Facelift in clinic de Especialidades Medicas y Estéticas

Established in 2026, Clinic de Especialidades Medicas y Estéticas is a private multi-specialty facility in Santo Domingo. The clinic operates in the Sector Renacimiento and Mirador Sur districts of the Dominican Republic. It specializes in plastic and reconstructive surgery, aesthetic medicine, and laboratory diagnostics.

Accreditations and Medical Team

The clinic holds recognition from major international and national professional networks. These include the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). It is also a member of the Dominican Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SODOCIPRE).

The medical team includes three specialists: Dr. Felix M. Almanzar Rodríguez and Dr. Juan Carlos Suero de la Cruz. Dr. Suero de la Cruz trained at General Hospital Dr. Rubén Leñero in Mexico City. He also specializes in hand surgery and microsurgery. The team focuses on natural facial and body proportions through structured surgical planning.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

The clinic offers body contouring and facial procedures using surgical and non-surgical methods. Specialists perform 360° Liposuction, which treats the entire midsection, hips, and back. Surgeons use cannulas or syringes connected to suction devices to extract fat and reshape the body.

Breast procedures include augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy (breast lift). Recovery typically lasts 7 to 10 days. The surgical department also performs Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) using gluteoplasty by fat transfer. This technique uses the patient's own fat to add volume and shape.

Facial surgery options include:

• Rhinoplasty for surgical nasal reshaping
• Blefaroplastía (eyelid surgery)
• Braquioplastía (arm contouring)
• Bichectomía to remove buccal fat pads from the cheeks

For patients seeking non-surgical changes, the clinic offers rhinomodelling with hyaluronic acid injections. Botulinum toxin treats dynamic wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes.

Aesthetic Medicine and Diagnostics

The aesthetic medicine department offers non-invasive treatments for localized fat and cellulite. Specialists use ultrasonic cavitation, which applies low-frequency ultrasound waves through the skin. They also perform mesotherapy – micro-injections of active substances into the target tissue.

The facility has an on-site laboratory for pre-operative and general health screening. Available diagnostic services include:

• Complete blood count (hemogram)
• Urinalysis
• Blood typing
• Pregnancy testing

This allows the medical team to run basic and special analyses without external referrals.

Support for International Patients

The clinic offers structured surgical packages for international patients. These plans often include cardiology and anesthetic evaluations, laboratory tests, and an overnight nurse. Some packages provide 5 days of accommodation in a recovery house and the first post-operative compression garment.

Aftercare is a key focus. Dr. Almanzar researches specific supplements and practices to speed up healing. Patients learn to use post-surgical girdles to reduce bruising and infection risk. The clinic also provides dietary guidance. It advises patients to avoid common allergens like wheat and soy 2–4 weeks before surgery.
