Hello,
I am new to realself and am just beginning my journey with plastic surgery. I am a mom of 3 and am looking to have a tummy tuck with liposculpture to the sides, back, inner &outer thighs and arms--- approximate date Late March 2014
I have decided to have my surgery in the Dominican Republic. I have always been afraid because of the horror stores of people going overseas and getting botched surgeries. But over the years I have met at least 8 women who have had work done in DR. All look fabulous by the way. Only one had a bad experience but I believe its because she did not follow doctors orders and returned to work wayyyyy to soon. Plus she always had keloid issues.
I am Dominican, my mother lives half the time in santiago so I am looking into 2 plastic surgeons in Stantiago, Dr. Yussef Serulle who operates out of Clinical Corominas and Dra. Jacqueline Miranda Pereyra who operates out of the the most modern hospital in santiago Hospital Metropolitano de Santiago (HOMS). I have read a few reviews from Dr. Serulle and seen some before and afters. Dr Pereyra however I cannot find any reviews on; that worries me. I only know one person who had several procedures done with her she looks natural and great ... But I will still consult with her because I like the facility she operates in ... should anything go wrong I want the best available. Also I know the DON at HOMS santiago so I wld have someone kinda watching my back. In DR it ALLLL about connections and who you know in order to get great service. I plan to fly out 1st week in september ; Dr. Serulle has free consultation and Dr. Pereyra has a $50 USD consultation fee.
I also have planned to consult with 2 doctors in the capital, Santo Domingo.... Dr Walkiris Robles and Dra. Yily De Los Santos. From what I gather from the website they both have free consultations. These two doctors are very popular here on real self and i have seen lots and lots of reviews and pictures. I like Dra. Robles natural looking results ...the waist is not so super cinched and obviously done, however I'm not impressed with her work on breasts. I am CONSIDERING doing a BL/BA not sure yet but I want to keep that in mind when I choose my doctor. Dra. Delossantos does super liposculpture work...supercinch waste and great back work..... I just have to decide if I want cinched or natural.
So I hope to meet all the doctors before I choose, Bedside manner is important to me, and i wld like to get a vibe before i select. 1st week in september ......i will keep RS posted with info as i gather it----- Cost, date, pictures etc

You should look into Dr Estevez. He is a young new doctor with lots of experience. His cuts are very calculated and he injects what look natural and what fits your body type. He is very good with communication and goes over and beyond go make sure you are well taken care of. I highly recommend him and you can contact him and he will respond immediately

Quote From Dra. Walkiris Robles

Dra Walkiris Robles got back to me and gave me an estimate via email. I sent her some photos (head cut off) lol for privacy and she replied within a day or two. For a TT, Lipo of waist, Breast Lift with implant, All inclusive package with recovery house $6200. Without recovery house $5350. BUT she says I have to lose 20 pounds first. womp womp womppppp.... thats gonna be hard but I'm trying. Spoke to my PCP and he prescribed me Qysmia as an appetite suppressant to aid in the battle against the pounds, I've been on it for a week. Lost a pound. meh! Also using fitpal to track my calories. We'll see what happens.
If I did decide to go with Dra. Robles I would definitely pick the all inclusive, because even though I have a lot of family out there, we all live 2 hours away from the doctors office, I'd rather be close and the price difference is not that much.

I have emailed today my info to Dra. Yily DelosSantos to get her opinion and quote.

My only concern is that there is no mention of arms. Last thing i want is this flat tiny waist and big wrestler arms ..... i dunno. I will try to post some pictures for u guys to see what i mean
