Dr. Rafael Báez — Plastic Surgeonでのベイザー脂肪吸引 + 腹壁形成術

Dr. Rafael Báez runs a plastic surgery practice in Santiago, Dominican Republic. The practice is based within Hospital Metropolitano de Santiago (HOMS). Dr. Báez and his team offer aesthetic and reconstructive procedures in a modern hospital setting.

Accreditations and Professional Standings

The clinic holds several domestic and international professional affiliations:

• Accredited by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS)
• Member of the International Confederation for Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (IPRAS)
• Member of the Ibero-Latin American Federation of Plastic Surgery (FILACP)
• Certified by the Dominican Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SODOCIPRE)
• Member of the Dominican Medical College (CMD)

Body Contouring and Liposculpture

The practice specializes in advanced body sculpting with VASER technology. This method uses ultrasound to break down fat while sparing surrounding tissues. Surgeons perform high-definition abdominal contouring to create muscular definition.

Patients often combine fat removal with autologous fat transfer. This process uses the patient's own fat to enhance other areas. Common applications include:

• Gluteal augmentation (Brazilian Butt Lift)
• Pectoral contouring for men
• Facial volume restoration in the cheeks and chin
• Filling nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth)

The clinic also treats gynecomastia – enlarged breast tissue in men. Surgeons use VASER-assisted reduction to remove excess tissue and flatten the chest. This procedure is often combined with other body-contouring techniques.

Facial Aesthetics and Reconstructive Surgery

Facial procedures focus on restoring balance and correcting signs of aging. Surgeons perform rhinoplasty to address the nasal hump and refine the nasal dorsum. Mentoplasty improves facial symmetry through chin implants.

For facial rejuvenation, the team offers surgical and non-surgical options:

• Ritidectomy (facelift) to tighten loose skin and deep tissues
• Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) to remove excess skin from upper and lower lids
• Mini facelifts for less extensive sagging
• Injectable fillers and preventative Botox

Technologies and Planning Tools

The clinic uses digital planning to improve surgical accuracy. A 3D surgical simulation program lets patients visualize expected results before the operation. This imaging-based approach helps surgeons and patients agree on aesthetic goals.

For skin treatments, the practice uses several medical-grade platforms:

• CO2 laser for skin resurfacing and scar improvement
• Radiofrequency to stimulate collagen and improve skin elasticity
• Ultrasound-based cavitation for non-surgical fat reduction
• Hydrafacial dermabrasion for deep skin cleansing

International Patient Services

Dr. Rafael Báez offers a structured pathway for patients traveling from abroad. The process begins with an online consultation. This lets the medical team review cases and plan surgery before the patient arrives in Santiago.

The clinic runs an integrated messaging and appointment workflow. International scheduling is managed through a dedicated office at Hospital Metropolitano de Santiago. Patients receive pre-operative guidance, including instructions for blood tests and medication management.
