Plus Size Woman Seeking Brazilian Butt Lift + Chin Lipo - Dominican Republic, DO
Hello! Aren't I glad to have found this community!...
Hello! Aren't I glad to have found this community! I'm 27 yrs of age, 220 lbs, 5'5, mommy of two. I've been on here a few weeks just playing the hermit crab but I think it's time I come out of my shell! I have added a few pictures of myself without any procedures, but I'm sure you noticed that by now! Looking to have a BBL + chin lipo. Despite having excess tummy, flank, back fat and skin I don't mind it much, what I'm more self conscious of is my booty and chin. So I've been in touch with several Dr.'s in Dom. Republic via Whatsapp (eg. Dr. Jairo Ulerio, Dr. Gustavo Almanzar, Dr. Duran-no response at all, Dr. Nelson Rubio & Dr. Emmanuel Mallol) All recommended by people in my town who have had work or know of someone who has had work done by them, I've also done my own research and made sure they are all members of SODOCIPRE (in other words, make sure they're legitimate surgeons). Why have I looked at so many, well it's like shopping around for a an insurance quote, a vehicle, a home. I'm determined to find the best care, work and price. Now I will say, I haven't seen one plus size women on here who has only had a BBL WITHOUT tummy tuck. I understand that everyone's BBL depends on many factors but I had one Dr. turn me down for BBL because he refused to do the BBL without a tummy tuck. I know the Dr. knows best (in most cases), but ultimately I have the final say as to what I want, right. Can anyone else relate? I do not want a tummy tuck, or the scar at this point. I plan on one more pregnancy, in the near future. I am in need of a surgery buddy..... my plans are to travel end of July 2016, and I would appreciate some advise, tips, ideas, places to stay.
As far as Recovery houses I've checked several in DR (Yasmin RH, Oasis RH, Betty family RH, Silhouette RH, Mansion Recovery Harmonia, My Home Caregivers & Recovery). These all have great reviews, I think I will be going with Yazmin RH seemed reasonable in price, reviews and response time and just what I need a place to rest my head, heal and go. I'll check back soon! xoxox .

Change of plans! Traveling- April 14-18, 2016
I will be in the capital April 14-15th , after my procedure I will be relocating to Boca Chica (closest beach to airport, 15-20 mins & a little under an hour from the capital. I booked a 1 bedroom apt with kitchen, through an AirBnB (www.airbnb.com) host -for $40/night, steps from the beach, breakfast included, close to everything! This place has great reviews, (whispers) the host is Romina!
Helpful tips:
*There are no swimming beaches in Santo Domingo (the capital) Bummer!
*There are banks on the upper level of Las Americas airport to convert your dollars to pesos
(best rates are through these banks, deal only with reputable banks and exchange booths)
*I found a nice cheat sheet to carry in my wallet that converts US dollars to Dominican pesos, I figured it would be less likely to get ripped off if I know my numbers. ( www.oanda.com).
*Stick to using pesos, with dollars your less likely to get exact change, from my understanding. Welp gotta go, mommy duties call!

...all I could do is pray that I didn't catch some sort of disease or bacteria. Thankfully all turned out fine but next year I'm going back for a TT & BBL it just definitely will not be with the same Dr. not that he wasn't a good Dr. but the clinic just gave me the heebee jibbys.

Best currency exchange places in DR!
