Hyaluronic Acid in Barranquilla
Hyaluronic acid, applied to specific points on the face, improves contour and proportions without surgery. The goal is not to transform you: it is to enhance what you already have.
What is hyaluronic acid and what is it used for on the face?
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that our skin produces naturally and that decreases over the years. As an injectable treatment, it is applied to specific areas of the face to restore volume, define contours, and improve deep hydration.
Its most common applications: shaping and proportioning cheekbones, chin, and jawline, enhancing lips in volume, shape, and hydration, and softening grooves such as under-eye hollows or the fold that runs from the nose to the mouth.
It also allows nose contouring without surgery, a procedure known as non-surgical nose contouring. When the case requires a structural change, the path is surgical: ultrasonic rhinoplasty.

About Dr. Eliana Garcés
I am Dr. Eliana Garcés, a plastic surgeon in Barranquilla. I see aesthetics as an investment in well-being: surgery and regenerative medicine work together to achieve real, long-lasting results.
Injectables are part of my daily practice, and part of my experience in this field is published in international scientific journals.
Applying a filler may seem simple, but it requires in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy. That surgeon’s perspective is what I bring to each application: the judgment to know how much, where, and above all, when not to.
How Hyaluronic Acid Treatment Works
Assessment
Evaluation of the face, skin, medical history, and expectations. This is where we determine whether filler is the right tool for your case.
Treatment Plan
Areas, product, and quantities are selected, starting conservatively. If there is accumulated product from previous treatments, the plan may begin with dissolution.
Application
In-office, with medical technique and original product. The session is brief and you can resume your routine promptly.
Follow-up
Your face’s response is evaluated over time and a thoughtful decision is made whether to complement or maintain.
Fillers with a Natural Approach: Starting Conservatively
Many of the complications seen today with fillers come from excess: faces inflated by quantities that accumulated over the years. My approach is the opposite. I apply hyaluronic acid to specific points and in moderate amounts, starting conservatively.
Each person metabolizes the product differently. That is why I evaluate each patient’s response before deciding whether more application is appropriate, and I follow up over time, not just on the day of application.
Natural results are trending, and I believe that is right: the goal is to enhance the beauty each face already has, not to change it. Part of my experience with injectables is published in international scientific journals.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Not every aesthetic medicine consultation ends in an application, and that is also part of medical judgment.
You are a good candidate if you want to define contours, restore lost volume, or enhance your lips, with realistic expectations and seeking a subtle result. If what you expect is a facial transformation, filler is not the right tool: during the evaluation we determine whether there is a better option for your case.
Do you have excess product from previous applications? This is an increasingly common situation. In those cases, the recommendation may be to dissolve first and restore the starting point before considering applying more.
