Happy with my surgery with Dr. Yily De Los Santos

So I added a new photo. I am past the 3 month mark. I have recently had more soreness on my lower back and inner thighs than normal. It's been uncomfortable especially laying down. I guess it all takes time. I know the back is a very difficult area since there is normally a lot of fat there and the doctor tends to be very aggressive. i'll just wing it out..

Btw reason I have not been answering some questions is because everythinggggg is on my blog. Ladies please read!!! I cannot stress this enough. I answer questions that haven't been addressed before but I disregard what has been answered and what I have gone over repetively. It's not fair to me and I think it's rude. And to those ladies who answer questions for others I appreciate you aka curvy and ejj (girl ur name is complicated LOL). Alright, gotta get back to work. That's all for now.

Okay, so I have been getting a lot of questions in reference to a few things. So I will answer here that way I don't have to answer repeatedly and everyone can see this.

My arm lipo was ABSOLUTELY worth it. I will see if I can update with a photo if I find an old picture from before that way I can compare it to something. For one, I didn't have huge arms. When I was thinner my arms were very slender and naturally defined and toned. As I gained weight they got "chunkier" in the tricep area, back of the arms. It was chunky enough to pinch where it bothered me. Also I did it because I did not want to lipo my body and be very slim in the waist area and have huge arms or arms that look disproportionate to the rest of my body. I think that looks unnatrtactive and you can tell someone has had surgery since their body doesn't "match" the rest of them. So once again, I didn't have huge arms, just noticeable to me where I was not happy with them and figured I'm getting everything else done, might as well have that too. I have NOOOO regrets! It hurt like HELL but if I had to choose to have done them or not I would do it all over again (although I would really brace myself lol). Ya'll know from my review that the arms were torture. Yily was extremely aggressive and left my arms looking really tiny. It really compliments the rest of my body well and I LOVE it! I look thicker in pictures but in person I am much slimmer. My body is curvy and thick but still slim to some degree. I don't like the overly exaggerated super duper thick look. That was not what I was going for and I am pleased with my own results because I look somewhat skinny but still curvy with fat in the right places. Yily was responsible for this because I used to be really thick! 7 liters is a lot of fat to remove from a person who is 5 feet tall weighing 152 lbs.

I am also very happy with my inner thigh lipo and the lipo to the back of my thighs. Most especially the inner thighs. My inner thighs were thick and they would rub a LOT! It was really annoying especially in dresses and in the summer with shorts. It made me really self conscious and I truly despised it. She did a great job when it comes to this since they now look very defined.

My chin lipo was also verrrry worth it. I had a somewhat "pronounced" double chin for a person that wasn't that big. It really bothered me and although I think I may have some residual fat and swelling, it is not what I had before. I am in my 20's and although I am fairly young I think I may need a neck lift because I have a lot of looseness in the muscles in my neck. Part of it has to do with the fact that I have control of these muscles and when I was little I used to play around and stretch it out to look like if I was a frog LOL. I was a weird child, don't judge me lol. Therefore, although it is obvious to me not to anyone else, I will always have some slight looseness and never that super flat look. I will post pictures this week too. I didn't bruise at all. The swelling doesn't go down really fast. Don't think that you will have this done and have no double chin. My neck looked really big during the first 2-3 weeks. By the time I went back to work I looked like I did pre-op so no one noticed I had anything done. It takes time and you will feel soreness but nothing out of the ordinary that you cannot tolerate. It is very minor, at least for me. I had a stitch under my chin, and one under both ears. I removed them myself after 5 days. It will feel lumpy and will then start to smooth out. Just massage it and it will go down. Expect 2-3 months to see full results. Research just to make sure you know what to expect. I did and this is what I got. I am very happy with it and I definitely see a difference

I got a question about insurance and something about $250. Yily did not offer this when I had my procedure so I can't really answer this since I know nothing about it.

In reference to before and after photos, I live in NYC where many girls with plastic surgery such are very known. Such as Yaris, Stephanie Santiago, so blessed, momosofly, curvyJ, etc. These girls plus MANY more have been "exposed". People on twitter around my neck of the woods are known for blasting old photos before photos. I think that is very low! I don't understand why people do that. The hate out there is truly real. I had a decent body before my surgery but I am not willing to go through that humiliation especially posting pictures of me naked or with little clothing. A lot of these people known for "exposing" have referred to sites such as these to retrieve before photos. So what I am trying to say is that I don't feel comfortable putting my before photos. I originally had them but I removed them once I googled myself that I saw myself full front and center. I know it may not be fair to many of you but please understand where I am coming from.

Incisions: I only had lipo. My incisions were pubic area for lower abdomen. Inside the belly button for upper abdomen. I have a deep inny and I had no complications from this incision. These incisions are VERY small, probably an 1/8th of an inch. The belly button incision worked totally for me and I had no complications. You can't see a thing. 1 incision under each armpit. This may be to lipo the waist and around the ribs. 1 on your mid back. 1 between your butt crack at the start. 1 in side of my groin for inner thigh. 1 on each elbow for the arms. and 1 under each butt cheek for fat graft.

Dr. Yily uses the Fajate brand in her fajas. Mine came with detachable sleeves. Do NOT buy a secondary faja before your surgery! I know a lot of girls like to overprepare but you don't know what size you will be and it makes no sense. Buy it after your surgery. You will need to have your faja taken in at the waist anyway.

As far as the faja itself is concerned: I wear mines basically 24/7. Especially I feel it has helped tremendously as far as my shape. I was one of those people that could not even begin to BEAR wearing anything tight. Let alone for 3 months and for the entire day including at night. And now to think I feel weird without it. The compression really helps with discomfort and pain and plays a major role on your results. Please ladies, keep it on. I know some people haven't kept theirs on and have still had good results. Yet I know people that haven't and their results have not been good. My recommendation is to keep it on. You have nothing to lose and more to gain. I have seen my body change because of it, especially my waist and other parts of my body.

I will try to post photos of the arms and chin soon. I normally update from work and don't have those photos on this computer for obvious reasons. If there are typos and whatnot please excuse me since I am trying to update as much as I can very quickly. Hopefully that answers the influx of questions I have been getting these few weeks. That's all for now, xx!

Hi Ladies,

Please if your comments don't pertain specifically to this review private message each other in reference to corresponding and exchanging information that pertains to your specific procedure. It is extending far too long and deviating from what it was originally and I want to stay within what it was from the beginning.
