CECIP – Center for Plastic Surgery and Specialties

CECIP – Center for Plastic Surgery and Specialties is a private single-specialty clinic in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Established in 2026, the center operates from its facility in the Gazcue district. Dr. Manuela Corona leads the practice. She is a certified specialist in plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgery.

Certifications and Professional Background

The clinic holds accreditation from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). This certification signals adherence to international standards in surgical safety and aesthetic practice. Dr. Corona received her medical training in Brazil.

She attended the National Congress of the Dominican Society of Plastic Surgery in 2026. Her recent professional focus includes modern approaches to breast surgery and aesthetic advancements.

Body Contouring and Reconstructive Procedures

The practice specializes in body surgery and combined contouring plans. These procedures aim for natural outcomes suited to individual anatomy. Common surgical options include:

• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles.
• Liposculpture for detailed fat removal and body shaping.
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) using fat transfer to enhance the gluteal region.
• Brachioplasty to address sagging tissue in the upper arms.

Many patients choose combined surgical plans to address multiple areas in one session. For example, a tummy tuck can be paired with liposculpture and fat transfer to the hips. These combinations are planned individually after a medical evaluation.

Breast and Facial Surgery

The clinic offers breast modification and facial rejuvenation procedures. Breast procedures cover augmentation, lifting, and reduction for both aesthetic and medical reasons. Services include:

• Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without implants.
• Breast augmentation using silicone implants for volume enhancement.
• Reduction mammaplasty to treat excessively large breasts.
• Gynecomastia surgery to correct enlarged breast tissue in male patients.

Facial procedures focus on harmony and contouring. The team performs cervical plasty to tighten the neck area and chin liposuction to define the jawline.

Patient Safety and Surgical Protocols

Safety is managed through structured evaluation and preoperative screening. Every surgical plan begins with a complete medical history. This includes reviewing prior diseases, medications, and allergies to reduce surgical risks.

The clinic provides a detailed quotation before confirming any procedure. This breakdown covers medical fees, anesthesia, and surgical materials. It also includes laboratory studies, radiography, and cardiovascular evaluations.
