$2,000

I couldn't find a face / rhino specialist in the Dominican Republic so I'm checking docs from Venezuela to get this procedure done.

I already got a personal consultation with "Bernardo Krulig" (reconstructive and facial specialist , he was very honest and Ethic but I'm concerned he's too young so he shouldn't have too many years of experience. The price quoted by him was quite high, aprox. 80,000.00 VEF.

I requested an online quotation to doctor "Gerardo Toro Parilli", sent pictures but still no response from his side. He's a staff surgeon of Miss Venezuela Organziation. Still no answer from his side but he seems quite passionated about his work (at least in social media) and I like that.

The 3rd doctor i tried to reach is "Andres Ruiz", he claims to be the official miss universe surgeon and has a busy agenda. I filled an online form to get an evaluation / quotation but also made an in person appointment for mid - june (everything was fully booked until then). this one is really really passionated about his work and you can see he does mostly nose surgeries. So far I'm thrilled with him.. i hope i get his feedback before June!

Any advice?

$80k is way over priced. Dr Nassif, in Los Angeles is a miracle worker, and he's not that expensive. He did my revision rhino for $20k, which is high, but it was worth every penny. He's an ARTIST with a lot of experience.

Hello Suko, the price is in VEF (venezuelan currency). It's approx. 13,000 USD at the standard exchange rate. was your case very difficult he charged so much or that's his average charge for a rhino?

Thank you for starting your story on RealSelf! Are you traveling to Venezuela from the U.S. or somewhere else or do you live there?

Hello, I am from the Dominican Republic. I had my first 2 nose jobs there. Lately I'm traveling often to Venezuela and that's why I consider getting this procedure done there. thanks for sending me the list, I will make sure to ask them before fixing a surgery date. I'm currently emailing Dr. Parilli and got a parcial answer but he asked for more pictures. He should come back to me soon. he and doctor Andres Ruiz seems to be popular in their social network but they are kind of busy so it takes time to hear back from them. I have seem really good results of Rhino in Venezuela and Colombia, but in the Dominican Republic we don't have any good / experienced job doctor that I've hear / known.

Hi! I was wondering if you had ever received a response from Parilli? Did you end up picking a surgeon, I am also looking to have my nose re done in Venezuela, any recommendations

Hi Luluxo, i finally got surgery with Andres Ruiz but results were not as expected. now thinking to go with Parilli but not sure yet... need physical consultations first.

I would definetely recommend you to have a consultation with El Cirujano de las Reinas. He's the surgeon for a lot of misses too. His name is Jose Ardila. https://www.instagram.com/elcirujanodelasreinas/?hl=en
