Can I get a mommy makeover in the Virgin Islands?

Question

I think the same of you pesticides surgenis should travel to the Virgin Islands ever once in awhile to do plastic surgery in the Virgin Islands. There are no PS there and it's a lot of money for the surgery and plus to find some place to stay.

Hello,Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, as difficult and costly as it may seem for you to travel for surgery, it would be very difficult as well for Plastic Surgeons in other countries to come to you and perform your surgery.I recommend that you look to nearby large cities where there are a selection of qualified, experienced Plastic Surgeons and inquire about how they might help you plan for travel to see them. Financing companies can help you handle the cost. You should seek out the best Surgeon you can find and are comfortable with, not the least expensive or the only one in town.All the best

As long as you can find a board certified plastic surgeon, you should be in good hands.  There are many in the U.S. who might be able to work with your budget as well.

There are great surgeons close by in Dominican republic/ Puerto Rico/USA .... it is all just a short flight away. We can not judge and be judged on the fact that there is not a market in The US virgin Islands. Best of luck

That one is going to my books.Let this pesticide surgeris explain you, that a surgery is not as simple as let me just go and cut that woman pieces off. Plastic surgeons that actually has some respect of the practice have a lot of requirements that needs to be filled to be able to do a surgery. I for instance will not operate on my patients unless im completely sure that the facility fits all the needs for a safe procedure, and that is not a simple task. In the other hands, Medical practice is not authorize in every country to all doctors. I can only work here in the DR and in Brazil, because i did all the process to be certified in that country as well. I imagine that as in every other country, it will be really difficult to be certified as a foreign in the virgin Islands. I guess American Plastic Surgeons will be certified in the USVI, but there goes the part where is not that easy to go to another place to perform surgeries without the proper qualifications. Also price for the Islands is always cheaper than in the US, Its just not monetary convenient for any American Plastic Surgeon to go to the USVI.Find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and
discuss what will be the proper treatment to achieve the result you desires.

Regards,

Dr. Luis Redondo
