My deformed back (and arm)
Five (5) year update -- ready for round2 / revisions
Thank you to all who have supported me on this journey. I can't believe I'm doing this again. It is difficult in every way, especially when you have complications. I know PS is not perfection, but I also believe Drs should fix their errors when they are clear to everyone that it an error and not just someone being picky. Mild uneveness is bound to happen in lax skin in many cases, but big dents is an error. AND people should not have to pay (with cash and horrible results) from others practice (yes, I think some doctors allow other doctors to work on their patients). Also, when they are new doctors (even in the states) you should be able to know when newbies are working on you. IMHO, it should be dirt cheap, free or even get paid to be a guinea pig. I have big indents and lines on my back where there is barely anything but muscle there (in the lower back in the center where the base of the spine is). What the heck was anyone doing lipo-ing that area?!!! I'm still so mad!!! There was no need to put a canula in that area of my back!!! Grrr... Trying to move on and correct it, as I am so sick of being self conscious. I would actually rather have a scar (I heal well) that have the dents (some of them are big lines, like 4+ inches long, a long narrow dent--it looks so weird).
Going over my body now that I'm a year out and really evaluating everything.
Provider Review
Dr. Yily is way too overbooked. The day before my surgery she did surgery on five patients and had 7 post-op patients. Four of the 7 post-op patients had complaints about Yily missing something (arms, thighs, or something). The day of my surgery, which she almost did 7 patients, but ended up only doing 6, she FORFOT my thighs even though I bought a 5-page printout with photos and verbiage in both English and Spanish to to explain all my wishes and concerns. In addition, I had to fill out two sets of papers the day of surgery-on each of these sets of paper, I filled out the procedures being performed: THIGHS were one of the FIRST three words I wrote on each document. When I brought it up to her after surgery. She said I didn't say anything beforehand. I insisted I did and she said, "Don't lie." I kid you not, she said that and I quote her exact words. She did not know that the two women in the attached room were my friends-staying with me at the RH (Blitzgirl and Fabulous Fifty) who will both confirm this is accurate. I did not battle her on it as I was trying to get her to fix it before I left. I later determined I just could not handle another procedure this soon, so I did get my money back. She is a good surgeon. Don't get me wrong. However, she is slipping - big time. She does too many surgeries and is making mistakes, getting lax, and cutting corners IMHO. To give her the credit that she deserves, what she did do for me is fabulous. I do have a great shape. She otherwise followed my wishes/instructions. If I don't lose any of the butt I have right now, I do have exactly what I wanted. So she is good and I did like her, but she was not professional in how she handled the situation and it was a loss for me because now I'm stuck not having my thighs done and it will cost me a lot more now to have them done. She should have on file what I asked for (seeing it was in the first and subsequent emails, it was in the paperwork she requested, as well as the one I brought into consultation AND I paid for it). She shirked responsibility and treated me like I was trying to get away with something and talked to me like you would on the street. I replied with something like, "there was obviously communication issues or misunderstanding, but it is neither here nor there, I would just like it fixed" and I told her I was staying two weeks and asked if she would do it. She said she would see. Normally it is 20 days before you can have surgery again. I do think that she would have done it if I stayed and was fit for it, but I don't like that she said "don't lie." THAT is NOT how you talk to a patient! Period. So that is my final review on Yily. Too much risk, and too much money to fix the errors. It would have been better to save and go to someone who takes their time. Many people need something fixed (uneven lipo, lumps, bumps, unevenness). Given the current state and what is happening and what happened to me even though I knew about the situation and was tring to avoid it, I would also avoid her. :-/
