Fat Transfer to Hips Only with Dr. Hughes (round 2 bbl).. Beverly Hills, CA

Lots of weight fluctuation over the past 7 months! I dropped all the way down to my original weight of 135 and then decided I had lost too much even though I still had a decently curvy shape. I decided to go on a super high calorie diet, and have put on about 8 pounds in two weeks. I mean, eating a TON of calories.. I think I crested close to 6000 one day! Luckily, all healthy stuff... Keeping a close eye on how much sugar I consume etc. Most calories from dietary fats, nutritious foods and raw vegetables.. Carbs and sugar in moderation. A lot of dairy fat.

I have consistently taken measurements over the past two weeks on this little crusade:

Lowest weight since before round one, two weeks ago
135lbs - 37/27/37

After two weeks of trying to gain weight (I am pretty good at this weight gain thing I guess!)
147lbs - 38/28/39

So there you have it- what they say about gaining weight back in the areas of a fat transfer really is true. The fact that most of it went to my hip measurement proves that it's not water weight. And, my waist is staying nice and trim even with the 8lbs fat gain. 2 solid inches found a solid affinity for my backside, and hips as well. Hmm.. I think I may see what just a few more lbs will do ;) I feel close to my ideal at this weight, though.

It's been pretty funny (and exciting) with a few of my roommates who have noticed that my butt suddenly seemed to inflate over the past couple of weeks. My boyfriend is going nuts, and so am I.

Realistically I think I lost a bit in the hip department since my last update at 3 months. I kind of expected this, since most agree that the permanent results can be seen at around 6 months and they say that due to the lack of thick muscle in the area the fat has a lower chance of survival. However, the difference is probably not noticeable to anyone but me or someone looking at progress photos. My butt is still round, just not as poofed out on the sides as it once was. That's okay, it's still huge.

Included are some photos in the dress that I wore during my 3.5 week update, you can see that the curves are still alive and well. Very happy camper over here, and hope you enjoy the update!

Since just before surgery, I have lost at least 20lbs. My measurements are now 27/39. Waist/hip ratio is 0.69. VERY happy that things seem to be holding solid around my hips. My figure is by far better than ever :)

Abdomen is super smooth with zero skin irregularities or knots, and my waist has never been smaller (even though I am still 10lbs heavier than I was beginning this whole process two surgeries and a year ago).

I was a little worried that losing so much weight would set me back in the hip department, but things seem to be coming down equally (a lot around the waist, too). Dr. Hughes worked some magic on me, my starting measurements were 29/36 and today I am 27/39 at a very healthy weight for my height and frame (5'8" w/ slight frame)

My hip curve is subtle, but it's exactly what I wanted which is to feel balanced top to bottom. I have an athletic build with a generous amount of lean muscle mass up top, so a little bit of curve goes a long way and everything looks very natural to me. My butt is perky and perfectly round, crazy slender waist, and with the weight loss my upper body and face has returned to slim as well.

Very happy camper here, hope you enjoy the update!

I have lost a bit of weight since the procedure, down to 158 from 165. The work Dr. Hughes did to contour my waist further is fantastic, and I am suuuper happy!

Still staying off of my butt per the Dr's instructions, and sleeping flat on my stomach. My neck hurts! I can't wait to sit again!!!
