Dominican Republic surgeons

Has anyone ever had surgery in the Dominican republic?
A female plastic surgeon prices I was quoted was really cheap!
Thanks to all who answer this is first time I've on oh In over a year.
A childhood friend of mine has scheduled surgery there.
I'm getting very concerned for her.

What is the surgeon's name? Knowing that would make researching them a good deal easier...

I have no idea what surgeons name is tried looking into DR but didn't find a listing.

I'm sorry, I apologize.

Thank you for answering.

No need to apologize, but maybe ask your friend for the surgeon's name? That way, you can get the information.

I don't know many people have had it done in the Dominican Republic. Although the prices may be cheap you definitely don't want to just base your decision on that. A lot of people have gone to a plastic surgeon in Mexico named Dr. Sauceda. He has his own group on here and his prices are very reasonable. He also does great work from what I've seen and I'm definitelly going to him. Check out the group Body by Sauceda on Facebook. I hope its noe too out of line to suggest him. Everyone in the group raves about him, his work, and about the quality of his work.

I did suggest Dr Sauceda several months ago but they found that DR was cheaper. I was hoping to find someone on here that had went to DR, to set my mind at ease.

Thank you for your response.

The surgeon may be cheap but do you really want to risk you body for a surgeon you don't know anything about? Has anyone recommended it to you? As someone once said it doesn't matter if your body looks good if you're in a coffine. If you decided to go with that surgeon make sure you find out everything you can about them. Please be safe.

Not me that's going to DR, it's a person I know.
Yes, and it's scares me to know they're going there for the sake of money.
Was hoping anyone on here could give me heads up to ease my mind. Because until they return and recover I will be on pins and needles.

Its hard too know because we don't really know who the surgeon is. Your friend shouldn't go if its just for money reasons.
