Lutgardo Caparas, MD

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Dr. Caparas and their entire team. From the very first consultation to my final post-op check-up, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Caparas was not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled but also compassionate, patient, and attentive to every question and concern I had.

The results of my breast surgery have exceeded my expectations — both aesthetically and in terms of how comfortable and confident I now feel. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the entire process, and the support I received pre- and post-surgery made such a difference in my recovery.



If you’re considering breast surgery and want a surgeon who truly listens, delivers beautiful results, and makes you feel safe every step of the way, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Caparas. Thank you for changing my life in the most positive way and increasing my confidence!

I had the best experience with Zi Institute! Dr Jun Caparas is a top plastic surgeon! I couldn't fault him. He was meticulous with his work and a perfectionist! He did a wonderful job with my liposuction and tummy tuck procedure. He was extremely professional, compassionate and caring and was surrounded by amazing and equally caring team - Cath, Raven, Chris and the wonderful nurse Nora who cared for me post op.
Nurse Nora was very knowledgeable and experienced but most of all, she truly cares. She helped me a lot by letting me know what to expect and by being kind the whole time I was a patient. She went the extra mile in providing care and for that, I'm truly grateful!

The best cant explain the feeling! Its like the dream body I never had! Really recommend this doctor he is absolutely amazing!!. Thumbs up to his clinic and staff they have been with me throughout my journey

Really happy with my results!! Dr Jun Caparas is the best surgeon out there! Hes really hands on with everything. I would also like to recommend his staff they are really nice and very caring!. I can now show my barbie arms and flaunt for the world to see!

I wanted to wait until I could gather some pictures before writing this review, but I'm afraid that once life starts getting in the way again, I won't have the time and Dr. Caparas and his team really deserve the praises of this review.

I had my tummy tuck performed only 12 days ago and I could not be happier. What struck me the most about his expertise is his utmost regard for safety. I went in requesting an additional procedure to be performed, but due to the outcome of my tummy tuck, he made a decision that it'd be best to wait, and I'm glad he did.

12 days in, I'm able to move quite liberally, there is virtually nothing I cannot do on my own (walking, sitting, getting up from bed, etc.) and my incision is healing very fast.

I traveled from neighboring Guam to see doctor Caparas and I'm so glad I did. The staff speaks English fluently and I had no issue understanding or being understood.

One last special note on the Zi Institute's staff members: you all are absolute gold! Ms. Kat, you never skipped a beat when I needed you and promptly answered all my questions and concerns professionally and caringly. Nurse Nora: I adore you! You treated me like a friend and a patient and a sister! You took care of me with patience and concern and I'm forever grateful for all of you. Until the next time!

I was hoping I could find a before picture, but I could not. For reference though, I lost about 10 inches in my waist area and roughly 6-7 in my hips. Still feeling stiff in my hips, flanks, and lower abdominal area and the feelings gets worse after extended periods of inactivity. I can't complain though. My scar looks dark at this point but healing very fast.

Finally found a before picture! At almost 6 weeks from my surgery, I feel great. I'm still quite swollen on my incision, but a lot less than I used to be. I do lymphatic massages on my stomach area at least once daily with massage oil. I'm also keeping on losing weight steadily, although I'm also eating clean and taking vitamins.

Dr. Jun Caparas of Zi Institute is arguably the best plastic surgeon you can find; especially in the Philippines. From my initial consultation, medical examinations pre-surgery to post-surgery care during the Covid19 pandemic and lockdown, I've only received the best care, consideration, and professional medical service.


Dr. Caparas handpicks his medical team, closely mentors them, and has consistently earned their respect and admiration as an expert in his field, as a mentor, as a doctor, as a superior and friend. As a loyal and highly satisfied patient, I am happy to say that he has earned the very same respect and trust from me. 

With Dr. Caparas, you are safe, well-cared for, and treated humanely, respectfully, and happily. My life is forever changed and I am very blessed to have such a doctor and a top notch medical team. What's even better is that he charges fairly, not exorbitantly. For plastic surgery, he's the doctor you can trust.

My experience was very good. I read positive reviews about him online and my friends recommended his Clinic since it was near my place of residence. Dr Jun is very professional and approachable as well as his staff. I have been happy with their services since 2018.

Dr. Jun is amazing! How my procedure went, how he looked after me post op, how he answered all my questions and worries. Everything was addressed professionally and patiently. 5 years after my 1st procedure and 3 years after my Lipo, I never regretted choosing him as the surgeon to trust.

Let me share with you my experience at Zi Institute of Plastic Surgery and Dermaesthetics with Dr. Lutgardo “Jun” Caparas Jr. and Dra. Cynthia Caparas. For your information, Dr. Jun Caparas is known not only one of the best plastic surgeon but the best breast implant surgeon in the country. First of all, if you are a type of person who is vain and looking for perfection to enhance your beauty, and you want to achieve the best possible treatment care ever, for me Zi Clinic is the right place to visit to address your concerns from A to Z. 

At first, I was hesitant to undergo breast augmentation surgery for some reasons, but since Dr. Jun Caparas is knowledgeable and well-experienced in his craft, I have decided to proceed with the surgery. It’s been a year and eight months now and I consider the success of my breast implants a 100%. I’m so happy and content with the outcome really. It looks real and feels real, and I truly feel good about myself and more confident now. And eight months ago, I had lower blepharoplasty (removal of eye bags) and liposuction of the abdomen to achieve a smaller waistline and nice body contour. Mind you, I didn’t see any trace of scar on the lower eyelid in just a couple of weeks after I had the procedure. My abdomen is firmer and contoured, and my waistline now is less than 27 inches from 31 inches. Imagine, I lost more than 4 inches! Isn’t that amazing?! Everything went well with my surgery as expected and once again, I highly commend Dr. Jun Caparas for doing another astounding job.


Also, I had HIFU for skin tightening or non-surgical facelift under the treatment care of Dra. Cynthia Caparas, the specialist in dermaesthetics at Zi Clinic. In my opinion, I find HIFU better than thermage. Why? Because it shows acceptable results already even during the first session and great results after the three sessions of treatment. Trust me, it rejuvenated and refreshed my appearance and looking ten years younger and more. I believe so because I can see it and others see it and received compliments from people I know and even don’t know. Money wise, HIFU is achievable.


I highly recommend both Dr. Lutgardo “Jun” Caparas Jr. and his wife Dra. Cynthia Caparas not only for their expertise but commendable as well for their honesty and reliability. And I find all the services in Zi Clinic cost effective which only means you get your money’s worth. Kudos to both lovely couple doctors and their Staff. Thank you very much. “Proud to say Zinong doctor ko, Zi Dr. Lutgardo “Jun” Caparas Jr. because I Zi myself now more beauZiful.” Looking forward to Zi you all again. God bless you all...
