Dr. Kemil Issa is a private plastic surgery clinic in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The facility operates across six departments within a single building. It focuses on surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures for the face and body.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
The clinic offers several surgical options for aging signs and body contour concerns. Dr. Kemil Issa, the primary specialist, focuses on cosmetic surgery and facial rejuvenation. Procedures are grouped by body area to help patients match treatments with their goals.
Face surgery options include:
- Facelift and Eyebrow Lifting
- Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
- Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping)
- Mentoplasty (chin surgery) and Otoplasty (ear surgery)
- Cervicoplasty (neck lift) and Facial Implants
Body contouring and breast surgeries include:
- Liposuction and Liposculpture
- Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty)
- Thigh Lift and Brachioplasty (arm lift)
- Breast Augmentation and Breast Reduction
- Mastopexy (breast lift)
For buttocks enhancement, patients can choose gluteal lipoinjection or buttock implants.
Specialized Surgical Techniques
Brachioplasty uses three distinct incision techniques. The choice depends on how much excess skin and fat is present. Type 1 cases with minimal flaccidity use small incisions and liposculpture. More advanced cases require removing loose skin to restore arm contours.
Abdominoplasty is performed under general anesthesia to correct muscle laxity and remove excess fat. Liposuction for localized deposits typically needs local anesthesia and sedation. More extensive fat removal is done under general anesthesia for patient comfort.
Thigh lift surgery uses superior and medial skin tracing. This technique lifts tissues to create smoother contours on the inner and outer thighs.
Non-Surgical Rejuvenation
The clinic offers non-surgical face rejuvenation for patients who prefer less invasive options. These treatments can be performed alongside or instead of surgery. Results focus on correcting visible aging signs without long recovery periods.
Available non-surgical treatments include:
- Botulinum Toxin (Botox)
- Dermal Fillers using Hyaluronic Acid
- Plasma Facelift using platelets
These methods target fine lines and volume loss in the face.
Services for International Patients
International patients receive guidance on choosing between ambulatory and inpatient surgery. Ambulatory surgery allows same-day discharge and can occur outside a hospital setting. Inpatient procedures require a hospital stay and registration on the day of surgery.
The clinic provides specific preoperative safety instructions:
- Avoid alcohol for five days before the procedure
- Notify the clinic if a cold or illness develops
- Bathe with antibacterial soap the night before surgery
- Fast from all food and drink after midnight
These steps help ensure patient safety and procedure accuracy.
