In the world of plastic surgery, it is not only essential to possess a high level of professionalism but also to be able to connect with each patient, understanding their unique needs and desires. Dr. David Neagu is precisely that kind of specialist, whose mastery, attention to detail, and genuine care for his patients make him one of the most sought-after plastic surgeons.

Why Dr. David Neagu Is A Top-Tier Specialist

Dr. David Neagu is a recognized expert in oral and maxillofacial surgery and facial plastic surgery. He graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and specialized in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University Hospital of A Coruña. Today, Dr. Neagu dedicates his practice exclusively to facial plastic surgery, becoming an expert in advanced techniques such as Deep Plane Lifting—an innovative method that achieves comprehensive facial rejuvenation with natural results.

Deep Plane Lifting is a technique where the surgeon works with the deep layers of facial tissues, including muscles and fascia. This allows for a more pronounced and long-lasting rejuvenation effect, avoiding the “pulled” look often associated with traditional facelifts. Dr. Neagu uses this technique to create natural, harmonious results that highlight the patient’s individual features.

Throughout his career, Dr. Neagu has trained and completed internships with leading surgeons in the United States and Germany. This experience has enabled him to master the most modern facial rejuvenation methods, ensuring natural and balanced results, as well as performing complex procedures in both aesthetic and reconstructive facial surgery.

Currently, Dr. Neagu also practices at the Instituto de Benito, where he continues to refine his skills and help patients regain confidence in their appearance.

Areas of expertise

Dr. David Neagu specializes in the following procedures:

Aesthetic Facial Surgery

• Deep Plane Lifting: a technique targeting the deep layers of facial tissues for natural rejuvenation.
• Blepharoplasty: correction of the eyelids, removing excess skin and fat to reduce signs of fatigue and aging.
• Rhinoplasty: correction of the shape and functionality of the nose, tailored to the patient’s individual characteristics.

Reconstructive Surgery

• Recovery after trauma, burns, or illnesses using modern surgical techniques.
• Reconstruction of facial bone structures and soft tissues to restore functionality and aesthetics.

Each procedure is performed using advanced technologies and methods, ensuring minimal risk of complications and a quick recovery.

Individualized approach

One of the key principles of Dr. Neagu’s practice is a personalized approach. He thoroughly studies the patient’s anatomical features, desires, and expectations to offer the most suitable solution. Dr. Neagu always honestly discusses potential outcomes and risks, allowing the patient to make an informed decision.
