Dr. Lorena Isabella Tejada Ramos

Dr. Lorena Isabella Tejada Ramos is a Specialist in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery based at Centro Médico Paitilla, one of Panama City's most respected private hospitals and a cornerstone of the city's growing medical-tourism infrastructure. With 14 years of focused experience in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, Dr. Tejada Ramos offers a full portfolio of aesthetic procedures including rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, breast augmentation, liposuction, abdominoplasty, and facial rejuvenation. She is a FILACP-affiliated surgeon (Federación Ibero-Latinoamericana de Cirugía Plástica) and a member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the Sociedad Panameña de Cirugía Plástica. Panama City has established itself as a leading destination for cosmetic surgery medical tourism in Latin America, combining competitive procedure costs, board-certified surgeons trained to international standards, English-language services, and excellent post-operative recovery facilities. Dr. Tejada Ramos is at the centre of this ecosystem at Paitilla, one of the hospitals most frequently chosen by international patients seeking elective aesthetic procedures.

Dr. Tejada Ramos completed her MD degree and went on to a formal residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, earning her specialist qualification in a program recognised by Panamanian medical authorities. Her FILACP membership affirms adherence to the Ibero-Latin American federation's standards for plastic surgery training and ethics—standards that align closely with those of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the ISAPS. Her training encompassed both reconstructive surgery (post-trauma, post-oncologic, congenital anomalies) and aesthetic surgery, providing the broad base needed to approach body contouring, facial surgery, and post-weight loss recontouring with both artistry and surgical safety. She maintains her skills through ongoing continuing medical education with ISAPS and participation in national surgical conferences organised by the Sociedad Panameña de Cirugía Plástica.

Dr. Tejada Ramos's surgical repertoire spans facial, breast, and body procedures. Facial work includes rhinoplasty (both primary and revision), blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelid), and comprehensive facial rejuvenation approaches that may combine surgical lifting with minimally invasive adjuncts. Breast procedures include augmentation with implant selection guidance tailored to patient anatomy and goals. Body contouring encompasses liposuction of multiple areas (abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms), abdominoplasty (including mini and full tummy tuck), and post-weight loss recontouring procedures such as body lift and arm lift. Reconstructive work covers post-mastectomy breast reconstruction, scar revision, and correction of congenital or traumatic deformities. All procedures are performed within Centro Médico Paitilla's accredited surgical facilities, with anaesthesiology and post-operative care teams experienced in supporting international patients.

Dr. Tejada Ramos participates in the professional activities of ISAPS and the Sociedad Panameña de Cirugía Plástica, engaging with the latest international evidence on surgical techniques, patient safety in aesthetic surgery, and outcomes in body contouring. She contributes to continuing medical education within Panama's plastic surgery community and stays current with advances in fat grafting, implant technology, and minimally invasive facial rejuvenation. Her clinical interest in post-weight loss body recontouring reflects Panama City's growing volume of bariatric surgery patients seeking staged body transformation procedures.

Panama City is one of the most accessible and cost-effective cosmetic surgery destinations in the Western Hemisphere. Centro Médico Paitilla is well-equipped to support the full medical-tourism journey for international patients: pre-operative virtual consultations, surgical scheduling, recovery facilities, and post-operative follow-up communications with patients' home physicians. Dr. Tejada Ramos conducts consultations and pre-operative discussions in both Spanish and English, ensuring that patients from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere in the Americas can participate fully in planning their procedures. Panama's dollarised economy eliminates currency risk for North American patients, and Tocumen International Airport offers direct connections to dozens of major cities. Post-surgical recovery in Panama City can be arranged through the hospital's partner accommodation services, allowing patients to recuperate comfortably before flying home.

Dr. Tejada Ramos is recognised within Panama's plastic surgery community for her aesthetic precision and commitment to patient safety. Her dual membership in ISAPS and the Sociedad Panameña de Cirugía Plástica reflects engagement with both global aesthetic surgery standards and local professional governance. As a FILACP member, she upholds the ethics and technical standards of the leading federation for plastic surgeons across Ibero-Latin America, contributing to the reputation of Panamanian plastic surgery on the international stage.
