Dr. José Sturla

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.
