About

Rigorous training, personal care.

I am a plastic surgeon trained at the University of Buenos Aires, with comprehensive training in aesthetic and reconstructive surgery and further specialisation in aesthetic medicine.

I began my training in general surgery. My residency in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery then gave me something I rely on in every consultation: judgement. Reconstructive surgery, where every millimetre matters, teaches you to plan carefully and to respect each person's anatomy.

I bring that same precision to aesthetic surgery, with a particular interest in breast surgery, facial surgery and body contouring.

Procedures

Areas of practice

Every recommendation is made in consultation, after listening to what each patient is looking for and assessing what is possible, safe and in proportion for their anatomy.

  1. Breast surgery

    Augmentation, reduction, lift and reconstruction, planned around each patient's proportions and tissues.

  2. Facial surgery

    Eyelid, nose and facial rejuvenation procedures that aim for harmony without changing your own expression.

  3. Body contouring

    Liposuction, abdominoplasty and body reshaping to refine the silhouette with anatomical judgement.

  4. Aesthetic medicine

    Botulinum toxin, fillers and skin quality treatments, medically indicated and carefully dosed.

  5. Reconstructive surgery

    Facial and nasal reconstruction after cancer resection, and treatment of trauma and burn sequelae.

Approach

The precision of what looks natural.

A good result does not draw attention. It simply feels like yours. That is why every plan begins with understanding the person, and only then choosing the technique.

  • Natural results

    Outcomes that suit each patient's face, body and story.

  • Precision

    Detailed planning and meticulous technique, learned in reconstructive surgery.

  • Support

    Clear information before you decide and direct follow-up after surgery.

The process

From the first consultation to follow-up

  1. First consultation

    An unhurried conversation to understand your goals, review your medical history and discuss realistic options.

  2. Planning

    A tailored plan, with pre-operative tests and a clear explanation of the technique, timings and aftercare.

  3. Procedure

    Performed in accredited facilities with a full surgical team.

  4. Follow-up

    Scheduled check-ups and direct contact throughout your recovery.

Testimonials

In my patients' words

Sharing my result after one year. And honestly, without looking after myself much (don't tell me off), I still love it, the work is beautiful. You understood exactly what I wanted: a well-defined waist and soft definition, which is still intact. My relationship with my body has changed so much. I love it.
Patient Mini abdominoplasty · one year later
Good morning, Doctor. I am sending you some pictures: some from 3 years ago, when I started losing weight, and some from now.

November 12, 2026 · Recovery

Recovering well is part of your surgery too

Surgery lasts a few hours; recovery lasts several weeks. What you do in those days shapes your result, and you do not have to go through them alone.

Beauty is not about looking like someone else

Many patients arrive at their consultation with a photo of someone else. My work begins by reminding you that the starting point, and the destination, is you.
