Three Spheres, One Continuum

Aesthetic. Reconstructive. Regenerative.

Restoring what was lost and refining what remains are usually practised as separate worlds. Here they are one continuum — regenerative technique is the connective tissue, letting the same biologic principles, and the same hand, move freely across both.

I

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Facial rejuvenation and body contouring — the MACS facelift, botulinum toxin and injectable treatment, and fat-based procedures that refine proportion while keeping expression intact.

Explore aesthetic surgery
II

Regenerative Surgery

The connective sphere — nanofat, fat grafting and other tissue-supportive methods that make the crossing possible: the same approach to healing that strengthens a reconstruction is what sustains an aesthetic result.

III

Reconstructive & Microsurgery

Complex tissue reconstruction, scar and burn care, and lymphedema surgery — restoring form and function with technique studied directly under Dr. Rei Ogawa at Nippon Medical School, Tokyo (2024–2025), in a year-long fellowship spanning reconstructive surgery, microsurgery, keloid management and lymphedema.

About Dr. Cruz

Trained at the source of the techniques he practices

Dr. Pacifico Cruz completed his MD at the University of the Philippines College of Medicine and trained in the Divisions of Plastic Surgery and Burns at UP–PGH. Two fellowships built on that foundation: a full year under Dr. Rei Ogawa at Nippon Medical School, Tokyo (2024–2025; reconstructive surgery, microsurgery, keloid management, lymphedema), and, in 2025, aesthetic plastic surgery under Dr. Patrick Tonnard and Dr. Alexis Verpaele in Ghent and Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium (MACS facelift, lipofilling, nanofat), with additional training in Brussels. He is a Diplomate of the Philippine Board of Plastic Surgery (2024).
