Well, it's called a "muscle repair".... I had my surgery with Robles and I did get it, usually all TTs over in DR have them regardless of the Dr. U can tell.... An extremely cinched waist comes from the AB muscle being repaired because it takes about 2-4" off ur waist. Then if back n sides got lipoed, those are about 3-6" more... 3 months later, swelling gone n if u didn't eat urself away, u should have at least a 5-8" noticeable waist reduction!!!! I'm so far 32", before surgery I was 35" n I'm only 18 days po n super swollen, just can't imagine my final size.... Crazy!!!!

Laides I think it's inevitable that your going to have to buy a waist cincher for our tummy to get the compression it needs. I bought one today because after buying a smaller garment and getting oneones altered my lower stomach still was not getting good compression. I have on three garments as we speak and it's not good enough. And when I take my garments off I can tell the areas that are not getting compressed good. I purchased a Squeem compression vest off of Amazon in a small....I won't be able to breath hopefully *fingers crossed* lol

Hi! I am very new to this site and is viewing a few comments on Dra. Yily. Your profile is pleasing to read. However, I am asking for assistance on exactly on how to go about these procedures. I would like to have a BBL,Lipo to: full back, abs, flanks, arms, thighs, and a BL with Implant. I am 5'4 at 180lb. Do you suggest that I drop down some pounds first before having the procedure? I want to have a major full rear end!lol

I am one month and one week post op. I am still very swollen which is crazy to me, I thought more of the swelling woul've gone down by now. My sides around my waist are the most swollen. It's like I can push down and feel where my skin is supposed to be if that makes any sense. I have been getting weekly massages and the feel GREAT!! I take Arnica before and after the massages so I don't swell to bad. I don't have the Arnica cream just the tablets you put under your tongue, but I am going to get the cream this week. I started back working out and I know it is helping ar far as getting my lymphatic system back going. Afterwards, I always geta little swollen but not too much. Last week i got the garment Yily put me in altered, they took it in 5 inches, but now it's too loose again...ughhh. But I suppose that's a good thing. I guess I am just going to have to buy a whole new garment which I was dreading. I think i am just going to buy a corsette to put over the garment I have now, since my lower abs need the most compression. Weird but I am about 10 lbs heavier than before surgery, but my body is so much smaller and tighter. My jeans are tight though...my butt will barely fit in them which I guess is good and bad. I am trying to get my thighs toned up. Yily lipoed them, but I can not tell the difference....maybe it just takes more time. I bought this great skin tightening cream off of Amazon, and I rub it all over daily, and it's working great. As far as the soreness goes, it's practically gone...I barely feel it but I do feel the swelling. I posted a picture of my arm lipo which was and still is a [RS bleep]...the bruising is still heavy. I still have light bruising over my abdomen though. I think the bigger you are and the more volume you have for Yily to take out the longer it's going to take to see your final results. Be patient ladies, I have mini nervous breakdowns weekly...my friends are over me lol Well that's about it if i can think of anymore I will add, but feel free to ask any questions honey buns!

I stayed at CIPLA one night, and the rest of the time I was in DR I stayed in a hotel with a buddy. It really depends on how you deal with pain, butthe RH is not absolutely necessary.

Did you get all drains out in 3 days? Sorry if I missed it in your post, but it looks like you were only in the DR for 4 days? Trying to figure out how long I'd need to stay. Thanks!

You have to catch a taxi to and from CIPLA. It was usually around $10 bucks but I only had to go to CIPLA once after sx for her to take my drains out.

The driver usually comes with the RH, so if u stay on ur own be aware that u will always have to pay from your pocket...& don't forget getting picked up n going back to the airport another $30 each way. So alone in transportation u might spend $100.
