Are there any surgeons in the US that perform large volume lipo and BBL reasonable prices? (Photos)

Question

I was thinking about going to the Dominican Republic for a BBL and tummy tuck....but I'm extremely nervous for one I'm not sure if the surgeons are officially certified in their country, plus I'm afraid if I have complication who would i turn to when i return home..... if I can find someone in the US that shapes and adds volume at a reasonable price like across seas i wouldnt mind splitting the procedures up and paying for a round 2 for a tummy tuck. Im also in the process of losing 20 more pounds.

Hello msigotit718, 
I understand your concerns. First, I would suggest you selecting a plastic surgeon you can trust. It’s important to choose your surgeon based on: education (training and certification), experience performing abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) procedures and buttocks augmentation with fat transfer to the buttocks (BBL), and your comfort level with him/her. Depending on your particular situation, the prices of abdominoplasty and BBL may vary from $6,000 to $12,000, and $10,000 to $20,000 in the U.S, respectively. I would recommend you avoid simply choosing the lowest-priced procedure since cost could be an indicator of quality, and only an experienced and specially trained plastic surgeon can help diminish risk of post-operative complications. Cost factors for abdominoplasty and buttock enhancement procedures include: your surgeon’s expertise and experience, where you have your BBL surgery done (which country and city), the type of anesthesia or sedation that your surgeon uses, medications for your recovery, your specialized compression garments and any other material needed to help you heal properly. Many surgeons’ practices, mine included, offer payment plans or financing (through Care Credit or United Health Care, for instance) to help make both abdominoplasty and BBL surgery more affordable. Otherwise, discounts for paying the full amount up-front, in cash, are also available. With regards to large volume liposuction, certain states such as New York and Florida  are limited to 4-5 Liters of fat to be aspirated.  Large volume liposuction in my practice is limited to the amount of lidocaine in the tumescent solution that can be safely infused. I don’t go over 35mg/kg of lidocaine in the tumescent fluid which is gold standard.  Moreover, my patients are required to obtain a medical clearance (or cardiac clearance for patients older than 45 years of age or for those with a history of diabetes).  My protocol includes admission to the hospital after surgery.  A hospitalist and I would typically oversee your care after surgery while in the hospital. Good luck and may God bless you! Dr. De La Cruz.

Thank you for your question. Based on your photos you appear to be a good candidate for full tummy tuck with intense liposuction to improve your body contour and get better curves especially in your laterals and waist and Dominican Butt lift taking the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection.
Kind Regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Hi,
Thank you for your question and your pictures, based on your pictures your a good candidate for a Liposuction and a Tummy Tuck. Areas to consider would be your back bra rolls and flanks. Removing the fat from the back bra rolls and waist alone can greatly improve your overall shape and enhance your curves. Once your waistline is more defined like an hourglass you will be able to see your buttock shape. It's hard to see your skin condition and elasticity their might be some skin retraction after the Liposuction on your abdominal area. I just don't know if it will be enough to keep you satisfied and not need a Tummy Tuck.  Its best to consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to get an examination to assess the areas and outcome. Best of luck.

I think you are very wise in being afraid to go to DR for surgery and you stated some of the reasons well. As to "reasonable fees" I think many plastic surgeons offer reasonable fees. You should consult with 1 or more surgeons to get a quote. The photos suggest that yare a good candidate for your desires surgeries.

I think that you would have to be seen in person and to make sure that you are a candidate and healthy to undergo the procedure. I perform many BBL's and tummy tucks annually.  Good luck.
