Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

The clinic offers a broad range of surgical options for the face, breasts, and body. Each patient receives an individualized evaluation to determine the best surgical approach. The surgical department covers several key areas:

• Breast Surgery: Mastopexy with or without implants, breast reduction, and augmentation.
• Body Contouring: 360-degree liposculpture with fat transfer and abdominal definition.
• Facial Surgery: Rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty for eyelid rejuvenation, otoplasty, and facelifts.
• Gynecomastia: Treatment for male breast enlargement via gland removal or liposuction.
• Corrective Care: Biopolymer removal and secondary surgeries to fix previous complications.

For breast procedures, the clinic offers explantation and reconstruction for patients who want to remove implants permanently. Tummy tucks preserve and reposition the navel. Surgeons also use ultrasound and vibroliposuction during body contouring to remove localized fat efficiently.

The clinic offers a specialized Mommy Makeover – a personalized combination of a breast lift and lipoabdominoplasty. If needed, patients may stay 1–2 days after surgery to recover safely.

Aesthetic Medicine and Skin Quality

Non-surgical treatments are available for patients seeking facial rejuvenation with minimal recovery time. These procedures improve skin quality and adjust facial expressions without invasive surgery. Available treatments include:

• Botox: Used for forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, and neck contouring.
• Bio-stimulation: Injections with Radiesse or Sculptra to support collagen formation.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Used for lip enhancement, under-eye care, and facial contouring.
• Retraction: A radiofrequency-based treatment that tightens skin and improves texture.

Because Retraction technology requires deep anatomical knowledge, only plastic surgeons use it at this clinic. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is also available for natural skin bio-stimulation.

International Patient Services

Zoul Medical Group treats many international patients, including those traveling from the United States. The clinic provides virtual consultations for initial assessments and post-operative follow-up. This allows patients to return home while staying under medical supervision.

All patients receive recovery support to improve surgical outcomes. This includes specialized massages, high-technology compression garments, and nutritional guidance. The medical team also assists with scar treatments and home nursing care when required. Staff communicate with patients in Spanish.
