Orlando Vargas Almonte faces new medical malpractice allegations

New allegations of medical malpractice have emerged against plastic surgeon Orlando Vargas Almonte in the Dominican Republic. Patients report severe complications following breast reduction surgeries intended to treat gigantomastia.

Testimonies include reports of non-healing wounds, infections, tissue loss, and physical deformities. One university student, who underwent surgery at Clínica Rodríguez Santos, reported experiencing pus-filled wounds and lesions that failed to heal months after the procedure.

Investigations have also raised questions regarding the management of medical procedures and payments involving patients with medical insurance coverage. Vargas Almonte has faced similar public accusations from patients in previous years.
