WORTH IT$5,000

I am a 31 year old woman who has had 3 pregnancies and all via c- section. Leaving me with extra hanging skin. I researched doctors in the DR came across Dr. Yily de les santos. I was charged $5600 for my procedure including my recovery house stay. I had no consult with hercprior surgery. The day of surgery I met Dr. Yilly for the first time she never asked me what my expectations of this surgery were. She did not have anyone to translate. She marked me up and I had the surgery. A week out post op I developed a serious case of seroma when I returned home it persisted developing a capsule under my skin causing a bulge making me look as if I were pregnant. I was emotionally devestated and I would not advise anyone to go to Dr. Yily for any cosmetic procedure. I am not naturally large but I wanted a more sexier appearance. I am done having children and this tummy tuck is motivation to get my sexy back and first step to the new me.

I initially went to the Dominican Republic and had my tummy tuck procedure with Dr. Yily de les santos who botched my tummy tuck and left me with a deformity. I then researched the doctors in the United States and my local area Dr. Alspaugh is the best and he left me with a beautiful result. The staff is excellent, and they are compassionate to the needs of their patients. Its only been 3 weeks post I have much swelling but once the swelling subsides my results and shape will improve.

Looks great! I was going to go to the DR for surgery until I talked to someone who was there just before I was about to leave that said some girls were in the hospital from an infection. So I decided to not to go.

2 months post op! Be mindful to drink plenty of water and eat healthy. Waist train ladies to train you waist and to help with reducing swelling. I still swell here and there but every week its gets better and you see your results improve more every month.
