Arm lift (brachioplasty) in Dr. Luis Eduardo Redondo, M.D.

Dr. Luis Eduardo Redondo, M.D. is a private single-specialty plastic surgery practice located in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. The facility operates out of Centro Medico Bournigal, about 15 minutes from Puerto Plata International Airport. Dr. Redondo maintains two office locations – the second is in Punta Cana.

Professional Accreditations and Expertise

The practice is led by Dr. Luis Eduardo Redondo, a specialist in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. He holds board certification from the Dominican Board of Medicine (CMD).

Dr. Redondo maintains active international professional affiliations. He is an associate member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the Dominican Society of Plastic Surgery (SODOCIPRE). These associations require members to follow strict ethical codes and safety protocols.

The practice follows a surgeon-led model where Dr. Redondo and his direct team perform every operation. This means consistent surgical technique and patient communication. Patients from across the globe travel here for face, breast, and body contouring procedures.

Facial Rejuvenation and Reconstruction

Facial procedures focus on restoring balance and contour through surgery. Options range from minimally invasive techniques to complex reconstructions. The clinic offers:

• Rhinoplasty – open and closed methods for nose reshaping
• Facelift (Rhytidectomy) – surgeries typically lasting 4–5 hours
• Blepharoplasty – eyelid surgery to correct sagging or puffiness
• Otoplasty – ear surgery to improve shape or position
• Brow Lift – also known as a forehead lift or browplasty

The surgical team also performs septoplasty to correct a deviated septum. This improves nasal airflow and is often paired with aesthetic reshaping.

Breast and Body Contouring

The clinic offers a full range of breast surgeries for aesthetic and reconstructive needs. Surgeons use silicone gel or saline implants for augmentation. Fat transfer is also available for select cases. Breast reconstruction helps patients restore their form after mastectomy or lumpectomy.

Body contouring procedures address excess skin and fat through various methods. The Fleur-de-Lis abdominoplasty suits severe cases, such as after extreme weight loss. This technique uses a vertical excision to remove more tissue than a standard tummy tuck. Other body procedures include:

• Liposuction – including 360-degree contouring and Vaser techniques
• Brachioplasty – arm lift surgery lasting 1–3 hours
• Gluteoplasty – including buttock implants and the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
• Mommy Makeover – combined procedures to address post-pregnancy changes

The clinic also treats gynecomastia (male breast reduction). This may involve Vaser liposuction to remove glandular tissue and fat.

Surgical Facility and Postoperative Care

Recovery happens in a dedicated Recovery Room with monitoring staff and medical equipment. Depending on the procedure, patients may go home the same day. More extensive operations require an overnight stay for supervised care.

Preparation protocols vary by health history and age. For breast augmentation, patients must stop smoking six weeks before surgery. This reduces healing complications. Patients should also avoid anti-inflammatory drugs to minimize bleeding during the operation.

International Patient Services

The clinic provides logistics support for patients traveling from abroad. Staff help with travel planning and accommodation near the Puerto Plata or Punta Cana offices. On surgery day, staff meet patients at the hospital to assist with paperwork and administrative needs.
