El Tiempo ↗Who operates on you
Dr. Rodrigo Montoya practices in El Poblado, Medellín, with over 35 years of surgical experience. Each procedure has its own reference technique: for rhinoplasty, a closed technique with no visible external scar; for breast augmentation, breast lift, abdominoplasty, and breast reduction, his own inverted-suture method, with the knot buried deep for a finer scar.
Also a painter and photographer, he applies that same trained eye for proportion and light to every surgical decision: natural results, adjusted to each patient's anatomy.
