La liposuccion va gonfler à Dr. Rafael Mirabal Batista

Dr. Rafael Mirabal Batista runs a private plastic surgery practice in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic. The clinic operates within Clínica Corominas. It serves both local and international patients seeking aesthetic or reconstructive surgery.

Certifications and Professional Background

Dr. Rafael Mirabal Batista holds all certifications required by the Dominican Ministry of Health. He is an active member of the Dominican Medical College and the Dominican Society of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery. These memberships reflect adherence to national surgical and safety standards.

Dr. Mirabal completed his plastic and reconstructive surgery training at Universidad del Salvador in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He also finished a two-year fellowship in aesthetic surgery at Uriburu Medical Center. His training included clinical rotations under Dr. Claudio Angrigiani in Buenos Aires.

Aesthetic and Reconstructive Breast Surgery

The clinic performs breast procedures to improve proportions or restore function. Surgeons treat gigantomastia (excessively large breasts) and perform reconstruction after mastectomy. Available procedures include:

• Breast augmentation using peridural or general anesthesia
• Breast reduction to remove excess fat, tissue, and skin
• Breast lift (mastopexy) with or without implants
• Gynecomastia surgery to treat enlarged male breast tissue
• Nipple and areolar reduction

For breast augmentation, incisions are planned through periareolar, inframammary, or axillary approaches. Breast reduction also relieves physical discomfort from excessive weight. Patients with irradiated skin receive specialized planning to manage tissue elasticity.

Body Contouring and Facial Procedures

Body shaping services focus on improving proportions and skin firmness. The surgical team performs post-bariatric body contouring for patients after massive weight loss. This removes redundant tissue and improves body shape.

The practice offers several contouring and facial treatments:

• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to remove excess skin and repair weak muscles
• Liposuction using blunt cannulas to remove localized fat
• Otoplasty for ear reshaping, typically for patients aged 4–14
• Blepharoplasty to address sagging or excess skin on the eyelids
• Botulinum toxin type A injections for dynamic facial wrinkles

Otoplasty is often recommended for young children because ear growth is nearly complete by age four. Early intervention can prevent school-related ridicule. For liposuction, the clinic uses small-diameter blunt cannulas through minor incisions. This supports effective skin contraction during healing.

Safety Protocols and Patient Care

The clinic follows strict thrombosis prevention protocols for all major surgeries. Surgeons conduct pre-operative risk evaluations and encourage early mobilization after procedures. Patients use compression stockings and stay well-hydrated to reduce clot risk.

Recovery support includes direct surgeon follow-up and wound care education. The team monitors for signs of infection, such as fever or abnormal discharge. After liposuction, post-operative massage and compression garments help control swelling.

Equipment and Services

The practice uses INDIBA technology during recovery to aid tissue healing. This reduces inflammation and improves circulation after surgery. Dr. Mirabal plans anesthesia individually – offering local with sedation, regional, or general options.

International patients receive clear guidance on recovery and outpatient care. Many procedures are same-day discharge cases if the patient remains stable. The clinic also accepts medical insurance for gynecomastia and gigantomastia surgeries.
