About

Hector Salazar Reyes, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Chula Vista, completed a plastic surgery fellowship at Houston Methodist Hospital in 2015 after earning his medical degree from the Autonomous University of Baja California in 2005. Subcutaneous temporal browlift and upper blepharoplasty under local anesthesia target the periorbital complex—the same anatomical zone monitored during optometric exams at Villa Optometry on Fourth Avenue—requiring intraoperative precision to preserve lid function and tear-film integrity. He holds active surgical privileges at both Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center and Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista along the Medical Center Drive corridor. Peer-reviewed contributions in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal on umbilical-sparing abdominoplasty techniques and periorbital rejuvenation protocols feed directly into his operative methods on F Street, adding a research dimension absent from volume-focused aesthetic programs on the Eastlake corridor at Eastlake Cosmetic Surgery. Fluency in English, Spanish, and Italian extends trilingual consultation access across the South Bay. Highest-complexity cases include post-mastectomy DIEP flap breast reconstruction requiring microvascular free-tissue transfer and multi-hour operative windows under general anesthesia.
