Oh my god. And Im scheduled to go to her in September. Im scared now. I thought she was having a baby
I'm really sorry this happened to you, I hope you heal as best as can be expected. Im commenting to keep this review up and relevant. When you're ready for the second stage look into Dr. Results in Miami. He specializes in mommy makeovers. He is very expensive but worth every penny. I was treated like a superstar from the moment I stepped into his office for a consultation to the day I left from my surgery. I had my makeover 6 days ago and could not be happier. Pain and swelling haven't been bad and my csections hurt worse than this. You get what you pay for with him and he delivers! I truly hope you heal quickly and painless sweetie. I'm so sorry.
This is terrible! So sorry this happened to you. How is your recovery going? I wish you well!

DONT!!!! Do not go to this lady she will kill you!!! So stop! Now find somebody else please!!!!! These reviews are truths do what’s right and save yourselves!!!
It’s so sad that people are willing to risk their lives and go to another country where you have no idea if you are truly being operated on by a doctor with the proper training and there is no risk for them and they know it. Don’t be foolish we have the medical boards here where you can find out if a doc is in good standing,
and remember cheap is not always in your best interest when it comes to your lives.

Listen to this woman and thankfully she shared her experience with others. I hope you were able to recover fully and are doing much better! Research your doc here in the states with the medical board to see if their license is current and their are no documented lawsuits pending.

More info

Ok I want to start by saying if you plan on going to Yily for anything please cancel your appointment now and find another doctor. I read many reviews where people felt as if she did not do their surgery and I am here to tell you that it is absolutely the truth. My sx was June 9 here it is June 21 and I am admitted in the hospital in the states for infection and skin necrosis. The areas where liposuction was done I was burned so severely that my skin died. Ok so upon arrival my friend who was getting sx as well was turned around and sent back due to an altercation with the immigration officer. We paid $10 just to enter country and when in line to get stamp the officer let someone of their nationality just walk over and jump in front of us as if we were not standing there and when we spoke up about it she got upset and my friend is not as good as I am with keeping her composure so they ultimately told her she could not enter and gave her a flight back. So after this I was picked up by the driver Jose who if you end up staying at Luxury rh you will find he is very nasty he does not really want to transport you anywhere and they give 5 star treatment to anyone who speaks their language and treats everyone else like garbage. The day I arrived I went and did all necessary blood work and screenings and then I was taken to Cipla to pay for my sx. Myself and 3 other girls were picked up at 4 am to go back to Cipla for sx. So ok guys I went there knowing that I read she does not perform some of these procedures needless to say I took the risk. Me and 4 others were taken to clinic I was getting TT,BBl,and Lipo another girl was getting exact same and the 2 others were getting breast jobs and lipo. The 2 with breast jobs were called ack together 5 minutes later the other girl was called then 5 minutes later I was called. I was put in a room with one of the first two girls who had already been given blue pill Yily came in marked me and then a guy came in with blue pill for me. Why are we getting this pill at same time when she is doing both of our work!!? Ok so after this I woke up doin sx I felt no pain but I felt myself being operated on I felt someone doing lipo in my bra fat area and I felt tugging on my stomach, how is it possible to do two areas at once when you're one person? I laid and remember thinking to myself just you've read all these reviews about her not being in the room just listen for her voice so I didn't even alert them I was woke. After 10 minutes or so of laying and only hearing 3 different male voices I never once heard a female and I have a picture with her and had spoke with her so I knew her voice. Finally a guy who had On no surgical uniform he had On slacks and a regular shirt walked by and looked down and saw my eyes were open that's when I was put back out. I came to in a recovery room next to the other girl who had the same procedures as me, why are we coming to at the same time when a TT takes approximately 4 hrs!? This means we had to be in sx at the same time. Everything went pretty fine in the clinic until I was told I had to have a blood transfusion which later on me and other girls decided that we feel they pretty much pick ppl to give transfusions to just so they can keep the $250 deposit because I felt absolutely fine which I know it's possible to feel ok but when you're there and see how they operate over there it's all about the money not your safety. Ok so when I was finally able to leave clinic and go to rh everything went pretty well until I just kept a headache for 3 days straight idk if it was stress or what cause it did go away once I got home. The rh girls saw my burn and took pictures to send to doctor so I know they knew I was messed up and when I went to my checkup I could clearly see Yily was upset and it seemed as if she knew it was a messed up situation. She prescribed me medication to put on it and some By mouth which I had to pay $100 for, why do I have to pay when you burned me!? As days progressed I just felt the need to get away from there because nobody really cares about what's going on and everybody acts dumbfounded and like they can't understand anything even if you don't speak English certain things are just universal. I had been putting cream she prescribed on 4x a day as she said and took medication until I didn't have to and I left and came home the 18th of June which I was initially supposed to stay til the 21 but I couldn't take it over there anymore. As days progressed the burn began to harden to the point it looks like beef jerky and feels like leather. I am actually writing this while in the hospital because I have high infection in my blood and something called skin necrosis in the areas where they burned me during lipo. I have also messaged Yily through her receptionist on real self I will attach screenshots of the conversation with me telling them I will be making sure to inform everyone of their poor practices over there. I will also show you guys my burns and keep you updated because the doctors are trying to see if they want to surgically debride the wound. I also have pics with me and her in them so I pray nobody gets under my review speaking foolishness because I have a lot on my mind and I really can take my anger out on just about anyone right now. If you don't have nothing nice or encouraging to say just keep it moving. If anyone has any questions feel free to message me i will answer you.
