Specialization and Surgical Techniques

Dr. Mariño performs aesthetic and reconstructive procedures for the face, breasts, and body. He uses 3D simulation for breast augmentation to help patients visualize results before surgery. Additionally, he uses the double–plane technique – a method that places the implant partly under the muscle for natural appearance and stability.

Dr. Mariño treats patients requiring biopolymer extraction, which involves removing synthetic materials injected into the body. He uses both open and closed surgical approaches depending on material distribution. Because results vary based on tissue migration and skin quality, he evaluates each case individually. Dr. Mariño also performs body contouring using thigh and calf implants.
