Introduction to the Program

The current importance of image and aesthetics makes this Master's Degree an essential program for professionals in the sector, providing them with most in-depth knowledge of the main surgical techniques"

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is one of the most booming sectors in recent years. The growing interest of citizens to improve their physical appearance, and the confidence offered by the advances in technology, have allowed these types of interventions to be performed with total safety, drastically minimizing the possible side effects. Although plastic surgery has historically focused on burn patients and reconstructive processes, it is increasingly acquiring a more generalized role, giving more space to patients who do not present a physical injury, but who demand surgical procedures to achieve an aesthetic or functional improvement.

This Master's Degree in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery aims to broaden plastic surgeon’s knowledge and vision, providing a solid foundation to face the challenges posed by patients seeking aesthetic procedures and consolidate their previous training, while encouraging curiosity and interest in the most advanced techniques and the most consolidated knowledge of this fascinating discipline.

This program presents the most up-to-date knowledge in the management of cosmetic surgery patients. It was designed by a team of specialists who have developed an extensive catalog of multimedia material with illustrations, videos and case studies, supported by an extensive bibliography. The result is that all the knowledge is structured and explained in such a way that it allows a practical, systematic and simple application.

The most advanced surgical techniques, the indications for each patient according to their characteristics, the management of complications, or the use of current technologies for the optimization of results are explained step by step throughout each of the topics. The patient's protocols before surgery are also covered in the program, a key issue to avoid adverse events during the practice of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. In addition, routine postoperative management is equally important, which consists of wound care and the application of therapies that help the patient progress until they can fully return to their daily activities. 

This Master's Degree offers you the most complete and up-to-date program, designed to learn about the technologies, materials, and treatments used in this discipline and to include a complete perspective of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery that will allow you to specialize in an ethical and responsible way. With this Master's Degree, you will obtain a highly qualified education, which seeks to ensure excellence in medical practice.

Master's Degree in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

In the past, surgical procedures to modify the face or certain anatomical parts were solely for medical reasons, such as reconstructing skin burned during a war. Today, although such interventions continue to be fundamental to saving lives or restoring an individual's health, they have been given a new focus within an ever-growing market, the aesthetic one. As medical personnel must always be at the forefront of the new trends and needs of the sector, at TECH Global University we present the Master's Degree in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, a sophisticated program conceived from the versatility offered by online education to train the next body enhancement specialists. Through a rigorous but interactive and motivating syllabus, we will teach you all about the considerations and procedures to successfully perform the different types of surgeries and their variants: breast, nasal, lipoplasty, facial and cervical rejuvenation, etc. Do you want to learn the new digital technologies, the principles of medical photography and the legal implications of the treatments? Here at TECH you will find everything you need to become one of the most remarkable doctors in the field.

Dare to become the best plastic surgeon

There are not few cases where patients, encouraged by the desire to improve their aesthetic image, resort to alleged specialists who perform low-quality procedures, even compromising their health and/or generating complex legal investigations. In Colombia, during September 2021, a Puerto Rican woman died after undergoing liposuction. The subject is a thorny one and raises thick debates, however, one thing is certain, it requires total professionalism, aptitudinal confidence and integrity to perform an aesthetic procedure that satisfies the patient. Our program is designed precisely to equip you with the highest working skills so that you can perform safely in the operating room. You will witness why our Relearning methodology leads in the field of online teaching, in addition to being motivated by a teaching team with extensive experience in cosmetic surgery. In a world driven by digital globalization, where appearance prevails, we transform you to be that recognized name in the aesthetic clinic area.
