Martín Lombardo, MD

DeepPlane holds no confirmed board certification record for Dr. Lombardo. That gap is a limit of our data and not a statement about the surgeon's training, so you may wish to check Chile's specialist registries directly. The credentials section of this profile explains which registries to search and what to look for.

Centro de Cirugía Plástica CCP is the practice through which Dr. Lombardo sees patients. According to the practice's website, it is based in Vitacura, an established residential and business district in eastern Santiago. The surgeon's Instagram profile describes Dr. Lombardo as the founder of the center.

Facial plastic surgery is the stated focus of Dr. Lombardo's current work. The practice's website organizes this into three areas: facial rejuvenation through the deep plane facelift and endoscopic lifting, ultrasonic rhinoplasty (nose surgery using ultrasonic instruments to shape bone), and eyelid surgery, which includes blepharoplasty and brow lifting.

A decision to subspecialize exclusively in facial plastic surgery is described in a statement on the practice's website. In that statement, attributed to Dr. Lombardo, each face is called unique and deserving of complete dedication. The same text says the surgeon prioritizes meticulous time with each patient and each operation over the number of procedures performed.

The deep plane facelift is a form of rhytidectomy (the medical term for a facelift) that works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a firm layer of tissue under the skin and fat). Rather than pulling skin tight, the technique releases and lifts the deeper layers together, aiming for a natural-looking rejuvenation.

Tissue repositioning, rather than skin tension, is the central idea behind deep plane surgery. Facial aging often shows as descending cheeks, a softening jawline and loosening in the neck. By moving these deeper structures back toward where they once sat, the approach aims for results that look rested rather than pulled.

Endoscopic lifting appears alongside the deep plane facelift in the practice's description of its facial rejuvenation unit. Endoscopic techniques use small incisions and a slim camera to work on areas such as the brow and upper face. In a consultation, you can ask Dr. Lombardo which technique, or combination, fits your own pattern of facial aging.

Eyelid and brow surgery are often discussed in the same conversation as a facelift. Because the practice lists blepharoplasty and brow lifting as a dedicated unit, patients interested in a more complete facial rejuvenation can ask whether combining procedures in one operation is appropriate, and how that would change recovery.

Online tools feature prominently on the practice's website. It lists a patient portal, an online pre-evaluation, online payments and the option to contact a patient advisor. For patients who live outside Santiago, these tools may make early planning easier before an in-person visit.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift generally unfolds over several months. Swelling and bruising are usually most visible in the first one to two weeks, many patients return to routine activities around weeks three to four, and final results tend to settle between three and six months after surgery.

Santiago is Chile's capital and a major medical hub, framed by the Andes mountains. The city offers modern private clinics, a large international airport and calm neighborhoods such as Vitacura, Las Condes and Providencia, which many visitors choose as comfortable places to stay while they heal.

DeepPlane does not yet hold a record of Dr. Lombardo's years in practice or procedure volume. Rather than estimate either, this profile describes what the surgeon focuses on. You can ask the practice directly about training, background and how often the deep plane facelift forms part of the surgeon's work.
