my long awaited review 1 year post-op
Hi dolls well here it is for those of you who have been messaging me asking about my TT revision and Dr Hughes. I have been suffering from depression, anxiety, stress over this dam TT. As u guys can see on my previous post at 5 weeks I was complaining about me having this pouch. Since day 1 I just knew something was wrong with my TT it just did not look normal I felt like I was just not tight and had extra skin. I waited a couple of months to see if maybe it was just swelling and nope here I am 2 year post op looking terrible. I seen Dr Hughes around a month ago to discuss my revision went to go see him at his new location as soon as he seen me of course he remembered me I'm the patient he left looking like crap from her TT he did not look happy or thrill to see me at ALL! First thing he says
"I'm tired of doing revisions for Boris", I was like excuse me Boris! no hunny u did my surgery! And Why would he say that I have no idea! Then he starts telling me "till this day I have not gotten paid by Boris clinic for your TT" and I'm sitting there like and! Like seriously that is none of my business here I am feeling and looking like crap after your Tummy tuck and your telling me you have not gooten paid by Boris like o well that's none of my business you choose to work with him back then Not me! Then he starts telling me how he is going to sue Boris for millions like OK u do your thing I'm here to talk about the crappy stomach u did not about your personal issues with Boris. Then we finally talk revision and he is not really nice about it and upset! Like it's my fault! Then he tells me I will need approximately 2" inches of skin removed and have to pay anesthesia and tells me but you still might not be happy! However little did he know I already had gotten a couple of 2nd opinions from other plastic surgeons. I have been told that I need a full Tummy tuck revision not no little TT like what Hughes wants to give me! Then I tell Dr Hughes I say "But Dr I feel like I need a Full Tummy Tuck Revision not a mini" oh and what does Dr Hughes tells me "we'll are you going to pay for a full tummy tuck" like seriously real self ladies how have u would had taken that? I took it as " Yes you sure do need a full tummy tuck revision but since you are only paying for anesthesia I am only making you a mini TT and removing 2" inches" of course he says I still might not be happy after a revision cause he sure knows I need a full TT not a mini! I have decided I am better of just doing my revision with a nother Dr someone who specializes in TUmmy tucks because ladies every Dr specializes in something different as for Dr Hughes he is an expert for the BBL yes from my butt I have no complains however he sucks ladies at Tummy Tucks! He is not a tummy tuck pro like he is with the BBL he is not aggressive when he does his Tummy Tucks and does not remove enough skin like he did with me! That's why I decided to just Go with an expert for Tummy tucks and save my time,money and tears!! Why go back to him and get a mini when he knows well I need a full! I will keep u posted ladies on my revision please pray for me!

Dr. Hughes no longer works at Culver city
I was patiently waiting for my 6 month appointment due to the fact that I need a revision last time I seen Dr Hughes he said he will see me at 6 months for my revision. The day finally comes for my appointment took the day off at work since im pretty far from Culver city they even called me the day b4 to confirm my appointment. I get there see Olga and what does she tell me Dr. Hughes is no longer here...I'm sitting there like WTF is this a joke! Like why did no one bother on calling me to tell me he is no longer here ig they new my appointment is with dr hughes and he is my Dr. Then here comes Boris some other Dr don't know his name and even Adam come in to my room. Dr Boris sees my stomach and tells me he feels sorry for me and for the sloppy work Dr. Hughes did tells me he did not take enough skin of and that even my scar needs a revision and that unfortunately he cannot fix me because he was not my Dr. And that because originally I had request in my paper work to get my surgery done by Dr Hughes because I had found him on realself and went to him based on the reviews and that he is not a real self Dr!! Then Adam gives me Dr. Hughes new address and tells me go to him he needs to fix you he was your Dr. Like really I know that what upsets me is that I was never told called emailed or anything that was very unprofessional them not contacting me to let me know. Adam said well Dr. Hughes said he was going to contact all his patients and let them know about him moving. Well I never got a call and that's bs because later on I called my friends 2 of them who also had tummy tuck with Dr. Hughes and they had no idea never got a call text or email they we're also surprised! UGH what a waste of my day I'm just stressed I really need my tummy fixed I'm so depressed over this. Now I need to take a nother day off and make an appointment to see Dr. Hughes at his new location.
Need a revision!!
Hello Ladies sorry I have been MIA I have been depressed, upset, embarrassed to post anything on Realself. But after all this is "Realself" were we are opened and honest! I seen Dr. Hughes a couple of weeks ago. I emailed him concern about my tummy not being flat and having a pooch. I emailed him pictures and I vent to him of how I was feeling! He said to please come in. Lucky I already had an appointment that same day to see Olga he said just let Olga know to get me. I see Olga and she says " so what is going on since last time I seen you" and I say well I have a concern i still have this pooch and I were my garmet /faja 24/7 as u suggested I never take it of only to shower. She says let me see. As I get undressed she said the magic word "Even a blind person can noticed that pooch u have" let me go get Dr Hughes. I'm waiting in the room and I'm shaking, sad, upset all kind of mixed emotions. Dr Hughes sees me and tells me. Yes u need a revision :( I was happy but sad at the same time. Happy that he is going to
take care of it but sad just to go thru all this all over again! He said "I'm not a magician and took as much skin as I was able too. He said I need around 2-3" inches of more skin removed. And that I will have to wait 6 months. My revision will be in September he said It will not be a hard recovery like my Full TT since he will not be doing a full TT or muscle repair on me. Olga was surprised and said Dr Hughes hardly ever has revisions and that he the best surgeon at Boris. And u know what YES HE IS!!! Which was why I had choose him out of all the 10 drs I had seen! But unfortunately this happens in every 10% of patients and lucky me with my damn luck I was in that 10%!! I'm embarrassed with my sisters/ friends/ family who know I got a TT and see me with this big Tummy! I can even were I tight dress which had always been my dream because I don't look good at all. The thought of the $$$$ I have spend for this ugh just upsetting I have cried my self too sleep just thinking why why me! I just hope and pray after the revision I am happy. I have so much loose skin that I'm worried the mini tummy tuck will not be enough..... I will keep u ladies posted I have posted pics of my loose/extra skin for u ladies to see.
