I am doing my research on affordable doctors in Miami.

Which are the best doctors there?

How was your experience, did you get the desired result, any complications, service experience ?

How much did you pay for flights, surgery, accommodation,the break down and all inclusive?

I am thinking of Dr Mel Ortega - any recommendations on him?

I'm also waiting for a quote and I'm planning on March of 2015 maybe February the earliest . I have to save up! I'm not traveling from London I'm travelling from Toronto but I will be staying longer then a week. I know a lot of ladies who come from London stay longer in Miami because of the long flight home. I wanted to stay in the recovery house for 5 days and a condo rental for 7days. I want to find someone to spilt the costs

I'm planning to stay at assistance4life and I believe that it's 700 for 5 nights and 6days. There may be a discount if there's more then one. What's included is a care giver for the first 24hrs, a driver to and from appointments and massages, drinks, breakfast and dinner, laundry, cleaning , etc.

I will be travelling from London to Miami for a bbl. My chosen surgeon is Dr Mel Ortega. I will stay in US for 2 weeks. Looking to buddy up with other real self girls to share half costs for recovery home / hotel.

Does anyone know an all inclusive affordable recovery home in Miami???

or a caregiver and transportation offers? I may rent a room with air bnb or hotel.

January 16, 2015
I haven't done mine. I have paid my deposit planning to get it done end of February.
