Clinical focus and techniques

At the clinic, the work spans both operative Plastic Surgery and aesthetic medicine procedures, with planning tailored to the indication (including implant positioning and reconstructive options).

• Breast augmentation using cohesive silicone gel implants placed under the breast gland, under the pectoral muscle, under the fascia, or in a dual-plane approach as indicated.
• Facelift, repositioning skin, muscles, and fat tissues of the face and cervical region; described as typically lasting 3–6 hours under general anesthesia in a hospital setting.
• Blepharoplasty to remove excess fat, skin, and/or muscle in upper and lower eyelids to rejuvenate and “clear the gaze.”
• Abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and fat of the abdomen, and in women after one or more pregnancies, to reposition and tighten the rectus abdominal muscles.
• Otoplasty, described as correcting ear angle, orientation, and natural folds; offered from early childhood, with local anesthesia and sedation when appropriate, or general anesthesia when needed.
• Facial and body fat transfer using fat transfer between anatomical regions to restore volume, shape, and even reconstructive defects.
• PRP therapy (Plasma rico en plaquetas) using autologous platelet-rich plasma prepared from the patient’s blood, described as minimally invasive and outpatient, with results progressing over time and a recommendation of at least 3 sessions.
• Facial fillers (Rellenos faciales) using biocompatible substances such as hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite to fill wrinkles and add volume; described as producing immediate results lasting 8–12 months.
• Botulinum toxin type A injections in an outpatient setting, described as taking about 20–30 minutes.
• Chemical and mechanical peel (Peeling químico y mecánico) performed outpatient using chemical agents or controlled mechanical abrasion to exfoliate skin and treat superficial wrinkles, acne signs, and some skin spots.
• Reconstructive surgery pathways, including reconstruction after mastectomy using local/regional flaps, micro-surgical flaps, or implants/expanders depending on patient factors.
