A Few Months to Go! - Culver City, CA

Okay, so for about 2 years now I have been researching on this site. I have seen fabulous results and some not so fabulous. After some time and a little self motivation, I consulted with a few doctors (I.e. Dr Kim from Los Angeles, Dr Cortes from Houston, Dr Schulman from NYC, and Dr Hughes from LA) and they were all great and thought they could make wonderful things happen for me. But ultimately I decided to trust Dr Hughes with this procedure. I am 5'7" give or take and 160lbs. Dr Cortes asked me to gain about 20 lbs for the procedure and I couldn't do that. Plus, all the other surgeons said they could get ATLEAST 1000cc to each cheek and even have enough for hip projection with my current weight. So I crossed Cortes from my list. Then I was looking here on RS some of these docs before and agrees and Dr Hughes seemed to be the most consistent in his work. I emailed him and everytime he responded sometimes in minutes and 2 hours at the most later. I could barely get a hold of Dr Kim. Oh, and Cortes' office was all over the place. Most of them didnt had the slightest clue what was going on or even how to speak to prospective patients. Anywho, Dr Hughes it was for me. He quoted me $12,500 for arm, flanks, inner thigh, lateral thigh, full back, and abdominal liposuction with fat graphing to hips and buttocks. I applied for CareCredit, I am a student so I don't have $12,500 cash. I was instantly approved and put the $500 down for my surgery. I already have my hotel booked and paid so there is no turning back!! I considered flying to Los Angeles. It is a 20+ hour drive and only a 6 hr flight. But after a lot of thought, I decided driving will be cheaper and it would be a fun experience for me and my boyfriend since we've never been out of state together. Plus I'm staying in Cali for 9 days and by then , from what I've read anyways, I should be feeling a whole lot better. And we can even take breaks and stop at a hotel on the way back! I'm so excited - dont really feel any nerves yet but I guess it's still super early and I have 4 months for those nerves to catch up to me. I will post my before pics along with my first post op photo just because as I researched on here I hated getting my hopes up to see post op pics and transformations when there were only wish pics and befores. I will however post some of my wish photos for my own purpose to look back after the procedure ! If anyone is scheduled or even considering Hughes as their PS for BBL , hit me up!

I will be adding more. I was too worried about fitting in the mirror on these I wasn't able to get good shots. And the butt one is just a way to create a mirage ;)
