Getting a tummy tuck to get rid of my stretch marks on my stomach - Yily De Los Santos - Dominican Republic, DO

ORIGINAL POST

Hey everybody... First I have to say THANK GOD for...

Kisses1986
WORTH IT$3,100

Hey everybody... First I have to say THANK GOD for this website lol... I will be going to yily on 2/18 for lipo and bbl she quoted me 3,000 I asked her about a tummy tuck and she told me it would be $700 more however I have not seen anybody post any photos after getting a tummy tuck with her and the photos on her site from what I saw it seems like the scar is a little high and would be difficult to cover with underwear or swimwear... Anyways I'm super excited but I must admit I'm scared to death because I will be going alone :-( I do have family over there and my cousin will be taking care of me but it isn't the same being that I haven't been to DR in almost 16years.. If anybody else is going at the same time please let me know :-) and if anybody has any tips for me that has already been to yily please let me know

Congrats on taking the big step of going. Looking at her Tummy Tuck work it seems good considering others i have seen on some doctors pages that are horrific. I had a tummy tuck prior to the surgery i going for now which is lipo. I suggest you tell her you want the thinnest line possible an closets to your va-jay jay. Your recovery must also be very very very careful in not stretching your skin in that area. try your hardest to never be in a full standing position. this will help you heal in a way your scar is thin an minimal. Also make sure you take a Marble with you so you can place that in your belly button once your belly button has healed it will help shape your belly button naturally. The pain i will tell you from my experience going on my 3rd surgery was WOW. I had lip done at 22 an after my child got a tummy tuck an lipo again 6yrs later. It was painful but worth it. I am going back a year after my tummy tuck an lipo because i feel my doctor did not do a good job at giving my waist the contour he could have. He did it before.......yily seems to give a nice shaply outcome. I am very satisfied with my tummy tuck though. Scar an location an most importantly belly button. After care is very important. Also make sure they have AC. You dont want to wear a faja (compression garmet) with no ac in DR heat. Helll noooo

Thank you for the information... How does the marble work? How long after surgery do I have to start using it?
January 10, 2013
Are you going to yily as well? If so what are you getting done??? I'm super excited 2 but I kind of want it to be over already lol

If your getting a tummy tuck you get a new belly button once your belly button has dryed an healed. Give you a marble shape belly button really nice looking.

Hello Im going to Yily also. Im nervous and ready for it too be over also. To ease your mind people die from elective surgery everywhere not just DR. Most of the time its because ppl leave their country and go to other countries when they have not been cleared by their pcp and the come and tell the other doctors whatever to get their surgery. Also there us risk of PE which is blood clot but Yily does give you a medication that does help prevent this but the key is to move and walk a little to get the blood circulating again. You will be fine! Hope this helps
January 18, 2013
Also some people that have complications are the ones that dont stay at the recovery house, you should consider staying there.

Thank you so Much

My original surger date was for April 29 but I just emailed Dr. Yily to see if I can move my surgery to mid Feb. Hopefully she gets back to me soon. I'm also looking for a buddy at the JM Spa.

Hey girl u have a really nice shape already. I was also thinking about a tt but I may want more kids in the future and we don't know how our bodies will act. I've seen really good results with girls just getting aand having stretch marks. Dr Yily is really good at sculpting. I saw her befores and afters and I didn't care fore her tt's, I think herr tt pictures are altered. But her lipo is excellent. Good luck on your journey and stay positive.
