Dominican Republic Plastic Surgery

hey guys!

im 10 months post op from my sleeve.

i lost 116lbs.

i started at 273lbs & im 157 now.

my goal is to be 135lbs so i have 22 more lbs to go.

since losing all the weight,

my boobs sag a lot & have deflated a lot and

my stomach is wrinkly & has a little sag.

so i want a breast lift and augmentation. i also want a full tummy tuck & fat transferred into my butt. the fat transfer will come from my back, waist & stomach & put it all in my butt to give myself the booty ive always wanted!

ive decided to start looking into plastic surgery.

i want to travel to DR to have it done.

has anyone looked into plastic surgery in DR?

what was your experience if you had it done?

how much and what did you have done?

now that i think of it, i guess i am getting sculpted because im having a fat transfer. im going to tell him to take from my waist to have a hour glass shape & from my back & is placing it in my butt. im 154 right now. i want to be 135lbs. i figure whatever he takes from my belly from a tuck will leave me at about 130lbs assuming ill have a flatter tummy then.

See.. I won't need a butt..I have tons of that! lol but I definitely want an hour glass figure so I'm guessing lipo... A tummy tuck.. breast lift..arm lift and a thight lift.. I'll have to do my surgeries in stages..But I'll do the breast and tummy first with liposuction.. Maybe I can squeeze the arms in as well.. I'll have to ask the surgeon how many procedures can be performed at once..

Mine is in between! :P

Medical Tourism is becoming a common practice. I am scheduled to have my surgery in TJ,Mx in March. It is scary but the feedback from those who've done is very positive. Good luck with your decision!

Unfortunately I think people come to Colombia without doing the proper research. I've lived in Colombia for four years and I just had my VST in Colombia. I had care comparable probably to what I would've had in United States. I have had many coworkers and friends have plastic surgery in Colombia Bogota that is without any problems. Unfortunately' date=' complications can happen anywhere. I don't believe in going to any other country to get any procedure done without doing your proper research. Overall Colombia and the Dominican Republic are both Third World countries; however not every city is equal. Bogota is a developed city with good medical care. And believe me I'm not pushing you to come to Colombia to have surgery. I just don't want people to think that this place is full of hack job doctors because that is not true. I was on the same floor two doors down from the President of Colombia. Believe me when I tell you that man could go anywhere for his surgery and he had it here. Edit to add: I am not saying she came here without doing her research, but I know of one incident where a girl died from going to a "DR" with the lowest price. Research research and that goes for any country, abroad and US!!![/quote']

Hi, I'm Dominican Puerto Rican, married to a colombian! I had my surgery on oct 1 st and can't wait to get my tune up in a year or so! I do plan on ping to bogota Colombia for it! My mother in law went and she looks great! Her sisters went and still are great and everybody is from the us! As far as their family in bogota they all see the same surgeon and he is fantastic ! The care and help is also really good! I would recommend it better than dr! Although I'm from there I heard really bad stories and I know one of my moms tenets sister died from just a breast lift! Just be very careful anywhere u decide to go! And do alot of research on the dr and their patients first!
