Julio Gil

With more than 5,000 rhinoplasties performed over 30 years, Julio Gil’s work is built around one guiding goal: a nose that looks natural on the patient’s own face. At Doctor Julio Gil, he leads aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery focused on facial harmony—“what to touch and what not to touch” to preserve the patient’s identity. The clinic’s approach is supported by a coordinated team that includes the surgeon, anesthesiologist, surgical instrument specialist, and nursing staff, working before, during, and after procedures. Beyond rhinoplasty, the practice covers facial surgeries such as bichectomy, cervicoplasty, mentoplasty, and otoplasty, including men’s otoplasty. Body aesthetic options include liposculpture and lipectomy/abdominoplasty, and the clinic also lists procedures for men such as gynecomastia surgery and male gluteoplasty. For patients exploring non-surgical changes, the clinic offers injectables including hyaluronic acid and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), alongside surgical options.
