Its clear to see that dr. in Dom Rep and Colombia offer a more curvy, dramatic look for TT & lipo. I've read its because overseas they are allowed to take more out. In the states the dr. have to be more conservative is that true? I love the post pictures for Dom Rep & Colombian surgeries (very Jlo & Kim K.) but why can't I get that same look in the NY/NJ area? Do I have to travel international to achieve those same results? Thanks!
Answer: Medical tourism We are limited in terms of how how much fat can be removed for safety reasons. Liposuction involves the introduction of saline solution which has metabolic consequences. To the extent that this is ignored by foreign surgeons, that does not speak well with respect to training, motivation or ethics. In New York, a week does not go by when my staff does not receive a call asking if we can fix something gone amiss in surgery performed in the DR. Our laws exist for a reason. The United States has the largest number of highly trained plastic surgeons in the world, many of whom practice in New York. See one of them because it is possible that your goals can be achieved here.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Can surgeons outside the US achieve a better result because they are able to accept more risk. This is an interesting question that merits some reflection to answer properly. Most of the time plastic surgery tourism is done for economic reasons as one may get a better price in another country, but are there truly a difference in results? As far as the results of liposuction in DR or Columbia being curvier, I must say that if this is in dead true, it must be because the patient population is already that way with larger and more pronounced buttocks and narrower waists. It is also possible that the surgery is done more aggressively which will definitely increase the risks of complication. I believe that there are individual surgeons in the US and other areas of the globe that can achieve better results through their experience and talent, but I don't think that a group of surgeons from another country can achieve better results unless they are working on a different patient population with different racial characteristics and or they are taking unusual risk. Going abroad is risky because other countries may not follow the same standards that we do in United States. Therefore if additional risk is taken it could have disastrous consequences.

Answer: Having surgery abroad I don't recommend having surgery in another country as this can be risky - unqualified surgeon, what happens if their is a complication, no long term follow up, etc. See my link below Couple of options - one being: financing, I recommenced contacting Care Credit or a similar well establish lending institution for cosmetic surgery. In the long run of course it will cost you more because of interestcharges. Choosing a plastic surgeon because of his/her cheap price is fraught with danger and selects in particular for non board certified surgeons often not even plastic surgeons who are advertising. One thing you might look for is an academic training center where plastic surgery residents supervised by their professors may have a "residents clinic" with steeply discounted rates. Be careful.

Answer: TT and Lipo in Colombia and Dom. Rep vs the USA Patients come to the United States, and in particular to New York, for plastic surgery. because of the excellence of surgery and because of the high level of safety. In addition, young plastic surgeons from all over come to the U.S. for further raining. We see many complications arising in DR and patients often have difficulty in finding an American PS to take care of them. You will not hear much about these on the internet.. Results after surgery are highly dependent on the pre-op status of the patient. I would suggest that you consult with a Board Certified PS in your area( NY or NJ) and express your goals and concerns as well as look at many before and after photos. Good luck!

Answer: Medical Tourism Thank you for your excellent question. I can understand how things may appear different between the DR and US doctors in terms of surgical outcomes, but remember that each patient's anatomy and expectations play a role in their final appearance. That said if you do your research, are able to properly vet your surgeon through the ASPS, and can ensure there is a surgeon to manage any complications when you return home you may do well with medical tourism. Read the link below for more useful information.
