Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

The surgical department focuses on body contouring and breast procedures. Surgeons use fat transfer techniques and implants to restore or enhance physical proportions. The clinic offers several major surgical options:

• Athletic Liposculpture – uses liposuction and fat transfer to define abdominal muscle contours.
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) – involves lipoinjection into the buttocks for volume and shape.
• Tummy Tuck – includes standard abdominoplasty and the Fleur De Lis technique for significant skin removal.
• Breast Surgery – covers augmentation with implants, mastopexy (lifting), and reduction.
• Facial Surgery – includes rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and bichectomy to remove buccal fat pads.

All procedures take place in certified clinical settings with strict biosecurity protocols. This helps minimize risks during and after surgery.

Aesthetic Medicine and Non-Surgical Treatments

The practice offers non-surgical options for patients who want subtle enhancements without major downtime. These treatments target facial balance and skin rejuvenation:

• Facial Harmonization – uses hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite to balance facial features.
• Expression Line Treatments – Botox and Baby Botox soften wrinkles while preserving natural movement.
• Lip Enhancement – profiling and volume shaping for improved definition.
• Biostimulation – includes PRP (platelet-rich plasma), collagen, and fibroblast treatments.

These methods can replace or supplement surgical facelifts. The medical team tailors each treatment to the patient's facial structure.

International Patient Services

The clinic treats both local and overseas patients with personalized support throughout. Since international travel requires planning, virtual consultations let patients discuss goals before arrival. These sessions allow the doctor to explain options and answer questions remotely.

Patients visiting the Dominican Republic can schedule in-person evaluations at either location. The practice provides ongoing support to ensure safe recovery.
