Soooo.... I sent Dr. Yily an email long time ago and I just got a response back the other day. I'm not even going to respond because I'm not having surgery anytime soon again. Not with her anyway. :-(

PROFILE

My personal experience w/Dr. Yily...well, there isn't much to say. I didn't meet her til I was drugged up and in a gown. She didn't speak English at all but Samira was there to translate. I stayed in the D.R. almost 5wks and I only saw Dr. Yily two times..once right before surgery and she just happened to be in the office while I was doing a post-op check. She is very beautiful but I would've liked my experience to be a lil more one on one and personal. I am not at all pleased with my results. I now have a very large boob and a very small boob(one of which now has an inverted nipple.), my belly pokes out especially where the muscle repair is and I have an ugly pooch in my pants and undies from the way she did my TT. I don't want to show my body to anyone and would really like a revision. I've attempted to contact the Dr. about my results but no response back.

its SAD that it takes them (some DR surgeons) to respond...in "my" opinion I think when surgeons have too many surgeries a day it takes away from them CONCENTRATING on DOING what they are getting paid to do on each patient!!! cause Yily tummy tuck is usually AWESOME...so what's really going on with HER!!!????
I too went to Dr Yily. After pour myself into my family I wanted to do something for me. It has been a little over a year. Cant say I could recommend her as I too have a pooch and one breast is bigger than the other. Getting through to he an her staff...good luck. I also saw her once under the same condition.
It happened to me and two other friends by a dr in Colombia. It was annoying n I hated it too. All 3 of us had to do it over. Of course not with the same surgeon. I went to DR to get it fixed. Im flat now. Dont get discouraged. It's sad to say but most end up doing surgery more than once. I think Dr. Duran and Dr. Baez takes alot of pride in their work. I have been researching for a long time and their work seems consistent. Im sorry your not happy but if you plan on getting revision choose the surgeon based on consistency. Btw I have seen some of the breast she messed up yours dont look nearly as bad. Good Luck Chica.
I'm sorry you weren't happy with your results
Where are you now with revisions and contacting her?

First I have to say thank you for being so candid (and funny) in your reviews. Your personality shows and makes it so easy to read :) I know you were not 100% pleased with certain issues about your surgical experience, but over all, you have an amazing figure! I have to say that with all the sacrifice and time, your descriptions helped me decide a few things regarding my own plans for everything you had done, except a butt lift. I don't necessarily want implants just yet, so we'll see what happens. Thank you again for your detailed commentary, I really appreciate it and I hope you get everything you deserve and want from your future plans. :)
You're welcome. I haven't posted any pics recently because it's getting worse. No matter what I try to do, my muscle repair just pokes out further. I'm looking into having a consult here in Germany this month. There's a really good doctor who went to Yale that I was originally going to. I should've stuck with her.

Why take DELETE your REVIEW cause of people asking questions that can be READ in your review???? You dont have to keep answering the same questions...in your head line just say "READ MY DAMN REVIEW ENTIRELY!" Cause this site it to HELP others in their RESEARCH...
Hey tiny, I totally agree with you! That is not inflammation!! As far as the comment someone made about just doing sit-ups and that will help I beg the differ. It's not that simple. It's the way she did the tummy tuck. That's the reason you have that bulge! You know I feel for you because I have the same issues!! I can hold my stomach in and it looks flat, but after I eat and drink its a little more difficult holding it in. I can't wait for my revision next year. Shout out to Dr. Lima
