Ok. I just returned from my third consultation. I met with Dr. Ye initially and got the same good feeling I felt while researching him online. I likes him and all his reviews online, but I decided to be thorough and meet with two other doctors who also had good reviews. I'm satisfied in my initial assessment that Dr. Ye is the best option. My appointment is September 27. I'll post before pictures soon.

You can tell he's not aggressive with his lipo and doesn't know how to contour a curvy shape during surgery. I hate to say it but I would have been pissed. You should've when to Dr. J Curves in ATL or Dr. Miami in Miami because they both know how to contour and enhance your curves. Look the up on instagram.

I'm not sure that that's a fair assessment considering that I am still quite swollen. I have days where the swelling subsides and I am really quite satisfied with what I see. I'm glad that you're impressed with the work of Dr. Curves and Dr. Miami. I hope my review is helpful to others in making a decision, whether they approve of the outcome or not. However, I'm realizing that I'm a slow healer. Perhaps, the final outcome will be more favorable. Thanks for your comment.

Also, I didn't have any fat transferred. So, he didn't add any curves. He just removed some of the tummy fat, to hopefully, give me a flatter tummy when I'm fully recovered.

You're absolutely right. Having had enough surgeries & procedures myself - I know how to see the difference in post-surgical swelling a few days after (like your first pics) and how 6-months later pictures (like surgeons put on Instagram.) You do NOT need curves put in - you need to give some of those rear-end curves to me. If I was you I would NOT have done Fat Transfer, just the lipo, like you did. You're going to look great.

do you think DR ye was a good fit! I gave him a deposit and he didn't even inform I shouldn't smoke before the procedure.. I am nervous now and wondering if I could ask for my deposit back.

Did you initially get the deal offor Groupon? Does he give better prices if you want additional work ?
February 12, 2016
I did. But, he gave me the Groupon price and said, I didn't need to buy the Groupon. He also told me was doing more fore the price he gave me than the Groupon covered.
I don't know about the additional work, because so far everything he's done has been covered under my initial payment. Including the recent touch up he did.

can I ask how much did he charge, im looking into him for lipo?
April 3, 2017
He charged the Groupon rate. $4699. Plus he accepts Care Credit (0% interest or low interest rate - depending on length of term). If you pay cash, he may negotiate the cost.

Ok. I have a little over a week until my surgery and I'm a little nervous. But, I can't wait to see the results! I hope they are as good as some of the one I've seen posted here. I don't usually do networking sites. But, this site has helped me so much to make my decision that I felt it only fair to post my experience. Hopefully it will help someone else.

I returned home from surgery about 45 mins ago. Dr. Ye and his staff were very friendly and attentive prior to the surgery. I took the advice of another poster in her review and focused on inhaling the laughing gas to deal with the pain. Dr. Ye showed much concern throughout and kept checking to see if I were ok. I could feel the pain, but with the laughing gas it felt like I was dreaming. So, it wasn't as bad. On a scale of 1-10 maybe it was a 5. After surgery I felt nauseous while he was taking the pics. Maybe from the gas or maybe the sight of the blood. So, he had me lie back down and lowered my head so the blood could flow upward. His assistant offered me water. Then, I felt better. He showed me the after pics, and they looked GOOD. I hope it looks that good after the recovery period. I took my tylenol 3 immediately following surgery, because i was afraid of the pain setting in. My boyfriend dropped me off and picked me up and I think the Tylenol kicked in and I felt well enough to drive myself home. The Tylenol did not completely stop the pain, but it made it more tolerable. On a scale of 1-10 it went down to a 3. It kinda smarter like how it feels if you burn your arm reaching into the oven while cooking. I'm lying in bed now, and I almost feel NO pain as long as i'm not moving. I'll wait until the pain subsides after day 2 before I try to take after pics. When I got home I had to change one of my pads and my underwear and pants, as the blood had soaked thru. The sight of blood made me nauseous again. So, i'm trying not to look at my stomach until the incisions stop leaking. They said day 1 and 2 are the worst days. So, as long as this is as bad as it gets pain wise... I'm good. I'll update if anything changes before then. Btw... Removing and putting clean clothes on was quite a feat. I felt the pain more and could barely bend or lift my legs all the way without pain. But, again, it was bareable.
Looking forward to your before pics! Keep us posted on everything. If you haven't already, check out our resource roundup and a link to our guides to help you prep.
