Question

Looking for a doctor who is board certified in The Dominican Republic who can do a bbl and abdominal etching. I am 21, 5'3 131lbs and exercise 3-5 times a week (depending on my schedule). I've found some doctors that had work I liked but also found a lot of bad stories. I'm not interested in any doctors that have killed patients or who've had huge law suits. I've uploaded some photos of what I'm trying to achieve.

Medical tourism has becoming increasingly popular in recent years; patients  have been flying out of the U.S. for plastic surgery, lured by lower prices. 
However, a parallel trend has also appeared: plastic surgeons in the United  States are finding themselves treating an increasing number of patients who  plastic surgery abroad, correcting complications and errors. A survey by the  American Society of Plastic Surgeons found that 80% of the responding doctors  had treated American medical tourists for complications including infection,  contour abnormalities, and hematoma. Medical tourists are often led to believe that they will receive the same  quality of care for a lower price in a foreign clinic. But while it is true that  the cost of plastic surgery in some foreign countries is lower, this is often  because the quality of care and surgery is compromised. Such patients also seem  to neglect the possibility of complications and the need for a follow-up  visit. A number of patients have died in Dominican Republic for example following cosmetic procedures. In addition to the risks posed by sub-standard medical care abroad, medical  tourists must consider the risks of injections and implants in other countries.  The recent crisis with French breast implant maker Poly Implant Prothese (PIP)  exemplifies this problem. PIP used industrial- rather than medical-grade  silicone on their implants in an effort to reduce costs, a measure which  probably increased the danger of rupture. PIP implants have not been used in the  United States since 2000. Removal of these implants has been recommended by the  International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. It is often the case that medical tourists end up spending more  money because they have to pay to treat complications from their overseas  surgery.

Hi, thanks for sharing your concern and photos with us!
  
First I want to congratulate you for making this important decision. Deciding to get an aesthetic procedure to change your body and get a new life style is a big step!
  
Looking at your photos I might say that you´ll be a great candidate to get an entire abdomen, back and waist liposuction with BBL, this is because you have located fat that can be done with lipo.
  
Before all this, of course, you need to get a complete medical evaluation and laboratory exams to check everything is fine. For us your safety, always, is going to be first.
  
Have a great day!

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
Based on your photos you are a good candidate for a liposuction with bbl, and i think you'll get very good results. But it's never good to compare with others because of the different body shapes. (a photo of your back would help).
The fat transfer, often called Brazilian butt lift has become extremely popular because it allows your plastic surgeon to transform your entire shape. You improve your waist, hips and of course your buttock, to give you a beautiful heart shape.
I recommend you to make an appointment with a board plastic surgeon for a good evaluation and to talk about your goals.
Good luck :)
