Didn't take me to long to choose a doctor after going through reviews on real self . The doctor I decided to go with is dr Kenneth Hughes . My first consultation was extremely fast and on time . I went in talked to Lorena she's a total sweetheart talked a little about what procedures I'm looking to get . Once done with a few questions she left the room and de Hughes entered . He was a very kind confident gentleman asked me what procedures I desired . I told him I wanted the bbl I stood up he checked out my midsection and me I don't have too much fat so he might have to also remove some from my inner thighs . I told him I wanted a flat tight Tummy after the work was done and he was very honest and told me that bc I had loose skin from previous weight lost only way to achieve that was through a tummy tuck but I should probably wait until after having children . We talked about it a little more and we came to the conclusion that even if I wanted a tiight small waiste it was the only way and even though a lot of woman wait until child birth he said if I want it done I should do it and I should be fine even if I decided to have children down the line . Only negative part about my first consultation was he never looked at my butt to exam it at all . he just asked if I wanted a significant amount of fat transferred and I said yes . Might be normal but I'm sure he knows what he's doing . I decided to do it the tummy tuck and bbl payed everything and booked my surgery date . My date was for the 19th of oct. my second appointment was my Preop which I only spoke and met with Lorena I signed all the paper and was given my prescription and my instructions . A week later my surgery date is Monday the 19th the only sucky part was that I ended up gettin real sick with the flu so they are pushing it back to the 26th today I should get a confirmation from Lorena . so that's where I'm at today . The staff was very kind he shared a office at miko plastic surgery in Beverly Hills . Place wasn't bad the receptionist very kind . Responded to all my calls and emails quickly .

Good look girl...make sure to let him know exactly what you want as far as booty size. Show him some
Pics so he has an idea of size & degree of projection you are looking for.

Your pics dont show any loose skin. You sure they cant just do lipo on your tummy?
October 26, 2015
I can but he said to get the smallest tightest waist I would need tt but honestly I might ask for a mini tt my tummy jiggles and I completely want no tummy jiggle at all I work out so hard and can't get rid of the little loose skin I do have . I'm an exotic dancer so I definitely want to show my tummy with no rolls or anything at all . Tomorrow my op date so I'm going to discuss this with him one more time and see if we can eliminate the tt or maybe even the fat transfer . I'm so confused !!!

I had the same questions about having a tt. I have a little more belly than u had but no hanging belly, skin or scratch marks. I decided to just go for the lipo. Dr Jimerson is known for achieving amazing tiny waists. I am praying that I do not get loose skin after lipo. The tt was 5000 more so it wasn't any less for doing it together. I figured if I am not saying anything why not give it a try? So we will see in just 5 days!

Stretch I meant...
October 30, 2015
Definitely good luck I think either way u will love it I really wouldn't have minded a little loose skin like the average it wouldn't have even looked bad . Only reason I opted tt is bc I'm a dancer and well in the spotlight while everyone watches so I had to be a little more pickier with getting a really tight tummy . Honestly if I didn't dance I wouldn't have done it . Your going to do just fine enjoy it !!! And good luck !!
October 30, 2015
And something else u might have better skin than me and it's something u can go back and do if needed .

Very excited my doctor called me yesterday and told me that Friday is my day . I was kind of worries about having both procedures at same time and emailed dr Hughes . He emailed me back immediately and let me know not to worry he does them weekly . I'm in good hands ! I'm preparing myself my taking my multi vitamins and I also ordered pillows bed sheets and sheet guards . I heard the first few days could be a little messy . Tomorrow i will be buying the extra things that I will need after surgery which i will be posting a list and pics tomorrow . I'm so anxious and nervous I can't wait !

I just got both procedures done together and it really isn't that bad.
I read on here so many stories of how horrible recovery was & I was very scared but iv been on top of my Meds & feel great. Iv been resting a lot. I'm sure u will also be fine, good luck with everything!
October 21, 2015
What a relief thank u so much for telling me this . I been so nervous about it all . You just made me feel so much better .
October 21, 2015
I had both procedures done and it wasn't as bad as I read. I had TT, Lipo on 6 areas and BBL. The most painful was the back pain where they did Lipo but it was the first 3 days that were the worst. After the third day and after you are able to shower, you will feel so much better. I am 3 months post op and I look amazing. I am 5'3 weight before surgery 163 and after surgery 155 and still dropping. Not much of a difference but I know the fat is all in the right places. Keep us posted and we will keep you in our prayers. To a speedy recovery
October 22, 2015
Thanks for the kind words really needed it. I'm very excited and now thanks to all the support im just ready for it !! I'll definitely keep everyone posted thanks

My measurements before op

Ybella
So I wanted to post about my current size and what I'm hoping for after . I'm 5'3 158lbs might of gained a little more since I beer eating what I want lol my measurements are 34dd waist 33" and butt 42 " I know I just realized after measuring how big it already is so now I'm thinking should I even do it lol but really u just want a lift and a little more fullness . Ideally I would love to be a 27 waist and 44 behind but now I'm scared it might look way too big once my waist gets smaller yikes ! Lol I wouldn't want to be bigger than a 45" behind for sure. Here's a few more pics of my before....

Make sure you tell Dr Hughes exactly how big you want it. Mine came out bigger than I had hoped but I think I wasnt very clear with him. Make sure you are clear & he will deliver
October 20, 2015
Yes thanks I plan on emailing him some wish pics today and will tell him the sizes I'm hoping for .

Show it to him before you go into surgery so it's fresh in his mind
October 20, 2015
I will . Have you measured your butt yet ? If so how big is it ?
User Avatar
October 20, 2015
46" - it's too big & I'm unhappy so far. That's why I told you to be very clear with the doctor, cause once it's done, you're stuck with it. I'm on a strict diet cause that's the only thing that's going to make my butt smaller. You have a big butt like me (pre surgery), so be careful injecting too much
October 20, 2015
I think your ass look awesome it fits your body so nice . I know what you mean tho but honestly if u look on the bright side it might be better to end up with something u can shrink than something smaller u can't do anything about . A lot of the fat he injected probably survived . You look great don't be too hard on yourself I love it .
User Avatar

If it was smaller, they can always inject more with Round 2 BBL. But if it's too big, you're stuck with it. Thanks for the compliment, but I really don't like it. I'm so unhappy. I cry all the time...

who did your boobs?
October 20, 2015
Dr fisher . He's in Yorba Linda they are adjustable so I can shrink them or make them larger without removing the whole implant . They feel so natural also .
October 20, 2015
Www.bodybyfisher.com he did my boob sisters and cousins .

Hey, I just researched Dr. Fisher about the adjustable implants. I had no idea that existed. One of my biggest fear is the breast augmentation. Because the challenges of making corrections if I'm unhappy. Especially scared of encapsulated breasts and rippling etc. I have a few questions for you. I would appreciate your reply. I'm seriously considering doing just the bbl and tt with Dr. Hughes (since he is one of the best in those areas) and maybe doing the boobs with Dr. Fisher... 1. How do you like the adjustable implants? 2. What was the cost? 3. Have you adjusted the size since your surgery? If so, was there a fee to do so? Painful ? 4. Do you feel that valve under your skin/is it noticeable? 5. How was your recovery? I know... Sorry lots of Q's :~} but THANK YOU in advance girly!!
