The top plastic surgeon in Santo Domingo, Dr. Tania Medina, has been inclined toward the pursuit of beauty, skin care and the improvement and enhancement of the female form since she began participating in various beauty pageants.

I must say that overall, it was a great experience. Loving the results, and I am not even fully recovered yet. Can not WAIT for a full recovery. To ease some future concerns. I traveled by myself. As the Dr. says be comfortable knowing that you are in good hands. She has her team ready to care for you from the moment you step a foot into the country. I would without a doubt recommend her.

Me ingresaron la noche anterior para hacer más cómodo el proceso ya que la cirugía era a primera hora. El trato de las enfermeras fue excelente las instalaciones acogedoras. La Dra. Medina es sumamente profesional antes durante y después del proceso su profesionalidad y aptitudes han sido totalmente más de lo que esperaba de un cirujano. Al elegirla. Hice la mejor elección al poner mi salud en excelentes manos. Los resultados han sido lo que quería con lo cual me siento muy satisfecha de haberme operado con mi cirujana estrella Tania Medina

I’m writing to share my experience with My Medical Vacations in Cancun Mexico. From the time I arrived with my husband, Katie Ana and Betty took excellent care of us. We were picked up from the airport taken to all of my medical appointments. I had some concerns about surgery and Betty spoke with me in detail and addressed all my concerns and fears. I felt conformable – safe in their care and in Cancun. I had Blepharoplasty with Dr. Torres and Rhinoplasty with Dr. Montalvo, both surgeons were excellent and truly skilled at their craft. I had daily post-surgical visit from Ana our sweet nurse, who came to our hotel to make sure I was healing properly. My overall experience was wonderful and I absolutely love my results. I´m planning on coming back in the future. I highly recommend My Medical Vacations to anyone considering cosmetic surgery in Cancun. You´ll be in excellent hands. Than you all for your care and support. All the best, Karma Shanti Virginia-USA

IMPILO PLASTIC SURGERY AND MEDICAL SPA Verified

The leading plastic surgery clinic in Panama, IMPILO PLASTIC SURGERY AND MEDICAL SPA, aims to provide sophisticated technology and solutions to patients and are committed to providing all the options and medical information available. We pride ourselves in delivering the very best quality of surgical and medical care in modern plastic surgery Panama facilities with the highest standard of service.

My experience at IMPILO Plastic Surgery and Spa (in Panama City, Panama) far exceed my expectations. I first met Dr Luis A. Picard Ami in 2009 when he did a superb job on my breast reduction. Dr Picard-Ami is licensed to practice in USA and Panama, is fluent in English and Spanish, very accessible, down-to-earth, patient and so easy to communicate with. He promptly answered all my questions by e-mail and I mean ALL of my questions, including medical, logistical, covid and general. I was so impressed with his hospitality, professionalism, as well as my new beautiful breasts, I decided to return again in 2022 for a couple more procedures. I decided not to fear international travel as Covid is becoming more endemic and I am fully vaccinated. Another incentive was that the total cost of surgery, airfare and hotel, combined, was far less than I would have spent in the USA plus I was getting primo customer service. Additionally you can pay for everything in US dollars or with credit card. IMPILO Plastic surgery took care of coordinating all of my logistics from answering my pre-departure questions, meeting me upon arrival in Panama to checking into the hotel, getting my lab tests, to surgery and back again to my hotel room. I was traveling alone and was so happy when Dr Picard-Ami sent a nurse to see me in my hotel room to help with showering and dressing changes. I also had constant communications with everyone in IMPILO clinic, including the doctor, via WhatsApp, email and on my phone via Wi-Fi calling. The doctors, clinic, hospital and spa staff were all very approachable, kind, courteous, competent and professional while also very personable and welcoming. Most of the staff, I encountered, were bilingual too. The view from the doctor’s office was incredible as was the panorama from the hotel pool area. The whole complex was pretty chilly so don’t forget your cozy sweat suit and fuzzy socks! Fortunately, the hotel can reset your room temperature controls as you need. The free breakfasts were awesome with enough variety to tide you over for the entire day if you don’t feel like going out. The rooms were well equipped for cooking and comfort. The hotel, clinic, hospital and doctors’ office were very modern, clean and connected with the shopping mall, grocery store, pharmacy and everything you could need without even stepping outside. I had several different procedures during a 3 week period of time and am very pleased with Dr. L. Picard-Ami’s surgical skill, felt well cared for, safe comfortable and secure. I almost hated to return home! Mary, Florida USA

My breast implantation surgery was performed by Dr. Luis Picard-Ami Jr at the Panama Clinic. Process was fully explained in pre- surgery telephone consultations and in face to face consultation at the clinic. Dr. Luis Picard-Ami's expertise and experience as well as his approachable interpersonal skills, not only assisted me in choosing best option for me but also made me at ease throughout the whole process. His clinic is staffed with friendly and helpful personnel always ready to assist with anything you may need starting from beverage to booking hotel room and getting post op bra. Truly VIP experience

Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) Overview

An eyelid lift, also known as blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that removes excess skin, fat and loose muscles from the upper and lower eyelids. Eyelids have a very strong influence on a person’s face and particularly their expression. With an eyelid lift, you can enhance your expression and improve your overall appearance.

 

The signs of aging begin around the eyes. An eyelid lift targets drooping eyelids which are the result of years of hard work and stress. These factors can also contribute to the deeply hanging bags under the lower eyelid. The eyelid lift procedure corrects these unwanted testaments of age.

 

Blepharoplasty can also enhance your vision if your eyelids are drooping excessively. Your true age doesn’t have to be revealed from your eyes. Recovering from an eyelid lift will shield minimal discomfort if you follow the surgeon’s post-operative instructions carefully.

 

An eyelid lift can also be a medical solution to ptosis. Ptosis can be the result of abnormal muscle reactions, stroke, a brain tumor or diabetes. Eyelid lift surgery can correct drooping eyelids from such conditions. The cost of an eyelid lift might be covered partially or fully by your insurance company if it is for medical reasons.

 

An eyelid lift can be carried out in conjunction with other facial procedures such as facelift or nose surgery. Book yourself a consultation with a plastic surgeon so you can discuss if you are a good candidate for an eyelid lift. During this consultation he or she will also explain the eyelid lift risks and side effects so you are aware of them.

 

The old and tired appearance of your eyes does not need to be permanent. An eyelid lift can rejuvenate your face and make you feel great about the way you look.

 

A Good Candidate for Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty)

An eyelid lift is a solution for people wanting to get rid of visible stress and aging that begin to show around their eyes. Most people wanting to correct for drooping eyelids are good candidates for an eyelid lift but blepharoplasty is not for everyone.

 

Your plastic surgeon will talk to you about your reasons for surgery and your desired outcome as well as examine your natural facial features to determine if you are a good candidate for an eyelid lift.

 

Age is not a major factor when being considered for the eyelid lift procedure. However, most candidates are between 40 and 50 years of age. These patients have upper eyelids that may have begun to sag and lower eyelids that appear as bags under the eyes. Their hanging upper eyelids may make them look constantly tired or angry.

 

Drooping eyelids is a common sign of aging and an eyelid lift is mostly designed for older patients wanting to refresh their eye area. It can also be a solution for people in their 20s and 30s who suffer from hereditary drooping eyelids.

 

Regardless of the age, good candidates for eyelid lift surgery understand and accept the risks and side effects of an eyelid lift. While preparing for your eyelid lift you may realize that you are also a good candidate for other facial surgeries such as a facelift or nose surgery.

 

It is important for patients to communicate exactly what they wish to accomplish through their eyelid lift. For example, an eyelid lifts will not target wrinkles. It can help reduce the size and depth of wrinkles but a facelift or brow lift is better designed to combat deep wrinkles.

 

A good candidate for an eyelid lift needs to be emotionally and physically healthy. Patients will not be considered for surgery if certain diseases such as high blood pressure, hypothyroidism or glaucoma exist.

 

Eyelid Lift (Blepharoplasty) Procedure

An eyelid lift offers men and women the chance to eliminate unwanted signs of aging that have begun to appear around their eyes.

 

The eyelid lift procedure is usually performed under a local anesthesia but some surgeons may also supply sedatives to calm and relax patients. Belpharoplasty is rarely carried out under general anesthesia.

 

The surgeon makes incisions along the natural creases or folds of the eyelid so that the scar won’t be visible. Occasionally, the surgeon will make the incisions on the inside of the eyelid which results in no scarring. The surgeon removes excess fat through the incisions and cuts away excess skin.

 

Loose eyelid muscles will also be tightened during the eyelid lift procedure in order to help smooth the skin and decrease wrinkles. The eyes will be bandaged after surgery and you will be taken to a recovery room where to be monitored for a few hours. Eyelid lift surgery is normally an outpatient procedure so you will not have to stay overnight in hospital.

 

The most important thing to do now is focus on healing during your eyelid lift recovery!

 

Average Duration of Eyelid Lift Surgery: 1-3 three hours, depending on the amount of work involved. If you are having any other cosmetic procedures such as a facelift at the same time as your blepharoplasty, then the surgery time will be longer.
