Clinical Focus and Surgical Techniques

The surgeon develops body-contouring plans that prioritize recovery and weight stability. Her approach combines surgical intervention with anthropometric analysis and BMI monitoring to support patient results.

Laser Lipolysis: This technique uses laser energy to extract localized fat while promoting skin retraction during the healing process.
Abdominoplasty: The procedure includes the surgical repair of rectus diastasis – the separation of abdominal muscles – often combined with laser technology for contour definition.
Otoplasty: Dr. Vanegas performs this ear reshaping surgery via a posterior approach. The procedure typically lasts two hours with a five-day recovery period.
Facial Implants: Dr. Vanegas performs mentoplasty – chin surgery – and cheek implant surgeries using materials designed to integrate with the body.
Calf Implants: This surgery involves a 5 cm incision through the posterior knee fold, with an average recovery time of 10 to 12 days.
Breast Surgery: Dr. Vanegas performs augmentations, reductions, and lifts. She typically uses an approach through the lower areola to minimize visible scarring.
Blepharoplasty: The specialist performs eyelid surgery as an outpatient procedure under local or general anesthesia.
