Okay! My surgery experience. Well its been 3 months and I feel amazing, a little sore still, but feeling good. After two years of thinking and research and more thinking I finally decided to go head with my surgery. I researched lots of Doctors in the Dominican Republic. Some doctors returned my emails and calls others didn't. Some gave me good prices and promises of a great looking body, but I didn't feel it right. Till one night my husband and I were watching an interview show on a Dominican channel called "Television Dominicana". That night the subject of discussion was plastic surgery, and a doctor was being interviewed. And guess who it was? My beautiful Dra. Tania Medina. I watched the entire interview, and was amazed with all the information she was given, that I decided to email her that same night. And to my surprise my email was answered the following day first thing in the morning. She gave me rate, available date and others surgery information. This was back in November 2014, and in April 6, 2015 I had my surgery. I wanted to have my breast done but my Hemo was 13 and she only perform 2 surgery at that level. So, I had done Tummy Tuck, Liposculpture and a little fat transfer to my butt. Everything went well and my recovery was fast. The only thing I did not like was the drainage that was hurting on one side, I guess that thing moves so it was pinching my hip bone and it was hell, but beside that it was all good. My incision healed great. The massage were hell that hurts like hell, Yeah! but it needed to be done is part of the recovery those painful massages, and my Nurse did not played around when it came to squeezed me like cheese. Anyways I love my results, I love the care I was given at the clinic, and the staff were lovely, and of course Dra. Medina care was AMAZING. I would recommend her 100%. Cant wait for round 2, my breast lift, which I will have it done as soon as am full recovered from this one.

Your experience sounds amazing and you seem very pleased with the results!!!
The more I read on Dr Medina, the more I want to do this! I want to ask if you had someone travel with you (like family or a friend) and did you have any additional cost or expenses??

Thank you for sharing your results and pics with us :)

Since am from the Island I have families there. I did took my husband's cousin who is a nurse and has lots of experience caring for this type of surgery patients. She is was very good. I know the cost for one recovery house is $80 per day and you get the three meals, AC, WIFI and good care. There are others recovery homes at different prices, but you can ask at the clinic where you are going to have it done and they will recommend one for you. To tell you I spent $5500 in total, that included the medicines, massages an extra girdle that cost $150, cause by the 2 week the one you get from the surgeon fits you big, and other stuff. But yeah you can expect to spend $1000 to $2000 extra. I know a girl who was quoted $4500 like me and end up expending $8000 for the time she was there.
