Tummy Tuck Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

My surgery was in February 2018. I got Lipo, Tummy Tuck and BBL. Dr. Tactuk was simply amazing, so easy to relate to. Very professional and classy. I love my results and looking forward to round two. My stay at the clinic was great, meals very awesome and all the nurses were super cool. Exceptional overall service!

15 Feb 2018 After massive weight loss, I decided to get my body back with plastic surgery. I knew I couldn’t afford to do it in the states so I began to research medical tourism out of the country. The research process for surgery abroad is no small undertaking! It’s completely daunting and overwhelming! My priorities were safety, results and good aftercare. I also wanted to feel like I was important to my surgeon, and not just a number on an assembly line. I found all of that with Dr Derby Sang Caputo! After months of research, I decided on Dr Caputo. He was the very first doctor I received a quote from. He impressed me from our very first communication. Mainly because I was dealing directly with him, not an assistant. He spent probably an hour or more during our first WhatsApp conversation, answering my many questions and offering his medical opinions. He gave me so much of his valuable time before I had even committed to becoming his patient. That is very rare and one of the reasons I ultimately chose him. He explained how as a massive weight loss patient, my case was not typical and would mean multiple rounds to get my desired result. There are many doctors that will perform multiple procedures on you at one time, but Dr. C puts safety first. After that first communication, I had a very strong feeling about him but didn’t want to just go with the first doctor I received a quote from. So I spent many more months getting more quotes from other doctors. I got quotes from all over, DR, Colombia, Mexico. After hearing many negative stories about surgery in the DR, I decided that I would forgo the country altogether and almost booked a surgeon in Colombia. I was on the verge of making a deposit with that doc when I just had a feeling that that was the wrong decision. I feel it was God intervening and letting me know I was making the wrong decision. And then I was led back to Dr. Caputo. I messaged Vanessa again and she spent over an hour talking to me that day. I was so stressed and overwhelmed with the whole process of choosing a surgeon and she literally talked me off the ledge. That sealed it for me. I knew this was the team I wanted to work with. The 2 of them are always so responsive and answer all questions in a very short time. Almost immediately. Doc responds very quickly if he's not in surgery. My experience in DR went pretty flawlessly. Vanessa arranged everything and I used the transportation provided by their office. Rafael was great. Very sweet. He doesn’t speak English but tries very hard to communicate with you. Always a smile on his face. I’m so glad I chose this option because I had a door to door service for all of my appointments. Never any waiting, whereas my RH mates who used transportation provided by the RH always had to go coordinate with each other and go together, which often resulted in waiting around for pick up. After my consultation, Dr Caputo actually decided to do a full 360 tummy tuck on me. I also got muscle repair, Breast Lift with augmentation. The procedure went better than expected. I stayed for 14 days post-surgery and had several post-op visits with Dr C. My recovery went smoothly and I communicated with Doc and Vanessa frequently. Vanessa even came to visit me at my recovery house. I really couldn’t have asked for better care. The entire team made this experience much less daunting then it could have been. If you’re looking for a doctor who cares about you and your safety. Will know your name every time you message him, before and after surgery, who has a team that will make sure everything goes smoothly, then Dr Derby Sang Caputo should be your choice.

I was very impressed with the friendly, knowledgeable doctor who completed my mommy makeover. The results are fantastic. Twelve years ago I had plastic surgery, and the scarring from this new procedure looks 100 times better just 8 weeks post-op. Everything was over in 5 hours. Quality of work done is superb. The doctor was so lovely and he answered all of my questions. He let me know what would happen also prepared me for the level of pain and any other eventualities. I stayed in the Dominican for 16 days (I went for follow-ups while I was there), and when I came back home, I could return to work part-time (I’m a bit of an exception to the rule in this regard!). The best part of this experience was being exposed to the many women who travel to see this doctor. Just being able to witness him change lives, was amazing. Every woman looks different, but he’s able to take their individual needs into account. He’s no cookie cutter doctor. What a skilled professional!
