Dr. Franklin Peña

Dr. Franklin Peña is a private plastic surgery practice established in 2017. The clinic operates two locations in the Dominican Republic, with offices in Santo Domingo and San Pedro de Macorís. Specialists provide a full range of aesthetic and reconstructive care.

Experience and Medical Board Recognitions

The practice is led by Dr. Franklin Peña, who has over 12 years of experience in plastic surgery. He has personally completed more than 3,000 successful procedures. The clinic holds several medical board memberships and certifications:

• SODOCIPRE (Dominican Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery)
• FILACP (Ibero-Latin American Federation of Plastic Surgery)
• ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons)
• ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery)

Dr. Peña also serves as a Professor of Plastic Surgery at the Central University of the East.

Facial and Nasal Surgery

The clinic offers aesthetic rhinoplasty for functional and cosmetic improvements. Patients may choose specific sub-procedures:

• Nasal tip definition and lifting
• Nostril reduction
• Rhinoseptoplasty to correct the nasal septum
• Turbinoplasty to improve breathing

Facelift procedures remove excess skin and reposition underlying tissue. Surgeons often combine these with eyelid surgery or fillers for a complete result. Operations typically last between 1 and 2 hours.

Body Contouring and Breast Procedures

Breast augmentation uses silicone or saline implants. Surgeons use five different placement methods, including incisions through the armpit or navel. The clinic also performs mastopexy (breast lift) and male breast reduction for gynecomastia.

For body rejuvenation, the team provides several surgical options:

• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
• Athletic liposculpture and liposuction
• Gluteoplasty for buttock augmentation
• Myoplasty for calf augmentation using implants
• Brachioplasty for arm contouring

Calf augmentation takes about 90 minutes. It's recommended for patients with undeveloped muscles or asymmetries from previous injuries.

Nonsurgical Aesthetic Treatments

The clinic provides nonsurgical options for patients who don't need invasive surgery. These include hyaluronic acid injections and dermal fillers for facial volume. Specialists also offer Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and lymphatic drainage to support recovery.

International Patient Services

The practice supports remote planning for patients traveling from abroad. Dr. Franklin Peña conducts 30-minute virtual consultations via WhatsApp video call. These sessions allow for pre-evaluation and surgical planning before arrival. To secure a surgery date, patients can provide a partial deposit after their online assessment.

Surgical procedures require an overnight stay for 24-hour medical monitoring. International patients should remain in the Dominican Republic for several days after discharge. This ensures they are stable for travel and can receive necessary follow-up care.
