Hello everyone, during my online search for a...
$4,000
Hello everyone, during my online search for a Surgeon I ran across RS quite a few times and decided to join. My initial search for a BBL was in the L.A. area. After reviewing a few posts on here I ran across the name of a few docs in the DR. If these prices are accurate ($3k-5k) it's a fraction of the price I would pay here in Cali. Anyone have any reservations about leaving the country? Reviews?

My brain hurts
I've been on RS constantly the last two days & my head is spinning. It's hard to know where to start. I need lipo & bbl and will probably be traveling solo. I'm thinking November this year or late January would be ideal. I didn't have any reservations abt traveling to DR for surgery until my husband brought up some valid concerns. I guess I'm still open to it but I'm now trying to research a few Docs in Florida. I live in California but I doubt if I can get the surgery done out here for less than 12k. Do any of u gals have any advice on starting this journey? Thanks!

Selection process
Ok girls...so I think I've narrowed my list down a bit. So far I'm loving what Dr.Baez & what Dr. Duran is doing. I like that they both are giving patients a nice round projection & hips. I'm 5'4" 172, married with 3 kiddos. I have no hips at all and they literally dent inwards where they should be :( I'm not a fan of getting a TT so whomever I select will just have to lipo what they can. I had a hysterectomy last year so I will not be stretching out this stomach anymore with pregnancy. I noticed 2 (significant) differences while researching Docs here in the US versus DR. 1. Recovery seems to be better here. So idk if it's lack of anesthesia experience or lack of better medicine for anesthesia. It is not acceptable to wake up during your procedure. Also, the girls who are reporting excruciating pain for 4 or more days had their sx abroad.
2. (Which is the flip side to #1). The results you get in the DR are incredible! You ladies look amazing!!! It seems like here the work is a little more conservative as far as the amount of fat transferred. I'm not looking for conservative. I'm looking to stop traffic lol. I've seen some work in Florida that was great though but for twice as much.
Oh well girls... Either way, December or January it's on. This gives me plenty of time to learn more from u all. I promise I'll have the hubby take some pics so I can post for u guys.

One of the differences I've noticed is that women seem to get much more aggressive lipo in DR, which may account for some of the differences in healing experiences.

Do tons of research and then make an informed decision. Ultimately you know what you are willing to compromise on. Is the language barrier an issue for you? Is money a concern? Are you very sensitive to the idea of being alone in a foreign country if something goes wrong ? Some issues I ran into when trying to choose a surgeon were non factors for others. Good luck to you. I hope you find a surgeon you trust and get the outcome you desire

I think I want this so badly that the things that u listed are not issues for me. I want the best post op pain management and I pray that I will not need a transfusion. You brought up some great points and ur input is appreciated.
