Dr. Alexander Luján
Dr. Alexander Luján develops personalized plastic surgery plans in Medellín. Consultation starts by listening to the patient's goals, reviewing medical history and connecting expectations with anatomy and realistic possibilities.

What to review when selecting a surgeon
Safety plan
Facility, anesthesia, tests, risks and emergency protocols should be explained in advance.
Continuity of care
Know who is available during recovery and when your follow-up appointments occur.
Body and breast procedures
Consultation may cover liposculpture, tummy tuck, fat transfer and breast surgery. Combining procedures is not automatically appropriate; health, surgical time and recovery are evaluated.
Facial procedures
Rhinoplasty, facelift and blepharoplasty are planned in relation to the entire face. The technique that worked for someone else may not be right for you.
What happens during consultation
Listen
Discuss your goals, concerns and personal priorities.
Evaluate
Review health history, anatomy, tissue quality and risk factors.
Explain
Compare options, scars, recovery, limitations and total costs.
Plan
Allow time for questions and build a plan without pressure.
Read patient experiences at the source
Read the current reviews on Google, including their dates and context. A review of the practice does not establish a result for every procedure or patient.

How do I verify a plastic surgeon in Medellín?
Review specialty training, professional registration, procedure-specific experience, surgical facility and how clearly the surgeon explains risks and follow-up.
Can the first consultation be virtual?
Yes. It can help review goals, medical history and travel logistics, but an in-person examination is still required before surgery.
What should I prepare for the consultation?
Bring a list of medical conditions, medications, allergies and prior surgeries. Reference photos may support the conversation but cannot guarantee an identical result.
When will I receive an exact quote?
A personalized quote is prepared after the surgeon understands the procedure and requirements, including facility, anesthesia, supplies and follow-up.
What if surgery is not recommended for me?
A responsible consultation may recommend postponing surgery, addressing a health condition, adjusting expectations or considering another approach.

Ask for the professional's full name, specialty training and registration details, then check them independently. Colombia's ReTHUS health-professional registry is a starting point, not a ranking of surgeons. Registration does not establish every claimed membership or a guarantee of results.
