Let $(M,g)$ a compact Riemannian $n$-dimensional manifold. It is well know that, under certain hypothesis, in the conformal class of $g$ there are scalar-flat metrics that have $\partial M$ as a constant mean curvature hypersurface. Also, under certain hypothesis, it is known that these metrics are a compact set. In this paper we prove that, both in the case of umbilic and non-umbilic boundary, if we linearly perturb the mean curvature term $h_{g}$ with a negative smooth function $\alpha,$ the set of solutions of Yamabe problem is still a compact set.
