Dr. David Delgado completed his medical education at Universidad Industrial de Santander, a respected Colombian institution. He is a member of the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery, an affiliation that reflects engagement with national standards of practice.

The deep plane facelift is a technique that repositions deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening skin. This approach addresses facial aging at its structural source, targeting the mid-face, cheeks, and jawline in a unified movement.

Dr. David Delgado approaches each face as an individual anatomical study. His practice emphasizes harmony between the eyes, nose, and lower face — which is why his specialties in blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) often complement his facelift work.

Rejuvenation, in Dr. Delgado's framework, is about proportion and balance. Rather than isolating a single feature, he considers how the entire face ages together, allowing subtle corrections to reinforce one another.

The deep plane technique works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of connective tissue and muscle beneath the skin). By releasing and repositioning this layer, the surgeon can achieve lift without excessive tension on the skin surface.

Dr. David Delgado has built his reputation in a competitive Medellín market, where facial rejuvenation is a well-developed specialty. His long tenure in the field reflects sustained clinical activity over more than a decade.

Patient care and follow-up form a recurring emphasis in Dr. Delgado's practice. His approach involves guiding patients through the full arc of surgery, from initial consultation through the recovery period and into final results.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift is a gradual process, and Dr. David Delgado structures his aftercare with that timeline in mind. Swelling and bruising in the early weeks give way to progressively refined results over several months.

Dr. David Delgado maintains an active presence on Instagram under the handle @daviddelgadocirujano, where prospective patients can review examples of facial and body work. This transparency reflects a broader trend among Medellín surgeons toward visual documentation.

Medellín itself has become a recognized destination for aesthetic surgery, and Dr. Delgado operates within that context. The city combines a temperate climate, modern medical infrastructure, and a strong tradition of plastic surgery training.

Dr. David Delgado's clinical focus spans both the face and body, though his facial work — particularly the deep plane facelift — anchors his profile. His stated interest in facial rejuvenation aligns with the growing demand for natural-looking outcomes.

For women in their fifties and sixties considering facial rejuvenation, Dr. David Delgado offers an established option within Medellín's surgical community. His experience, credentials, and facial focus position him as a considered choice for those researching deep plane facelift surgery.

Above all, Dr. David Delgado presents his practice as one built on communication and continuity of care — qualities that matter deeply to patients navigating an elective, life-changing procedure.

Dr. David is a very professional and attentive doctor with his patients. He is always willing to answer any questions regarding the procedures he performs, both before and after. His work is impeccable. I am very satisfied with my results. Since I was little, I had wanted to have otoplasty because my ears made me very insecure. Finding a doctor who has met all my expectations makes me incredibly happy. Thank you so much, Dr. David. I will always recommend your work ❤️.

I traveled from the United States to have several procedures done by Dr. David Delgado, and he also operated on my nephew! I want to mention that both he and his staff are incredible people… the atmosphere in his office is incredibly welcoming. Although I'm still recovering, I want to thank them so much; I felt very calm and supported. 🥰 Thank you so much!

What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete.
