Brazilian Butt Lift: Stories

I am 29yrs old 1 child 5'6 167 lbs

I have in interested in the BBL since about 4 or 5 years ago. I have a family member who went to an island off Venezuela to have implants and I was interested but never liked the idea of implants or butt shots so I started doing my own research. Originally I had my quote about 2 years ago with Dr. J but he became too rich for my blood although his work is uffff outstanding, my fiancee was amazedddd and hes against this lol. Anyway I really wanted to finance since I do not want the added stress of having to penny pinch and save on my own so I never considered leaving the country until I heard about Dr. Yily De Los Santos. Im Dominican and had an aunt die and a cousin almost die both during surgery so I was completely against it. I have a another aunt who went to Dr. Tajah and he is amazing but he couldnt give me what I want so I think I will be taking the first step and getting my quote from Yily!

would like to have my new body by nxt summer so we'll see!! love this site! good look to all you ladies out here! kissessss

Merry Christmas ladies!! Blessings to all of you and the loved ones. My xmas gift to u is my flappy gut and non existent butt lol sorryyyyy for the eye sore!!!

Hi ladies! Hope all of you had a wonderful holiday. I have my heart set on Dr. Yily for nxt year hopefully before the summer or even March but over the holidays my fiancee started backtracking on me......

He has 2 boys from a previous marriage, I have 1 girl and now he's saying he wants a child. My thing is do you know of anyone who has had kids after a procedure like this???? He says I can wait another year or two but im turning 30 in a few months!! 1. I dont want to be 30 something and pregnant and 2. I want my body NOW like right NOW if I had the money!! Its not fair......I want lipo only no tt and the fat transfer do you ladies think its ok to have kids after this procedure???

Pleaseeee any thoughts will be appreciated!!

Happy New Years ladiessss. Hope you all had an awesome new year. I had sent my pics over to Yily for a quote and was amazed when I got a response yesterday at 1pm. The price was good considering it includes 1 garment, pre op tests, cardiologist, anesthesiologist, and clinic costs. I asked how she received payments and about post op stay.

Now.....My fiancee has been getting on my nerves lately about not giving me any money towards my surgery...big woop I'll pay for this on my own and when he goes to grab my new ass or small waist I'll charge him a fee!!! What I have decided to do is join a "sociedad" lol I dont know what you call it in english but basically a group of ppl get together, everyone has a number and you pay a set amount per week until the end and when your number comes up you get paid. Its a way to save money for those that have trouble doing so.

Anyway I'm going to do that to finance my surgery. I hope I get a low number so I can just get it done early and just pay it off. I'll add the pics I sent to Yily later lol they'll be my Trick or Treat to you guys!! :P

Sorry ladiessss during my rant I didnt realize I didnt put how much!! Yily quoted me $3000 for my procedure.

Problem is I showed my mom Yily website and my previous choice Dr J website and now my mom wants me to go to Dr J............I dont know what to do because the price difference is sooooo high its ridiculous. She says its best to wait and save and get something that looks soo much better and she's scared for me to go to DR but idk. She couldnt believe her eyes when she saw Dr J's curves lol. I must say he is amazing but I'm kinda skeptical of the volume he achieves. I would like to look at patients at least a year post op. I may email him and ask for more info......

Ive been looking at some wish pics according to my size and what I honestly think is achievable. Im so excited and cant wait for this to happen!! I know a lot of bbl sistas arr getting done this month and nxt and I cant wait for their updates.

Want to which all of them a safe trip and healthy recovery

:( Just measured myself and its NOT at all what I expected Here it goes......

Im 5'6 37 35 42 and 162lbs someone shoot me!!

I really thought I had a like 31 32 waist.......::Digs back into her pork fried rice and shrimp lo mein::

well ladies my journey seems to be on hold :( Sunday I woke up and the left side of my face felt numb but I really didnt give it much thought since Ive been having numbness in my arm and leg too (quick back story I got a tick bite bite a while back)

anyway I spent over 15 hourssss at the ER a bunch of tests done including a contrast MRI and know Im on antivirals and steroids. FMLLLLL still have to wait for blood tests because there were special tests done that would not come back right away so now idk I have to concetrate on getting well now.....

side note (AND NOT LOOKING TO OFFEND ANY1) I was asked at the hospital why I hadnt seen a dr earlier and although i know that was my lapse of judgement honestly I never went because of lack of health insurance. I work HARD and although i must thank God for my fiancee who I honestly could not survive without i gotta say im frustrated that the govt does not help ppl like me I make about 350/w after taxes and they seem to believe this is enough for my daughter and I to live on!!!! where??? I get no health insurance, food stamps, child care NOTHING smh I'll leave it there bye ladies :( waiting on this hospital bill.....

Hi ladies.....so im on meds for the bell palsy and I just heard back from Yily and she feels I need to fully recover before proceeding with her. I love that shes actually worried and not pressuring me for my deposit or anything shows she has very good ethics. Im just frustrated because I wanted this for so long and its always something. first my fiancee then the money now this!! whats gonna come nxt!?!? idk I thought this was gonna happen for my 30th bday but now I doubt that.

anyway just venting. Good luck to all you ladies getting sx! happy healing.

Hi sisters, I wanted to do an update regarding post surgical care just because I read a lot of journals on here, Not just those for Yily and I see so many girls not factoring in recovery when planning for this surgery. Ladies pleaseee take into consideration that this is major surgery and if you have never gone through something like this you dont know how your body will react or how long you will need to recover. I wish all my sisters speedy and uncomplicated surgeries but we need to take time to properly heal.

I've read girls taking 2 or 3 days off and going back to school or work Monday morning. Which if your up to it AMEN! but how can you be sure??? I would like to ask that you ladies really sit down and take all these things into consideration before having this procedure done, Including lymphatic massages and draining, Real Self sister prettygirlslim did a great update on this!. Those going out of the country, whether its DR or Mexico, Sisters please accommodate into your schedules at the least 5-7 days to recover NEAR your ps. This way if there is any fluid build up or complications your doctor is there to help and address the situation. I dont know about Mexico but but in DR patients from outside of Dominican Republic must get an insurance in case of complications. Covers up to $ 15,000 dollars for 30 days, inside and outside of Dominican Republic.You could get it at the clinic where you are going to have your surgery. Costs from 150 to 200 dollars, which is not included on surgical´s fees. Please ask your ps about this!!!

I know a lot of girls decide on Mexico or DR because it is so much cheaper for the quality of work. Deals are always good but please dont skimp on recovery! Instead of staying at a hotel make every effort to stay at a legitimate recovery house where the staff is knowledgeable about post surgery handling and are able to care for you.

If any of you are considering going to DR and would like to ask any questions about what it is like over there and what to expect from people please feel free to message me or just comment. But I would like all of you, no matter where you are having your surgeries to please read this post and take what I have said into consideration.

Blessed day ladies!!

Ladies found this on the web about medications you should NOT take prior to surgery!!!

"Keep in mind that you will not be able to take Aspirin, or products that contain Aspirin ( Bufferin, Anacin, Excedrin, , Nuprin, Anaprox ,Advil, Ibuprofen) by 10 days before the surgery, as well as supplements l Echinacea, Melatonina, Gingko she-wolf, Yohimbe, Garlic, Gingseng, , Kava Kava, and Vitamin E. These medications act like an aspirin making the blood thinner.

Do not take birth control pills at least one week before your trip."

Really want to send in my deposit but I read WU cut her off.....ladies please share if u have heard from her re what she will do now thanx!!

Hey girlys so this is where I am now. My tests all came back and get this........There wasnt enuff blood to run all the tests.....(Insert dumb look here) I was seriously like huh? how does that happen? She then proceeds to BS me how 1 tube of blood sometimes isnt enough for all those tests. I agreed but I didnt have 1 tube removed BITCH I had 4!!! Anyway now I have to get re-tested......yea right and get another bill!? NO THANK YOU!

I decided to get a complete check up in DR when I go in March for my vacay. I'm also hoping to squeeze in a consult with Yily :) we'll see!

i'm going to take this time to get a little fit since it doesnt look like I'll be able to have my surgery by April which will be my 30th bday :(

Ive started cardio, mostly running on the treadmill and I'm going to star doing Zumba twice a week. I want to lose at least 10lbs for my bday im 5'6 and 159 now :) lost some weight. If I do need to regain anything I'll do it before my surgery, which will probably be for late August early September after those flights go down.

On another note I want to send out prayers and healthy vibes to all our Yily Dolls who have sx coming up!!!! Well wishes to all u ladies!!!

Hi Ladies, So my sx is postponed for now trying to get healthy and all, Im thinking a late September early October date right now so for those just starting their journeys welcome and you will see me for awhile ;) The reason I pushed it back so far is because im having everything lipoed!! arms thighs chin the whole enchilada!! and I seriously REFUSE to be wearing a HOTTT as* garment in the middle of summer long sleeves and all!! Hell to the effin NO!

Anyway in the meantime I'm taking Womens Ultra Mega Wellness pills from GNC ; I just ordered Amazing Grass Organic Wheat Grass Powder from Amazon. Oh and ladies those that bank with Citi I used my Thank You points to get an Amazon gift card worth $25 so it basically cost me like 3 bucks!
I'm also looking to get the Spilurina powder but I wanna see how it goes with the wheat grass first. I'm a very bad drinker :(

I also started getting my list together from Yily vets and those getting ready for sx now. So far I have

1. Colace
2. Fiber
3. Foam
4. Board ( A Yily vet mentioned she used a microfiber dish drying mat may try that)

I also plan on going to like Target or Marshalls and getting a cheap mattress cover they cost about $15 to put over the bed at JM I just think maybe some fluids penetrate the sheets and who knows how old those mattresses are.

Also ladies remember you need to have $10 American dollars for the tourist card you purchase when you get there!

On a side note my fiancee is the cutest ever!! lol he sends me pics of asses he likes and I laugh cause think about it ladies....this is the only time they can look at butts and we wont get mad lmaooo. I asked him is this what you do at work?? lol so cute!

So thats all for now!! Any questions lemme know I'm a full fledged Dominican so if any of you want to know what its like over or what to expect from locals etc lemme know either through pm or in the comments below :) I'm still learning everyday and I ask tons of questions so feel free to do the same!

Hi ladies! I hope all of you are doing well in your journeys. I wanted to do an update and just say a few things that were on my mind concerning how you decide on a PS

This is the most important part of your journey. Your are choosing the person who is responsible for your well being and essentially your life!! Therefore you should check this persons credentials to the full extent of your ability.

That being said I see so many sisters (excuse my wording if it offends anyone, not my intention) jumping on a Drs. bandwagon, scheduling and paying deposits and THEN asking questions like "Is this a scam" "Is he/she Accredited" "What board are they on" etc etc.

Ladies THIS IS SERIOUS SURGERY!! Again I do not wan to offend anyone but PLEASE no matter who you chose as your ps PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH.

This day in age everything is at your fingertips. Use technology to your advantage. Google!! See what degrees this person holds. If you are on their website confirm the info they have for the surgeon is legitimate; they will list the boards name right on there along with their license number and any accreditation's and affiliations they have. It really isnt that hard.

Of course this is a haven for all of us to communicate and support each other but take the time to do your homework outside of Real Self. Google your doctor, find out what board they belong to, where they completed their Plastic surgery residency etc. For those that chose a ps outside of the US you can still do your homework visit that particular countries website. A lot of popular Latin destination for surgery have a link you can visit to find info on Drs.

Please dont rely solely on whatever you read on here. Its irresponsible to put your life in the hands of a Dr you know nothing about. In previous posts I have said that I am willing to help some ladies out with the language barrier with Yily and I meant it. If you want me to translate something you want to ask or need help navigating her site I'm more than happy to help.

Hope everyone has a great week and Happy V-Day :)

Hey ladies forgot to add that I found this no rinse garment cleaner on Amazon it has good reviews. I posted a pic of one made by Squeem but there are other brands. You just mix it with water and put on a damp cloth and just clean ur garment. It supposed to help the garment keep its shape and elasticity. Check it out!

Hi ladies I see a lot of Yily Dolls are in the making!! Want to wish all the ladies on RS not just the Yily Dolls a safe sx and speedy recovery! I think we should all take a little time in our day or even before going to bed to ask God to watch over these ladies; just how we would want someone to do for us!!

My sx wont be for a few months (sep or oct) so im looking into getting some other work done like dental and laser hair removal lol I found 2 Derms on Realself and have sent in my info for a consultation. I also found a place on Yelp but if any of you ladies have gotten laser done lemme go cause there doesnt seem to be much movement on that thread!

I have been around but refused to update or comment cause of the craziness that was going on on RS smh really was a damn shame...

Anywhooooo sooooo I went to the dentist and will be getting braces soon :D I'm excited! lol

My Bells Palsy is under control and my aunt and I went to get some acupuncture done in Queens which I must say is kinda relaxing.....My mouth is a little bent and I feel a bit self conscious when I talk to people cause its very noticeable but it is what it is! def not stressing!

I still havent chosen a date but I know it will probably be October since flights will be low and I can wear my garment with no problems during our NY winters :)

Best wishes to all u Yily Dolls out there!!!

Hi ladies so now that more girls have actually GONE to Yily there are more reviews and of course more unhappiness. There are a lot of reasons why this is happening but im only going to address a few.

1. Most ( I DID NOT SAY ALL) are choosing to see a dr outside of the US for one reason only and that is $$$. While you may think you are saving money please realize that you are LEAVING the country. Things are just not done or handled in the same manner over there as they are in the US. The after care may not be as ur accustomed, heck nothing really is! If you have never traveled outside of ur comfort zone I would NOT recommend doing so for sx...IMO

2. Most are not researching their elective procedure enough and hence have NO IDEA what can go wrong.....(PLEASE VISIT PETITEMAMI BLOG)

3. Most are not researching their PS enough or in the correct manner. Just cause you saw some nice pics on RS, MMH or some other website that does not mean this is the right Dr for you! Those nice pics should just fuel ur desire to want to learn more about that Dr.

4. Unrealistic expectations....some of us have wish pics which in no way resemble anything plausible on our current body type and frame.

5. No pre-op care (Vitamins etc) No time dedicated to healing and Post op care. (SEE PREVIOUS POSTS ON MY BLOG)

I have seen all the recent reviews on Yily, my heart goes out to u ladies that have experienced complications or just unhappy with ur results, but that has not changed my mind. Its not because I dont believe them or I think it cant happen to me but because I do, and I know it can! I realize there can be complications but I have seriously researched this up the wazoo. I have a clear head going into this and will be at peace with my results. If you have ANY inkling whatsoever or any little voice in ur head doubting ur choice DONT DO IT. I'm not saying something is going to happen I am just saying that something this serious should be done with all ur heart and mind. You should not be having second thoughts about ur Dr. You can be nervous yes or even be getting cold feet but it shouldnt have to do with lack of an informed choice.

So yes I am still #TeamYily and when I am ready for my surgery I will be on my way to see her.

Disclaimer: I am not bashing anyone, throwing subliminals , or taking away from anyones experience. If you have followed my blog or seen my comments on ppls pages you know I do not partake in drama. I have no time for it, I have too much going on as it is so please dont bring it to my page...

Thanks!

Hey ladies so RS reminded me I havent updated in a month so here I am! I have all my money saved and I went ahead and put it into a CD so I can at least make some interest since I wont be having sx till October. Its also my birthday this week so festivities have been high!! We went to a spot out in Dyckman smh if you're from NYC I'm sure you smh'ing also lol I thought I had just walked into a 2 Chains video!! There was Booty booty booty booty rocking everywhere!! My boo kept whispering in my ear how I was still the most beautiful girl in the room.....*igga please!! I def did not wanna hear that!! I appreciate him keeping eyes on me all night but damnnn I was staring more than the men!

Which brings me to my next point. I was debating on doing the arms since I read a lot of reviews where girls were VERY thankful they still had use of their arms BUT my boo, his brother and I would all comment how some of the girls looked "done" they had tiny waist, fat butts and huge arms...Since I do want to look natural and proportionate I will def be doing my arms. A few looked weird having nice waists, flat tummy and then the big arms we didnt like it.

So for my actual Birthday I was seriously thinking of having a huge bash at a lounge but instead I'm just gonna go away somewhere for the weekend and then have a girls night with my ladies the following week :) I plan on being 29 *cough* 30 *cough* a few more times so whatever. Since I cancelled my bash my babe gave me extra sx spending money, a LV bag and my first pair of red bottoms so I think I won!

Anyway my mom is thinking of having some work done also so I may treat her to some lipo if all goes well with my taxes, I STILL HAVENT RECEIVED MY MONEY!! if not I may ask my brother to chip in and get her something done my mom is the best and I would do anything for her! :) I was going to stay at a recovery house since my fam isnt from the Capital but my aunt ( by marriage) offered to go with me and take care of me, she has a huge house in the capital and has cared for nieces of hers that have had work done so I'll be good.

Well thats all for now, just looking at all the brand new Yily dolls in awe :) all of you look great!

Sooo I need to vent!!! Went shopping this past weekend at the outlet mall and almost spazzed out!! I havent been weighing myself purposely because I do not want to obsess but I was having a hard time. I wanted to be positive and say it was because of the brand; they were Hudson and Paper Denim oh and 1 Jbrand jean but seriously though I'm Dominican I have HIPSSS none of them went up my thighs I ended up buying the J Brand jeans in a size 31 so now I have a huge gap in my waist and have to put my belt xtra tight for them to look decent! I cant wait for October these will be the longest 5ish months of my lifeeeee

Anyway good luck ladies!! All of you!! I cant wait to read more reviews :)
