Dr. Christine Iglesias is a private plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine practice in the Piantini neighborhood of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The clinic operates with a dedicated medical team of two specialists who focus on personalized aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Care plans are built around individual anatomy and patient expectations.
Accreditations and Professional Background
The clinic holds accreditation from the SBCP (Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery). Lead specialist Dr. Christine Iglesias completed her plastic surgery residency at the Osvaldo Saldanha Plastic Surgery Department in Brazil. She also earned a Master's in Aesthetic Medicine in Rio de Janeiro.
The medical team participates in international training and research. Dr. Iglesias has presented case reports at the General Surgery Congress of São Paulo. She has also completed specialized courses at Harvard University and Yale University. The practice is a member of the Dominican Society of Plastic Surgery.
Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring
Specialists perform a variety of surgical procedures to reshape the face and body. The clinic emphasizes a technical approach to achieve natural results. Surgical options include:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), including mini and reverse techniques
- Liposculpture and laser liposuction for targeted fat removal
- Gluteal fat transfer to improve buttock volume using harvested fat
- Brachioplasty (arm lift) and cruroplasty (thigh lift)
- Intimate surgery, including labiaplasty and lipoinjection of the labia majora
Breast procedures are a major focus of the surgical department. Surgeons perform mastopexy (breast lift) with or without implants to restore breast shape. Patients can also choose breast augmentation, reduction, or implant removal (explant).
Aesthetic Medicine and Facial Rejuvenation
The clinic provides minimally invasive treatments to restore skin quality and facial definition. These services complement surgical care for a refreshed appearance. Facial procedures and treatments include:
- Blepharoplasty to remove excess skin and fat from upper and lower eyelids
- Bichectomy for buccal fat reduction and a more defined look
- Cervical lifting to rejuvenate the neck contour
- Hyaluronic acid lip design and facial harmonization
- Collagen bio-stimulators, specifically Sculptra, for skin firmness
The aesthetic department also uses bio-stimulation and hydration treatments such as Profhilo. Every plan is individualized to avoid generic results. This means restoration is prioritized over transformation.
Patient Safety and Evaluation Protocols
Safety is built into every stage of the surgical process. The clinic uses BMI (Body Mass Index) evaluation to determine candidate suitability. This helps identify risks and set realistic recovery goals. Surgeons do not offer generic procedure "combos" – patient health comes first.
The consultation workflow follows a step-by-step process. Patients provide medical details and recent blood analyses. Recovery time varies by procedure but generally ranges from one to four weeks. Postoperative support includes specific guidance, such as the importance of walking after surgery.
Services for International Patients
International patients can access specialized support through virtual consultations. This allows people living outside Santo Domingo to begin the evaluation process remotely. The clinic provides structured planning before the patient arrives in the Dominican Republic. Preparation instructions and surgery dates are coordinated through these digital sessions.
