Hello,

I share this account with my husband, and he recently wrote a review that was taken down, due to polices issued by RS. Per RS only the person that actually had the surgery can write reviews. So, that brings me here. He was only trying to get the word out on what happen to me during my stay in Dominican Republic. He also told me there was people that were very rude therefore so after this review I will not reply to anyone's question or replies. I have nothing to prove, but I hope RS let me get this message out to the people. Hopefully it can save a life. I have copied (Screen copy) the message just encase something tragic happens to one of you beautiful ladies, I can show evidence that I tried to get the word out about the practice of Dr. Yily.

Well after the Surgery I looked great for about the first 3 hrs. Then I started to feel bad...Very bad... Until eventually I had hives all over my body, temperature of 102, Blood sugar of 200 plus, blood pressure of 208 over 108. I also had shortness of breath. My husband contacted Yily several times. Yily treated me as if I was a DOG... I contracted MRSA and a flesh eating bacteria from the surgery, that per my infectious disease Dr. he thinks the equipment was unsanitary due to the locations of my infection. He said,"Everywhere the scapula touched you have infection". I was in a coma for 5 days, not that I am awake I feel very good. No memory lose. However, they will be removing my breast implants on tomorrow due to reacquiring infection. I have a large hole in my back from the drainage and the sponge that's extracting the bacteria from my body and helping me heal. I am not telling people not to go to Yily, but I will say this, don't go alone. As sick as I was on the flight I can only imagine being on that flight alone. I wish you all well, and I will keep you posted on my recovery. May the man above bless you all in whoever you select for you mommy make overs.

Wow!!! I never reply to any reviews I see but yours touched my heart as a woman but also as a human being. I can imagine right now everything you going through and I feel your pain. I am very very sorry. I wish you the best in your recovery. God Bless You.
WHAT!!!!!!? omg thats prolly where the infections start at the hospital.. :( yikes i pray for a speedy recovery
Oh my God! I am scared now... I go to yily soon...,
I understand your frustation. I think you should mention this to Dra. Yily as well as your worries and concerns. I'm pretty sure she should be able to addres the situation because I don't think she wants to loose business. Remember that she is not the one that sterilize the utensils. Send her an email or call her before the sx. I'm planning to have my sx done by Nov or Dec but with Dr. Fatima Anadel Almonte. She also works in Cipla with Dr. Walkiris Robles. Good Luck and God Bless you.
I hope you recover soon. I think what's more crazy is that people still try to be cheap and go to this surgeon and think it won't happen to them. Because it doesn't happen to all her patients but why travel outside the U.S. And chance your own life just to save some money. Most the women who go there want and end up spendin more on a second BBL or a revision. When it would be cheaper to just have went to a good PS in the first place
did you die?
I pray for your speedy recovery and am glad that you are now getting the medical attention that you need. I'm sorry you had to go through this, this could have happened to anyone and is no fault of your own.
Thank you so very much for your courage in telling your story. Honesty and frankness doesn't usually go over well here in RS land. I wish you a speedy recovery and all the best.
