From Alberta,
to Medellín, to transformed.

A year later and I'm still thrilled with my results. The whole process was flawless — from the virtual consultation to the follow-up back in Canada. Dra. Angela is exceptional.

Ivama R.
Edmonton, AB — Liposuction + BBL

I was nervous about traveling for surgery — but every single step was handled. The recovery house was incredible. I felt safer there than I would have in any Canadian clinic.

Isa M.
Edmonton, AB — Liposuction 360°

The level of care was beyond anything I expected. Everything was included and handled for me — recovery house, post-op follow-up, transport. I felt completely safe the entire time.

Andrea L.
Calgary, AB — Liposuction 360°

As a Colombian living in Calgary, I had family in Medellín — but Dra. Angela's level of care and professionalism was beyond anything I expected. She listens. She's precise. She's exceptional.

Answers from the coordinator and surgeon.

The questions we hear most from international patients — honest answers before you pick up the phone.

Procedure combinations

Can I combine lipo with abdominoplasty?
Yes — liposuction combined with abdominoplasty (lipoabdominoplasty) is one of our most frequent combinations.
What are the popular combinations?
Mommy Makeover (liposuction + abdominoplasty + breast lift), Lipo 360° + fat transfer to glutes (BBL), and Rhinoplasty + complementary facial procedures.
How long after childbirth can I have surgery?
Ideally after at least 6 months, once your weight has stabilized and breastfeeding has finished.

Payment

How does the payment process work?
A reservation deposit is required to lock in the surgery date, and the full balance is due before the procedure.
What payment methods do you accept?
Bank transfer, cash, and credit card (subject to availability). We do not accept cryptocurrency.
Do you offer financing or payment plans?
We do not offer direct in-house financing. You are welcome to arrange credit with your own bank or lender.
