Dr. Perez served at the Kansas City VA Medical Center for over two decades, stepping down from his role in February 2024. His tenure at the Veterans Health Administration Medical Center began in 2002, immediately following his residency at Loma Linda University Medical Center. Providing care for military veterans—who have heroically served our nation and often face injuries, illnesses, or diseases—was a cornerstone of Dr. Perez's career.

Dr. Perez remains deeply committed to the well-being of veterans, a dedication that continues to influence his approach in private cosmetic practice.

"If you are looking for the best board-certified plastic surgeon in KC, look no further. I've been going to Renue for 5 years and Dr. Perez does such an amazing job that I'd never consider letting anyone else touch my face. They offer a wide variety of services including but not limited to fillers, breast implants, rhinoplasty and lipo; additionally, they have a great med spa that I frequent for facials. I completely trust Dr. Perez and Diana's recommendations and know that I'm always in great hands. Not only are they true professionals, they are also amazing people and truly care that you get the best results possible."
"Dr. Victor M. Perez at Renue Aesthetic Surgery is AMAZING!! Dr. Perez and his staff are polite and professional, absolutely the best in Overland Park and KC area. Dr. Perez spends time with you going over what you see and what he sees. He is honest, ensuring he knows what your expectations are and how those can be met. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Perez and his wonderful staff!"
"Dr. Perez deserves a 100 star review. He is passionate about his artistic ability and transformation of the human body. Within the first 5 minutes of my 60 minute consultation with him I felt at ease; he sketched a diagram of the exact procedure step by step and his philosophy on why he takes a different approach to the standard tummy tuck with lipo to the flanks like 99% of his colleges. Safety and success rate is his number one concern. His high lateral tension technique eliminates the need to add additional lipo to the flanks ultimately reducing the risk of skin necrosis. Dr Perez’s CV is commensurate with his knowledge and experience as a surgeon. His bedside manner and demeanor immediately put me at ease with regard to this major surgery (abdominoplasty) Upon entering his practice I was greeted professionally every single time. I requested a letter for work from his patient care coordinator Miss Aranzazu and within 24 hours it was sent to my email. Dr Perez’ nurse Diane was exceptional with providing in depth pre op and post op instructions. More importantly she explained the why behind the surgery itself and all of the details inherent. The outpatient surgery center at St Luke’s South was also world class. Every single single encounter starting with the intake receptionist, to the prep op nurse, to Dr. Martin the Anesthesiologist and her anesthetist were the most professional and courteous team I have ever encountered in a medical facility. I would highly recommend anyone wishing to pursue aesthetic surgery, to first see Dr. Perez with Renue Aesthetic Surgery as your first stop."
