I chose Dr. Rodriguez after looking through his work on Instagram.
He's very artistic in how he goes about his surgeries and his results never look exaggerated or unnatural.
I arrived in Santo Domingo thinking I'd have surgery the next day which was a miscommunication on the staff part as I wound up staying for 5 days without surgery. That was an inconvenient expense but it's all good as I had the chance to speak to numerous other dolls before my surgery and they gave me helpful tips.
I was having lipo BBL done so one warned me that after waking up from surgery I wouldn't be able to move my legs for some hours but it will subside.
This helped me greatly because had I not known that before surgery I would have woken up panicked.
Another girl also advised me to really ration my pain pump. Switch it off when not in pain and leave it on when in pain and especially during the post OP massages.
I saw Dr. Rodriguez for consultation twice before my surgery. He was perfectly lovely and pleasant so were his staff.
There was a mistake with my blood type result though so I insisted on a second test. Kindly come knowing your blood type.
My biggest worry was not waking up from anaesthesia but the anesthesiologist was the nicest lady. Met her right before surgery, she spoke to me extensively right until I was knocked out.
Woke up what felt like immediately afterwards so trust me ladies, surgery is not a big deal, recovery is the tough part.
The doctor and the anesthesiologist came to check on me after surgery.
Do get the overnight nurse BTW, very very helpful as you're basically immobile on the first day.
First day is rough, not gonna lie. But you'll have pain meds.
Second and third day were easy.
Fourth and fifth day were very rough for me as I had nausea and crazy positional headaches. They go away when you lie down.
Either way because of them I was recalled to the clinic and given IV meds which helped tremendously.
The doctor's staff also kept checking on me daily and I had numerous consultations with the doctor after surgery before I left the country.
Which is surprising given how busy he is.
Overally my experience was really great.
Dr. Wilfredo Rodriguez and his staff are the absolute best.
That's the only doctor I would go to for BBL to be honest.
I cannot recommend him enough.
