Service Descriptions
 
 

Amongst the various plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery services given by us we offer the following:

Facial Surgery

Amongst the various services offered by doctors Luis and Manuel  Espaillat, we have those related to the facial contour, procedures that go from simple ambulatory procedures where the patient goes through the recovery procedure in just hours, to complex surgeries that help raise self-esteem or improve quality of life of patients.

Below we present a list of services that we offer: (In order to read details on each procedure,click on its title)

· Rhytidectomy

· Endoscopic Frontoplasty

· Blepharoplasty

· Browpexy

· Face and Cheek Implants

· Chemical Peeling

· Otoplasty

· Neck Liposuction

· Aesthetic and Functional Rhinoplasty




Rhytidectomy

Also called "face stretching" or "facelift" is a surgical procedure indicated in patients who present face wrinkles, prominent nasogenian grooves, fallen cheek fat pads, flaccid and creased neck; through surgery we can eliminate these ageing signs, producing a rejuvenated look to the face.


Frontoplasty

Frontoplasty or forehead stretching surgery is a procedure that improves and restores the fresh, juvenile look to the frontal area. This procedure corrects fallen eyebrows and improves expression lines that make a person look tired, sad or moody.


Blepharoplasty

If your eyes are making you look depressed, annoyed or tired, you may consider eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), which refreshes your appearance instantly. This is a small surgery that makes a great difference.


Browpexy

Is a quick procedure, almost always done with local anesthesia, that doesn't leave any scars and harmonizes the correct brow position. Many times this procedures accompanies or is part of any procedure applied to the face, for example, a blepharoplasty.


Face and Cheek Implants

Cheek implants is the surgical procedure that raises the cheekbone area in order to make them more defined and prominent, in harmony with other parts of the face.


Chemical Peeling

It consists of a system of cutaneous exfoliation that acts on the skin surface that quickly, painlessly and efficiently removes the most superficial epidermal layers or dead cells in order to favor skin oxygenation. They are all ambulatory treatments that are done, at most, under discreet sedation.


Otoplasty

Otoplasty is a surgery in where ear deformities are removed; these can vary from the total absence of the ear (Anotia) to simply an exaggerated projection of the ear by an absence of the helix or antihelix.


Neck Liposuction (Jowl)

Liposuction is a technique that consists in suctioning fat out of the body through a hollow cannula that is attached to a suctioning system. Its use has been broadly described in other body parts and on occasions can be applied to the neck region with special care because of the existence of important structures in this area.


Rhinoplasty(Aesthetic and Functional)

Rhinoplasty or surgery that gives new form to the nose is one of the most common procedures in plastic surgery. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or bridge, sharpen the nasal orifices or change the angle between the nose and upper lip.

Body Contour Surgery

Amongst the different services offered by Doctors Luis and Manuel Espaillat, we have everything related to the body contour, procedures that go from simple ambulatory surgeries, where the patient goes through recovery in just hours, to complex surgeries that help boost self-esteem or improve patient quality of life.


Below we present a list of services that out clinic offers:

· Liposuction

· Liposculpture

· Lipoinjection

· Glute and Calf Implants

· Butt lifting

· Abdominoplasty

· Post-Bariatric Torsoplasty

· Brachioplasty



Liposuction

Liposuction is not a substitute for weight loss, but a method used to eliminate localized fatty tissue deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. It is not the mechanical means on how fat is eliminated that is important, but the proper technique used by the surgeon.


Liposculpture

Liposculpture refers to the remodeling of the body contour using liposuction. Anti-aesthetic fat deposits are eliminated from determined areas of the body, including face and neck, arms, trunk, abdomen, buttocks, hips and thighs, knees, calves and ankles.


Lipoinjection

In patients with too thin or atrophic body zones, through the years it is possible to inject fat in certain areas such as the malar region, the nasogenian folds (which are the lines that exist between the nose and the chin), the mandibular folds and libs. Lipoinjection is included in procedures that improve body contour. It offers the advantage that a person's own fat is used, so there is no risk of withdrawal or encapsulation.


Gluteal and Calf Implants

Gluteal augmentation or implant placement in the buttocks, is a surgical procedure directed to improve the size and form of the glutes inserting an implant, allowing us to increase substantially that zone's volume. A glutes implant is a sterile silicone wrapper filled with silicone gel.


Butt Lifting

Lifting of the glutes without surgery is a very effective technique that allows lifting of the buttocks that have become flaccid through time. It is not a glutes augmentation procedure, since we don't add any product or prosthesis. It consists in relocating subdermal fat that has slid from the gluteal muscle surface. Gluteal fat is tensed by a suspension suture that only needs a small 1 cm. skin incision in the intergluteal area. 


Abdominoplasty

Surgical procedure for men and women, its purpose is to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen and also treat the muscles in order to improve the contour, it produces a transverse scar in the lower abdomen that can go from hip to hip, being hidden under bathing suits or underwear.


Post-Bariatric Torsoplasty

If the obesity epidemic drove to the development of Bariatric Surgery, postbariatrics has emerged with the purpose of perfecting its results and eliminating skin flaps that remain after massive weight loss. "When an obese person gets rid of half of his/her kilos, the excess skin is such that the Bariatric Surgeon is not adequate enough to manage excess tissue, that is where the Plastic Surgeon enters".


Brachioplasty

Surgical procedure intended to improve the aspect of the superior extremities through the resection of the excess fat and skin on the inner arms. What we wish to achieve are stylized arms that harmonize with the body.

Breast Surgery

Amongst the different services offered by Doctors Luis and Manuel Espaillat, we have everything related to breast, from procedures that go from simple ambulatory surgeries, where the patient goes through recovery in just hours, to complex surgeries that help boost self-esteem or improve patient quality of life.

Below we present a list of services that out clinic offers:

· Mammoplasty (Augmentation and Reduction)

· Breast Reconstruction

· Mastopexy



Augmentation Mammoplasty

Its objective is to improve the body contour, especially when breasts are small. It is also performed in certain cases of breast cancer in order to apply implants that help reconstruct the breast.


Reduction Mammoplasty

It is performed on women with prominent or saggy breasts and strives to give contour and firmness or reduce their size. There are various factors that induce to mammary hypertrophy. On one hand there are hormonal imbalances during development or after lactation, on the other hand obesity also provokes the breasts to increase in size or sag.


Breast Reconstruction

Is a procedure that is performed in order to repair damage caused by an accident or trauma that has provoked partial or total loss of the breast, also in breast cancer patients where removal of part or the whole breast has been undertaken. This reconstruction is done depending on various factors such as: how much tissue remains on the chest, tissue available on other parts of the body, need for radiotherapy, age, unaffected side, amongst others. Reconstruction techniques may involve tissue from another body zone, the use of prosthesis or both.


Mastopexy

As the years pass by, the woman's chest goes through structural and functional changes that alongside inevitable gravity make the chest go flaccid and fallen. Changes in volume because of weight fluctuations caused by pregnancy and lactation, alongside the involution that the mammary gland suffers because of physiological hormonal changes, changes in skin elasticity, excess of solar exposure and lack of use of a brassiere are determinant factors for the development of a flaccid and fallen chest.

Other Services

Botulinum Toxin

Botulinum Toxin is a purified protein that relaxes the forehead without any attachments, allowing range of motion and expression, yet hiding wrinkles. The best examples are crow's feet, which have action with expression, and flat when resting. It all depends on the dose and concentration of the product, which must be injected in very precise spots.



Facial Fillers

Hyaluronic acid is a molecule, a natural polymer present in the skin obtained chemically by bacterial fermentation. We distinguish reticulated hyaluronic acid, derived from stabilization that prolongs the half-life in injected tissue, from non reticulated hyaluronic acid, which only lasts a couple of weeks in the skin. It is used to fill wrinkles, in order to give volume to the nasogenian folds (on each side of the nose), lip folds and wrinkles in the upper lip. The injection is done in the dermis, without touching muscle, that allows smoothing of the treated zone almost immediately.
