Tania Medina em São Domingos

With a career built around safety, structure, and patient education, Dr. Tania Medina is the specialist at The Aesthetic Institute who also presented her first book, “La Belleza de Amarme,” in New York at Manhattan Manor on May 15. Her work is centered on body contouring, breast surgery, and facial procedures, delivered through the clinic’s state-of-the-art outpatient surgery center. For international patients, the process starts with a personalized video consultation, and surgeries are performed only in the Dominican Republic. At The Aesthetic Institute, Dr. Medina’s approach is consistently framed as more than appearance: she emphasizes that transformation should include a plan for health and comfort, including guidance for post-procedure recovery. Her content and consultations cover practical preparation and aftercare topics, from nutrition after liposuction or abdominoplasty to recovery expectations after Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). She also addresses post-bariatric needs, explaining how excess skin and related risks can affect comfort and infection risk, and how decisions depend on weight loss and body changes.
