Finslly Posting my Review- Botched Lipo and BBL by Dr Yily. Dominican Republic, DO

I chose Dr Yily because of all the amazing reviews. My body prior to surgery wasn't bad. I was just over 9 stone and had a bit of extra fat on my tummy and back. My bum was okay but I kinda had no hips. I wanted to look a bit curvier, but mostly just slimmer. Oh, and I wanted my thighs lipoing too- the inner, back and knees. But again, nothing drastic, just to slim me down and give me a nicer shape.
I'm not joking, it's December now and I feel sick to my stomach with anxiety when I see my body in the mirror st times.
Since my surgery I've read reviews about people who don't feel that they were operated on by Dr Yily. There's no way that such a talented Dr with this many reviews would so totally mess me up like this.
She was also incredibly rude during the consultation and if I hadn't already paid my deposit (you had to pay even before meeting her even though I was in the DR at the time) I would have backed out. She spent literally about 5 minutes with me, scoffed when I showed her my wish pic (who does that?!?) and I genuinely did try to get some kind of rapor going- it's important to be able to discuss any concerns with your doc but she really just didn't want to know.
Another reason why I don't feel that she herself does all the surgeries is that on the day of my surgery there were a good 7 or 8 of us all having surgery- BBLs, tummy tucks, breast lifts. Everyone was combining. It's not possible to operate on all of those people single handedly in one day. It just isn't.
I really hope me posting my pictures and my review will help others to learn from my mistakes.
I'm hoping to go back to the DR in January to have Dr Goicho fix what's been done. I just want to look normal again. Sometimes I feel like I'm being punished for not being happy with what I was born with, it's not like there was anything wrong with me before.

Awful. Less than ten minutes spent with me. I don't like saying it but had a really arrogant attitude, like she really did not want to be there. Kinda laughed to herself when I showed her my wish pics. If I hadn't already paid my deposit I'd have been out of there. I now wish I'd have said bigger to the deposit I'm off to find someone who will actually look after me. Honestly one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made.

omg this is just terrible but not strange at all...how soon after surgery did you realize the lumping and how does Dr Goicho propose to correct it?
I am so sorry this happened to you. What was her explanation?
Because she was so rude, and had nothing to say after the surgery- it was clear there was something wrong right at the start- I didn't bother. I wouldn't allow her to touch me after what happened.
I am so sorry this happened to you. Is the other Doctor who is going to fix this affiliated with her practice?
Dr. Goico works at a different plastic surgery center. No infections, no deaths, and is great with bedside manner.
Hi, how come you're answering my posts please? Thanks
Just trying to be helpful to all but I will refrain from further posting on your review out of respect as it doesn't seem it is welcomed. Positive vibes on your surgery and healing in the future.
Hi, posting helpful stuff is fine. I just don't want anyone to use my review (and pain) into something that promotes another Dr. Sometimes people/ businesses use this site to promote and I don't want that on my review. I created this to discuss what happened to me and to warn others. I hope that makes sense. Thanks and positive vibes right back at ya' :)
I'm so glad you posted this, I've been looking for real reviews and not that I wanted to find something negative but I wanted to consider all aspects!
I honestly don't think she performed the surgery. She was never in the operating room at the start, and I woke up at the finish. Same thing. x
Did you get massages after surgery?
Yes, 10. Which is what I was told to do. Did everything they said.
Are you wearing a tight garment with board ....try getting more massages and see if it helps ....
