What is the difference in the United States Tummy Tuck vs the Dominican Republic Tummy Tuck?

As far as I know, there is no technical difference between the two. The main issue with having tummy tuck done in the Dominican Republic or any medical tourism for that matter or having it done close to home the issue of postoperative complications and postoperative care. If unfortunately you do have a surgical complication following your surgery your original surgeon will be your best source for treatment of this complication, and if you do have a surgical procedure far away and then return home, you will most likely have difficulty finding a surgeon willing to treat someone else's postoperative complications. I am sure there are several excellent plastic surgeons close to you in New Orleans. Best of luck

There is really no differed in the general technique. Names are place on procedures in different regions as a marketing maneuver generally. I would caution you in considering going out of the country expecially DR, Honduras and Mexico just because a of a lower price. These lower prices are a result less restrictions and standards on surgeons and surgical facilities. These lower standards translate lower prices but higher rates of complications that the patients are left to deal alone once they returned home. I have personally taken care of numerous people who had procedures done in all three of these places who developed extreme and sometimes life threatening complications. Most required reopration, occasional hospitalization and long term care by me. The cost of my care, hospitalizations and other ancillary needs far out way the savings of going out of the country. If everything goes well you will view the experience as a good one but if you are one of the patients exposed to these high rate of complications, it will be the worse decision of your life. Be safe.
