Advanced Breast Reconstruction

Dr. Sicard Cerda directs the Instituto de Reconstrucción Mamaria (IRECMA). This specialized unit focuses on restoring body image after cancer. Oncoplastic surgery techniques rebuild the breast immediately or after cancer treatment. The surgeon recreates breast shape using implants or the patient's own tissue.

Tissue reconstruction often uses the latissimus dorsi muscle or abdominal tissue. These methods help recreate a natural-looking breast, including the areola and nipple. This specialized care is coordinated with oncology teams at Hospital Metropolitano de Santiago.

Body Contouring and Post-Bariatric Surgery

The practice treats patients who have experienced massive weight loss. Post-bariatric surgery addresses skin laxity and hygiene issues caused by excess tissue. A torso lift, also known as belt abdominoplasty, requires at least two days of hospitalization. This procedure removes skin and fat while tightening the abdominal muscles.

The clinic offers various body sculpting procedures to improve physical proportions:

• Liposculpture for the abdomen, hips, and thighs
• Cervical liposuction to remove fat under the chin
• Gluteoplasty for buttocks enhancement
• Gynecomastia surgery to remove excess male breast tissue

Liposuction is also available for smaller areas. These include the upper arms, knees, calves, and ankles.

Facial Rejuvenation and Aesthetic Procedures

Facial surgeries repair sagging or wrinkled skin. Dr. Sicard Cerda performs ritidectomia, commonly known as a facelift. This surgery tightens the main facial muscles and removes excess fat from the neck, restoring a more youthful contour.

Nasal procedures address both function and appearance. Rhinoplasty can modify the nasal septum to improve airflow. It also changes the nasal bridge angle or reduces nostril size. Other facial options include otoplasty for ear correction and blepharoplasty for eyelid rejuvenation. Non-surgical treatments like botulinum toxin and facial fillers are also available.

Services for International Patients

International patients follow a structured care process at Hospital Metropolitano de Santiago. This hospital-based setting gives access to full medical support during recovery. The practice provides educational materials and recovery guidance in Spanish. Patients should remain under local supervision until the surgeon permits travel.
