today — the rest are listed. How we build these lists.

About Deep Plane Facelift in Medellin

Medellin in Colombia is an established destination for deep plane facelift surgery. The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial structures beneath the SMAS layer for natural-looking, long-lasting results.1 Our directory lists 6 surgeons in Medellin with credentials and before/after photos.

Medellín, often called the "City of Eternal Spring" due to its consistent mild climate, is emerging as a compelling destination for a deep plane facelift. Colombia boasts a well-regarded healthcare system, regulated by the Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social and INVIMA, ensuring medical standards. Facial plastic surgery practices are concentrated in upscale neighborhoods like El Poblado, particularly around avenues such as Carrera 43A and Calle 7, and also in the tranquil Laureles district. Surgeons here often hold certifications from the Sociedad Colombiana de Cirugía Plástica Estética y Reconstructiva (SCCP) and frequently have international training or academic affiliations, providing a robust foundation for specialized procedures. This market distinguishes itself through a blend of highly skilled professionals and modern surgical facilities.

This typically includes the surgeon's fee, facility costs, anesthesia, and essential post-operative follow-up appointments. While specific percentage breakdowns vary, all-inclusive packages covering these core elements are common. A typical package duration might entail a 7-10 day stay for the procedure and initial recovery.

Travel for your deep plane facelift typically involves arriving at José María Córdova International Airport (MDE), located outside the city in Rionegro. Transfers to medical districts like El Poblado usually take 45-60 minutes, often via dedicated taxi services or private transport. For citizens of many countries, including the US, Canada, and most of Europe, a visa is not required for stays up to 90 days. The city's consistent "eternal spring" climate, with average temperatures around 22-25°C year-round, makes any season suitable for recovery, as the lack of extreme heat or cold helps minimize swelling and discomfort. Recommended accommodation neighborhoods include El Poblado, known for its amenities and proximity to clinics, and Laureles, offering a more residential and peaceful atmosphere. Gentle recovery walks can be enjoyed along the tree-lined avenues of El Poblado, particularly near Parque Lleras or through the serene paths of Parques del Río, which offers a refreshing, green space ideal for light post-operative activity without strenuous exertion.

DEEPPLANE™ Review Council

DEEPPLANE™ editorial standard

— A surgeon is named only when one signs— Per-Article Review Status— Published Standards

The DEEPPLANE™ Review Council is the name under which DEEPPLANE™ publishes its editorial standard; it is not a standing board of named surgeons. Our guides are written and edited in-house to that standard. Review is recorded per article, not claimed for the site as a whole — a guide names a surgeon as its reviewer only when that surgeon has signed it, and says so plainly when none has.
