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: Tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your question. There are many things to consider when having surgery. The top concern is safety. There are strict standards in the US for safety that should never be compromised. As surgeons in the United States, we have all taken care of patients with complications who went to foreign countries for cosmetic surgery and regretted doing so. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a surgeon who can provide you with reliable follow-up after surgery. Cost savings is not the only aspect you should consider when choosing a surgeon.With that being said, there are plenty of great and innovative plastic surgeons in NYC you can see. If you are an appropriate candidate, a tummy tuck can be done through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line. Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G. Reish, M.D.Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Be careful Do not believe all the pictures Lets be honest if you have a significant complication in a foreign country what will you do. What if you have to go to hospital? What if you die would anyone every know? We have rules in the USA to protect patients from harm. The foreign doctors trolling for your business are doing it for money not any other reason and they know you have no recourse if any problems. Good Luck!
