Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

OMG only 6 days left
Less than a week to go. I can not express my level of excitement. Went to my pcp today for my final checkup. Hemo is 14.1 yea yea yea. He also gave me a script for everything on the list and more. It has been a great day!
Thanks realSelf what would I do without you.
Only eight days left until I become a Yily doll. Big Daddy is no longer the supportive husband but instead he has become insecure and thinks I’m planning on leaving him once I’m transformed…this has caused multiple arguments. I am really sad and feel like he is stealing my joy. I have spent the last three months preparing my home as well as my business to run smoothly in my absence. Most importantly I have prepared my body and I’m not about to get high blood pressure over some [RS bleep] so I have made some adjustments to my travel plans. Instead of departing Monday, February 10th , I will be departing Friday night, February 7th , alone. I will have a few days to relax on the beach and get my head right before Big daddy joins me on Monday the day before my sx. Hopefully the three day separation will calm things down. Thanks to the vets who have included similar experiences in their reviews I felt somewhat prepared for the [RS bleep]. Thanks realSelf what would I do without you.
Hello Ladies…thanks so very much to all the vets...
Hello Ladies…thanks so very much to all the vets that have paved the way. Because of your detailed reviews I have been able to make informed decision on my transformation journey. The most important one being my choice of surgeons…I have chosen Dra Yily.I am married and a mother of 2 fabulous children, my son 20 & my baby girl 17. I am very happy to say that after I got their heads right when I first made this decision they have been very supportive. I can only imagine what they will say when they see my flat ass snatched with a bootay. My husband and my children will be with me in DR.For the past 20 years I’ve been taking care of everyone but me. My weight has fluctuated from 160 to as much as 220. Currently I am 5’3 weighing 169 lbs and I hope to be closer to 160 by my sx date. Before nursing my children my boobs were one of my best features but they have since gone south. Never had any ass at all and my stomach, well it’s a beast of its own. I am getting a Tummy Tuck, Liposuction of the abdomen, full back, armpits, flanks and waist, Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) via fat grafting to the buttock and a Breast Lift provided my hemo level supports all of that. My journey began last September. I had consulted a few times in the past with doctors in NJ but never really connected with any of them plus their pricing was ridiculous and no one offered body sculpting. I remember reading an article while waiting in one of the local plastic surgeons waiting room about a technique that gave women an hour glass figure however no one here was dong it and if they were it would have been way too expensive. Just to get tummy tuck without lipo could be as much as $17,000.In September a friend of mine told me she was going to Florida for a lil work. I was immediately interested and wanted to go as well especially when I learned the price is different state to state. I asked my husband what he thought and he was very supportive but insisted that I do my research…that’s when I found RealSelf. It didn’t take long before I new my transformation would take place in DR with the help of the skilled Dra Yily. I emailed her through the RealSelf web site and she responded within a few days. It seems she responds to her emails on Sundays.Thank you for contacting the office of Dra. Yily de los Santos.

Select the date you would like to have surgery. We recommend you plan your date accordingly, allowing yourself to remain in the country for two weeks. If you cannot stay two weeks, you must stay for minimum of 15 days so we can guarantee that you leave out of risk. Please take into account the procedures you want to have. The more procedures you have, the longer you should stay. In order to confirm and guarantee your surgery date, you must secure your date with a MINIMUM deposit of $500 (NON-REFUNDABLE). A deposit is required as a show of good faith that you are serious about having surgery. In the past we have scheduled patients for surgery who did not show up. We apologize we cannot guarantee a surgery date without a deposit. Verbal confirmation a date is available for surgery does not guarantee you that date. Surgeries are scheduled on first come basis when the deposit is made. Once your deposit is made please send me an email with a photo attached of the deposit slip receipt. The deposit date and amount must be visible. I will respond to your email confirming your date is guaranteed. You must retain the deposit receipt and present it the day of surgery to receive credit for the deposit, if you don’t bring it I won’t be able to deduct it from your quote)
Confirming Your Date:
Once your deposit is made, snap a picture of the deposit slip. Send an email to DraYilyPlastica@gmail.com with the picture of the deposit slip receipt attached and the following info:
• Subject: DEPOSIT MADE – CONFIRM DATE FOR (YOUR NAME)
• Full name
• Phone or cell phone number
• Day of the surgery
• Place where you will be staying at
• Flight information (airline, flight number, date and time)
• Quote and procedures
• Confirmation number of the deposit & account number (photo)
Payment Forms:
The balance of your surgery must be paid prior to your surgery. You can pay the morning of your surgery at the clinic. I only accept cash. You may pay in US dollars or Dominican pesos. I don’t accept financing, credit card, care credit, money orders, bank check or personal checks.
About the procedures:
The day of surgery
You have to fast the day of surgery so don't eat or drink anything but water. You have to be in the clinic at 7 am, you’ll have the test done, the consultation with me and then the surgery. One of my assistant will be with me to translate and for a better communication.
After surgery
I will give you instructions and recommendations for your recovery. You will stay 1 night in the clinic. You have to wear the garment for 3 months and can’t spend more than 45 minutes a day without it during these months.
Anesthesia
We usually use continuous epidural block. Although some patients prefer general anesthesia, it is at the discretion of the anesthesiologist. He is a trusted professional and knows what anesthesia is the best for each patient.
Breast Augmentation
The implants are placed under the muscle. The stitches are absorbable; they do not need to be removed. I do not transfer fat to breast because of the issue of breast cancer.
Tummy tuck
The tummy tuck scar/incision is 4cm from the pubic line. I use stitches that dissolve, so they do not have to be removed. I cannot tell you how many inches your waist will be reduced as that is dependent on your diastasis and the separation of your muscles. This will be determined during surgery. You will have a drain after surgery that will collect excess fluid. This drain will be removed in 7-14 days, depending on your recovery. Please note it is recommended you wait at least 1 year to get pregnant after having this procedure.
BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift)
This procedure entails grafting fat from other areas of your body and injecting it into your buttocks. I cannot determine how much fat I can graft before surgery. The amount of fat injected in the buttocks will depend on how much fat your buttocks can accept and your hip size. The fat will be injected in all directions as long as it does not compress the sciatic nerve. Too much fat injected in the buttocks can cause necrosis or form abscesses. This mainly occurs when the patient does not have proper post-op care. After having a BBL you CAN sit on your butt and sleep on your back.
Important notice about BBLs: Most of the butts in the “wish pics” that some of my patients send me are made of PMMA. I do not use PMMA. I solely do fat grafting and inject the fat in the buttock. I will always try to give my patients their desired results, but we have to be aware that there are limits when injecting fat.
My Portfolio:
Please note I cannot send pictures of previous patients as it is a violation of patient confidentiality.
