I'm scheduled to have a tummy tuck, lipo, and Bbl in Santo Domingo next month. The only "pain medication" on my Dr's list is "Ronex". When googling it, it's not even a pain med at all! Not sure my U.S. doctor will prescribe meds for an over-seas surgery, & getting an appt is HELL. Are there doctors I can go to, only for perscriptions? Or is there the options of getting "real" pain meds while in Santo Domingo? I have quite a low pain tolerance. HELP!
Answer: Post op medication in Dominican Republic Thank you for your question. As a plastic surgeon in Dominican Republic let me explain the pain medication that we are allow to give our patient will never be the same as US or another country because our health department law. But we do have medications that help you to tolerate the pain, remember there is a difference between pain and discomfort. Ask to your doctor about another medication and let her/him know you don’t feel comfortable only taking the one she/he prescribed. Do not bring medication from the states and take it without your doctor knowledge, your doctor is responsable of you during and after surgery. Safety always first!

Answer: How do I get real pain meds for post-op pain management in Dominican Republic? I'm sure your surgeon will prescribe/provide "real" pain medication. There is plenty of "real" pain medication in the the Dominican Republic, just like everywhere else in the world. I've never had a problem with post-op pain management. Most my patients only need pain medication for the first few days and always have some left over meds when they leave. Pain is not as bad as some patients might want you to believe.

Answer: How do I get real pain meds for post-op pain management in Dominican Republic? Hi, thanks for the questions.There is a gamma of analgesics for the treatment of pain, you do not have to worry about that, I'm sure your surgeon will tell you what you need and that it feels good to you as if he were at home. The important thing to talk with your PC. and tell them your threshold about the pain and so he will take all the necessary measures to make you feel comfortable and happy, calm, trust what your PC tells you.
