Breast augmentation in DRS. LIMA-MEJÍA PLASTIC SURGERY (clinic)
About the clinic
Breast augmentation with implants at Drs. Lima-Mejía Plastic Surgery in Santo Domingo Este, Dominican Republic, changes breast size and shape. Plastic surgeon Dr. Luis Lima Vargas has over 30 years of experience and leads the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department at Dr. Ramón de Lara Military Hospital.
Implants and anesthesia
The procedure may address breast asymmetry or volume loss after pregnancy or weight loss. Implants are placed to enhance breast size and shape. Surgery uses local anesthesia with sedation, and patients do not need to stay overnight.
Dr. Lima Vargas trained in the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and Mexico. He is a member of the Dominican Society of Plastic Surgery and FILACP, the Ibero-Latin American Federation of Plastic Surgery.
Recovery and preparation
The clinic describes a 15-day post-operative period. Its operating room staff provide recovery therapies aimed at reducing abnormal inflammation and infection. Patients wear a compression bra and stockings for at least two days, and walk two hours daily for 15 days.
Restrictions include no exercise or heavy lifting for 60 days. Patients should avoid driving for 15 days and air or bus travel for 21 days. Other instructions include avoiding sun, heat, smoking, alcohol, face-down sleeping, and raising the arms above the shoulders.
Before surgery, patients need two showers with disinfectant soap and a semi-solid diet. They should have dinner before 9:00 PM the night before, bring test results and evaluations, and arrive at 7:45 AM. One companion over 14 years old may attend.
The clinic has luxury, home-like recovery rooms and offers outpatient breast surgery. To discuss whether this procedure may suit your needs, request a consultation through Bookimed.

Facial Surgery and Rejuvenation
The clinic performs several surgical procedures to improve facial symmetry and address signs of aging. Rhinoplasty modifies the nose structure or corrects congenital breathing defects. Surgeons use either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the case. Recovery for nose surgery typically lasts one week.
Other facial surgical options include:
- Blepharoplasty to improve the appearance of the eyelids
- Otoplasty to reposition or reshape the ears
- Surgical facelifts for tissue tightening
Specialists also offer non-surgical facial treatments such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion. These methods remove dead skin layers to reduce wrinkles and skin stains. Botox microinjections relax targeted muscles and smooth expression lines.
Body Contouring and Breast Surgery
Body surgery at the clinic focuses on fat removal and silhouette reshaping. Liposuction is the primary technique for fat extraction. For patients seeking non-surgical alternatives, the clinic offers ultra cavitation. This method uses ultrasound to target fat cells in the abdomen and legs without incisions.
Breast procedures are performed under controlled sedation or general anesthesia:
- Breast augmentation using implants to enhance size and shape
- Breast reduction surgery
- Gluteal sculpting using fat injection techniques
Non-surgical skin tightening is also available through tripolar radiofrequency sessions. This technology improves skin texture and tone without anesthesia.
Safety Protocols and Recovery Support
The clinic follows a structured care pathway to reduce the risk of post-operative complications. Patients receive specialized recovery therapies managed by the operating room staff. These treatments help prevent abnormal inflammation and infections after surgery.
Patients get detailed safety guidelines for the 60 days following a procedure:
- No physical exercise or heavy lifting
- Avoidance of sun, heat, and humid environments
- Strict abstinence from smoking and alcohol
- Use of compression garments and stockings for at least two days
Specialists also require patients to walk for two hours daily for 15 days. This aids circulation during recovery.
Services for International Patients
The clinic treats international patients in a facility with spacious, luxury recovery rooms. These accommodations provide a home-like environment during the initial healing phase. Pre-operative coordination happens through scheduled appointments to ensure efficient timing.
On surgery day, patients arrive at 7:45 AM for final preparations. The clinic provides specific pre-surgical instructions, including disinfectant soap use and dietary restrictions. Post-operative care is inclusive, with staff providing continuous monitoring during recovery therapies.
