Default Dr Carlos Lopez

Hello,

Has anyone here ever heard anything about Dr. Carlos Lopez? I am thinking of going to see him for my BA. He is located in Santo Domingo. Can anyone help Please?!

Thx!

Default retirement funds?

I just hope that all you ladies are paying attention as closely to your financial well being as you are to your measurements/

Have you fully funded your retirement funds, paid off all mortgages, and set aside money for your children's college before you spend your money... which I assume is someone's hard earned-- on all this cosmetic fluff.

Because, you know, women are much more likely to end up in poverty in their later years

And men are much more likely to just trade in the 50s model for two 25s no matter how good it looks

all the above may be ignored of course if you are making $1k an hour as a runway model, but in that case, you would not be looking for the bargins down here and would not risk your lives with such procedures.

Note that most ex pats here talk about their medical plans which allow them to go OUT of the country for major surgery... which lipo definitely is.

Default What is it with this thread?

Why are there so many newbies who just post one RAVE review of a plastic surgeon and then disappear, never to be heard of again?

Why are so many of these posts in such perfect English? Why do they sound so Madison Avenue?

Are the mods checking the IPs?

Has no one posted about a botched operation here?

seems very odd to me

Are you thinking that the Dr's themselves are giving themselves 5 stars to drum up business?
Being unethical....Hmmmmm...something new here. I wouldn't put it past them.
Anyways, good observation....

Would not surprise me - there was an expose on TV the other night about this being done in connection with a well known HUGE string of Plastic Surgery offices in the US.

Back in the states you can check out a Dr's credentials, look up a complaint history with the Better Business Bureau, and even the AMA. Are there any agencys here in the D.R. that can give similar info. on a Dr's history and qualifications? I would think anyone contemplating ANY type of surgery should look into their Dr's medical background.

Default hector cabral

if you look back on this thread you will see a real pattern of all these posters asking questions about this hector cabral

then someone else, also a newbie comes back with a rave review

and then there is always a post that asks specifically about these little tummy tucks and abs and stuff in very precise terms... not the way we women talk like yikees i woke up and saw that i look like my great aunt marion and have three chins.... help...

and no, there is no way to check here. everything is very who you know.


and there are these other threads

like " I am looking for a buddy to go with me"

the plastic surgery thing here is absurd.

i saw ads in the papers last year that turned my stomach.. that what you should give your mother for her birthday was a face lift!!

Had a picture too, looked like you were carving up a face. made me shudder.

I mean, should not Mom look like a mom?

HOW ABOUT AN INVERSOR? Now that, she can use.


I know that these doctors have to make a living but there are far too many of them really.. the people are all dependent on them and mostly they just write out scrips for useless things like pills for vitamin C instead of teaching health.

and all this self mutilation for the sake of appearances...

women!!

SAVE THAT MONEY....

beauty and health radiate from the inside out.

DO NOT GO UNDER THAT KNIFE for the sake of appearance

not here, not there. not anywhere

(folding up soapbox, exiting stage left)

Don't do it here, many women have died because of the procedure done here, just my two cents.

You gave me an idea, I think I will print up a few diplomas and go into practice. I've carved up a few turkeys in my day and what the heck, If I do a bad job I'll refer them to the butcher at El National. lol
