  If you’ve had or are considering liposuction, abdominoplasty, or a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), you’ve probably heard about fibrosis. Many patients worry about it during recovery, and for good reason. To clear up any doubts, Dr. Yily De Los Santos, an aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon in the Dominican Republic, explains what fibrosis is, why it happens, and how to prevent it for the best possible results. What Is Post-Surgical Fibrosis and How Do You Know If You Have It? Fibrosis is a natural part of the body’s healing process. It forms when scar tissue builds up in the treated area, which can lead to hardening, skin irregularities, or tightness. “Fibrosis is not a serious complication, but it can affect skin appearance and prevent the smooth results you were expecting,” explains Dr. Yily De Los Santos. “That’s why post-op care is so important.” Common signs of fibrosis include: -Hardened areas under the skin. -Small dimples or irregularities. -Tightness or...

  By Dr. Yily De Los Santos, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgeon in the Dominican Republic Plastic surgery has evolved significantly in recent decades, not only in aesthetic techniques but also in tools that ensure greater patient safety. One of the most important advancements is the use of Doppler ultrasound, a technology that allows for the evaluation of blood flow in tissues before, during, and after a procedure. Why is Doppler Essential in Plastic Surgery? Doppler ultrasound is a key tool in procedures such as liposuction, facelifts, BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift), and reconstructive surgery, as it provides real-time visualization of tissue vascularization. This is crucial for: • Avoiding vascular complications: By identifying the location of blood vessels, the risk of thrombosis, necrosis, and embolisms is reduced. • Enhancing BBL safety: In fat transfer gluteal augmentation, Doppler allows for more precise fat injection, avoiding dangerous planes. • Optimizing ae...

According to Dr. Yily De Los Santos, an aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon in the Dominican Republic, “a proper marking is the foundation of a successful surgery. It serves as a roadmap, allowing us to sculpt the body or face with precision, ensuring natural and well-proportioned results.” Why is Marking So Important in Plastic Surgery? -Defines symmetry and proportions of the body and face. -Enhances surgical safety, minimizing incision errors. -Personalizes results, adapting to each patient’s unique anatomy. -Improves precision in procedures like high-definition liposuction (HD Lipo), tummy tucks, and facial surgery. Marking in H...
