Rhinoplasty (nose job) in Dr. José Sturla
About the clinic
Rhinoplasty at Dr. José Sturla’s practice in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, can address nasal appearance and breathing concerns. Dr. Sturla is a facial plastic surgeon and ENT who pioneered hybrid functional rhinoplasty in the Dominican Republic.
Rhinoplasty options with Dr. Sturla
Hybrid functional rhinoplasty treats the nose’s internal structure and external appearance in one operation. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty uses sound-wave technology to reshape nasal bones and support the nasal tip with less trauma to nearby tissue. The technique may allow faster social recovery.
Aesthetic rhinoplasty can refine the nasal tip and balance the nose with the face. Revision rhinoplasty can address breathing or appearance concerns after previous nose surgery.
Dr. Sturla completed subspecialty training in Facial Plastic Surgery and Rhinology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. He also trained in Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, the United States, and Spain. His memberships include the Spanish Society of Otorhinolaryngology and the Mexican Society of Facial Surgery and Rhinology.
Assessment and recovery
Planning starts with an evaluation of the patient’s facial features and nasal anatomy. Tests may include nasal endoscopy, laryngoscopy, otoscopy, and an assessment of the nasal septum.
Surgery may also address a deviated septum, nasal congestion, chronic sinusitis, enlarged turbinates, nasal polyps, snoring, or sleep apnea. Patients should tell the specialist about all medicines and supplements, since some can raise bleeding risk. They should not stop taking them without medical advice.
The practice reports roughly zero to two weeks of pain-free recovery, though swelling can last longer. The nose may continue to refine over the following months. Follow-up visits track healing and keep the surgeon involved in recovery.
Consultations are available in person or online. Dr. Sturla’s practice works from three centers in Santo Domingo: Torre KP, Centro Gaon, and Clínica Oftalmológica. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss whether rhinoplasty may fit their needs.

Dr. José Sturla: more details about the clinic
Dr. José Sturla is a specialized medical practice in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The center focuses on facial plastic surgery and rhinology. The practice operates across three locations in the city, including Torre KP and Grupo GAON. Dr. Sturla is a facial plastic surgeon and an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist.
Medical Specialization and Performance
The clinic reports a 99% satisfaction rate across its surgical and aesthetic procedures. Dr. Sturla completed his medical training at the University of Havana. He later earned a sub-specialty in facial plastic surgery and rhinology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
The practice covers three primary medical directions:
- Facial Plastic Surgery
- Otorhinolaryngology (ENT)
- Aesthetic Medicine and Cosmetology
Dr. Sturla pioneered hybrid functional rhinoplasty techniques in the Dominican Republic. This approach addresses both the nose's internal structure and external appearance. Every surgical plan begins with a detailed evaluation to respect the patient's facial identity.
Advanced Rhinoplasty and Nasal Care
The clinic specializes in ultrasonic rhinoplasty for primary and revision cases. This method uses ultrasonic technology to reshape nasal bone with high precision. It reconstructs nasal tip support while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues. Because the technique is so precise, patients often recover socially faster.
The medical team treats several functional nasal conditions:
- Deviated septum – restoring the central breathing axis
- Nasal congestion and chronic sinusitis
- Turbinate reduction and nasal polyp removal
- Sleep apnea and snoring
For complex cases, Dr. Sturla performs secondary or revision rhinoplasty. These procedures correct breathing issues or aesthetic problems from previous surgeries.
Facial Contouring and Aesthetic Medicine
The practice offers a variety of facial rejuvenation surgeries. Surgeons perform blepharoplasty with incisions hidden within natural eyelid folds. For jawline definition, the clinic provides cervical liposuction. This removes excess fat from the neck and chin to create a sharp mandibular angle.
Aesthetic medicine services provide non-surgical facial harmonization. Dr. Sturla uses specific collagen-stimulating biostimulators and dermal fillers:
- Profhilo for deep hydration and skin texture improvement
- Radiesse and Sculptra for volume and collagen production
- Hyaluronic acid fillers for lips and nasolabial folds
- Botulinum toxin for expression wrinkles
These treatments target skin quality and facial volume without surgery. All aesthetic procedures include personalized follow-up to monitor results.
Diagnostic Capabilities
The practice uses specialized ENT diagnostic tools to create treatment plans. These evaluations address the underlying anatomy before any procedure. Available diagnostic methods include:
- Nasal endoscopy to examine internal nasal passages
- Laryngoscopy and otoscopy
- Functional assessments for deviated septums
Specialists use these exams to determine if breathing issues need surgery or medical management.
Services for International Patients
The clinic provides personalized support for patients traveling from abroad. Staff assist with travel coordination and local accommodation. Virtual consultations let international patients receive an initial evaluation before traveling. Post-operative care includes structured follow-up to monitor recovery and maintain communication with the surgeon.
