WORTH IT$16,000
Since I already had my procedure I'm going to try and breakdown my experience in steps and hopefully some of you will find it helpful. A little back ground on myself is I'm 28 years old, 4'11, 98 lbs. Yes, I'm pretty petite. Two reasons I decided to get this procedure done: 1) Not only am I petite but I also don't look my age. Many women tell me to be grateful because it'll come in handy when I'm older but when you have High School kids and 21 year old's hitting on you it get's annoying and sad. I'm in the legal field so a lot of people also judge me on looking young and think I don't have the experience. I'm hoping that with a bit more curves it'll change things. 2) I love vintage, 40's and 50's. I love the look of pin-up girls but most of these women are curvy and voluptuous so I'm sure you can imagine how I feel every time I go shopping at vintage stores and my boobs or butt do not fill out the dress. Overall, I didn't want anything crazy. I recognize that I have a small frame and was looking for something that would look full and compliment it.

Consultation
Pre-Consultation: Before my consultation with Dr. Hughes I looked at RealSelf and his website. I read up on his background and made sure he had all the board certifications that are recommended. In looking at his website I noticed he had a list price ranges for each procedure. What?! No doctor ever does that. They usually try to lure you in and get your info before they give out prices. I felt the transparency of his prices was a good sign that he was not out to rip anyone off and priced according to the amount of work that needed to be performed. I did not take any wish pictures because I want the doctor to focus on my body and how they can work with what I’ve got. He has consultations Tuesday or Thursday’s and they are free!
Consultation: Upon arriving the receptionist was very polite and I signed in. Dr. Hughes shares his office I think 4 other doctors so the waiting area was pretty packed. I waited about 30 minutes before I was called in then waited another 15 minutes before seeing the Dr. Once I met Dr. Hughes he was very professional, thanked me for waiting and we got right into it. First I explained what I was looking for and after hearing me out he did a physical view of my breasts, stomach and buttocks and began hitting each point of what he could do for me and what he recommended.
BA: Since I have a small frame I was looking for something small (Full A or Small B cup) so that I wouldn’t look fake but proportionate. I was thinking Silicone implants and I was still up I the air about where the incision should be. Dr. Hughes quickly recommended I go for a Full B cup and estimated between 275-300cc. In his experience he found that when women go small most of them regret it later and want a fuller look and get revisions, which cost more money. I took this into consideration but was not convinced, I felt that maybe it would be too big. He agreed on silicone implants and recommended my incision be under the breast since my breasts naturally already had a flap/crease.
BBL: I had no idea how many cc’s I wanted but I knew I wasn’t looking for a Kardashian butt, just something more plump. Since I’m skinny a lot of my family members were asking where the fat would come from but my stomach is deceiving. I love beer so I had a little beer belly and some love handles. Upon looking at my stomach Dr. Hughes right away said, “Ohh yeah I can get plenty of fat for a BBL”, haha. He estimated about 600 cc per buttocks.
I liked that Dr. Hughes could do both procedures in one surgery. That would mean less OR costs and less time off. Most people decide not to do bot because it is a hard recovery. If I did these procedures separately then I would have had to pay for the OR and anesthesiologist twice. I asked to see some silicone implants to get an idea of how they feel and about what size I would be getting. He then described a little bit about each procedure and when I didn’t have any more questions he said his assistant Lorena would be in to talk price and other details.
Lorena: Lorena is living proof of Dr. Hughes work. She’s not only his assistant but she also got a BA and BBL done at the same time by Dr. Hughes. This was awesome to see because I got to ask her soo many questions and first hand see his work. She explained the pricing and Dr. Hughes gave me a pretty good deal. She also explained my financing options with them. She was very informative and answered a lot of my questions regarding her personal procedure and how she recovered. She even provided me with websites to find different things. Once of my main questions was sleeping and how she did it. She recommended buying a lilo made for pregnant ladies so they can sleep on their bellies. It’s a plastic inflatable with a hole in it where instead of your belly you put your butt through the hole so you can sleep on your back.
I left their office feeling very comfortable and most of all excited. Other than the sizes I felt sold on what Dr. Hughes had to offer. I went home and researched more on him from reviews on yelp, realself, his time at Boris, and again his website. I saw nothing but good things. Some bad reviews I did see were regarding his cocky attitude and some people felt rushed. Having had my consultation I could see why they thought he was cocky but in my time with him I feel it was more confidence and the fact that he doesn’t make small talk. He’s straight to the point and tells you exactly what he thinks. Another review I found was a girl not happy with her BBL results. She posted this on Realself but never supplied any pictures. I took it into consideration but BBL’s are very tricky because it’s not an implant and any doctor cannot guarantee how much fat your body will accept. BBL’s also require a lot of recovery time because you can’t sit and you never known how diligent these patients were in taking care of their booty. Other then 2 or 3 negative reviews he has hundreds of great reviews and his clients overall were very happy with his work. The negative reviews were also nothing like my doctor botched my surgery or some type of malpractice which was a plus.
I called to make my other consultation and they informed me that the doctor would not do both procedures at the same time. This doctor also charged $200 for a consultation! I only met with Dr. Hughes but my gut was telling me he was the one. I thought about it for a week and decided to go with Dr. Hughes. (I think what was also a selling factor was that he wore a Marvel scrub cap ;) ).

Pre-OP Appointment
At this appointment there weren’t a lot of people there but I still waited about 30 minutes or more to see the doctor. The waiting times at Dr. Hughes office suck but looking back he answers emails 24/7 and any time I had my appointment he never rushed me out the door and stayed until he answered all my questions so I would expect he do the same for everyone. So be prepared to wait, it’s worth it. At this appointment we went over all the final details of the surgery itself, procedure and sizes. I mentioned before I was reluctant on the sized he recommended but I decided to trust his judgment and go for his recommendations. He answered several questions I had and then I was off to finalize financial details with Lorena. I paid for my surgery in full and she walked me through what I had to do and bring on the day of surgery, what to wear, etc. She also gave me my prescriptions.
