Hello Dolls and Future Dolls,
I'm new to Real Self and thought I'd share my encounter with Dra. Yily and research of other Dra's in the DR. First let me start by saying I'm 33 years old with 2 teenagers and with no plans of having anymore children. I've always had a small frame and weighed no more than 125-130lbs. When I turned 27 I stared to pick up weight due to me no longer clubbing and being active. Now I'm 5'1 at 155/60 lbs.; well proportioned. However, I'm not as fit as I used too. Please note that I'm not doing the surgery to loose weight. I'm doing it to motivate me to become more fit by working out and more food conscious. Just a run down of the 3 doctors I researched
Dra. Duran> I've seen pictures of her work however can not find enough reviews and not very easy to get in contact with.
Dra. Cabral> After reading the reviews and how some patience passed after his work and how he recruits his clients It was an automatic NO-NO until 2 of my cousins decided to go with him anyway. THEY LOOK AMAZING by the way... So I decided to reach out to him as time does bring experience. I emailed his team and sent photos as requested. First Flag, I do understand English is a second language but I need someone who will clearly comprehend what it is that I'm looking for. Second Flag, He sent me a quote with procedures I did not need as I gave him the referral from a surgeon in the US. his staff was not very informative and the Third Flag came when it seems as if it became a sales call pressuring me by only telling me that I had to scheduled the surgery soon as the dates for 2016 were almost unavailable.

Last but not Least Dra Yily.> I contacted her and received a response with-in 24 hrs. Sasha was very professional, and informative. Based on our conversation made me feel very comfortable. We emailed back and forth as I had a hundred questions and not once was a response delayed or didn't make me feel overbearing. So I decided to make my deposit of $300 and apt is set for Oct. 2016.

BTW you never have to contact them as they will continue to follow up with you the closer its gets to the procedure such as what vitamins to start taking immediately and where you'll be for recovery. I decided to take the all inclusive package for 8 nights which transportation is included to and from the airport and to and from all doctors appts. This is all included in the price quoted. If anyone has an apt set for the first week of October please reach out idf you need a traveling buddy.

I did the same thing...I was going to go with McAdoo, but once I researched him and found out that he had killed someone, then I decided very quickly against it. So then there was Fisher....I just felt so rushed, like you mentioned it felt more like a sales call than anything. When I told her (Sonia with Dr. Fisher) that I needed a date in March, she informed me that they were all booked, but she had dates in January and February of 2017...I find that hard to believe. So you telling me that people have booked up dates for March, but not Jan & Feb?? So then she gave me a price of $6000, but then I questioned her about it and advised her that I had seen a special he was offering for the Summer and that is what I inquired about when I sent my request, she said "okay I can give you that price, but you can only have free garment or 2 massages" I told her "well the special includes both items, so is this special no more? I just got frustrated b/c it was like she would tell me one thing, then say another once I call her out on it. I never got anything in writing explaining to me what all I need, what all is included in my price. So I said forget it and found Dra. Yily. I sent them a request and they responded to me 24hrs later with every single thing down to the detail. A VERY LONG email explaining step by step details. I felt really comfortable with that and made the decision to go with Yily.

Still Team Yily

RJBWOO

After reading most of the reviews I'm still deciding to go with Dr. Yily for my own personal reasons. 

You have to take all things into consideration when deciding to undergo these types of procedures. Although I appreciate everyoyones opinion, somethings are just common sense. Such as... ladies, please do get a yearly physical and health checkup prior to traveling abroad to get cosmetic surgery. What good does the outside if you're not well on the inside. Visit the dentist also. Most people don't know that your dental hygiene plays a big part in having a healthy heart. Also I notice ladies are not taking their vitamins as advised atleast 2 months prior to your surgery. You must not consume alcohol or drugs atleast 1month prior to your surgery as well. *Avoid Vitamin E* this can be found in Muti-Vitamins and increase bleeding. The doctor you have chosen should disclose all of this information to you. If not than maybe you have chosen the wrong physician.
Now as to why I continue to choose Yily over others such as Cabral, Duran and many popular others is her results. I'm going for more natural look. As other doctors that were previously mentioned give a more commercial, cartoon, and that " that [RS bleep] is not real" look. I want to still be able to wear jeans and not have to be limited to dresses and leggings. ( y'all know the two piece sets and body dresses) I like them but I'm to fashionable to be limited.
My next post will be more detailed as to what items I've purchased, links to how to have a better recovery, foods and others to avoid prior to surgery, and flight info. I will not be posting any before pictures until a week prior to my surgery. Until next time...

Switched from Yily to Duran

RJBWOO

Ok ladies I never understood why ladies would switch doctors as I thought it was just a trend of ladies doing copy cat; now I see. As to why I switched from Yily to Duran is for personal reasons.

1. Do to Yily having just as many negative comments then good I can not find any recent work from her. 2. All other doctors have a personals web page. Yily have one listed but is not valid 3. I request Yily on IG and Facebook to see if she'd posted any recent work, she has yet to accept my request. All others excepted within 24hrs. Duran is more pricey and does not include any of the incentives that Yily does however, I'm looking for consistency and a safe recovery.
