After stocking this site for quite a while I have minimized my choice of plastic surgeons to Dr. Yily and Dr. Duran. I've contacted both of them and Duran gave me a quote of $3500 and Yily $3300 which is way better than I expected because I was planning to spend about 10k due to the quotes I've received in the US, I'll be saving more than half!! :).. But now I'm undecided on who to go for. I've noticed that Yily gives women that really small waist and nice shape but Duran gives you a BOOTY, I want both, I wish there was some way to combine them. Please I need feedback from you guys on who you suggest. I will post up pictures of myself, they both said I need to gain about 10 pounds so these pics are before I gain weight, I'll post some after too to keep everyone updated. I will have to decide on who to go to by the end of this month so I can buy my ticket and book my appointment for March 2014 (fingers crossed).

She replied to me the same day, you have to contact her on her Facebook and yily on her email. Where have you contacted them at?

I keep posting a comment instead of replying lmao, did you get a reply from yily or Duran?
November 15, 2013
I just check Yily and it says she charges $60 for consultation? Is that for email too? Usually email consultations are free as are most face to face with most doctors. Just curious. Also, have you heard of doc F. Baez, also in DR? Thanks for any info. Am also looking into BBL
User Avatar
November 15, 2013
She didn't charge me anything for my quote, neither did Duran.. Yea I've read about Baez but I'm very impressed with both Yily and Duran
November 15, 2013
Thanks for your reply. Sorry about the "check" s/be 'checked Yily's bio' above. Many claim their surgeon is the best, so it's difficult to make a decision. I want this done only ONE TIME. Read so many great reviews from women mainly in their 20's. Also, so many of these women had or plan to have multiple surgeries - TT, BBL, BA, arms & thighs lipoed - at the same time. Sounds a bit scary since I'm at least twice some of these women's age & some surgeons don't recommend to have a TT & BBL at the same time. I need both, believe me, but am a little hesitant doing them together - wonder how to sleep? LOL. I wish you good luck and hope you look as terrific as you imagined. Will email Dr. Yily also and hope for the best.

The worse thing about it is that although it's risky to have both done at once it'll be a hassle to travel twice to the Dominican Republic. I suggest that you do the tummy tuck here in the US since it's a riskier surgery then do the bbl in DR since they know how t sculpture women. That way you're not doing both at once. And thank you, I've been aiming more towards Duran lately but we'll see lol
November 15, 2013
Dear Johas, true I thought about scenario too, get TT & BBl & be done LOL. Looked for Dr. Duran but could find no email or phone number [not that I speak Spanish & would call], but wanted it just in case. Have a friend from Beliz who could translate. So if you could post Dr. Duran's email I'd be grateful. Also, I need a place to stay, any suggestions? Thanks for everything! This is the best site - so glad I found all the great woman willing to share ideas and pictures. Thanks in advance.

I'm torn between them too!!! I can't figure out which one would be better for my needs/wants. One minute ppl say durans the best, then the next I hear yily is lol. I need whoever can make my arms and belly the smallest possible with a smooth flat tummy tuck. The hips and butt I trust will turn out fine by either doctor tho.
User Avatar
November 15, 2013
Well if that's what you're looking for then Yilys the girl for you, I've seen her postop pics and their waists are tiny, Duran does the huge butts tho, I wish I could have both that's why it's such a difficult decision for me ='(

So I have the money for the surgery set aside but obviously there are extra costs? I'm going to calculate it myself but what so you girls suggest is a decent amount of money to save up pre-op, EVERYTHING included even the plane ticket??

She is on Realself. Her name is Haz_luv. Type in Dra Yilly infections on Realself..you will get a lot. One woman even had a sponge in her back to draw out the infection. They also had to remove her breast implants.
November 15, 2013
Well,you have to tip to receive great service(so I read)..i Recovery house fees. The massuese.($300 alone) The driver. Meds Medical insurance Other fees.....I don't mean to scare you,but some Dr's decide that a pt might need a tummy tuck after all when they see their bodies face to face. I would say

November 16, 2013
So I got in touch with Yily through her email drayilyplastica@gmail.com and Duran through her Facebook.
November 15, 2013
Sx=surgery. I think $7000 may be enough. Depends if you stay for 10 or 14 days. Check out Recovery homes,email them to get an idea of prices.
November 15, 2013
OK, thanks for the info! Thought maybe sg or sy for surgery... LOL

I've been thinking about my decision every single day, LITERALLY, debating. It's all I talk about lol.. So this is the conclusion I've come up with thus far, I might be going with Yily, these are my reasons why: when I emailed Yily, whoever it was that emailed me back, I think it was someone from her team, they were the ones that made it a point to gain the 10 pounds because I didn't have enough fat for my bbl, Duran NEVER mentioned that, all she gave me was a price and info on what it covered and pre-op instructions, I was the one that had to ask her is I had to gain 10 pounds in order to get my results then she told me to gain the 10 pounds. Another reason is because Yily emphasized that she does not use PMMA and that is why she needed me to gain weight, did Duran not mention the weight gain because she uses it and it didn't matter how much fat I had??!! Also I've been thinking about the fact that the fat that they graft to your butt usually fades after about a year (correct me if I'm wrong) while if you get a small waist, as long as you maintain it, it's not going to simply fade away, Durans a master at giving you the ass that you want while Yily masters the waist line. Again, these are the thoughts I've woken up with today, people wake up with different feelings EVERYDAY lol. Would love an opinion from my real self bbl sisters on their opinion!!! :)

Im torn too... supposedly the ass remains even after a year. I want ny waist as small as possible... but more importantly Im going fir proportion. still undecided... I think yily gives ass if you ask for it... i have seen a few duran after that still had back rolls but duran is giving pretty nice hips. i think yily will come back strong... idk what to do
User Avatar
November 16, 2013
Yea and that's the thing, I don't even want to be able to pinch any fat from my back or stomach lol
User Avatar
November 17, 2013
me too! If I know for sure Duran will suck the life outta this torso I'm all in... I got a little bit of booty already but I want mad projection. Are you close to a decision?
User Avatar
November 17, 2013
I might be leaning a little towards Yily now, I don't want my ass too look over exaggerated either, then it'll look fake you know.. Plus a small waist makes your ass look big regardless, my pics don't do any just to my ass but I have a little junk in the trunk I just need them to make it look rounder and lifted and make just a couple sizes bigger lol.. I'm pretty sure if I mention that to Yily and let her know that's a concern she'll do it. But I have two weeks to make the final decision.

November 17, 2013
i feel u... I don't want a nikki but I want a noticeable change. nice and full. hip to waist ratio is important to me as well. with recovery being so major i need it to be right and ready.lol. but above all else my desire to have a tummy tuck is why I started looking in to ps in the first place...
User Avatar
November 17, 2013
What surgeons have you narrowed your choices to? Just Yily and Duran?
User Avatar
November 17, 2013
Yep... Ive gotten quotes from everyone... beaz, robles, even cabral... I believe they are the most consistant...At first I was gonna get lift and possibly implants but I decided to have that done in the states so they can go through my armpit and I can avoid the lift completey. Not in a rush to do that though. Initially when I started to look into this procedure I was led to cabral... but with the series of unfortunate event I don't feel safe in his hands.
November 19, 2013
who do you think gives better tummy tucks yilly or duran
User Avatar
November 19, 2013
i honestly feel yily us a better sculptor .. if the ass does disappear at least my waist will still be tiny...lol
User Avatar
November 20, 2013
I agree, with you, the few pics I've seen of Yilys patients have a really nice shape
November 23, 2013
I'm looking at two pics of girls who had recent surgery,one with Duran and one with Yily. Both had them done 2 weeks ago,but between you and I,I think Yily killed it. She gave better results than Dr Duran. Mamacita's results look better than BklBeauty(from the front anyway). But I guess I have to keep in mind they are 2 different bodytypes,and in that case they are both beautiful results.

Amen hve u heard of almonte she is really gud wit snatching that waist
User Avatar
November 23, 2013
Ive heard her name, I just haven't seen many b/a pics from here... I decided to go with my first mind- Yily, and really mamacitas results solidified it for me... aren't very many reviews past 1 year po so I decided I would be happy knowing I got the tiniest waist possible
User Avatar
November 23, 2013
You also have to keep in mind their procedures... mamacita didn't even get her boobs done and is still lookin on fierce. Only time can truly tell
November 23, 2013
I think Yily is making a comeback,even though she really hasn't gone anywhere. It seems Duran's practice was open before Yily,but Yily had success first? I just found that interesting. Maybe the next big Doc is Baez or Walkiris Robles.
User Avatar
November 23, 2013
from what I heard Yily and Duran performed surgery each other and were both coached by cabral. Still- it seems like Yily has the best waists hands down
November 17, 2013
I don't know what to do either. Lots of Yily dolls were complaining about deflation. My concern is more shape than projection. But,all in all,its who provides the most with the least complications. No need of having a .60 Waist to Hip ratio if you got burns all over your body,damged nerves,or an infection.

You have a point, ugh UNDECIDED AGAIN!!! Lol... I sent them both a surgery date of March 4th and they still haven't answered, if it weren't for the deposit I would've booked an appointment with both just to have my place secured and decide last minute... My times limited on making a decision, all airfares go on a crazy discount the Monday after Black Friday so I want to take advantage of that

I didn't know Duran uses that. Uh oh,back to square one. I remember now. Pmma is used when women get booty injections. Its basically fix a flat material.
