Feliz-sisima with my Breast Lift and Tummy Tuck in DR

WORTH IT
44 yrs old + two C-sections. Going under cosmetic surgery can be intimidating. Thinking about the pain of surgery, the recuperation process, and then, worrying about if the results were as you expected could be a nerve-wracking experience. This is part of the reason why I put my trust in Dr. Katherine Feliz and her staff in the Dominican Republic. I had a wonderful and positive connection from my very first consultation to waking up after the operation and all the aftercare afterward.
Dr. Feliz (felizhappy) talked me through the procedure what it would involve, and the type of outcome she would be able to reach through my Breast Lift and Tummy Tuck operation. Dr. Feliz is a professional, knowledgeable and highly skilled doctor who is friendly and sensitive to patients' needs. She explained to me everything meticulously how the surgery works and gave me all the instructions to follow after surgery. I recommend listening carefully to the instructions, since the more you follow them, the fewer complications you will have. I believe that Dr. Feliz is the easiest and most understanding surgeon. She always made me feel very comfortable and at ease. There is no pressure to do anything you’re not comfortable with. I was amazed by the support, kindness and the excellent caring nature the CECIP staff have shown me. From the receptionist, nurses, anesthesiologists, massagists, all the way up to Dr. Feliz. Their professionalism and expertise are faultless.
Also, I have to say that the Dominican Republic (Santo Domingo) is a safe and beautiful country. Of course, you must take care of some precautions as you do when visiting any other country, respect the law and pay attention to details. For example, getting hydrated with purified water since tap water is not trustable and taking trustable taxis. Uber to mention one. You must be in Santo Domingo at least 6 days before the surgery to schedule your surgery five days after your arrival to prevent future complications such as a blood clot.
I recommend bringing loose clothes, comfortable shoes, plenty of t-shirts and wire-free removable pad bras. Although the body shaper is included to wear it on the first day of post-op, I suggest bringing at least one more, since you will wear it 24/7. Equally important is bringing perineal wash since you might not be taken a shower for a while. You can have a sponge bath though.
I advise being free of negative thoughts and enjoy your journey. Dominican people are easy-going, funny and happy. Take advantage of such an amazing place! Eat healthily! I enjoyed eating all kinds of Dominican food!
Regarding CECIP, it is located across the presidential palace, clean and well decorated. The parking lot is a pain though. No problem if you do not need to park or just to drop off.
I have to confess that I don’t usually write reviews, but I can’t recommend Dr. Feliz and CECIP in the Dominican Republic enough to anyone thinking of having any surgery. I am very glad, I feel Feliz-sisima (super happy with Dr. Feliz) I did go through with the procedure and the experience. I have only five weeks of post-op and the results could not have been more satisfactory. Lastly, if you are looking for natural results with minimal scarring and maximum care, then this is the right place and right surgeon for you. I wouldn’t hesitate about coming back for a BBL! Thank you all.

I Can See my Waist Again!

Hello everyone
Here are my pictures ten weeks after my TT and BL. I was able to return to work and do my regular activities( as a busy-crazy mom of two!). As you notice my stomach is still swollen. My only concern is the scar but it seems to be healing quite well. I tried using those silicone scar healing tapes, but honestly dont think it works. I cant wait to start working out and get my tummy completely flat again.
