DRS. LIMA-MEJÍA PLASTIC SURGERY (clinic)

Drs. Lima-Mejía Plastic Surgery is a private medical facility in Santo Domingo Este, Dominican Republic. Established in 2021, the clinic specializes in aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Two experienced specialists lead the practice. They focus on surgical and non-invasive body and facial enhancements.

Specialized Medical Team

The clinic's medical team consists of two primary specialists with international training.

• Dr. Luis Lima Vargas has over 30 years of experience in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
• Dr. Lima Vargas trained at the Central University of Venezuela and completed rotations in Mexico.
• Dr. José Miguel Mejía is the Director of Anesthesiology and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
• Dr. Mejía holds an academic recognition from Padre Billini Teaching Hospital for clinical excellence.

Dr. Lima Vargas also heads the Plastic Surgery department at Dr. Ramón de Lara Military Hospital.

Facial Surgery and Rejuvenation

The clinic performs several surgical procedures to improve facial symmetry and address signs of aging. Rhinoplasty modifies the nose structure or corrects congenital breathing defects. Surgeons use either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation, depending on the case. Recovery for nose surgery typically lasts one week.

Other facial surgical options include:

• Blepharoplasty to improve the appearance of the eyelids
• Otoplasty to reposition or reshape the ears
• Surgical facelifts for tissue tightening

Specialists also offer non-surgical facial treatments such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion. These methods remove dead skin layers to reduce wrinkles and skin stains. Botox microinjections relax targeted muscles and smooth expression lines.

Body Contouring and Breast Surgery

Body surgery at the clinic focuses on fat removal and silhouette reshaping. Liposuction is the primary technique for fat extraction. For patients seeking non-surgical alternatives, the clinic offers ultra cavitation. This method uses ultrasound to target fat cells in the abdomen and legs without incisions.

Breast procedures are performed under controlled sedation or general anesthesia:

• Breast augmentation using implants to enhance size and shape
• Breast reduction surgery
• Gluteal sculpting using fat injection techniques

Non-surgical skin tightening is also available through tripolar radiofrequency sessions. This technology improves skin texture and tone without anesthesia.

Safety Protocols and Recovery Support

The clinic follows a structured care pathway to reduce the risk of post-operative complications. Patients receive specialized recovery therapies managed by the operating room staff. These treatments help prevent abnormal inflammation and infections after surgery.

Patients get detailed safety guidelines for the 60 days following a procedure:

• No physical exercise or heavy lifting
• Avoidance of sun, heat, and humid environments
• Strict abstinence from smoking and alcohol
• Use of compression garments and stockings for at least two days

Specialists also require patients to walk for two hours daily for 15 days. This aids circulation during recovery.

Services for International Patients

The clinic treats international patients in a facility with spacious, luxury recovery rooms. These accommodations provide a home-like environment during the initial healing phase. Pre-operative coordination happens through scheduled appointments to ensure efficient timing.

On surgery day, patients arrive at 7:45 AM for final preparations. The clinic provides specific pre-surgical instructions, including disinfectant soap use and dietary restrictions. Post-operative care is inclusive, with staff providing continuous monitoring during recovery therapies.
