Accreditations and Professional Standings
Dr. Ariel Emilio Guerrero Dotel is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. This certification confirms he meets specific educational and clinical standards for aesthetic practice. He holds active membership in SODOCIPRE, the Dominican Society of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
The clinic focuses on body and facial contouring through surgical methods. Specialists perform several major body procedures:
- Liposuction and high-definition body contouring
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to remove excess abdominal skin
- Cruroplasty (thigh surgery)
- Brachioplasty (arm lift surgery)
- Panniculectomy to remove large skin folds after weight loss
Facial surgery options include facial stretching and rhinomodelling to reshape the nose. The team also treats patients needing care for burns and reconstructive needs.
Breast Surgery Options
Specialists perform procedures for breast enhancement and medical reduction. Surgeons offer breast lift techniques with or without implants, based on desired projection. The clinic treats significant breast hypertrophy through reduction mammaplasty to relieve physical discomfort. A typical breast lift takes 2.5 hours under epidural or local anesthesia with sedation.
Non-Surgical and Anti-Aging Treatments
The clinic offers supportive therapies alongside traditional surgery. These treatments focus on skin rejuvenation and hormonal balance:
- Laser therapy for skin resurfacing and scar treatment
- Facial fillers to restore lost volume in the face
- Sueroterapia (IV nutrient therapy) for systemic wellness
- Hormonal treatments and the "Chip of Youth" implant
These procedures work as standalone aesthetic options or as complements to surgical recovery.
International Patient Services and Recovery
The practice manages appointments through WhatsApp for international patients. Staff provide consultations and care instructions in Spanish. Patients frequently travel from Miami and Havana for treatment.
Post-procedure care follows clear recovery timelines. Most surgical patients need a 15-day recovery period before returning to light activities. The clinic provides specific protocols for compression garments, worn for about two months. During the first few days, patients wear these garments over 20 hours daily. This supports proper healing.
