Drive to connect

Liliana’s journey is one of heart, grit, and an unshakable drive to connect with people. For over a decade, she thrived in the high-stakes world of medical administration at Fundación Cardioinfantil, where her knack for understanding patients’ unspoken needs turned her into a quiet legend. Colleagues marveled at how she could sit with a worried family, listen to their fears about a child’s heart surgery costs, and then weave through insurance red tape with the precision of a kickboxer landing a perfect strike—leaving families relieved and cared for. Her office was a revolving door of gratitude: patients would drop by with teary smiles, clutching photos of their recovered loved ones, because Liliana didn’t just process claims—she felt their stories and fought for them like they were her own.
 

Curious mind

But her restless, curious mind—honed by years of digging into medical data and innovating billing solutions—yearned for more than administrative victories. When she met Dr. JC Alvarez, a visionary plastic surgeon with a passion for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, she saw a chance to leap from the desk to the frontline of patient care. Leaving her prestigious role in Bogotá, Liliana joined AI O2 Hyperpower in Miami, drawn by the promise of blending cutting-edge technology with proven treatments to revolutionize anti-aging protocols and postsurgical recovery. Her research-oriented spirit lit up as she dove into the science of HBOT, exploring novel applications and fine-tuning protocols with the same tenacity she once brought to a morning run or a sparring session.
Now, Liliana’s days are spent engaging patients with her warm, intuitive touch—whether it’s calming a nervous athlete pre-treatment or brainstorming with Dr. Alvarez on the latest cellular rejuvenation techniques. Her love for dogs keeps her grounded (she’s often seen sneaking treats to a patient’s pup), while her kickboxing grit fuels her relentless pursuit of innovation. With Liliana on the team, JC Alvarez Plastic Surgery isn’t just a business—it’s a mission where empathy meets pioneering science, and every patient feels like family.

She understands that true beauty is a blend of science, artistry, and well-being. By integrating advanced injectables, regenerative medicine, and holistic post-surgical therapies, she helps patients achieve natural, transformative results.
