Dr. Miguel Yáñez has been a valued member of Piedmont Plastic Surgery & Dermatology since 2008, becoming a partner in 2009. A board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 30 years of experience, he specializes in rhinoplasty, breast surgery, liposuction, tummy tucks, facial surgery, and complex reconstructive procedures. He is also highly skilled in cleft lip, palate, and pediatric plastic surgery, as well as facial reconstruction following skin cancer removal.

An early adopter of fat transfer techniques, Dr. Yáñez first used the method to restore volume in patients with cleft lip and has since refined it to achieve natural, lasting results. He primarily utilizes liposuction for Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedures, combining technical precision with an artistic approach to create balanced, natural contours. He believes that excellence in cosmetic surgery begins with mastery in reconstruction.

Before joining PPSD, Dr. Yáñez spent 15 years in private practice in Puerto Rico, where he also served as Assistant Clinical Professor and Co-Director of the Center for Craniofacial Disorders at the University of Puerto Rico. Dr.Yáñez is known for his artistry, precision, and compassionate approach to patient care.
