Facial Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics

The clinic offers surgical options to improve facial harmony and reduce signs of aging. Each procedure preserves the patient's natural expression. Ritidoplasty (facelift) repositions facial tissues for a rejuvenated appearance.

Patients can choose from several facial contouring and lifting techniques:

• Endoscopic facelift and mini facelifts
• Blepharoplasty (eyelid correction) for functional or aesthetic needs
• Frontoplasty (forehead lift) and otoplasty (ear surgery)
• Mentoplasty (chin surgery) and bichectomy (cheek fat removal)
• Liposuction for the chin, neck, and jaw areas

Otolaryngology and Functional Nasal Surgery

Medical treatments focus on breathing obstructions and sleep disorders. The clinic specializes in rhinoplasty, including open, closed, and revision techniques. These procedures often combine aesthetic reshaping with functional corrections to improve airflow.

Specialists treat conditions affecting the nasal passage and sleep quality:

• Septoplasty to correct nasal septum deviation and obstruction
• Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) to treat snoring disorders
• Sleep apnea management for children and adults
• Turbinate reduction to improve airflow through the nose

Advanced Planning and Technology

The clinic uses Crisalix technology for patient consultations and surgical planning. This tool helps specialists review treatment goals and manage expectations before surgery. The software allows the team to plan complex facial reconstructions more accurately.

International Patient Services

The clinic supports international patients through dedicated coordination. Patients from the United States or Puerto Rico can access financing via the HEVA platform. The application process is completed directly through a mobile phone.

Care coordination includes detailed postoperative guidance for safe healing. Specialists provide specific medical instructions for the recovery period. This support helps patients from abroad manage recovery before traveling home.
