Dr. Alejandro Fajardo

Svelta DP Facelift Specialist M.D., New York Medical College General Surgery Residency, UConn Plastic Surgery Residency, UIC 5 Peer-Reviewed Publications

Dr. Alejandro Fajardo brings a research-grounded, technically precise approach to plastic surgery at Svelta Plastic Surgery in Miami. His training path is distinguished by depth rather than shortcuts: an M.D. from New York Medical College, a five-year General Surgery Residency at the University of Connecticut that sharpened his anatomical fluency and operative stamina, followed by a Plastic Surgery Residency at the University of Illinois Chicago under faculty recognized nationally for their reconstructive and cosmetic expertise.

What separates Dr. Fajardo within Svelta's surgical team is the combination of hands-on operative training across the full body and a genuine academic record. He has five publications in peer-reviewed journals - including the Journal of the American College of Surgeons and the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery - and contributed a co-authored chapter to a Springer reference work on the history of maxillofacial surgery. His attendance at the 2025 Dallas Rhinoplasty Meeting reflects an active engagement with the latest advances in facial refinement surgery, beyond what residency alone provides.

At Svelta, Dr. Fajardo serves as the designated specialist for the Svelta DP Facelift - a facial rejuvenation procedure where his command of deep-plane anatomy and tissue repositioning translates directly into lasting, natural-looking outcomes. His operative scope extends to body contouring, breast surgery, and rhinoplasty, where the same rigor applies: a careful pre-operative assessment, technique suited to the individual, and results measured by proportion rather than formula.

Patients who consult with Dr. Fajardo encounter a surgeon whose fluency in the operating room was built through one of the more demanding training sequences in the specialty - and who carries that foundation into every procedure he performs at Svelta's Miami practice.
