Is the Dominican Republic safe for a BBL?

Hi... Thank you for the question ... In DR many Liposuction and BBL are performed with great results... We have been doing this procedures for years with excellent results and our number speak by them self... Start your research. 

What is most important is that the surgeon is experienced and Board Certified. There are plenty of great surgeons in Los Angeles... If price is a big factor in your quest for a surgeon, please take into account that often times lower prices indicate lower quality. Corrective surgery can be expensive, so it is best to make all the efforts necessary to get it right the first time. Hope this helps,Dr. JSB

You will have to do your research to answer that question for yourself.   Most patients get an immense benefit with maximal
liposuction of the
abdomen, sides, and back to obtain the smallest waist possible and then
maximal fat transfer to the buttocks and hips. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Prospective patients should be aware of the risks and downsides of medical tourism (traveling abroad to undergo elective surgery). There has been some recent deaths and severe infections from surgery performed in the Dominican Republic as well as many other countries around the world. 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.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.Source: The Cost of Medical Tourism – Medscape Medical NewsSource: Official Statement on Faulty PIP and ROFIL breast implants – ISAPS
