Hello good morning, I'm thinking about getting some work done with her next year and I'm so nervous to go all the way to the DR for this procedure but she's the cheapest one i found and I've also heard some good things about her and her staff...what made your experience bad?

Do not go to this doctor. After what I've seen here and read that would seem to be common sense, a horrible mistake. Please don't go to a doctor because they're cheap. This is your body and life! This is a serious surgery. I am 2 weeks post op, and with the best doctor I could find with cost not a factor. There are many ups and downs. It was a very difficult recovery and very scary. You need to have support, responsible professional after care. I had been botched before by a previous doctor do to a fat transfer from my abdomen to breast. That's why I needed a tummy tuck. Even that dr was reputable. You have to be very careful when choosing a doctor. If you don't have enough money wait until you do. My thoughts are with you. I hope you make the right decision.

I'm so sorry for your bad experience. I wish you nothing but the best and a speedy recover. I'm getting BBL with Yily but I chose NOT to do a TT. She was ok with it. Im very optimistic and pray I end up ok. God bless boo and good luck with everything.

Dont do it shes messed up a lot of women. Why do you guys continue to go to D.R how dumb can you be? Look at her botched up reviews. Infections, burns, other people working on your body besides her. Most women dont make it back to the states but you ladies continue with these stories and your gonna need more than prayer. Save your money better yet save your body & life Sista!

Everyone is entitled to their decisions and just because they chose to go to DR doesn't make them dumb. I actually have many friends that have gone and nothin happened to them. An accident can happen anywhere or anytime. I've seen reviews here on other doctors from the states that do poor sloppy jobs with infections. You keep your rude opinion to yourself and we will continue to stay positive and optimistic and YES PRAYER DOES HELP!

I feel the same... Im going in two weeks and no doubt this review has me thinking twice but i know several people who have gone to Yily and nothing happened but great results. Anything can happen anywhere. Thats the risk of optional surgery

Hi dolly. I kinda thought the same but then I thought "I can't let this affect how I feel" yes I feel bad and wish her the best to recover but I read tons of comments on here and people say good and bad things about Yily, Baez, etc...Duran had botched someone recently someone posted the entire thing on RS but I didn't go bash the doctor because honestly I believe anything can happen to anyone. One of the main reasons why females go to DR is because it's cost efficient and they get results they want. When I made my deposit for Yily the bank representative stopped me and said "is she good" I pretended like I didn't know what she was talking about but she then commented "I heard she's great" which was out of the blue considering she was a normal woman working at a bank but knew her just by looking at her name. I'm also not trying to praise her. Overall woman make their decisions based on what's best for their lifestyle. Just continue to research. I'm bringing my BF because he is Dominican and I want to ensure everything is communicated with Yily when it comes to my safety and health with this SX. N don't mind at all honest reviews because it helps a lot but calling people dumb for making an ideal, most rational decision for THEIR OWN personal life is rude and just hatin. Good luck to everyone on RS!!!

Yes boo you are right! I look at the work from the states and the tummy tucks look sloppy. It looks like 2 pieces of sewed up meat not even a pretty waist. Some of them don't even consider making you look good they just do what THEY think is best. Surgery is a risk anywhere you go.

This is a very insensitive comment ! When traveling over seas anywhere regardless if it's DR or Colombia anything can happen . Yily is not the only doctoring DR & ive read about bad things happen in Colombia also People should stop trying to push Colombia down people's throats And just give support

Girl, don't waste your time warning them. They'll still go and will continue being defensive despite all the warning signs.

Idk if any other else told you but buy MediHoney or Manuka Honey KFactor 16.. They works wonders on this same type of burn. Sorry you're going through this
