About Frank Agullo, MD, FACS

Introduction
Frank Agullo, MD, FACS, widely known as “Dr. WorldWide,” is a double board‑certified plastic surgeon and founder of Southwest Plastic Surgery in El Paso, Texas. Trained at the Mayo Clinic, he combines high‑definition body contouring, advanced BBL and BBL revision techniques, and comprehensive mommy makeovers with a strong focus on safety and natural results. A Clinical Associate Professor at Texas Tech and a multi‑time Aesthetic Everything® and Best of El Paso award recipient, Dr. Agullo attracts an international, bilingual patient base from the U.S. and Latin America.

Professional Background

Frank Agullo, MD, FACS -- born Francisco Agullo and known globally as Dr. WorldWide -- is a double board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in El Paso, Texas. Certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery, he brings a philosophy centered on preservation: maintaining and restoring natural anatomy rather than simply altering it. His approach favors techniques that work with the body's existing structures, producing results that look and feel natural over time.

Dr. Agullo is a Clinical Associate Professor of Plastic Surgery at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) and an Affiliate Professor at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), where he trains residents and fellows in both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. He earned his medical degree from Universidad Anahuac in Mexico City, completed his general surgery residency at TTUHSC, and pursued advanced plastic surgery fellowship training at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

His practice is built around preservation-based and combination procedures. In breast surgery, he specializes in the Motiva Preserve technique, a breast augmentation approach that prioritizes tissue preservation and delivers consistently natural results with less disruption to the surrounding anatomy. In facial rejuvenation, he performs deep plane facelifts and endoscopic deep plane facelifts. These techniques address the deeper structural layers of the face, the SMAS and retaining ligaments, producing longer-lasting, more natural results than traditional facelift methods while preserving the integrity of the overlying tissue planes. He is also known for the Supercharged Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), a technique he has refined and presented at national and international conferences, as well as advanced body contouring using J-Plasma/Renuvion, BodyTite, and Morpheus8. His approach to combination procedures is a particular distinction: Dr. Agullo is one of the few plastic surgeons capable of safely and effectively combining multiple procedures -- including face and body surgery -- within a single operation. This allows patients to address multiple areas of concern in one surgical session, reducing cumulative anesthesia exposure and overall recovery time while achieving comprehensive results.

Dr. Agullo has been recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor for ten consecutive years (2014 through 2025) and was inducted into the Texas Super Doctors Hall of Fame in 2025. He has been named Best Plastic Surgeon in El Paso for thirteen consecutive years and received the Aesthetic Everything Top Plastic Surgeon award in 2026. He is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), and the Texas Society of Plastic Surgeons (TSPS). He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS).

Beyond his clinical work, Dr. Agullo served as Founding Vice President and later President of the World Association of Gluteal Surgeons (WAGS), where he contributed to establishing safety standards in gluteal fat grafting procedures worldwide. He has authored peer-reviewed publications, delivered presentations at national and international conferences, and participated in surgical missions abroad.

His practice, Southwest Plastic Surgery, holds accreditation from the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF). Dr. Agullo operates at Del Sol Medical Center, Providence Hospital, El Paso Children's Hospital, and University Medical Center. He has built a global following of over 3.5 million on Instagram (@RealDrWorldWide), where he shares educational content and behind-the-scenes insights into his procedures.
