My first BBL with Dr. Hughes did not go as planned...

My first BBL with Dr. Hughes did not go as planned. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying he's a bad doctor or anything it just didn't work out for me.
Likes:
-with clothes on my shape overall is good
-I have more projection/nice side view
- stomach looks good lying down
Dislikes:
- lower back & abdomen flat while top bulges over
-right hip dent
-wavy flanks/bulge
-square buttocks frontal view
-lump on each side on lower back
At 6 months I inquired about a revision with him and showed him my areas of concern. He told me:
1. Everyone has high hopes after surgery
2. I look dramatically better
3. I need a tummy tuck
4. Lipo will make it all worse
5. Fat transfer may not work
6. The bumps/dents/bulges are not the result of anything he did
At this point I was super disappointed bc I already felt deformed but now my hope of fixing it was crushed. I went for a second opinion with Dr Hazani however and he restored my hope! He was confident he could fix it all:) not just that but he was going to do even more than just fix it(which had me ecstatic bc after talking to Dr Hughes I felt these things were impossible and at best I may only be able to smooth out the bumps & dents). He said he could even curve my back, add lower triangle cleavage, add as much more projection as he is able too, round out my buttocks & give me a smooth hourglass shape with a small waist. Yayyy!! Now I'm just hoping Round 2 recovery isn't as bad as Round 1 lol

So glad Dr Hazani can fix you up! How long ago was your bbl? And what was your height and weight before and now (if you don't mind saying)? Thanks!
User Avatar
January 11, 2016
Thanks girl:) My BBL was march 2015 so a little less than a year ago. My height is 5 foot 3 inches and my weight before was 170lbs and now is 165 lbs.

I saw you got 1350 cc per on your first bbl with Hughes. Did it seem the right size at first (and went down) or was it obvious you needed more from the beginning? I am a couple inches taller and similar weight and wondering about size with Hazani. Sch for Feb 5th, thanks!
User Avatar
January 13, 2016
My size didn't change too much it was more the shape. I didn't want a huge butt to begin I really just wanted a round projected booty. Initially it was too big I got a little scared...that was maybe the first 3 weeks. I felt like I had to hide it because I'd catch people looking and friends would ask questions so I got paranoid lol After that the size change wasn't noticeable really. I would say 20-25% the 1st 3 weeks and 5-10% after that. From the beginning I did not like the front or side shape but I understood it needed to heal and soften up or "fluff". It was very tight, flat, boxy and high up initially.Once it was done healing the side view was nice but the front was horrible. I def think I held at least 70% of it but I really do not like the shape. I asked Dr Hazani how much more I need to acheiev my wish pics and told me alot of Dr's put tons of cc's but it doesn't doesn't come out right. He said it's more dependent on how you put them in & shape it. Makes sense as I see some dr's make round projected bootys on medium sized girls with less than 1000 cc's yet there some injecting 1500 and it's still not too round or projected

Makes sense. Hazani seems to have an "artistic" eye for lack of a better term. His lipo is excellent and his shapes are beautiful imo. I consulted in person with your dr for round 1, but didn't really "click" with me I guess? Honestly, I can't even tell what your shape is from your pics lol.
User Avatar
January 13, 2016
I totally agree! It really is that artistic skill that produces those great results with this particular procedure. Ya I know what you mean it didn't click with me either and I didn't like alot of things to begin with but I didn't know any better and figured this was just how it goes with plastic surgery and figured as long as I get the results it's ok then all failed:/! Ya I need to figure a way to take pics without having to scribble all my tattoos or maybe do it in way where you can still see. I'm thinking of taking pics with really thin clothes on or a 1 piece bathing suit so everyone can get a better picture

Oh nice! Very possible because I know the first post-op appointment for you may be around that time! So excited for us! Just cant wait to get it over with haha
January 18, 2016
WOW!!!! I hope everything goes well for your round 2. I have the same exact issues as you. I also had my first round with Dr. Hughes in April 2015, and will be having round 2 with Dr Hazani as well. I was left with weird looking bulge, dents, and also two knots in each butt cheek. When I contacted Dr. Hughes, he told me the knots were most likely scar tissue and they should go away with massage and over time. I had my consultation with Dr. Hazani back in August of last year. Before I could explain to him the concerns I had from my first BBL, he took one look at me and told me what was wrong (uneven hips, one buttock larger than the other. Square shape etc.) He assured me he would be able to correct the issues as well. I'm going to have a breast reduction/lift performed by him first before my round 2 BBL. Hope it turns out well. I wish you the best for a successful outcome

Same here and I have run into a handful of other RS ladies who have experienced the same thing:( I have those knots too but one on each side of my hips! Dr. Hazani was the same with me he knew exactly what was wrong and said he can do even more than I would've ever thought possible! I can't wait for our surgeries and to finally get this over with! thanks hun wishing you the best as well:) you're gonna look great!

November 30, 2016
Dr. Hazani is great. He corrected the concerns I had and made my butt look really good. I wish I would have fine to him first. Thinking of going back for a round 3 just to get rid of this annoying bra roll and just have him add the fat to my butt
User Avatar
November 30, 2016
Yes try a consultation with him he is great!
User Avatar
November 30, 2016
Yes same here!!!! I really wish I had gone to him first :( I heard from another person an additional round from him doesn't cost as much as the first.

I'm in the same boat as you! I had my bbl with Dr. Hughes 12/2014 your story sounds just like mine! He's just rude! And he's no good!!!

Wow I am so sorry to hear that!! It makes me sad:/ crazy how I've had at least 5 other girls on here say they experienced the same thing with him too!!! I know how you feel girl!!

How many cc,s did u get the first time?

1350 cc's each cheek:)
User Avatar
January 12, 2016
Doesn't look like it though:/ I saw yours was 800 but looks nice it's way fuller & rounder I'm hoping for that in my round 2!
January 12, 2016
Even if it's not as huge as you might like it to be, you will be satisfied with the over all shape of your body. FYI be careful what you ask his for. I told him I was more interested in contouring than a big butt & He contour the hell out of my body...Lol. I'm still amazed by my result & loving it more & more each day. Good luck doll, I will be following ur journey.

January 12, 2016
Perfect! I don't want mine huge at all becuase I'm not that tall I really just it round and projected. Awesome I can't wait! Thank you hun I am following yours as well:)

Question for Hazani BBL vets

User Avatar
BootyHopeful
Last time I was naked and wiped down with a sponge that had cold iodine looking fluid on it in the operating room prior to surgery. After I had to get on the operating table without touching it with my arms and then anesthesia was administered. Am I going to have to do this again it was scary and uncomfortable lol Actually this was the worst part of the whole process for me! Not sure if this is standard protocol or if it depends on the Dr.

Amen! I asked on a couple reviews, Island Kitty and CHelz I think, and they were very reassuring. I know what you mean though, that description you wrote sounds like what I hear in DR and Miami :(

Yes Amen!! So glad bc it doesn't sound that bad but it really freaked me out lol

i had surgery with dr hazani in nov 2015. my experience was not like that at all, you are wiped down while you are under, the staff is very nice,making sure you are comfortable,talking to you,putting you at ease. you see hazani, he marks on your body with a marker,then you go back to the operating room area, the nice nurse asks you to pee in a cup, then you hop on the table while the people are talking to you, get an iv, then right after get the meds administered in your iv to make you sleepy and in 2 seconds you are out. i woke up on my stomach,i was glad but it did make my face extremely swollen,causing my eyes to swell up pretty bad, i must have had an eyelash or dust in my eye cuz it hurt, being swollen and unable to naturally wash out whatever i had in my eye. it was better the next morning. you will do fine, Dr Hazani is a very good dr. good luck!! p.s. i took ginger supplements to help with nausea,i took them at midnite the night before surgery. i didnt get nauseous luckily,dont know if it was the ginger or not. the nausea meds dr hazani prescribes dissolve in your mouth quickly. i didnt need them thankfully
User Avatar
January 18, 2016
Oh wow good to know!! Sounds like they make you very comfortable. last time I woke up on my back I wonder if I'll wake up on my stomach this time. My eyes were super swollen last time too for like 2 days haha I need to get some of the ginger supplements thats a good idea! I'm so glad they are oral because they last time I had nausea suppositories and they refused to go in after a BBL lol
User Avatar
January 18, 2016
Oh geez, I can't even imagine sticking a suppository up that big old sore booty! Or having someone else do it O_o ugh..
User Avatar
January 18, 2016
Yea I tried and my cheeks were hard as a rock and would not even open lol I was only nauseas the first few days which was when the booty was the most sensitive! I had to suffer but I'm so glad this time we will be given oral medication!:)
User Avatar
January 19, 2016
I think the zofran he gives us is the kind that dissolves real quick in your mouth (had it once when I got food poisoning gross) so if you're heaving it stops it immediately. Also, they can give you something in your iv when they put you to sleep to help. Make sure you mention it to the anesthesiologist.

January 19, 2016
PS, that's also the most expensive rx I think but so worth it imo
User Avatar
January 19, 2016
Good to know it's fast acting! Ya I told them last time and they put it in my IV but it didn't work:/ definitely worth the money being nauseas 24/7 & throwing up for days is the worst!
User Avatar
February 6, 2016
Now I can say for sure that didn't happen. Hopefully r will be working better this weekend and I will write about it. It was actually calm and pleasant. Respectful
And everyone was so positive, smiling and laughing. Excellent imo

February 6, 2016
Wow great to hear bc I'm getting nervous lol more nervous than round 1 ahhhh! Nervous about the ride home bc I have a small car, nausea, drainage( dr hazani told me he's leaving the front 2 holes open) and days 2-4 of pain lol
User Avatar
February 6, 2016
Days 1-4 you mean ;). But I feel way better than yesterday I'm walking around a lot. Also I got the pea and am not using it. Sitting backwards on the toilet with booty not touching is very comfortable
User Avatar
February 6, 2016
Oops yes 1-4 Hahaa! Oh that's good!!! For some reason I felt worse the 2nd day...maybe I needed to do more walking I tried but I was so nauseas:/ good to know! I'm gonna try sitting backward bc I didn't like using the female urinalysis thing I mean it worked and all but it just felt weird lol
User Avatar
February 8, 2016
And that toilet position is nice because it approximates sitting (no pressure on booty just thighs) and is such a relief. I lean against the back sometimes and it feels so good on my back.

I'm def gonna be doing this tomorrow when have to pee 20 million times haha

You are not supposed to take ginger before anethesia and I would not reccomend it to others it can increase bleeding and interfere with the anesthesia

Oh no! Ok thank you for the info:)
