Dr. César Bustillo — Plastic Surgical Solutions
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 64/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #3 of 17 ranked clinics · last checked 18 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Single-physician plastic and reconstructive surgery practice in San Pedro Sula, presented under the entity name Plastic Surgical Solutions, SDRL, which matches by name a company of the same legal form in the commercial register of Francisco Morazán. Physician named with role and address; specialist certification found only in an association roster; medical licence matched by name in the national colegiados register; the site's own marketing text uses superlative language systematically; a specific postoperative-care description is published, but no consent, risk-disclosure, revision or clinical complaint documents were found.

SEC | 16 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by name in the CMH 2018 colegiados listado. [cmh] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-01 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — this register is closed to machine queries in this country, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for every clinic on this site. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register closed to machine queries. Last attempt: none_found, 18 September 2026 — SESAL licence portal re-probed: HTTP 200 but a 639-byte account-only SPA behind Cloudflare Turnstile whose route table has no consultation view, and the SOL API answers 404 on every consultation path. No secondary route exists: the IAIP transparency portal answers the Cloudflare challenge (HTTP 403, "Just a moment..."), OpenCorporates answers HTTP 403, and ARSA licenses products, not health-service establishments. The clinic publishes no licencia sanitaria number of its own. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-18 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The clinic names the legal entity or the responsible person in its legal notice and the record is found by name; or the number the clinic publishes leads to an entity with a different name that is tied to this location by the same address or the same responsible person. The clinic names its legal entity on the policies page without a registration number; an exact-name query in the Registro Mercantil de Francisco Morazán returns one company of the same legal form (S. de R.L.) carrying the commercial name Plastic Surgical Solutions, matrícula 2574733, estado Normal. The clinic is in Cortés, whose own departmental register (SURE/SINAP) is not reachable from here, so the match rests on the name and the legal form. [rm] [site-policies] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Logos without numbers. A legal-entity name is published (Plastic Surgical Solutions, SDRL) but with no registration number; no physician licence number is published anywhere on the site. Pages loaded for this scan: home, politicas and lipoescultura, loaded 2026-09-18. [site-policies] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty Systematic superlatives; systematic safety promises without an absolute; absolutes about the past (success rates, “no infection since …”, satisfaction figures, “we guarantee your satisfaction”); comparisons with surgery. Systematic superlative marketing language across the homepage and service pages (three or more instances: 'el mejor cirujano de San Pedro de Sula', 'cirugía plástica premium' used twice, 'los mejores resultados'); no explicit outcome guarantee or literal percentage claim found. Pages loaded for this scan: home, politicas and lipoescultura, loaded 2026-09-18. [site-home] [site-lipo] Tu cirugía premium con el mejor cirujano de San Pedro de Sula |
SEC | 12 | 2026-09-18 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 19 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-18 |
| M9 | Patient documents One. One document class found: a specific postoperative-care description (personalized follow-up, massages); no consent form, risk disclosure, revision policy or clinical complaint route found (the privacy contact on the policies page is a data-protection channel, not a clinical complaint route). Pages loaded for this scan: home, politicas and lipoescultura, loaded 2026-09-18. [site-home] [site-lipo] |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.
Holds
No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.
| Identifiable: live public surface + working in-country contact | verified yes [site-home] |
|---|---|
| Provides the service itself (not an aggregator, booking site or tour packager) | verified yes [site-home] |
| In scope: the intervention is performed by a physician | verified yes [site-home] |
| Names a responsible physician | verified yes [site-home] |
Who is responsible
Named physicians and the legal entity, as published and as matched in the registers. A missing number is a statement about disclosure, not about licensing.

Scope and procedure segments
Clinic focus: specialist (no focus adjustment) [site-home]
Secondary findings (not scored)
What a professional society, an international directory, a hospital page or another jurisdiction’s register says, shown for information where the country’s own register is closed. These facts enter neither the score nor the coverage.
- M1 · Specialist certification of the responsible physician SECNamed surgeon present in the FILACP Honduras plastic-surgery society roll and matched by name (CESAR GERARDO, BUSTILLO AMENDOLA) in the CMH colegiados register; Honduras has no state specialty board, so association-only provenance caps this axis at 2.[filacp] [cmh]
What we could not verify
- M4 · Facility registration — Register closed to machine queries
- M8 · Cross-locale consistency — Single language front
These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
