I have found a surgeon by the name of Dr. Frank Lamadrid on Instagram, he is on other social media such as Facebook and Twitter, but not Realself.I am questioning his credibility since I can't find him on any other site. I like his work and he as given me an estimate of 5k for the BBL, which is very inexpensive in comparison to 10k and up,but I'm so unsure... Is there any other site I can find more about him?

Answer: Traveling For Cosmetic Surgery? Thank you for your question! This already sounds like a bad idea. It is never a good idea to leave the country for cosmetic surgery. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who preforms these routinely, who is not to far from you. Best of luck!Dr Dhaval PatelDouble Board Certified Plastic SurgeonChicago Hoffman EstatesOak Brook

Answer: Thinking about traveling to Columbia for a BBL? Thank you for your questions. Let me just say that I would seriously advise you to avoid medical tourism. While you think you are saving money, you are putting yourself at great risk and it is not worth the savings. Often "plastic surgeons" in other countries are not even plastic surgeons and are not under the same regulations and scrutiny as those in this country. If you end up having problems and are back here, you will have no one to turn to and no way to get back to your surgeon. Just take one look on this website and you will see one story after another of tragic tales of people who have done what you are considering and spent a significant amount of money and time afterward regretting that decision.Above all, be safe!
