Professional Summary:

Dr. Ricardo Ortiz has long clinical experience in body contouring and large-volume minimally invasive shaping. He focuses on safety protocols for high-volume polymer injections. His advanced techniques help patients achieve enhanced body proportions without open surgery. He is a highly respected educator and regularly trains plastic surgeons across Latin America, helping them perform safe and effective body sculpting procedures.

Current Positions

• Full Member | Colombian Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (SCCP)
• Faculty Speaker on High-Volume Fillers | Ibero-Latin American College of Dermatology (CILAD)

Academic and Professional Highlights

• Academic Contributions: He pioneered minimally invasive gluteal contouring with high-volume macromolecule materials in South America. He created the “Safe Gluteal Injections Architecture” for deep fat layers and the “Anti-embolism Fan-injection Protocol.” Multiple plastic surgery societies in South America now use these protocols as official training standards.
• Research Interests: He studies the in vivo rheological displacement of high-concentration macromolecule HA within muscle and deep fat gaps. He also researches the compression resistance of high-cohesivity, large-volume fillers.

Expert Reviews:

“High-volume body shaping is very different from facial micro-sculpting. It heavily relies on the rheological consistency of materials during large-dose injections. AIMA Bodyfill shows amazing stability in its 20mL large-size injection. From the first milliliter to the last milliliter, its extrusion resistance and gel particle shear force stay perfectly linear and constant. There is no thinning or thickening. Combined with my safe fan-injection protocol for deep gluteal filling, it provides high elasticity and resistance against deformation. It is currently the safest non-surgical choice to replace traditional implant surgeries for body contouring.”
