39 Days Post Surgery
I absolutely highly recommend Dr. Emmanuel Mallol and his team. They were very professional and I am very happy with their work thus far. I had lipo, TT and BBL done on August 25, 2016. The recovery process seems very long and the process is exhausting but Dr. Emmanuel Mallol is very encouraging and reassuring. The post 39 pictures I've posted still shows I have a lot of swelling but you can still see that Dr. Mallol has done a great job and I can't wait to post updated photos in a couple of months.
There is one thing I wish was different as far as my experience with my surgery. None of the nurses spoke English. Trying to communicate my needs and pain while staying in the hospital was very difficult. Also, if you are able to get very strong pain medication from the United States and take with you to Dominican Republic I highly recommend you take them with you. Otherwise, my experience with Dr. Emmanuel Mallol and his team was very pleasant.

Did you have some burns on top of you tattoo from the lipo
October 10, 2016
From what I can tell yes but it looks like half of my tattoo is gone from them getting rid of the excess skin.

Hi, now that I am 101 days post surgery I can tell my surgery scares are up north from my tattoo. My tattoo is still intact and my waist line and my Brazilian Booty are perfect!!

love your results. How did you choose a doctor there.And how did you have to stay (in hospital and hotel) before you returned to the states. And do you recommend taking someone with you. And I see the cost. I was quote $17000. for breast lift waist and butt lift.

I did months and months of research, joined closed FB Doll groups and read a whole lot of reviews before choosing a doctor. The most popular female doctor had great reviews about her work for the most part but she also had a lot if negative comments about her assistant, unfulfilled promises and a death or a negative incident. The death was said not to be her fault but I wasn't taking any chances!
After reading Dr. Cotes reviews I contacted him and asked him if he would do 3 procedures for me at a discounted price. He came close to the price I quoted so I chose him. By the time I got to DR, I added a few body parts to get lipo and so the price of course increased a little.
You spend one day on the hospital and the rest of your time in a recovery house.
I travel out of the country and around the world by myself all the time so I don't need to take anyone with me but most people do and that's ok, it will cost more!
$17000 is too much money!! Contact Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes and see what his cost would be.

Also, the other doctors tell you you have to stay in the DR for 12 days, that increases cost. Dr. Cotes is 8 days.

Than you so much for responding back . You gave me a lot more confidence.
And you look amazing!!!

You should never try to fly less than a week after surgery. In actuality the longer you can stay, the better. Leaving too soon puts you at a much higher risk for blood clots and pulminary embolism, which can actually kill you. Don't know if you've seen the recent story of Janelle Edwards from the Bronx, but that's basically what happened with her. She flew home too soon and had issues up till the day she died. Turns out it was a blood clot from pulminary embolism.
Stay as long as you can. When you fly to ANY country for surgery and this includes the United States, 4-6 weeks is ideal before flying back because you have gotten past that risk window for blood clots.

Forgot to add....
For what I paid, I received the following procedures: lipo in my abdominal, side love handles, back, inner and outer thighs, and my triceps; a tummy tuck and BBL. The recovery house, meals, medication, compression suite, and airport transfers were all included in the price I paid.

Hello beautiful ! You look incredible .. was $5100 the price for everything you posted?
December 19, 2016
$5100 was for lipo of my: inner and outer thighs, abdominal area, and side and back love handles. Also included in that price is my tummy tuck and my BBL. That price also included 8 days in recovery with meals and transportation (airport, doctors office and prescription).
The cost that wasn't included in the $5100 was the 1 pint of blood I had to buy because my count was low, my compression garment and the lipo I had done in both of my triceps.
