Ophthalmologist and Oculoplastic Surgeon
Dr. José Nieto
Specific training in Oculoplastic Surgery
Dr. Nieto has specific training in his subspecialty, having completed a fellowship program with the American Society of Oculoplastic Surgery (ASOPRS) , something that is very difficult for foreign physicians to access and that very few European ophthalmologists have been able to do. Furthermore, Dr. Nieto has complemented his training with European leaders in the specialty. Subspecialization is the only way to achieve excellence in every branch of medicine.
The development of oculoplastic surgery as a distinct subspecialty has led to significant improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the periocular area, as well as the refinement of blepharoplasty techniques leading to less impassivity and greater safety. No one understands the anatomy of the eyelids better than a specialist in the field.
Ophthalmological training
Thanks to his training as an ophthalmologist, your eye health will be in good hands. We believe an ophthalmologist is the best person to perform eye surgery.
Dr. Nieto trained as an ophthalmologist at the largest university hospital in Catalonia, Vall d’Hebron Hospital. This hospital also has a long ophthalmological tradition and has produced world-renowned ophthalmologists.
Exclusive dedication
Dr. Nieto is dedicated exclusively to oculoplastic surgery . He combines his practice in reconstructive surgery in the public sector with his private practice in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. His exclusive dedication allows him to treat a large volume of patients and constantly seek new improvements in his specialty.
Extensive experience in blepharoplasty
We receive a large number of patients seeking blepharoplasty, which has allowed us to refine not only the surgical techniques but also the care process , making it easier and more comfortable for the patient.
Maximum accreditation
If you’re looking for an oculoplastic surgeon, choose one who can certify their training.
Dr. Nieto is the first Spanish ophthalmologist to complete a fellowship program with the American Society of Oculoplastic Surgery (ASOPRS) . He is also a member of the European (ESOPRS) and American Societies of Oculoplastic Surgery. This membership is reserved for oculoplastic surgeons with experience and dedication to their specialty.
Dr. Nieto is also accredited by the International Council of Ophthalmology and the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates of the United States.

Choosing a well-trained and accredited surgeon does not guarantee a perfect result, but it does identify one who has met strict training requirements.

Security
Cosmetic surgery patients are healthy individuals, so the development of complications that could compromise eye health is especially traumatic for these patients. The best way to avoid complications in blepharoplasty is to prevent them, and this is achieved through careful planning and attention to the smallest details.
Dr. Nieto will always seek the best solution for your case without risking your eye health. If you are not a good candidate for blepharoplasty, Dr. Nieto will recommend against surgery.

Dr. Nieto is committed to research and innovation in the treatment of patients in his specialty, both in cosmetic and reconstructive medicine. This is reflected in his publications and presentations at courses and conferences.
