Cosmetic plastic surgeon

The Cosmetic Surgery Center Philippines is a dedicated cosmetic and plastic surgery practice located at Korben Place, 3rd Floor, 91 Roces Avenue corner Scout Tobias Street, Quezon City, Metro Manila. The practice specializes in aesthetic and reconstructive surgical procedures, serving both Filipino patients and international medical tourists seeking affordable, high-quality cosmetic surgery in the Philippines.

The Philippines has emerged as an increasingly popular destination for cosmetic and plastic surgery in Southeast Asia. The country offers a combination of internationally trained plastic surgeons, modern clinical facilities, English-speaking medical staff, and procedure costs that are significantly lower than comparable operations in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, or Singapore. This positions Philippine cosmetic surgery practices as attractive options for patients who want quality outcomes without the high price tags of Western markets.

The practice is staffed by board-certified plastic surgeons who have completed comprehensive training in both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. Many Filipino plastic surgeons undertake fellowship training overseas — in the United States, Europe, or Australia — before returning to practice in the Philippines, bringing international clinical standards and techniques to their local practice.

The clinic serves a diverse patient population including Filipino nationals, overseas Filipinos returning home for procedures, and foreign tourists who combine cosmetic surgery with leisure travel. Common motivations for choosing the Philippines for cosmetic surgery include the quality of care, English-speaking environment, affordability, and the opportunity to recover in a pleasant destination.

The Cosmetic Surgery Center Philippines offers a full range of cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures, spanning facial aesthetics, body contouring, and breast surgery.

Facial procedures include rhinoplasty (nose reshaping — both augmentation and reduction, including Asian rhinoplasty techniques commonly requested by Filipino and other Asian patients), blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery — both upper and lower eyelid correction), rhytidectomy (facelift for facial rejuvenation), brow lift, chin and cheek augmentation, and otoplasty (ear correction).

Breast surgery services include breast augmentation using silicone or saline implants, breast lift (mastopexy), breast reduction, and reconstruction for post-mastectomy patients. The practice offers consultation on implant size, shape, and incision placement to help patients achieve their desired outcome.

Body contouring procedures include liposuction (using conventional and tumescent techniques), abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), arm lift (brachioplasty), thigh lift, and buttock augmentation. Non-surgical aesthetic services may also be available, including Botox, dermal fillers, and other injectable treatments for facial rejuvenation.

Reconstructive surgery services cover scar revision, burn reconstruction, and other procedures addressing functional or aesthetic concerns arising from trauma, congenital conditions, or previous surgeries. All surgical procedures are performed under appropriate anesthesia — general or local with sedation — by trained anesthesia staff.

The Cosmetic Surgery Center Philippines operates from a dedicated clinic and surgical facility in Quezon City, designed specifically for the safe delivery of cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures. The facility includes consultation rooms, pre-operative assessment areas, a procedure room or operating suite, and recovery areas for post-operative monitoring.

Surgical safety standards are maintained in accordance with Philippines Department of Health (DOH) regulations governing ambulatory surgical facilities. Pre-operative medical clearance is required for all patients undergoing general anesthesia or sedation, with baseline blood work, ECG, and physician clearance forming part of the standard workup.

Post-operative care facilities allow patients to recover comfortably in a clinical setting before discharge, with nursing staff available to monitor vital signs, manage pain, and address any immediate post-surgical concerns. Patients undergoing more complex procedures, or those without family support nearby, may be referred to nearby hospital facilities if admission is required.

The clinic's location in Quezon City — one of Metro Manila's largest and most accessible cities — puts it within reasonable distance of major hospitals should emergency surgical or medical support be required. The practice works with affiliated hospitals to ensure continuity of care for patients who require inpatient services.

The Cosmetic Surgery Center Philippines welcomes international patients seeking cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures at significantly lower costs than their home countries. The Philippines is an increasingly recognized destination for aesthetic surgery tourism, combining professional medical expertise with a welcoming, English-speaking environment and strong hospitality infrastructure.

All clinical consultations and patient communications are conducted in English, which is co-official with Filipino as a national language of the Philippines. English proficiency is universal in the Philippine medical system — all surgeons are trained in English-medium programs and are comfortable discussing procedures, risks, and expected outcomes with international patients.

Common procedures sought by international patients include rhinoplasty (particularly Asian rhinoplasty techniques), blepharoplasty, breast augmentation, liposuction, and body contouring. The cost savings compared to US or Australian pricing are substantial — often 60-75% less — while surgical technique and implant quality remain high.

International patients should plan adequate recovery time in the Philippines before flying home — typically at least 7-14 days for facial procedures and 2-4 weeks for major body surgeries, depending on the specific operation and the individual patient's recovery progress. The practice can provide detailed pre-travel preparation instructions and coordinate with patients' home-country physicians for continuity of post-operative care.

The plastic surgeons at the Cosmetic Surgery Center Philippines are certified by the Philippine Board of Plastic Surgery (PBPS), the nationally recognized specialty board that sets the standards for training, examination, and certification of plastic and reconstructive surgeons in the Philippines. Board certification by the PBPS requires completion of an accredited plastic surgery residency program, passing written and oral specialty examinations, and demonstrating clinical competence in both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.

All physicians hold valid licenses issued by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) of the Philippines, the regulatory body that governs medical practice and professional standards across all health disciplines in the country. Membership in the Philippine Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (PAPRAS) ensures adherence to ethical and professional standards established by the national specialty society.

The clinic operates under the regulatory framework set by the Philippines Department of Health (DOH) for outpatient and ambulatory surgical facilities. This includes requirements for facility licensing, surgical equipment standards, anesthesia safety protocols, and infection control measures.

Many Filipino plastic surgeons have obtained additional training through overseas fellowships in the United States, Europe, or Australia, and may hold membership in the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) or equivalent international bodies, further validating their expertise and commitment to international standards of care.
