A high sense of responsibility, devotion to duty, compassion to patients, and above all, a fervent desire to learn and excel distinguish Dr. Rino Lorenzo in his chosen field. He is board-certified in plastic surgery, a diplomate of the Philippine Board of Plastic Surgery, and a fellow of the Philippine Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (PAPRAS).

Coming from a well-known family of doctors, Dr. Rino is the eleventh child of the late Dr. Felipe Lorenzo Sr., a surgeon, and Dra. Peregrina Lorenzo, an anesthesiologist. He is the ninth member of the family to become a doctor, his choice greatly influenced by the fact that both his parents come from the medical profession.

With many years of experience in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery procedures, Dr. Rino Lorenzo combines excellent training with a caring, attentive, and compassionate bedside manner. He graduated from the Pontifical University of Santo Tomas with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology as his preparatory course to medicine. He then took his medical education at the same institution, graduating within the top ten percentile of his class. His special interest in the field of surgery led Dr. Rino to undergo training in general surgery at the Philippine General Hospital Medical Center (PGH). He had years of formal training in Plastic Surgery from the University of the Philippines Section of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, where he also served as Chief Resident of the Department of Surgery during his senior year.

Dr. Rino Lorenzo performs a variety of aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries including dermabrasion; cleft lip, palate, and other congenital defects; scar revision; surgery of physical malformation and malfunction as a result of trauma and burns; and even maxillofacial injuries. In terms of aesthetics, Dr. Rino is an expert in full body contouring, liposuction, abdominoplasty, breast surgery, facial rejuvenation, breast lift, breast reduction, buttocks augmentation, cheek and chin augmentation, rhinoplasty, upper and lower eyes rejuvenation, injectables such as Botox, and Dermal Fillers like Restylane and Perlane.

Dr. Rino Lorenzo is one of the cosmetic plastic consultants at the Borough Medical Care Institute, a center for beauty and wellness that aims to provide safe and quality results in plastic cosmetic surgery, as well as bring back professionalism in this field of medicine by adhering to the correct and safe procedures.
