Hi, I am completely new here, just recently decided to go for plastic surgery, through a friend heard that Costa Rica is a good cheap place to get things done. So I kind of just did some research , found a place called" medical group of Costa Rica ", got a response and a quote for bbl, lipo and breast implants with lift for 8000$, set up with las cumbers inn for recovery, got plane tickets , surgery set up for January 6. Well, after that I came upon this website, and read a lot of things, seems like nobody really knows about Costa Rica and it's doctors,i also asked for before and after pics from the medical place there and the secretary wrote that it's a team of doctors so she doesnot have any particular ones for the doctor I am seeing , his name is dr. Cohen.i looked at his credentials and it looks promising , but then I have been coming upon names of dr.yily and dr. Duran, needless to say I am impressed with how many reviews they have and their results, they CAN be linked to exact patients and it's promising , unlike the Costa Rica doctor. So I emailed both yily and Duran and only got automated response from yily and a quote of 6500 for bbl,tt, breast lift with implants, but no real person as of now. My problem is that after all this I don't feel like going to Costa Rica but would rather go to yily or Duran, but I cannot return or exchange airplane tickets so that means loosing 780$. Any input? Does anyone know much about Costa Rica? Is dr. Cohen a good doctor? I honestly cannot find one picture linked to him. Should I just try to go to Dominican Republic instead? Please share thoughts or knowledge, like I said, I booked everything too fast and now have doubts.

Hi there, welcome and thanks for sharing your journey with us!

What is Dr. Cohens full name? I'll do a quick site search and see if we have any information on him for you.

You may also find information in the BBL Forums and BBL Guides useful, while you're researching and preparing.

Good luck and please do keep us updated with your progress!

I've had a quick look for you and there's very little information on that particular doctor. I could only find 3 reviews, which you can read, here.

Thank you,kristy, well looks like I have to loose 780$ for my Costa Rica tickets, I don't think I feel confident going to dr. Cohen, with such small amount if info and no pictures , I have written to dr yily and duran , no response , yet any tips on how to get an appointment with them?

I don't personally have any tips on getting in touch with them. I have read from some of the other girls that it can take a while to get a response, so patience is a virtue! You may find some tips in the BBL forum, or you can contact some of the other girls who have Duran or Yily reviews and see if they have any tips for you.

im new to just considered it a few weeks ago then found this site last week. it really help. along with my reseach the posts on here helped me pick my doc right away. it was only gonna be yily or duran. I emailed both the same day and waited only one day to hear from them ... got hype and emailed them again, yily office repsonded...by the 3rd day i had a quote made a deposit and had a date of 7 Jan2015 which is only two weeks away. Maybe thats why my quote was so high. Glad i had it...just want it over already. Im more afraid of the plane ride home alone in pain more than anything else. been in the military for 20yrs. i want that "killer" body. "blow dem up like the army brigade lol
