Muttermal-Kartierung und digitale Dermatoskopie zur Beurteilung von Muttermalen in Sculptor Clinic

Sculptor Clinic is a private multi-specialty aesthetic center in Santo Domingo. Established in 2018 by Dr. Ricardo Ventura Herrera, the clinic operates through four specialized departments. It brings together plastic surgery, dermatology, aesthetic medicine, and functional medicine under one roof.

Accreditations and Achievements

The clinic holds accreditation from ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery). This certification confirms adherence to international standards in plastic surgery and patient safety. Medical Director Dr. Ricardo Ventura Herrera has treated over 2,000 patients throughout his career. The clinic sees both local Caribbean residents and international patients from the United States and Latin America.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Dr. Ricardo Ventura Herrera leads the surgical department. He has over 15 years of experience. The team focuses on body contouring and breast surgery using VASERlipo™ technology. This ultrasound-based system gives better skin retraction than traditional liposuction. Surgeons perform a range of body and facial procedures:

• 3D Abdominoplasty and mini abdominoplasty
• Hi-Tech breast reduction and lift
• Mommy makeover and full body lift
• Facial feminization surgery (FFS)
• Chin liposuction and brachioplasty (arm lift)
• Muscle enhancement and contouring

Each surgical case follows a structured three-step pathway. This includes a medical history review, the procedure itself, and clinical follow-up by the medical team.

Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine

The dermatology team treats skin, hair, and nails through corrective and aesthetic procedures. Dr. Jatnna Filpo specializes in clinical dermatology and minor surgery. She trained at the Huberto Bogaert Díaz Institute, then completed further training in Mexico. The clinic offers Cellulift®, which uses Avéli® technology to treat cellulite at its source. This method releases fibrous bands under the skin to smooth the surface.

Dr. Emely Tejada leads the aesthetic medicine direction. She is a certified specialist in functional medicine and nutrition. The department offers several non-surgical facial and body treatments:

• Ultraformer III – high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for skin tightening
• Venus Legacy – technology for body contouring and skin smoothing
• Glúteo-Escultura – non-surgical gluteal enhancement using polylactic and hyaluronic acids
• Radiesse – calcium hydroxyapatite injections for gradual collagen stimulation
• Dry Detox Axilar – botulinum toxin injections for excessive sweating, lasting up to 12 months

Specialists also perform personalized Botox treatments for forehead and frown lines. Sessions typically last 10–15 minutes, so patients can return to daily activities right away.

Diagnostic and Treatment Technologies

Sculptor Clinic uses brand-name platforms to ensure treatment precision. For body composition analysis, the clinic relies on InBody 270™. This tool measures lean mass and fat across the arms, legs, and trunk using bioelectrical impedance. Skin resurfacing is done with the Lutronic eCO2 laser system. The clinic also offers PDRN treatments, which use DNA-derived molecules to support skin repair and hydration.

Services for International Patients

The clinic supports medical tourists throughout their stay in Santo Domingo. Virtual consultations are available for patients in the United States and Latin America who need remote assessments. Staff speak English to accommodate international visitors. A concierge service guides patients from first contact through recovery. Follow-up care is built into every treatment plan to track long-term results.
