Dr. Carlos Mercado graduated from Metropolitan University in Surgery and Medicine, Colombia, South America. He is Double Board Certified in Family Practice and Geriatrics. By the age of 22, he was being trained on a procedure that at the time was considered new—liposuction. At 26, Dr. Mercado was the only doctor in a small town in Colombia, dealing daily with extreme trauma, gunshot wounds, knife wounds, and baby deliveries, attending to the medical needs of some 5.000+ people in a setting where there was no general anesthesia or operating room. He noticed that patients healed better and had low to no complications with sedation and local anesthesia, and resolved that in the future should he work in the field of cosmetic surgery, he’d do so without the need for general anesthesia. Dr. Mercado underwent extensive training in hormone replacement therapy through Cenegenics Institute, and embarked on additional training related to stem cells and continues this track of discovery with cell-assisted services for his patients, designed to rejuvenate and repair physical injuries. He also has been a pioneer of bioplasty in the U.S. The bioplasty technique allows no cutting, blunted instruments, provides natural and progressive results, with no need for general anesthesia, and can be used on reconstructive surgery as well. Dr. Mercado states that during his procedures his patients are awake, leave the office walking, without pain, and return to their job or regular routine very rapidly. Dr. Mercado continues to go back to Colombia, and includes “medical mission trips” for patients in need of reconstructive surgery using his bioplasty techniques.
