Ricardo Cortés

Ricardo Cortés is a plastic surgeon with 25 years of experience working as a specialist at clinic ICA in Tenerife. The clinic also features him in its “Más que Estética” program, where he spoke alongside the medical director, Sonia Díaz. In a November 24 episode, they discussed gynecomastia—an increase in breast tissue in men—and how to approach this condition. Beyond education, Cortés’ clinical menu includes otoplasty, blepharoplasty, and the Mirada Felina technique, which the clinic describes as a lifting approach aligned with the shape of the eyes and the rest of the face. For facial volume restoration, lipofilling is offered by transferring fat from another body area. He is also listed as working with microinjerto capilar (hair micrografting), and the clinic describes microinjerto capilar as a surgical intervention that uses the patient’s own hair, with no rejection risk and no need for hospitalization. When patients look for rejuvenation without fillers or going to the operating room, the clinic also highlights radiofrequency as an option.
