Plastic Surgeon in Santo Domingo
Creator of the Slope Shape Technique
Dr. Marcos Soto is an aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic — recognized as the creator of the proprietary Slope Shape body contouring technique, and one of the most trusted names among the best plastic surgeons in the Dominican Republic. With over 9 years of active practice since completing his specialization in 2016, Dr. Soto has built a distinguished reputation for precision, artistry, and consistently safe, natural aesthetic outcomes.
His surgical training is deeply rooted in the Dominican Republic's finest medical institutions — beginning with his Bachelor's Degree and Faculty of Medicine from the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD) in 2005, followed by a comprehensive General Surgery postgraduate residency at Padre Billini Hospital between 2007 and 2011, and culminating in his full Specialization in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery completed between 2013 and 2016. This rigorous academic and clinical foundation gives Dr. Soto a deeply refined surgical perspective he applies to every procedure.
Since completing his specialization, Dr. Soto has established his practice around one core principle: delivering safe, natural, and lasting aesthetic results — individually tailored to each patient's anatomy, goals, and lifestyle. He is particularly celebrated for developing the Slope Shape technique, a specialized approach to body contouring that emphasizes harmonious curves, natural transitions, and feminine or athletic silhouettes rather than simply removing volume.
His expertise spans body contouring and Lipo 360, Tummy Tuck surgery, BBL fat transfer, Mommy Makeover, breast surgery, and his signature Slope Shape procedure — making him a uniquely qualified choice for international patients seeking the best plastic surgery in the Dominican Republic.
"My goal has always been to create results that look and feel naturally yours — with the precision of a sculptor and the caution of a physician. The Slope Shape technique was born from this philosophy: every body tells its own story, and my role is to enhance it beautifully and safely."
