Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation increases breast size and improves shape through silicone or saline implants. Ideal for women seeking proportionate curves, post-pregnancy restoration, or reconstructive needs. Dr. Altamira customizes implant selection and placement to achieve natural, long-lasting results that complement individual body types.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits from areas like abdomen, thighs, and neck. Using traditional or VASER techniques, this procedure sculpts the body by targeting diet-resistant fat pockets while maintaining skin elasticity and natural contours for improved proportions.
Facelift Procedure
Facelift surgery addresses sagging skin and deep creases by tightening underlying tissues and removing excess skin. This comprehensive approach restores youthful facial contours, particularly around the jawline and neck, for patients seeking significant but natural-looking anti-aging improvements.
Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery corrects drooping upper lids and under-eye bags by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure rejuvenates the eye area, improving both appearance and, in some cases, peripheral vision while maintaining natural facial expressions.
Chin Augmentation
Chin augmentation improves facial balance through implant placement. This procedure strengthens weak jawlines, enhances profile definition, and creates better facial symmetry by using biocompatible materials that integrate naturally with existing bone structure.
