Training and specialization

Dr. Franco specializes in breast surgery and facial rejuvenation, and is also trained in reconstructive hand surgery and phlebology. That broader command of anatomy and healing shows up in how he operates. He works on the deep structures of the face rather than treating it as a flat surface, which is why his facelift results read as a younger version of the patient rather than a different person.

Board certification

Dr. Franco holds board certification through ReTHUS, the national registry of health professionals administered by Colombia's Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social. In a country where that certification is not universal, it is one of the reasons international patients choose him.

How he works with patients

From the first virtual consultation through the final follow-up, Dr. Franco and his team stay close to every patient. He sets out a clear plan, answers questions directly, and adjusts the approach to the person in front of him. The goal is a result that looks natural and lasts, not one that announces itself.
