Hi ladies. So I got several quotes from different doctors. From the two doctors i preferred, Dr. Moises Salama quoted me $8,900. I paid $8,600 in NY I'm not looking to pay the same price for a second BBL. Dr. Asmin Aquino from the Dominican Republic (same dr my cousin went to) quoted me $2,800 for surgery alone but when you include- lab work $180, cardiac testing $80, girdle $170, medication $80, ride from airport and to airport $100 and $90 a day if I stay at the recovery home it goes up. I ask if I could bring a relative along to stay with me at recovery home he said yes in that case it'll be $75 each. So if I add up everything for two people to stay at recovery home for 6 days (he suggest 5-7 days) it goes up to $4,310, not including flight or food. That's about half of what I paid in NY. Now my problem is finding someone to go with me. Has anyone ever stayed at a recovery home? What was it like? I'm Dominican and Puerto Rican, I can understand, speak, read and write Spanish but I have never been to DR. I'm afraid of going to the country alone. Is anyone thinking of scheduling with him? Maybe we can share a room? He recommends I wait until I have 6 months since my first surgery, which I will make 6 months March 10. So I'm thinking of going in April. I also checked with Dr. Hyman, he recommends I wait 4 months before doing lipo again safely, which I'm already at 4 months. Now I just need to decide if I should do it agin in DR...

Dr Hyman does not do Vaser so Brooklyn3066 must be confusing him with someone else.

If u are thinking of going to DR and u will bring a relative with u, u'll come out alot cheaper with a rental home & car. Try airbnb.com; homeaway.com; vrbo.com those have nice places and a range of rates. Search Santo Domingo, Boca Chica, and Don Julio

I am three months post opt of my surgery. I went to the DR to have mine done and it was good. Dr. Katherine Feliz Camillo did mine and i am happy with my results. You should call global medical service to see if you can get a better quote. I paid $8500 total for my surgery; that included everything but airfare...(liposuction, tummy tuck, BBB, hotel, and ground transportation). It even included an assistant to help guide you through the process.
