Dr. Gabriel Calderón

Dr. Gabriel Calderón leads a specialized medical practice in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The clinic operates within CEDIMAT, a private healthcare facility. This practice combines plastic surgery and craniomaxillofacial expertise for aesthetic and reconstructive needs. One building houses the surgical department and clinical examination rooms.

Accreditations and Specialist Expertise

Dr. Gabriel Calderón is a Board Certified plastic and craniomaxillofacial surgeon. He trained at two prominent Brazilian reference centers: the Instituto Ivo Pitanguy and the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics (INTO). He graduated from Universidad Iberoamericana (UNIBE).

He maintains active memberships in several professional organizations:

• Sociedad Dominicana de Cirugía Plástica, Reconstructiva y Estética (SODOCIPRE)
• Colegio Médico Dominicano (CMD)
• Conselho Regional de Medicina do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (CREMERJ)
• Associação dos Ex-alunos do Professor Ivo Pitanguy (AexPI)

The clinic has a medical team of nine doctors. These specialists use digital planning to project possible surgical outcomes while respecting individual anatomy.

Facial Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery

The clinic specializes in structured rhinoplasty for dorsal deviations and bulbous tips. This method aims for a natural profile. Surgeons also perform secondary rhinoplasty to repair nostrils or lift dropped nasal tips. Digital planning analyzes facial proportions and bone structure before surgery begins.

Aesthetic facial options include several corrective procedures:

• Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
• Rhytidoplasty (facelifts)
• Mentoplasty (chin augmentation)
• Otoplasty (ear surgery)
• Bichectomy (cheek fat removal)

Mentoplasty may involve placing an implant for augmentation. Surgeons can also use the patient's bone to advance or retract the chin. Reconstructive services cover orbital and mandibular fractures. Titanium plates, screws, and mesh stabilize injuries and rebuild bone structures.

Pediatric craniofacial surgery is available for cleft lip and palate cases. This includes specialized rhinoplasty and orthognathic surgery for cleft-related deformities. Ear reconstruction uses cartilage and skin lining across two phases.

Body Contouring and Rejuvenation

Body contouring procedures refine physical proportions. The clinic offers Vaser liposuction and traditional liposuction techniques. Surgeons perform abdominoplasty and the Brazilian butt-lift (BBL) using silicone implants. Breast surgeries include augmentation, mastopexy (lift), and reduction for both men and women.

Specialized body procedures include:

• Brachioplasty (arm lift)
• Thigh lifting
• Calf implants
• Gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction)
• Nymphoplasty

The clinic also provides biopolymer withdrawal. This treatment helps patients with inflammatory reactions from synthetic fillers. For non-surgical rejuvenation, the practice uses botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid fillers. These injections correct wrinkles and scars by filling tissue under the skin.

Services for International Patients

The clinic supports international patients through a detailed online evaluation process. Patients submit health data including BMI and medical history. The evaluation covers medication allergies, smoking habits, and previous surgeries. Front, side, and rear photos are needed for surgical planning. The team reviews these details to coordinate preferred procedure dates.
