Meet Dr.WWDR. WORLDWIDE GET TO KNOW HIM
Frank Agullo, MD, FACS is the plastic surgeon the world watches. Known globally as Dr. WorldWide, he has built one of the largest followings of any surgeon on the planet (over 3.5 million on Instagram @RealDrWorldWide) by pulling back the curtain on plastic surgery and showing what extraordinary results actually look like. Celebrities, influencers, and patients from across the United States and around the world make the trip to El Paso, Texas, because when you have seen the work up close, there is nowhere else to go. More than 80% of his patients travel from outside El Paso. The practice handles every detail of their journey.
Dr. Agullo is double board-certified, Mayo Clinic fellowship-trained, and a Clinical Associate Professor of Plastic Surgery at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. But credentials only tell part of the story. What sets him apart is a philosophy built on preservation: enhancing, restoring, and elevating what is already there rather than changing who you are. Not cookie cutter. Every plan is molded around the individual patient's desires, their anatomy, their life.
That philosophy drives every decision in the operating room. His Motiva Preserve breast augmentations deliver results that feel as natural as they look. His deep plane and endoscopic deep plane facelifts turn back time without announcing themselves. His Supercharged BBL has been refined, published, and presented on international stages. And his ability to combine face and body procedures in a single operative session is a capability few surgeons in the world can offer safely at his level.
The same philosophy applies outside the OR. Forget synthetic fillers. Dr. Agullo restores volume with regenerative grafts including Alloclae, Lipoderma, exosomes, and platelet-derived growth factors. Recovery is treated as part of the result: lymphatic massages, scar management, and Elixir MD LED light therapy ensure that what happens after surgery is as intentional as what happens during it.
Castle Connolly Top Doctor for eleven consecutive years. Texas Super Doctors Hall of Fame. Best Plastic Surgeon in El Paso for thirteen consecutive years. Aesthetic Everything Top Plastic Surgeon 2026. Founding Vice President and President of the World Association of Gluteal Surgeons, where he helped write the global safety standards for gluteal surgery.
The results are daily. The standard is uncompromising. The philosophy is simple: #MakeItHappen. #HappyIsBeautiful. #StayBeautiful.

GLAMOUR SHOTS
Plastic Surgery is a very personal choice and a unique experience for every individual who chooses to undergo a change, be it a discreet or major surgery. The one thing in common for my patients though is that they experience an inner transformation which ultimately shines through as confidence in themselves. Confident is Beautiful!

Worldwide, men had 14 percent fewer aesthetic procedures in 2025. Gynecomastia surgery fell by a quarter. The survey never says why. In El Paso the men kept coming, and I know why.

The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery says men had 14.1 percent fewer aesthetic procedures in 2025 than the year before. Women fell 7.7 percent. Gynecomastia surgery, the one operation only men have, fell 26.2 percent.
No, in my practice it has been completely the opposite. We’ve seen dramatic growth in men coming in for plastic surgery, including liposuction, eyelid surgery, facelift and neck lift surgery, and gynecomastia.
The Reason Is Not in the Report
I think the GLP-1s are actually increasing the amount of demand we see in the office for consultations. The first thing patients notice is the deflation on the face, which we may treat early with fillers like Sculptra, Lipoderma or hyaluronic acid to restore this lost volume. But as the patient progresses in their weight loss journey, just filling these areas is no longer enough to maintain their youthfulness, and many are turning to face and neck lifts.
The other thing I am seeing often is that the patient feels better and is healthier, but the body, with the loose skin, is not showing that externally. So many men are coming in for gynecomastia and tummy tucks, and some men are coming in to restore the volume they have lost in the buttock, where we do liposuction and fat grafting. Some weight loss patients have skin that has recoiled pretty well, so we can get away with just liposuction and skin tightening using Renuvion J-Plasma and/or BodyTite.
Men are getting healthier, slimmer, and ready for their bodies to match the way they feel.
What They Ask For
In my practice, the most common procedure I perform in men is gynecomastia surgery. That is number one. Number two is liposuction, which usually involves the abdomen and the lower back, but sometimes it is extended to the neck, upper back, lateral chest and even the breast itself. Number three is eyelid surgery. Number four is rhinoplasty, which is very common in younger men. Last but not least, facelifts and neck lifts have become more and more common in men, especially with the GLP-1s.
What I Will Not Do to a Man
When we do facelifts, we do not like to raise the brow as much. In men, it should pretty much line up with the superior orbital rim. Male rhinoplasty is usually a more masculine, closed rhinoplasty aiming for a straight dorsum, the Roman style. We want to avoid the curved dorsum and the more projected, refined tip. Also, when we do buttock fat grafting in men, we usually skip fat grafting to the hips, because we want to avoid a feminine curvature and instead project the gluteus maximus muscle.
The full list, and the ISAPS table, is in the full post on the Agullo Plastic Surgery site.

Two faces, one line down the middle, 23 years apart. I did Mom’s facelift almost ten years ago. Which side is she?

Mother or daughter?
“Mom is 23 years older than her daughter, and I performed her facelift almost 10 years ago!”
I posted the two halves on Instagram this morning and asked one question. Left or right?
“A great facelift isn’t about looking different. It’s about looking like a younger version of yourself, even years later!”
Not Pulled. Moved.
“It’s still a deep plane facelift, so I am pulling the deeper structures. We’re not pulling on the skin, that’s what gives that pulled look.”
A pulled face would give the game away in a second. A moved one does not.
“It’s still going to be you. It’s going to be completely you, just a younger version. I’m sure if you look at your older photos, your cheeks were up a little bit higher, you didn’t have this fullness here, and your brows were probably up a little bit higher too. So it is just setting the clock back.”
Ten Years On
“It lasts about seven to ten years.” Then the clock runs again, from the new starting line.
“You’re 52, and we go back ten years. So you’re going to look like you’re 40. And then you’re going to start over. So you keep aging, and then in about ten years we would do a touch up, and we bring you back ten years. So you’re still 40. So in your sixties, you’re going to look 40.”
“We kind of lock in the younger age, and then ten years go by, and we do a touch-up, and we get you back to that. It’s a good idea, because if we do it when you’re seventy years old, we can only make you look sixty.”
Lock in your younger self.
Guess
Left or right? Answer on the post. The full version, with how long a deep plane lift lasts and why patients now do it earlier, is on agulloplasticsurgery.com.
