About

Twenty years of surgical practice devoted almost entirely to the face define the work of Dr. Andres Bustillo, a facial plastic surgeon based in Miami, Florida. As of July 2026, Dr. Bustillo continues to focus Dr. Bustillo's practice on facial rejuvenation, with the deep plane facelift among Dr. Bustillo's signature procedures.

Dr. Andres Bustillo is a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon who limits Dr. Bustillo's practice to the face and neck. This narrow focus allows Dr. Bustillo to concentrate deeply on the anatomy and aesthetics of facial aging.

Read more ▾

Dr. Bustillo is listed as board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS), a credential earned by surgeons who dedicate their training to facial procedures.

Dr. Bustillo completed their medical education at the Universidad de Burgos before pursuing fellowship training in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Their path reflects a long commitment to a single region of the body.

The deep plane facelift is a defining part of their surgical repertoire. This technique repositions the deeper structural layers of the face rather than simply tightening the skin surface.

At the center of their philosophy is a preference for natural, conservative results. Dr. Bustillo is known for telling patients honest things they may not expect to hear — including that they may not need surgery at all.

"Less is more" is a phrase he returns to often. The most common error, in their view, is doing too many procedures at once, and Dr. Bustillo works to prevent that under Dr. Bustillo's care.

Approximately a quarter of Dr. Bustillo's patients travel from outside the United States, arriving from the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Europe. Dr. Bustillo's practice has developed an international character over two decades.

Nearly one in ten of their patients are physicians and their families — a detail that reflects the trust of medically informed clients who understand what they are choosing.

Dr. Bustillo's practice, Bustillo Facial Plastic Surgery, is located in the Miami area, a city long associated with aesthetic medicine and international travel. The setting suits a practice that serves both local and traveling patients.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift is a subject he addresses candidly with every patient. Dr. Bustillo emphasizes realistic timelines and the gradual settling of results over several months.

Dr. Bustillo holds membership in the American College of Surgeons and the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS). These affiliations connect Dr. Bustillo's practice to established professional standards.

Beyond facelift surgery, their experience spans rhinoplasty, revision rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), brow lift, chin augmentation, and otoplasty (ear reshaping). Their practice remains firmly within facial surgery.

He approaches rhinoplasty with the same restraint he brings to facial rejuvenation, sometimes advising patients to "leave your nose alone." This candor has become part of Dr. Bustillo's reputation among those who research Dr. Bustillo carefully.

For affluent patients weighing facial rejuvenation, Dr. Andres Bustillo represents a focused, experienced option in a competitive Miami market — a surgeon who has spent two decades refining a conservative approach to the deep plane facelift and related procedures.

Dr. Bustillo and his team are complete pros - this was evident during the first phone call I made to his office (shoutout to Yanel). Like many of you reading this, I endlessly researched plastic surgeons who specialized in rhinoplasty until I found the holy triumvirate of spectacular before/after photos, customer reviews, and experience. Hence, Dr. Bustillo. I travelled from NYC to see Dr. Bustillo in person. The office was beautiful, and I was treated warmly by Dr. Bustillo and his staff. I have interacted with other plastic surgeons in the past, and Dr. Bustillo’s bedside manner is head and shoulders above his peers. Ultimately, he told me that I didn’t need a rhinoplasty, and the fact that I am giving him a 5-star review should tell you all you need to know. Imagine, in this day-and-age of excessive cosmetic surgery, a plastic surgeon who has your best interests at heart. If you’re considering a rhinoplasty, look no further -Dr. Bustillo is the best in the business.

I had a facelift with Dr Bustillo 8 weeks ago. I could not be happier with the result or the experience. Dr Bustillo and his whole team are lovely and accommodating - they put you at ease, and work through all questions and concerns. They make themselves available to you for whatever you need, which is so comforting with a big procedure like this. The results are exactly what I was hoping for - natural and undetectable. I look exactly like I did 10 years ago. Friends think I look refreshed, but are surprised when I tell them I had surgery because it’s so natural! My scars are so fine already, I doubt they’ll be visible in 2 more months. Overall, would recommend Dr Bustillo and his team to anyone.

It's not just about the surgery; it's about the entire experience. Dr. Bustillo's team made me feel safe and cared for at every single step. From the warm welcome at my consultation to the thoughtful follow-up calls, their service was as perfect as my results.

I waited for Dr. Bustillo because I knew that his skills were worth the wait. He did not prove me wrong. Bedside manner is very important to me and Dr. Bustillo has such a great bed side manner. His surgical skill goes without saying. He made me look natural and refreshed. My skin looks amazing. He is honest about what he can do and cannot do. I appreciated that. His staff is amazing and helpful. I am so glad I chose Dr. Bustillo and the wonderful staff he has.

What do patients say about Dr. Bustillo?

Reviews typically reference communication, surgical outcome, bedside manner, and post-operative support.

Where is Dr. Bustillo located?

Visit the official clinic website for the full street address, parking details, and directions from the nearest international airport. International patients can arrange a virtual consultation before traveling to review candidacy, treatment plan, and pricing.
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. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. Bustillo provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
How long results last has not been measured for all patients, and whether a deep plane facelift outlasts a SMAS or mini facelift is still debated (Khoury 2025). In one surgeon's 30-year series, patients who came back for a second facelift after a deep plane lift did so 10.9 years later on average (Levin & Frankel 2026); that counts only the patients who returned. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Bustillo can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
How experienced is Dr. Bustillo with deep plane facelifts?
Dr. Bustillo has 20+ years of clinical experience in facial plastic surgery. Deep plane facelift is a signature procedure within the clinical practice.

Active member of American College of Surgeons, AAFPRS, which requires ongoing peer review and continuing education. High-volume specialisation is one of the strongest predictors of complication-free outcomes.

Yes, Dr. Bustillo has 5 before and after photo sets on their DEEPPLANE™ profile, showing a range of ages, anatomical starting points, and result timelines. Photos have been collated from public clinic sources. When reviewing galleries, look for patients with facial anatomy similar to yours and for results photographed at least 3-6 months post-op, when final swelling has resolved.

The board certification shown (ABFPRS) is as listed in public sources and is not confirmed with the issuing board. The surgeon has a 4.9/5 rating on Google from public patient reviews.
