Hi I am debating on staying in the states as well. I was going to DR but I realize you can't shower the entire time and my Dr recommends staying 14 days.
Dr.O work is really good..
It seems as every person who gets surgery in DR need to get blood transfusion
..
How did you all get your quotes from Dr Ortega? From calling or emailing
How many days do I need to stay? DR wanted to stay 14 days. Dr Fernandez Goico was a sweet and honest but its so long to be away from home and no shower or bath.
I have noticed that as well from some post on here! The work be excellent, but I've read 2 post where the women had to go to the hospital because of infection. I also saw a lady that had work in the DR, if I'm not mistaken, on Utube showing how she drains her seroma. They do a lot of work at once. I think it's pretty risky, but the work is nice!
I RECEIVED MY QUOTE VIA PHONE
They recommend you stay 5days..
Via phone after i sent my photos i received a call from the coordinator lizbeth who explained exactly what Dr. O recommend me to get
I saw this last night as well when she was draining herself,i also saw the death of patients in DR but they removed that off you tube as of today scary
I'm thinking about Dr Ortega or Dr Alvarez now.
I'm from dr and ild never go there for surgery... I have my surgery schedule for next month :)
What dr. Is doing your surgery
Dr Ortega and quote was also by email :)
I had liposuction with Dr. Ortega last week and my official quote,was provided via email.
I got my quote from Dr Ortega after I sent in my pics.
