1 yr PO Review
Happy New Year everyone!
As I promised, I am back to update 1 year since I have had the BBL. I really still don't see a lot of reviews post 1 yr and want to contribute my experience so everyone can determine the long term results. I will say that each body is different. As for me, I have never been able to keep fat on my body for long in my 43 years, and it's no difference I supposed that the fat transferred to my butt has also diminished some more after 1 year and 9 days post op (who's counting lol). Most I feel is due to normal weight loss and some is just wasn't meant to stay in the butt.
So I lost some weight...am back at my pre-surgery weight 122 (was 126-127bls at my 8-mon po update). I must say my butt was still nice and had upper fullness at 8 months, but since then in the last couple of months, some of the upper fullness is now gone and with gravity, fat is always going to settle down and isn't always going to be bubbly like the first several months out of surgery. I do miss that a lot!!! Here are my current measurements. I really lost a little over an inch in my butt and for someone who's not big and doesn't have any butt to begin with, that is really sad to see it go. I am trying to eat to gain a few more pounds (no more than 4) to see if my butt can fill out a bit more.
1 year measurements:
Waist 27.5 (down half inch from 8 months po)
Belly button waist 28 3/4 (down almost an inch since 8 mon - good for the waist area, not good for the butt)
Butt 37 3/4 (down by 1 1/4 inch from 8 mon po)
Weight 122 (126 at 8 mon)
Here are new pictures. I am still happy with the surgery and would do it again if I had money or the fat and yes I would absolutely go back to Dr. Hughes again. Even after a year, I love the back scoop that he did and it helps give my butt more shape. For now, no more surgery, I am going to keep doing squats to maintain my shape. As you can see compared to my pre-op pic, I am still a lot better than what I started with.
May you all have a fabulous 2015. I may not update again unless there's something worth sharing. PM me if you have questions. Bye!

8 Month PO update
Hi everyone! Hope you have been enjoying the summer.
Not much has changed other than the fluffy fairy has came and went and now I think the fatty fairy is making her residence in my chin, gut and thighs:)
My measurements now are:
Natural Waist 28
Waist at belly button 29.5
Butt 39
Weight 126
This summer I have been indulging a bit in eating out and I feel areas where I didn't have lipo done or much fat taken out are the places I see bulges appearing. So yes it is possible to gain weight after lipo and with certain places not lipo'd will be looking lumpy because fat goes there first. I must admit I also haven't been exercising much other than 30 min walks in the evening. I may need chin lipo in a couple of years as no exercise will help that:)
I used to think I would love another 200cc or so fat in my butt but I'm happy at its current size. Finding dress pants for work where I don't need a belt continues to be a challenge.
Anyhow, just wanted to update that the booty is still there. I do get a lot more stretch marks now and you can see in my pics. My next update will be at a year mark.

Dr. Hughes is always so responsive. I met him for consult twice and I emailed him a couple of times after that before booking with him. He always replies email within seconds. I always felt he was the right doctor for me from seeing results he has done on other girls. He is very honest about what he will do. And he exceeded my expectations.
