That's expensive for a tummy in DR, you can actually have it done in Miami for a lot less than that. Most places in Miami will charge between 3000-3500 for a tummy tuck.

It also includes bbl, recovery house it is a little less since im no longer doing breast lift with implants

Did you actually get that quote Wenbbon? I check with 4 doctors in Miami before deciding to go to DR and was quoted between $6,000-$7,500.

Yes its not the cost I was going to go to a Dr. in Miami but too many infections, I chose this doctor based on patient safety
and his work is amazing

Hello my name is Mia, One thing about the surgeons in the US I noticed they don't give you that curve that you want. I've noticed pictures and also I had gotten surgery done back in 2011 and I wasted so much money and it didn't even look like I got anything done. Recently I had gone to The Dominican Republic I got my body done and it looks amazing if you will see the pictures before and after you will be amazed. My doctor's name is José Luis Acosta collado. If you look him up through this website he'll come up and also if you want to see my before and after pictures I can send them to you. If you need help I can walk you through the procedures and what to expect.

I'm excited for you! I think this is who I want to do my surgery since he seems to have a lot of experience with patients who have lost a lot of weight. I've lost 90 pounds so far and want to lose 100 more so it will be next year before I'm stable.

@ ms sandybee Yes! If you check my review you will see the work I recently had done. I had a breast lift with silicone implants and I paid 5000 for that and I had a inverted tummy tuck also called a corset trunkplasty cause i lost 80 pounds and my Doctor here in Fort Lauderdale took 10 pounds of fat and skin from my stomach and a liter of lipo fat from my back so that not even a standard tummy tuck and I just paid 4000 for that. I lived in DR and had work done there and honestly its not worth traveling over there, with airfare and boarding its more will be a lot more than in Miami plus if something goes wrong like if you don't get the results you like its much easier and cheaper to come to Miami then to go back to DR. My friend came from Atlanta to Miami and had lipo in her stomach and back, butt lift and breast implants and she only paid 5000, she ended up getting pregnant like 4 months after surgery which made her put some weight on yet she still went back to the doctor that did her surgery almost 2 years later and they did more lipo and a fat transfer to her butt and she only had to pay 500 buck for the anesthesia. Most doctor in Miami will do revisions within a year or 2.
