Hurt and Disappointed

I arrived to Santo Domingo on Wed. Aug 31 at 2:17pm. My first night in DR I stayed at the Renaissance. The very next day I was picked up by Jose at 8am to do my lab work.
I arrive at Cipla and was told that Yily was at a conference and unable to do my procedure. Yily's staff had the mordacity to lie in my face saying, " we tried calling you several times but didn't get an answer" my response was " you just called me Monday to confirm that I was still coming"( I was in DR on Wednesday) I was told that I could have to procedure Monday and was offered a free stage2 faja and a letter to the airport to accommodate a change in my itinerary.
My first reaction was free faja? I had already brought 2 with me(different sizes ). I then asked who's going to pay for my accommodation if I stayed in DR longer than planned? The faja deal was the only" deal" they could offer at the time. I demanded that I receive all money deposited back.(was given back via PayPal) I then had to change my flight which cost me $772. I took the next flight back to US.
I was still at the office when I booked my flight to head back to the US. I was heading straight to the airport when I went looking for Jose he was no where to be found. I had Someone to call him and discovered he had left me at the clinic, knowingly that Yily was not there.
Jose came back to pick me up but before doing so I was told by Yily's staff that I still owe the driver for transportation. I was shocked!!! I payed almost $1000 to fly to DR for Yily not to mention child care, buying materials, hotel fees and most of all the inconvenience. I was not accommodated for ANYTHING what's so ever.
I must say that out of all the reviews I've heard about Yily I still chose her because I know how people can over exaggerate. Most of all no one ever reached out to me to apologize. A procedure such as this isn't something that you think about overnight. You prepare for this mentally, physically, financially, and emotionally. I've researched for 2 years and this was the PS I chose. In the end it made me value myself even more today than yesterday. God makes no mistakes! Take care ladies...

I'm in shock. There were no other doctors that could preform your surgery? based on other reviews on realself it seems as though ladies switch their doctors when they get down there. Were there other ladies there that were not informed that Dra. Yily would not be available?

I was given the option to go with Cabral but don't like his work...Also the point of having to go through the whole consultation and not being sure of outcome was too risky for me.
September 9, 2016
I must say, out of all the reviews I've read, your review scared me the most. Before you responded I already made up my mind that cabral or Duran would be my back up in the event Yily is not available. How long are the consultations?
September 9, 2016
It can take hours of waiting if you're not already scheduled with that particular doctor. Duran have a wait list until next year so I was sure she wouldn't have taken me. Cabral had approximately 8 girls waiting in his office that day for surgery. I'm. It sure how he does it but Yily only had 2 scheduled. ( one each on Sept1st & Sept. 2nd )

Flights Booked... Yily 2016

RJBWOO

My date is getting closer and I now have 31 days before I leave for my procedure. I just purchased my flights with Jet Blue(6/30/16) for $670. The price is a little higher than what others paid however, the cheapest flight when searching was $397( Spirit ). I decided to fly economy there and first ($40x2) class back;I need the extra comfort when flying back home. Also I added insurance which I was shocked covers you up to $10,000 in medical fees.$50,000 in medical transportation, $500 lost luggage. There are other things that are covered as well. (Yily charges $150 for medical). The insurance company is called "Allianz" , that was $46 dollars which was including in the ticket price.

Okay great that makes me feel better. I need to email them and ask if they allow for husbands/spouse to stay as well. My husband is NOT trying to let me go alone...But I have read good reviews on Luxury RH, Dream Body Diva RH and Paradise RH. I might stick with the doc's recommendation and go with the Luxury RH.

Restored Faith In YIly (*First Choice*)

RJBWOO

So after my most recent post what do you know... Yily excepted me on IG and FB where I can see her most recent work. I already knew she was amazing but can I say Uberly Amazing. What made me fall in love with Yily is her results are so natural looking. I started to let the negative reviews get to me; I thought about how people will bash and throw dirt on your name only when things haven't turned out the way they expected which is normal however, if you're told to wear your faja 20 hrs a day then do so. if you're told to stop smoking and drinking alcohol and take the requested vitamins, then do so. If you done everything you've supposed to and you still have complications then you have every right to use this a platform to air out your "PERSONAL" experience. I also noticed a lot of ladies are doing reviews based off what someone else said and not their own experience with certain doctors. Do your own research!! I will be a Yily doll come Sept. 2016 and will post pictures of my before closer to my surgery date.
