Went into this wanting a tummy tuck?? Through research and consultations decided on a full tummy tuck with lipo and transfer to the butt. I love the results of one doctor, but he's not certified(eligible tho). Found a certified doctor in Dominican Republic, but scared to go out the country.... help!

If you have not checked her out, I would schedule a consultation with Dr. Hardway. She is not too far from you and you might want to be able to recover comfortably at home.

Thank you so much for that. I'll check her out.

I would pick the DR which I have and I've narrowed it down to two doctors Dr Medina and Dr Duran. However I reach out to both which doctor medina recommend a little weight loss by February, Dr. Duran refused to even quote me because Until I loose the 20lbs. But I'm having a TT,bbl and LIPO for 5,350

Thank you so much for the comment and words of advice. I booked it paid my deposit with Dr. Harake today and feel pretty confident. He even lowered my price (a little, but hey) because he was confident he could give me great results and was really concerned about the DR. He looked up all the doctors I was considering right in his office. Even had his next patient waiting because I had a million questions written down.

I got quotes from both Medina and Yily. Both quoted $5200. I was really serious at one point on the DR. I know I couldn't go by myself, So father of my kids it is!!! I would have to pay for both of our travel and after that I wouldn't save much:( so that made my decision a little easier after calculations.

Plus size finding PS!!! Tummy tuck

Ok so I'm for sure not going out the country. Matter fact Michigan it is!! Big shout out and coodo's to all the ladies that went out the country, got great results and saved a bunch of money. I'm just too scared!!! Think I read too many reviews... Any who I think I'm going with............... Dr. Harake!!!!!!!!!!
I am a plus size and been doing alot of research so I think I will schedule for January. I want to lose 15-25 more pounds before the surgery. Plus I start vein removal surgery on both next week with 12 procedures totals, twice a week so I wanna completely separate the 2. My PS says it should be fine even if I do them together but..... Nope!!!
I love everything about Harake besides him making me feel like "lets go, lets do this now" Even sounded a little disappointed when he realized I was firm with January. I can I should upload pictures huh!

I went to Cancun...good results but if I had to do it over..I WOULD STAY STATE SIDE! no true post op care...working with my regular doc doing my post op care. Lots of ups and downs with this surgery. I am 3 weeks 3 days post op..still struggling with swelling, now I am spitting a stitch on my mons pubis..my PS from Cancun says to remove it...I tried it wont come out..i feel so frustrated...wished I had a plastic surgeon here to do post op with. Stay near your hometown in case you need help with post op care. Take my advice
