“Do not go to the Dominican Republic for your surgery, period, no matter what type of surgery it is, unless of course you like playing Russian roulette,” cautions Miami plastic surgeon Sean Simon, MD. “The same would go for the myriad of ‘clinics’ aka chop shops in Miami.”
Travel Tips to Consider
“I encourage individuals to consider reputable alternatives here in the U.S., including board-certified plastic surgeons accredited by the American Board of Plastic Surgery,” notes Dr. Simon. “It’s crucial to note that being board-certified alone is not sufficient; seeking out professionals with a proven track record of success and expertise is paramount for a safe and satisfactory outcome.”
