I just like many of u ladies have been researching for a long time for a cosmetic plastic surgeon in the Dominican Republic. There so many to chose from but realself did help narrow it down. I chose DR. Tania medina. A wise choice I might add! She was extremely fast In Responding to my email, then communicating via the whatsapp. And answered all my million question at all hours of the day. Not only is she an amazing Surgeon but she is sooooooo nice and humble. Upon my arrival I was greeted with a big hug as if I were family, and I was amazed at the fact that I was not nervous going into the surgical room! That's how comfortable I felt with her and the CECILIP clinic. By the way the clinic was extremely clean which my mom who traveled with me made sure of lol... Moms! I had a tummy tuck, back lipo and bbl. I was soposed to also have a breast reduction but my hemoglobin was not high enough and she said I had to come back. (I've herd horror stories about woman who's doctors still did them with lower hemo just to make a buck while they're so fragile and week and take longer to recover. So much for professional ethics!.) So anyways to my surprise when I woke up my mom, the doctor and Miosotis who was taking care of me during my 3 week stay were all chatting it up having a good ol time. My mom later told me that DR. Medina had been there for over an hour because she wanted to examine me herself after I woke up. I was given iron cause my hemoglobin went down during my procedures, and I won't lie I also had a pint of blood, but after that fist night I felt much better. I was shocked at the very little pain I was in after all my body had just went through. I attribute that partially to the arnica I had been taking prior to surgery. To be honest my ass was the part of my body I mostly felt pain from the bbl for about 7-10 days and just subsided slowly afterwards. I think my positive attitude and the fact that I've been wanting these procedures done for so long and it finally happened also attributed to my fast healing and recovery. My caregiver Miosotis there in DR was just as great as DR. Medina. They had communication with one another on a daily basis to check on my progress and when Miosotis thought something was not normal, DR. Medina quickly would fit me in no questions asked. Thank god everything always was normal. Miosotis took fantastic care of me during my stay at her recovery house. She got me to all my appts cooked all my meals, her and her mother were always making me natural juices to help eliminate fluid and she also did all my lymphatic drainage massages. She's a massage therapist and some sort of nurse by trade, and a hell of a good one. I am forever grateful to DR. Tania Medina and Miosotis for making me look and feel as good on the outside as I feel in the inside . I am a Medina doll!!!!' I'm looking forward to the second part of my transformation in January for my breast reduction. Thank you DR. Medina and the staff at CECILIP.

Good luck!! Just make sure u research well and consider a doctor or clinic that offers insurance in the event of an emergency during or after surgery. Not all doctors offer that and I'll tell u what that alone is piece of mind! And if a doctor offers that insurance ask to read contract ahead of time cause I meet 2 girls while I was there and they both paid for that insurance but after their procedure when they needed bood, iron and ointment they had to come out of pocket. So much for the "insurance"! Good luck on your journey :)

Your results are fantastic! The scar is so low it's beautiful. How many hours were you in surgery please? Also how did you go to sleep? Was it an IV, epidural or gas mask. Please help with answers. Thanks

Hi! I think 3 1/2 hours for surgery and I had an epidural.

You were awake?!! Thanks for the quick reply. Was it scary? What about pain? Were you numb?

They gave me a pill and 20 min later I was I. Operating table and I was out. I did wake up during the procedure twice, but felt absolutely no pain and maybe a few seconds later fell back asleep again. I think epidural is the best way cause there are less health risks. When I woke up I had minimal pain and during my recovery was amazingly the same. For the exception of my butt cause that was sore for about a week, but nothing bad at all. You know I think I was never scared cause I wanted this so bad and was just to exited so never had fear in my mind

You are so kind. Thank you for responding. I got a quote from her and the total came to $8,500!!!??? I'm wondering if it's cause the hernia repair alone is $2,500/2,000. I was a little sad cause I felt in my heart she was the one. Thanks again.

Most likely it was that much cause of the hernia cause it's usually not that much! Good luck

You look amazing! I'm a newbie to this & considering BL, TT and maybe LIPO. Did you have to b seen in person? How much did your precdure cost?
User Avatar
November 30, 2014
Hi! It's not nessasary to be seen in person unless u feel like u should. I had been in contact with the doctor about 6 month prior to procedures via whatsapp on the cell phone. So most people send pics and that's how u get quotes. My procedures were 4,500 dollars. I felt it was important to get to know my ps prior to surgery so all my questions could be answered and so that I was sure she understood my concerns.
November 30, 2014
Oh ok. I'm getting all the information I need at this point. Still a little nervous. Thanks I will give her a call.
