Brazilian Butt Lift: Stories

Hello All Yes 2 Yily Ladies

I'm 43 years old, 5'6 feet tall, 163 lbs and I have decided my bday/anniversary gift from my bf will be to get a long awaited Butt.... Yeah!!! I've researched a few Docs and stumbled upon this site last year. I started my search again this year on a whim and I like Doc. Jimerson in ATL. However, I didn't like the holes left in the all over the butt in his patients. Then I looked in my area DC and I found Dr., Haiiki, but the price is out of my range 10k , and their is another Dr. in Baltimore Maryland Dr. Ricardo L. Rodriquez, and his price was also out of my range 10k.

I read the reviews for Dr. Yilly and viewed her work and decided to contact her on Feb., 7 to request a BBL, Lipo of Chin, Abdomen, Flanks, Thighs. I would like fat transferred to my hip, butt, breast, labial folds (area on both sides of nose, I currently get Juvederm Ultra 2x a year for this area)

Dr. Yily responded with a price of $3k for everything but the chin $150. and Thigh $250., and $250. for medications (vitamins, pain meds, antibiotics, anti coagulant cream and shots (prevent blood clots). Housing options $90 per day includes transportation to and from airport, 24 hours nurse, wifi and 3 meals a day. 1 day is included in the 3K price. I've decided to stay for 3 days at the Spa, b/c I want nurses available in case of emergency. Then I will move to another hotel for the remainder of the time (5 days). I've read that the lymphatic massages are helpful and plan to get these while in Santo Domingo and once I return to DC.

I emailed her my date request May 20., 2013 and I am waiting for confirmation of this date so I can send $500.00 deposit via pay pal and book my flight.
Very Excited to get a life long wish come true.....
I will keep ya'll updated.

 

Updated on 25 Feb 2013:

May 20., is my DATE!!!! Confirmed today!! Gonna book flight and pay deposit tonight.

 

Updated on 26 Feb 2013:
Received a email from Yily's, assistant last night requesting photos of my bf, b/c he wants to get some liposuction the same day while we are in Santo Domingo. I asked if he is allowed to stay in the same recovery house. I haven't heard of any men staying in the recovery house, but then again I don't know any men getting BBL's... Ha!

Asked her to send price quote for my bf liposuction and confirm the pay pal information before I send the money.

 

I'm sooo excited! Next thing on the agenda is to book my flight. I'm still waiting to hear back from her assistant about my bf getting his mid section suck out... LOL..... Its cute we will recover together.... We've decided to go to Punta Cana for 5 days and chill on the beach, get surgery and stay 8-10 days at Jacquelines.
Gonna book flights this weekend! Awww shit its ON!

*****STRETCH MARKS*****
I worked hard not get stretch marks when I had my daughter 23 years ago and I was successful. I see some of the women after their BBL and they have stretch marks GALORE!!! Gosh, I don't want that those things

***** VITAMINS******
Researching the best pace to purchase high quality vitamins. I wanna start as soon taking the vitamins. Hoping this will helps me heal quickly....

*****COMPRESSION GARMENTS******
Based on LBP and Petitemami I've decided I will be going with a faja #12172 http://www.misfajas.com/altacompresion. I'm trying not to purchase before my surgery, and I'm thinking, just thinking that if I get a large and a medium hopefully the medium will fit and I can sell the large.... I lack patience....

*******Changing May 20 to June UGH WTF******
Ok, so after speaking to my boss, bf and Yira we come up with May 20th date.... Cool... Then I speak to bf on Sunday and he says his daughter's 8th grade promotion is on May 23., and we can't be in two places at one time, so the date has to change..... So I immediately reach out to a few women on her to switch dates, I mean who wouldn't want an earlier date? I also sent an email and vm to yira requesting a June 6., date. Last night Yily Yes Mate "sasha30" offered me her June 12th date, I countered her offer with my May 20th date and "sasha30" was SOOO GODDAMN Happy she offered me her KiDZ.... LMBAO.... "sasha30" don't mess around... She got da dates changed this morning... YOU BETTA Work Gurl.... Nothing comes between and girl and a Early Yily Date...... Awwwwwww.... Loving Real Self and da Gurls....

******BOOKING FLIGHTS & PUTTING IN NEW VACATION DATE*******
Thankfully, I didn't book my flight yet, so I will be doing that this week and sending my boss a request for June 10-28 off.... Yeah... We will Fly into Punta Cana to vacation before the surgery "The Reserve at Paradisus Palace". We will order a car to drive us to Santo Domingo $170.00 for the surgery and remain at the Medi Spa for a total of 8 days, then back home to DC....

*******Me at 168 I can't stand it Bthrm Pic********
So I just took updated Bthrm pics. In mortified! Why is the lighting so goddamn harsh at 43 years old. Goddamn. SMDH. Anyway I can't wait to get back down to 155. Omfg. I look like a stuffed TERD. All for da BBL. Short term misery for long term Joy.

******* Date Changed from May 20 to June 12 to June 6 ********
I got confirmation email from Yira, last week about coming June 6th., Next move make arrangements at Jacquelines...

*******Yily Getting Bad Reviews ********
I know she will give me a butt and shape, and then I think I don't want it to be to small since its a once in a lifetime thing for me. Although my bf says I'm sure there will be revisions. And he will be paying for them just like he is paying for this procedure....

I also do not want a big ass ASS.... That ain't me and I want more than a lil bump and I know Yily, can do that no problem.

I did check with Duran about giving my bf lipo cause I couldn't get him into Yily and his lipo was $3300.00 which I felt was alot. She is very nice and a lil flirty which matches my personality, but I know she is getting attention b/c Yily is getting all the work... Duran, can respond in 48 hours if she aint doing HELLA procedures. Also, I don't see any of her gurls post op results and most are going in the mid or late summer.... So who knows. (Duran Dolls Don't Hate) U know I speak da truth...Wink : )

I think alot of the women are not saying the truth, they picked DR b/c of the price and they knew the doctors in DR aint doing Jimerson, Salama, Okoro, Pantoja projection bootys.... Those doctors want 6500-11000 and we don't want to pay that price.

I also, know when you have wanted an ass since you were 11 years old, it's hard to be satisfied with anything you get.... I've seen some girls w/huge asses and going back for round 2... So I'm trying to keep that in mind.... When I got my breast reduction I didn't care what I looked like I just wanted them gone and I'm in love with them. However the girls who want implants are never satisfied b/c they have in their mind the perfect breast and that impossible to get. I have not seen many women who got their bbl wish pic even with the top doctors... IJS

I'm going to get my butt done in DR and pray for the best...That extra 4k-5K to go to one of the Doctors I mentioned above, will be spent on buying my Vespa so I can show off my ass in the summer riding around DC...

*****Please Get Insurance and Travel Information from Our Embassy in DR****
Ladies, be fully informed about DR through our local Embassy. They are there to guide, protect and inform us when traveling out of the U.S.
Below, is a link to our Embassy's page on Medical Emergencies while in DR.
http://santodomingo.usembassy.gov/medical_assistance-e.html
I reviewed this before contacting Yily... They have a wealth of information and vetted insurance companies we should use. I will be getting insurance from one of the suggested companies...

***** Mentally Prepared *****
REAL SELF is an excellent support for all of US and I'm so glad to have you all to answer my questions, laugh and share my joy... My family and bf FULLY SUPPORT ALL my choice... I know this is not the case for many and I'm BLESSED to have them in my corner.

I have mentally prepared for the worst... I have since the beginning. I think of my age, I smoke last two years (sx is giving me the push I need to quit), blood clots and dying instantly, dying on the plane, having bad blood (Although I investigated this thru our Embassy and they DO Not say DR blood is bad and DO Not Warn against using it they have a 0.9% HIV/AIDS rate) And prevent American's from donating blood b/c of our extremely high rate of HIV/AIDS), I reviewed insurance b/c I didn't want to pay $250.00 for insurance in DR and used the insurance companies sanctioned by the US Embassy and they have a lot of options like all your bills being paid there for emergency care, flying a family member in to stay with you, arranging for air lift to the US, compensation for being delayed to work due to medical emergency and repatriation of my body to the US) and repatriation of my body to the US if I die. Once I make the decision I investigated all the options and set up all the precautions I can possibly take just as I would in the US... My Mom's a Hypochondriac so she's been dying for the last 43 years and aint dead yet, so I have a somewhat morbid mind.... Ha!

I remember putting my life on the line to have my daughter and I didn't even want her at the time... Now I can't imagine life without her, but there is no guarantee in any surgery or procedure we will get off that table...I'm choosing to go ahead with my bbl and get a healthy as possible before getting there, I have cut down on smoking, started to run again to increase lung capacity, taking vitamins and making sure none of medications will negatively impact my surgery...

****** Things to Consider about YILY before you Decide ********

You know when reading all the reviews 5 months ago till today. I read on other blogs from the women Superflygurl LittleBoyPink Ensure Addict NYblackbeauty with great results complaints about Yily, not understanding peoples request, the office being very busy, maybe needing more staff for the volume, the RH overbooking, imperfections in her work, not having the correct size faja's on hand, wait times, slow response time, no bedside manner, 1 infection, no gloves during surgery, not changing her scrubs with each surgery. What I was looking for was gross negligence (deaths, tainted blood, near death experience, ambulance, medi-vac losing a limb, etc...) Most of these complaints have been with all the Dr.'s, so I see it is par for course in US and out of US... but I concentrated on I just want everyone who doesn't get around to reading every blog to understand the concerns others have voiced on RS. Yily the last 5 months b/c I liked her natural shape. Yily is Minz and I am Yily's.

*******Please add your Surgery Dates to the Real Self Surgery Calendar*******
I love RS, Once you confirm please get your information added to the "Upcoming BBL Upcoming Surgery Dates for Real Self"

******* Translation Apps ********
I highly suggest research translation apps to download onto your phone to minimize the language barrier. I have an Iphone and use iTranslate...

******** BF Leaning ON Me about My YILY ********
BF, is paying so he has some concerns and wants the best outcome for me from the surgery.... That said, if it's btwn Yily or Dr. D or him not paying for it, it will be Dr. D... Ugh... We will See...

****** Can't Nothing Make Me Mad ******
Anytime I get a lil bit annoyed, I just say... Gurl, you getting an ASS.... Voila Instant JOY... Ha!

*********Pre Surgical Consult**********
I've been going to Georgetown University Hospital for over 25 years and I called to get my last blood results which they say I had in April 2011... I already have an appointment with my Dr., May 7., to get testing done, however the nurse says I should go to a Pre Surgical Consult... ???? So this is a team of doctors at Georgetown formed to meet with patients in my situation... So I now I have a May 6., appointment with them and I have given them Yily's name and phone number. They want her fax number and I couldn't find on the confirmation email so I have sent Yily a email letting her know Georgetown will be calling her for this information... I'm really concerned as I was anemic in 2010-2011 before I had a fibroid removed, so I need to know my Hemaglobin levels... But anyway I will continue taking iron pills and eating iron rich foods b/c this is the only thing that I think will be a problem for me....

**********TURNED ALL DA WAY UP AT 44**********
Ok I turned 44 on March 26., and I need to keep it honest on here I'm no longer 43... I'm 44 and Holding.....

********************A Banking OPTION IN DR*************************

**********Rolling Pin for Massage****************
I have a Man Tamer BKA Rolling Pin at home and researched and some doctors say to use it and some say their patients use a rolling pin to help massage and move fluid and hard spots... WTF I'll give it a try...

***************Plane Tix/Housing************************
Will purchase tix next week and decide on housing next week...

**************Plastic Surgery Team Appt Today******************
So I arrived late to my appointment wtf was I thinking... They saw me anyway... My EKG was good... They say I have slow heart beat anything below 60 is not ideal. I'm 55, they say it's because I work out (which I hardly every do and something to do w/me sleeping alot which I DO). The senior surgeon came in and we discussed the surgery and he was blown away about me getting fat injected in my Ass and wanted to see me when I came back from my trip... Me thinks he liked Chocolate... Ha! They give me order for my blood work. (Hemo, Sugar, Cholesterol) I pay my $20 and make a appointment for June 17th for my follow up visit. I went down stairs to get blood work and chatted up a older gentleman about 60 and comes my nipple in height... We both had blood drawn at the same time the conversation ranged from cars, traffic, how starbucks got kids addicted to coffee, how coffee drinking was for older adults not children (in my time) and then I excused myself to get da needle... I asked my Needle Poker was she Ready to Inflict Pain Upon Me and she Readily said Yes w/a sense of authority sorta like a Mistress (S&M)... Stick w/me its just da mind of Ms. Gray... So the guy comes in and gets his blood drawn across from me I try not to notice his tiny feet do not meet the ground and continue talking to My Mistress of Pain... He bends across the divide and gives me his number on a piece of paper and mouths "call me".... Oooohhhhhh How very Nostalgic... I immediately flashed back to the 80-90's where you wrote on pieces of paper, used your house phone, then your pager, then the pay phone, then the cell phone... Just is that order... Wow, this hasn't happened in a very long time... I said Thank you, and gingerly tucked the number into the side pocket of my purse, while the Mistress tied me off and I released the hard angel fish tub toy she'd given me to make a nice fat juicy vein...As the wide blue rubber band was released a cotton ball replaced the needle and two pieces of tape where adhered to my skin and hair.... WTF happened to Band Aids... I stood up said my good byes to the Mistress and Man and headed to work... Tomorrow I met with my PCP and will discuss pain medication.

***********************Housing*******************************
Big and I will check into the Jr. Suites at Hotel Del So.... Now hear me OUT... I heard the HOTEL is not good, but they have these Jr. Suites full of Ikea furniture and upgraded appliances and I emailed them to make sure my room will look just like the photo and they confirmed so I booked for one night... Big will stay at Cipla w/me on June 6th overnight, then we will move to another place on airbnb titled "The Perfect Stay" from June 7-10., I'm waiting for the payment to be confirmed. I haven't decided where we will go from June 11-16, I will wait to hear from LITM about her hotel, b/c I wanna stay on the beach but near the city....

******************Dentist*******************
I want to get my teeth cleaned, some filling and whitened while I'm there and have asked for a quote from mommy_to_7 dentist Jose Alonso, and waiting to hear back from him on a date and the cost... I would like to get it done on June 5th.

***************************PCP Update*****************************
Met with my PCP today to review my labs and discuss pain medication. She greeted me with a warm broad smile and long embrace.. I love dat women. She is very happy for me to be going out of the US for the surgery.

Hemo 12.8 (This was my biggest concern b/c I have been anemic in the past) I spoke to her about things to do to increase my number she said getting Womens One a Day Vitamin and/or Iron Pills. I've been taking Iron pills since last month. I want my levels to get as far up as possible. All my other labs were good.

My doctor called Yily's office a few times to no avail, so she can discuss procedure and medication management... She agrees that its safer to take meds from the U.S. I asked for Flexirill a muscle relaxant.

Got in to Punta Cana and Julio Brito (littleinthemiddle) driver picked me up. He had a sign with my name on it and urrythang! I love when ppl realize just how Special I Am! Ha! YOU MUST use him as your driver! He's in Whatsapp. And HIGHLY fucking recommended by MOI. He drove me 2 hours I Santo Domingo we stopped for a couple hours in Boca Chica and ate fresh fish on da Beach my treat b/c he really is a sweet guy. He drove me to several places and dropped me off 6 hours after picking me up.

That's all I got for now I'm sticky and need a shower and some sleep.

So I was just to tired to go to a 9:00am appointment so I emailed Baez and let her know I couldn't make it today.

**** Visited 3 Yily Dolls 2Day*******
I visited chocolatedrops lovemeorleaveme and another Gurl who isn't on RS. They all were recovering nicely although they say the pain was unbearable and I made them hurt more from laughing. Ha! There waist were small and they were all happy with their TT and BBL. We had a home cooked meal of chicken fresh salad fried plantains and I brought Tres Leches for dessert. We chatted and I left for my next stop.

************Duran Gurl*************
Stopped by the Barcelo hotel which is really nice just for the record. Met up with a Duran girl who goes in tomorrow morning and just laughed and talked butts and hips for a hour or so then I headed home. I contacted my driver Jose Brito to pick her up in the am to get her surgery. Ill stop by Cipla tomorrow to see her and make some other inquiries.

I've been in contact with a few other Gurls I hope to meet up with before and after their surgeries. As you can see I'm quite da social butterfly.

Thanking God for RS Mmbrs I Love Ya'Loving Life.

I went to see Cabral for a consultation instead of Baez. I figured I might as well go with one of the best BBL surgeons outside the US. He owns Cipla and has the 5th floor to himself. He had a staff 5 his office could seat 25 people and decorated in a contemporary style.

He had English speaking staff Maria Isabel is his office manager. She gathered all my info $45 consultation fee at the desk. DR. Cabral breezes thru a few times speaking with patients bad staff with ease in the waiting room.

He call me back to his office which is big as the front office and very comfortable. I compliment his talent he compliments my age then my dress comes off. He pinches my fat we agree BBL Chin Thigh and arm Lipo $4k I have to talk to him about fat in my face and pastry tomorrow.

I find out garment blood work and meds are not included. Ugh more money. But I'm good I believe I'm in good hands and my mind is made up and appreciate all the support RS Mmbrs have given me thru this process.

I will have surgery on June 7th! Yeah..


****************Visiting Dolls***********
Met up with Brown Betty Boop and went to see a Duran Doll after her surgery. Then BBB & I headed over to her hotel to meet up with here buddy and her buddy Mama. We chit chatted took some pics and I heard over to Cipla to see Raquelgg. Awwwwwwww she so LIL and young traveling with her Abuela. Since I got there past midnight they didn't want to let me in but they relented and I got to see baby Gurl. She was in pain and unable to keep anything down when she got out of surgery but the last 20 minutes she held down some sprite after given anti nausea meds via IV. We chatted I rolled her over tool pics of he butt and breast for her to post at will.

Then stopped by McDonalds got a salad and small fry. I have no appetite ugh really it's just gone.

We headed to clinic to get nurse for BBB has low hemo and needs a nurse to give her an IV for 5 days. Then we walk and check out a few stores but the clothes are so poorly made. Then we walk to grocery store catch a cab back to !Barcelo and chat with her BBB buddy and her buddy mother. BBB I leave to visit with Raquelgg and shot da shit with her for an hour shit it's almost 10 o'clock I've been waking around in a bikini and cover up all day and did even see da pool.
