I have been researching like crazy trying to find a surgeon in the Bay Area whose work I like but it seems like all the photos I like are from surgeons on the East Coast or South East. Can anyone recommend someone in the San Francisco area? I have a consultation scheduled in May with Dr. Ghavami in Beverly Hills but he seems a bit pricey and Iam also REALLY considering Dr. Yily in the DR. I want to have this done by October the latest. So any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

I WOULD REFER DR KENNETH HUGHES TO U IN SAN DIEGO. HE IS THE DR. JIMERSON ON THE WEST COAST AND HIS WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. HE IS EXCELLENT WITH HIS CRAFT. CHECK OUT HIS WEBSITE AND HE ISN'T THAT EXPENSIVE.

I had surgery with Dr. Yily in the DR on March 14. Will put up pics and review over the next two days. I picked Yily because of how she sculpts. The only doctor I found that did Large Volume Lipo, like Yily, in the US was Dr. S. Sean Younai in Los Angeles. However Yily's prices will be way lower.

She really is my #1 choice but my nerves are starting to get the better of me. Iam scared going to a country where I don't speak the language, and worried about something going wrong and being by myself. . blah blah blah. When you get a chance can you tell me of youre overall experience. I received my second email from Yily giving me her account number, places to stay, choosing a date, etc; so it's all on me now.

Completely understand. I kept thinking that I was going to die in this foreign country. LOL! But I didn't find another doctor whose patients had that waist (I've never had a waist). I was motivated because I kept thinking I know she would do good work on me. Because her prices are low compared to any quote received in the US I paid a friend that speaks Spanish to go with me. She actually lives in LA and we left from the east coast to the DR. I posted some pics and a short review last night. They said it will be posted in 1 business day which is Monday. If you go you should take some one and if they don't speak Spanish bring a translation App on your phone or laptop. I suffer from Anxiety so I had my Xanax. Must say I didn't use it that much. If after reading the review you have any questions let me know. I learned so much from people on this blog so I went prepared. I can say that the results was worth it for me, but whether you have surgery done here or there this is major surgery so be prepared for a long recovery.

My Dr., Elizabeth Morgan, did large volume lipo on me. She took out 7400 ccs at once. My procedure was done at a hospital and I stayed overnight for monitoring. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Circular Belt Lipectomy??

I have just received a few quotes from Dr.s about lipo on my arms,back stomach and thighs and a bbl. One of the Dr.'s strongly suggested I get a circular belt lipectomy. Since I didnt know what that was I looked it up and I'm not sure if I really need that. I do plan on having the surgery in August/September and will be losing another 15lbs before I get the surgery. I currently weight 170lbs and 5'4. Since I'am not a Dr. I wanted to get other opionions. Also if I do need to get that done is it possible to get my healtlh insurance to pay for it because I had the lapband surgery about two years ago and have lost 70lbs. He was the only one that suggested this surgery which seems very severe and I want to do what is best.

So I have been searching like a maniac trying to find a surgeon that I will feel comfortable with and that will fit within my budget. Unfortunately, this search has become so overwhelming and stressful for me that I had to take some time off and stop looking. So here's where I'am at as of today. 1) I've narrowed it down to Dr. Perrry, Dr. Yilly, or Dr. Duran. 2) I've had some Dr.'s recommend a Tummy Tuck which I absolutely don't want but I do want the best results possible. 3) I'am trying to calm myself down at the thought of leaving the US to have my procedures done In terms of body contouring nobody does it like the DR. After I get my quote from Dr. Perry I will make my choice which hopefully will be by the end of the week!

I live in the bay area and plan on going to Dr. Yily in October. It is a scary feeling of going to another country for cosmetic surgery. I choose yily for her sculpting abilities :) I received my quote last week and for the price and her work...it's worth it. If you find a doctor in the bay let me know. Maybe we can plan our trip to DR together. Good luck sweetie.

Oh, forgot to ask, what all do you plan on having done? I am having bbl, lipo to full back, upper and lower abs, flanks, arm pits, thighs, and arms. I am considering a breast lift at this time but not sure. If I don't have it in October, I will be returning in February.

I will be getting BBL,lipo of the arms, back , flanks, waist possibly thighs and the stomach. I want my breasts done but I'am actually trying to go through my insurance to have them pay for it by saying my neck and back hurt. I want my procedure done in mid to late August. Is there a reason why you didn't choose Dr. Duran? Iam somewhat torn between the two.

I tried to get my insurance to pay to...damn kaiser won't do it, hate my doctor :/ Duran does excellent work but I love Yily's waist and hips. I am looking for the booty but not overpowering. Did you check out iwantawaist. She just came back from Yily's and looks fantastic. Duran gives too much booty fir me...lol
