Assessment with hormone tests and mammography

- Hormonal blood tests and urine tests: Part of the pre-operative workup to help identify possible causes.
- Mammography: An imaging test included in the listed diagnostic options.
Two surgical methods for gynecomastia
- Liposuction for fatty tissue: A roughly 4 mm incision allows liposuction of fatty tissue in the chest. Surgery takes about 1.5 hours under general anesthesia with sedation. The stay is one night, with a listed recovery time of 15 days.
- Liposuction with gland excision: Liposuction is combined with an incision along the lower edge of the areola to remove firm glandular tissue. The surgeon reshapes the chest and checks nipple symmetry. A small drain may sometimes be placed. Surgery takes about 1.5 hours under general anesthesia with sedation, followed by one night in hospital and a listed 15-day recovery.
- Combined trunk contouring: Gynecomastia correction can be combined with liposuction of the abdomen and flanks.
The two listed surgery options include a one-night hospital stay and a post-operative compression girdle. The clinic reports overnight care with 24-hour monitoring. Dominican medical insurance may cover gynecomastia correction when medically indicated.
Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss the assessment and suitable surgical option.

Dr. Franklin Peña: more details about the clinic
Experience and Medical Board Recognitions

- SODOCIPRE (Dominican Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery)

- ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons)
- ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery)

Facial and Nasal Surgery
The clinic offers aesthetic rhinoplasty for functional and cosmetic improvements. Patients may choose specific sub-procedures:
- Nasal tip definition and lifting
- Nostril reduction
- Rhinoseptoplasty to correct the nasal septum
- Turbinoplasty to improve breathing
Facelift procedures remove excess skin and reposition underlying tissue. Surgeons often combine these with eyelid surgery or fillers for a complete result. Operations typically last between 1 and 2 hours.
Body Contouring and Breast Procedures
Breast augmentation uses silicone or saline implants. Surgeons use five different placement methods, including incisions through the armpit or navel. The clinic also performs mastopexy (breast lift) and male breast reduction for gynecomastia.
For body rejuvenation, the team provides several surgical options:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
- Athletic liposculpture and liposuction
- Gluteoplasty for buttock augmentation
- Myoplasty for calf augmentation using implants
- Brachioplasty for arm contouring
Calf augmentation takes about 90 minutes. It's recommended for patients with undeveloped muscles or asymmetries from previous injuries.
Nonsurgical Aesthetic Treatments
The clinic provides nonsurgical options for patients who don't need invasive surgery. These include hyaluronic acid injections and dermal fillers for facial volume. Specialists also offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and lymphatic drainage to support recovery.
International Patient Services
The practice supports remote planning for patients traveling from abroad. Dr. Franklin Peña conducts 30-minute virtual consultations via WhatsApp video call. These sessions allow for pre-evaluation and surgical planning before arrival. To secure a surgery date, patients can provide a partial deposit after their online assessment.
Surgical procedures require an overnight stay for 24-hour medical monitoring. International patients should remain in the Dominican Republic for several days after discharge. This ensures they are stable for travel and can receive necessary follow-up care.
