Dr. Andrés Pérez Nieto – Specialized Plastic Surgery (Dr. Face)

Dr. Andrés Pérez Nieto – Specialized Plastic Surgery, also known as Dr. Face, is a private medical center in Bogotá, Colombia. The practice operates from the Santa Ana Medical Center, where it has dedicated consulting and surgery rooms. Dr. Andrés Pérez Nieto leads the clinic with around 30 years of international surgical experience.

Accreditations and Professional Standings

The clinic holds several international and national certifications that verify its surgical standards. These memberships and accreditations include:

• International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS)
• American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
• Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery (SCCP)
• Ibero-Latin American Federation of Plastic Surgery (FILACP)

These affiliations mean the practice follows globally recognized safety protocols and ethical guidelines.

Facial Plastic Surgery and Rejuvenation

The practice specializes in facial rejuvenation using a signature technique called the Hammock Facelift. This method focuses on the SMAS, the primary structural support of the face. By vertically repositioning deep soft tissues, the procedure aims for natural results without a "pulled" appearance.

The clinic offers several specialized facial procedures:

• Mini Hammock Lift: A deep plane approach using short incisions hidden in front of the ears.
• Extended Hammock Lift: A deep plane technique for marked sagging of the jaw and neck.
• Lower Blepharoplasty: Uses the Fat Sliding Technique to correct under-eye bags while preserving volume.
• Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty: A precise method to reshape the nose with reduced trauma to surrounding tissues.
• Lip Lift: A surgical procedure to shorten the space between the nose and upper lip.

Dr. Pérez Nieto trained at Manhattan Eye and Ear Hospital in New York. He also completed advanced training at the University of Illinois.

Regenerative Bio-Surgery

The clinic pioneers regenerative treatments using adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). This approach, known as stem cell lipofilling, uses the patient's own purified fat to restore volume and improve skin texture. Unlike synthetic fillers, this method provides live growth factors for long-term tissue health.

The clinic uses two distinct modalities for fat transfer:

• MicroFat: Injected with microcannulas to fill deep furrows, such as nasolabial folds and sunken cheeks.
• NanoFat: A liquid fat fraction rich in stem cells, applied with ultra-fine needles for fine lines and scars.

Both techniques can be combined in a single session. This addresses volume loss and surface imperfections at the same time.

Specialized Body and Breast Procedures

Beyond facial surgery, the center provides reconstructive and aesthetic body procedures. Specialists perform various abdominoplasty techniques and body contouring using advanced laser energy to liquefy fat. The clinic also handles breast surgeries, including augmentation, reduction, and breast implant removal.

Technologies and Safety Protocols

Dr. Pérez Nieto uses a structured fat processing protocol to ensure the highest purity of transferred cells. This process includes centrifugation, filtration, and decantation before fat injection. All surgical procedures take place in high-complexity operating rooms at the Santa Ana Medical Center. A team of anesthesiologists and nurses supervises every stage of surgery.
