Dr. Ángeles Esmeral

Facial rejuvenation is approached here as restoration of structure—not just skin. At Dra Ángeles Esmeral in Medellín, Dr. Maria De Los Angeles Esmeral Marín leads the clinic’s Deep Plane Facelift concept for face and neck rejuvenation, with the procedure often extending to deep plane neck lifting. The clinic frames this technique as a high-precision intervention that keeps the skin’s blood supply intact to support tissue vitality and recovery. Her background is presented as combining reconstructive surgery with aesthetic surgery, which the clinic links to careful navigation of facial nerve and vascular anatomy during Deep Plane Facelift work. In practice, the offered surgical menu at Dra Ángeles Esmeral covers both aesthetic and reconstructive needs, including facelift procedures, breast lift (mastopexy), and body contouring operations. For international patients, the clinic’s medical tourism model includes a consultation with the anesthesiologist before surgery, focusing on medical history, allergies, and anesthesia concerns, followed by continuous postoperative support.
