“Sometimes people just need to hear that they’re pretty,” said Dr. Jennifer Tighe de Soto. “Seeing the change in our patients as they grow their confidence makes it easy to be passionate about what we do.”
“It’s like planting a garden and then watching it bloom!”
Helping people discover their self-confidence has been fueling the Imagen team since first opening their doors back in 2013. Established by husband & wife surgeons, Drs. Frank & Jennifer Soto, Imagen is not only Nebraska’s premier cosmetic center, but the team is entirely made up of women and Latinos.
Located in Omaha’s Regency neighborhood, Imagen is a spa-like clinic with board-certified surgeons and the most advanced body sculpting and facial techniques available.
In fact, many of those treatments are exclusive to Imagen.
“We’re proud to be the first and only clinic in Omaha and Nebraska to offer the Renuvion skin tightening system,” said Dr. Frank Soto. “Renuvion can be found in some of the bigger clinics in Miami, Los Angeles, and New York, but we are the first clinic to bring it to Omaha.”
Dr. Frank Soto grew up in Colombia, a country known worldwide as a leading cosmetic surgery hub. In fact, Dr. Frank is one of a handful of U.S. surgeons who have been trained by the Colombian doctor who invented the 4D Hi-Def Liposuction technique.
“I consider myself an adopted Nebraskan,” said Dr. Frank. “I was born in Colombia and came to Nebraska as an exchange student at TriCounty High School. I fell in love with the Midwest and its culture, and decided to stay.”
Dr. Jennifer was born and raised in Omaha, and studied medicine at Creighton University. “I started my medical career in the ER but gravitated towards cosmetic surgery because I love fostering relationships with my patients and helping them feel more confident.”
And those personal relationships continue beyond the procedure. “We encourage healthy lifestyles and do our part to teach our patients how to maintain their results through good diet and exercise choices.”
