Excited/Nervous but a Baez Doll in the Makin.... - Dominican Republic

Oh wow...I'm not on Instagram. This is what I got in my email from her: Hello Thank you for thinking of me for an evaluation of plastic surgery, for realization of all the surgeries you requested the most important thing is that you must be healthy and the cardiologist must approve that we can perform all procedures. Price for tummy tuck, liposculture to abdomen, waist, sides, back and Brazilian butt lift is US$ 3900 US dollars, You need to ask for a physical at your country and get some lab work with your doctor to get sure you don’t have anemia and you are healthy and ready for surgery This quote includes: -Evaluation by plastic surgeon -Complication insurance -Cardiovascular evaluation (any other evaluation needed by pulmonologist or any specialist is not included). -Laboratory exams, X- ray, EKG -Anesthesia fee -Surgeries fee -Overnight stay in the clinic (only for the day of your surgery ) -First compressive garment -Free of charge follow ups in the office -Medication post-surgery (antibiotics and analgesics) Not included in the quote: -Transportations -Second stage garment - Compression socks -Medications like vitamins, enoxaparin and creams for massages - If you smoke or have ant respiratory disease like asthma you will need an evaluation by a pulmonologist to clear you for surgery which will cost you around 150 USD extra -If you have high blood pressure or during your evaluation is necessary to do any further test like an echocardiography you need to pay extra for this test, it generally will cost you around 100 USD extra - Lymphatic drain massages and ultrasound massages are not included, cost is 300 dollars extra -we don’t have offers for groups - Recovery house is not included in the quote -THIS QUOTE IS GOOD FOR 6 MONTHS You need to weigh less than 200 pounds or BMI less than 32 kg/m2 in order to get surgery birth control pills and weight loss pills should be suspended a month before surgery. Aspirin, omega 3 and vitamin E should also be stopped 14 days before surgery. If you have any clinical condition you must obtain clearance from your doctor, if you smoke you must quit two months before surgery and have clearance of your pulmonologist. The amount of fat transfer to your buttocks depends on how many cc can be extracted with liposuction. Your results also depend on your hemoglobin level if you want to get excellent results you really have to be healthy and no anemia and please ask your primary can doctor to take some blood test like glycaemia, full blood cell count and creatinine at least to know if you can have all surgeries done. You can begin to take vitamins once your surgery appointment is near (Iron, Vitamin C and B12 plus Folic acid are very helpful). If you have pads, lipo foam, waist cincher or corset please bring it Important info: Your date for surgery is important because I work from Monday to Friday (days for surgery are from Tuesday to Friday). I usually have one patient per day, you also have to arrive one day before surgery to be evaluated and have lab work done, and if you are arriving early it is better for you because lab tests can be done from 8.00 am to 3.00 pm. If you come later the lab work and the entire test will be done the next day and you will lose the day of your surgery please come as early as you can. Medication included in you package are antibiotics, analgesics and gastric protection medication, all drugs provided are given to take by mouth, but you will have to buy Enoxaparin, water pill and creams for bruises (arnica gel) and any other medication not previously included, medicines aren’t expensive here so you will spend around 200 dollars. Massages are not included. You should bring compression socks to wear them after surgery. You can also bring your own medication; here is a list of basic meds Augmentin 1gr every twelve hours for ten days (antibiotic) Omeprazole or any other antacid for 5 days one every day Arnica gel Medication for nausea Lovenox 40 mg every day for 7 days Medication for itching (not every patient but some feel itching) Any strong medication for pain like percoset every 6 to 8 hours for 5 days Vitamins (the ones you were using before surgery) vitamins are iron, folic acid and Vitamin C and B12 here are some good items to bring (P EZ) Female urinal baby wipes to clean your body you cant take showers here Anti-bacterial soap Neosporin Gauze Alcohol pads Camisoles/tank-tops Maxi pads or lipofoam Maxi dress flat shoes Compression stockings Boppy pillow Arnica gel Stool softener Pre-op vitamins and post-op protein shakes Your compressive garment included is a Mariae’s brand item if you want one more garment cost 100-150 dollars. You will need to buy a stage two faja 3-5 days after your surgery so if you want you can bring one or buy it here in a faja store. I work with a team, cardiologist will evaluate you and my anesthesiologist will examine you and discuss what type of anesthesia suits you right, you might have epidural block or general anesthesia. Anesthesiologist and cardiologist have the last word about how many procedures can be done safely on you. If you have a tummy tuck, we include with a tummy tuck muscle repair. If you get a breast augmentation, there are several brands of breast implants but all are silicone gel cohesive, texturized implants (Silimed, Eurosilicone, and Donasis) depending on the brand you choose then your quote might be lower or higher, (Silimed is the most expensive brand as they have the approval of FDA ). In the quote you receive we generally include Eurosilicone implants for your surgery. PLASTIC SURGERY IS NOT THE SAME AS WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY; YOU HAVE TO BE INSIDE NORMAL RANGE OF BMI (BODY MASS INDEX) OR JUST OVERWEIGHT TO HAVE SURGERY. ANESTHESIOLOGIST REQUEST THAT PATIENTS MUST WEIGHT 200 POUNDS OR LESS. IF YOU SMOKE OR USE ADDICTIVE DRUGS YOU MUST QUIT THEM ONE OR TWO MONTHS BEFORE SURGERY AND TWO MONTHS AFTER TOO IN ORDER TO GET GOOD RESULTS AND NO COMPLICATIONS. PLASTIC SURGERIES ARE FOR HEALTHY PEOPLE OR THOSE WHO HAVE ANY CLINICAL CONDITION BUT ARE UNDER CONTROL, IF YOU HAVE ANY DISEASE YOU HAVE TO CONSULT AND GET APPROVAL OF YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE SURGERY. ANY MEDICATIONS LIKE ASPIRIN, BIRTH CONTROL PILL, WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATION, OMEGA FATTY ACIDS, VITAMIN E AND HORMONES COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF COMPLICATIONS SO YOU NEED TO CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR AND WITH ME ABOUT THE TIME WHEN YOU NEED TO SUSPEND OR CHANGE THESE MEDICATIONS. We are located in Santo Domingo (capital of the country), Dominican Republic; the nearest airport is Las Americas International Airport (SDQ).

Good morning Ladies! I am a persistent one....Lol. I called the office a few times yesterday and ended up speaking to that same gentleman. He confirmed that she NO LONGER ACCEPTS MONEYGRAM OR WESTERN UNION. He told me to cancel the MONEYGRAM I sent. I instantly went into panic mode and explained my situation and told him I didn't want to lose my surgery date. He reassured me I would not and said to email and whatsapp her and she will send bank wire instructions. I told him I've done that a few times already and it's been a few days. He said that was OK and she will eventually respond. So I feel better. Obviously she's not money hungry or trying to rip people off which is a good thing.

Good luck on your journey! Keep trying to contact her I'm sure she will eventually get back to you. My date is in November I'm super excited and a little nervous at the same time.

Thank you sooo much for posting! I'm having difficulty reaching her too. I also sent my deposit via money gram on July 14 and I'm still waiting for her response. She gave me a surgery date of October 20. I've been emailing and using whatsapp.

When sending money, forward a copy of your receipt to them. May get a quicker response back. Best wishes on your procedure!
