Body Contouring and Breast Surgery

The clinic specializes in body sculpting and breast procedures. Dr. Castañeda performs several body contouring operations:

• MILA – a minimally invasive lipoabdominoplasty technique for abdominal sculpting
• Lipo 360 and HD liposuction for localized fat removal
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) using fat transfer
• Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and post-bariatric body contouring
• Mommy Makeover packages combining multiple procedures in one session

Breast surgery options include augmentation, mastopexy (breast lift), and gynecomastia surgery for men. The practice uses B-Lite and Motiva implants. These brands offer different weight and texture options to fit individual needs.

Reconstructive Surgery Specialization

Reconstructive care is central to the practice. It addresses both congenital and acquired conditions. Dr. Castañeda treats patients needing reconstruction after accidents or trauma. He also performs surgery for cleft lip (labio leporino) and peripheral nerve conditions.

Breast reconstruction after mastectomy is a primary focus. Dr. Castañeda previously established a dedicated breast reconstruction clinic for cancer survivors. This service treats physical restoration as a key step in recovery from breast cancer.

Facial Rejuvenation and Skin Care

The practice offers surgical and non-surgical facial procedures. These address asymmetry and signs of aging. Surgical options include rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and Deep Plane facelifts.

For patients seeking alternatives to surgery, the clinic provides several aesthetic treatments:

• Botulinum toxin (Botox) for forehead and brow lifts
• Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers for volume restoration
• Collagen biostimulators to improve skin elasticity
• HydraFacial treatments for skin health

Laser technology treats skin texture issues and scarring. The CO2 laser resurfaces skin to address acne scars, sun damage, and fine lines. It also improves the appearance of keloid scars.

Specialized Medical Technology

The clinic uses specific platforms for non-invasive body remodeling and skin improvement. Key equipment includes:

• Venus Legacy® – a platform for non-invasive body contouring and skin tightening
• CO2 Laser – used for precise skin resurfacing and scar removal

This equipment helps patients address skin texture concerns without surgical downtime.

Care for International Patients

Dr. Romel Castañeda Zigala creates personalized treatment plans for international patients. The clinic provides specific scar-care guidance after surgery. Patients receive instructions on minimizing scar appearance and managing recovery at home. Follow-up communication ensures safe healing after returning to their home country.
