Just came across your review. Thank you for the shower tips There really is so much involved in this surgery. So much anticipation, so much preparation. What type of implant did you get? You look great! I will be asking you later about your compression garment.

Thank you for sharing, I couldn't find many informative reviews on this doctor as well. Did you have BBL too? Where did you stay after SX?

You are welcomed, thats why i shared it becuase i was looking all over for some reviews. Only locals know about this doctor, his rep is that he is a little more expensive than other doctors in DR, but he is part of the American plastic surgery society. I also like all the preventive stuff he makes you do after surgery. (compression socks for 21 days, pills like nexium just to coat your stomach from all the other medicine, night before surgery a relaxer to sleep well) ect. I was lucky enough to stay with family. No i didn't have a BBL. You can email him and ask if he knows a place you can stay.

i saw you ve paid 12000 for TT and BA,well the price is same here in US for these procedures. Dra Yilly quoted me 5700 for TT, BBL , BL with BA. How many people he was operation on when you had your SX? Thank you again for answering my questions! I very appreciate it :)

i also had lipo in the back. He had three people that day i was the second one of the day. but the 12,000 included the medicine, the socks the compression garments that he put on me one after surgery and one a week after as well. I gave the 12,000 price because it was for everything. if you email and send pic he will quote you. i had tons of loose skin i also have a lap band that he had to move a little as well. Im sure everyones price is different.

Still swollen, and the lower back is still sore. But im happy

LOVINGTHEWHOLEMESeptember 4, 2013
Its hard to say how i feel from a scale 1-10. The lower back is like about a 6 in terms of pain. I finally started sleeping on my side two days ago. I love my breast and love what im seeing in terms of the scar healing. My tummy is still really swollen. I haven't wore any heels just because i was afraid but will start wearing heels this week. My compression garment is still really tight. I am really happy with my results so far. I emailed my doctor some pictures two days ago and 20 minutes later he replied that he also likes how its coming along. I love my doctor. I mean the attention the care and how quickly he replies to everything makes me feel like he is right here in NY with me. My breast look so natural i will post before shots later on today. the pictures Im adding are from two days ago. I think im healing pretty nicely.

4weeks anniversary so i treated my self to a new compression garment

LOVINGTHEWHOLEMEAugust 28, 2013
My 4 weeks post op. I was expecting the swelling to go down in my lower back and its slowly going away. I bought a new compression garment much tighter since my last one was getting too comfy if that makes sense. I was told if i use this one i wont have to worry about the painful massages. The brand im using is Fajate. Its Colombian and has vitamin E in the fabric. Was really hard to find in NYC had to call the website and find retailers. I really like my new compression garment even though i couldn't even sit the first day i think its helped with swelling. I only wear it during the day at 10pm for bed i throw on my previous less tight garment. Im looking forward to buying bras with no under wires this week. I feel really happy with my results so far. I actually can almost sleep on my side. Still sleeping on tons of pillows.
