Own published techniques
Throughout his career, Dr. García Ceballos has developed and published his own surgical procedures that provide solutions to specific technical problems in rhinoplasty, breast surgery and facial surgery.
Duvet Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty - CIRPLAS Ibero-Latin America 2024
Methodology for the prevention of nasal dorsum irregularities in aesthetic rhinoplasty, based on a preoperative classification of the patient according to nasal soft tissue thickness (Type I < 3 mm; Type II ≥ 3 mm) measured by manual adipometer, and the intraoperative application of L-PRF (Leukocyte and Platelet-Rich Fibrin) enriched nanofat in patients with thin skin. In the published study, the technique achieved an average increase of 0.9 mm in skin thickness at one year, without the need for revision surgeries due to dorsal irregularities.
