With dual certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Obesity Medicine, Dr. Ovalle demonstrates exceptional technical skills in non-invasive cosmetic procedures such as injectables, facial fillers, chemical peels, and various laser treatments.

His proficiency in body contouring procedures like "mommy makeovers," liposuction, and abdominoplasty makes him an invaluable addition to Avana Plastic Surgery. Dr. Ovalle is also celebrated for his innovative use of autologous fat grafting and fat transfer techniques.

Dr. Ovalle is distinguished by his contributions to humanitarian missions, including Operation “Smile Peru,” which provides essential surgical care to children, adolescents, and adults with cleft lip or palate who cannot afford the necessary corrective procedures.
