Recovery & Aftercare (Managed by iMedara)

Most patients stay in Colombia for about 15–21 days after surgery for proper follow-up and recovery. The first two weeks are focused on rest and controlled mobility, while light walking is encouraged to promote circulation.

iMedara coordinates a complete aftercare experience, including:

Liposuction

(Lipo 360°)

Lipo 360° refines the waistline, abdomen, and flanks in a single, harmonious procedure. By gently removing localized fat, your surgeon sculpts a more defined contour and accentuates your natural curves.

At iMedara, specialists use advanced systems such as Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (UAL) and Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) to achieve uniform fat removal while preserving tissue integrity and promoting faster recovery.

The result is a sleeker, more fluid silhouette that enhances the outcome of your tummy tuck.

For certain bodies might be.

Muscle Plication (Diastasis Recti Repair)

Pregnancy or significant weight changes can separate the vertical abdominal muscles, creating a soft or bulging midsection. Through muscle plication, your surgeon delicately sutures these muscles back together, rebuilding the internal “corset” that supports posture and core stability.

This step not only flattens and strengthens the abdomen, but also helps relieve back discomfort and improve functional strength allowing you to stand taller, breathe deeper, and move with confidence.

Mini or Extended Tummy Tuck

The extent of your abdominoplasty depends on your skin elasticity and how much correction you need.

A Mini Tummy Tuck targets the lower abdomen below the navel ideal for patients with mild skin laxity or small postpartum changes.

An Extended Tummy Tuck addresses excess tissue across the entire midsection and lower back, achieving full circumferential tightening and contour enhancement.

Your surgeon will guide you through the best option based on your anatomy and recovery goals, ensuring a result that looks balanced and naturally sculpted from every angle.

Umbilicoplasty (Belly Button Reconstruction)

The belly button is a subtle yet defining aesthetic point of the abdomen. Through neoumbilicoplasty, surgeons recreate or reposition the navel to achieve a natural, youthful shape and placement.

This procedure enhances the harmony of your results giving your abdomen a refined finish that looks entirely your own. iMedara’s partner clinics perform this technique with minimal discomfort, often as a quick, in-office step during the final stages of recovery.

Gluteal or Hip Fat Transfer (Optional)

For patients seeking a balanced hourglass shape, autologous fat transfer offers natural enhancement using your body’s own purified fat.

Fat removed during liposuction is processed and strategically reinjected into the gluteal or hip area, adding volume where it enhances overall proportion.

When performed with Gluteal Vibra-Lipo-Filling, the technique allows for precise, even fat distribution, improving take-rate and durability of results.

The outcome is soft, organic curvature no implants, just the art of your own body reshaped with intention and care.
