Aesthetic Surgery
As modern concepts of beauty continue to evolve, the demand for facial and body enhancements continue to grow, and the number of "beauty enhancement" facilities seek to keep up. Makati Medical Center recognizes this growing need, and is one of the country's few truly professional centers that can conduct safe and expert surgical services.
At our Aesthetic Surgery Center we can assure you of optimal care and safety: All our plastic, reconstructive and cosmetic surgeons are fully-trained, board-certified and can boast of first-rate qualifications and are assisted by professional staff. All surgeries are done at our renowned medical facilities. At Makati Med, we know full well that plastic surgery is "real" surgery, so we conduct it in a hospital setting that can handle a full emergency, should one arise.
As a testament to our doctors' expertise and our world-class facilities, we have long been known as the premier destination of foreign and local medical tourists seeking cosmetic and reconstructive surgery over the past decades.
