Manuel Espaillat Pavonessa, MD

I was extremely nervous travelling from Canada to the DR for plastic surgery especially after hearing stuff in the news lately. Upon meeting Dr Espalliat my fears instantly subsided. He was so incredibly attentive answering all questions and concerns. His reassurance made my anxiety go from an 8 to a 2.
I had breast augmentation with a lift and tummy tuck with lipo. The pre OP was thorough, blood work, ecg by a cardiologist and xrays
I arrived at the clinic the morning of to be greeted by his nursing staff and shortly after by Dr Espaillat. I was again explained the surgery procedure and what to expect. I was given a little blue pill and then only remember waking up post of.
He again came to check on me and gave me his number (what's ap is used to communicate) in case I had any questions or concerns throughout the night or in case I needed to converse with his nurses who didnt speak English (some did).
The next morning he came to check my incisions, drains and pain levels. Once he was assured that I was ok I was released but again was told if I had any concerns to contact him. I have several follow up appointments during my stay.
He was attentive, courteous and an amazing surgeon.
Yes I would go back for any additional work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and have to several friends.

Hi this is a quick update for those that have been following me. Sorry it’s been a little bit but Ive been focusing on getting everything ready for this journey both mind and body.
I am currently 8 days post op.
I had a TT, BL, BA, Lipo of back an arms with a small transfer for my bum.
I’m still very swollen but not nearly as I was.
Everything went well and I love my doctor. Espaillat Lora.
He is simply lovely in every way. I completely understand how the very few reviews of ladies all said they’re in love with him. Lol it’s kinda crazy because I feel the same way.
His bedside manner everything is so comforting. His clinic is so lovely an private.
He is NOT a vixen doctor and will not perform un natural requests which I love because honey my boob greed is serious.
I wanted like 425-450 an when sizing me he showed me only a couple implants that I knew were way too small.
He said “ok she wants a D” :) YES PLEASE! DDD! Smh I’m so delusional when it comes to boobs. Lol MORE PLEASE!!
However I will say he absolutely got the body proportions right. I actually have ONLY 380 ccs an I’m surprised to say on day 8 I am happy with them lol. I nearly fell on the floor when he said he gave me only 380 (again my delusion on boobs).
My back side is still really swollen an I’ll be happy when it relaxes a bit because holy ant man Becky look at my butt! its so big right now an I’m not interested in a huger than life an legs behind.
I love my thighs and don’t want to take attention from them.
I love my incision it’s very clean an neat.
My breast lift scars are almost non existent ALREADY! So I know I’ll be pleased with that as well.
Feel free to ask any questions an I’ll reply as I’m able because I notice the only two other ladies I found on my doctor didn’t keep up an for me it was a bit frustrating to not know more.
I will say this though Incase I get home an just shut myself in from all this surgery talk for a while.
You absolutely will be in the best of hands with Dr. Jose Espaillat Lora. (Not the one shown above I couldn’t fix it for some reason).
He does NO social media so you will not find much on him at all but that the beauty of him you won’t find any complaints or deaths either. He is all word of mouth an with 30+ years in? I’d say he’s a gift.
I went to him pretty much based off a friend who went to him 15 years ago and seeing her results were so beautiful and natural looking still. He is a hidden gem for those of us who are simply trying to get ourselves back to our pre baby beautiful self.
He’s definitely not for those who want the beautiful yet exaggerated hour glass/vixen look.
Remember I am still very swollen my

I hope this was a little helpful.
Sorry for typos but I’m ready for a nap. Ox
