3 months post op

  • 26 Jul 2016
  • 3 months post
It's been 3 months post op and I'm still healing. Things are still getting situated but Im still in love with my body. For my bbl I looked at my pictures from 6 weeks and I feel it went down a little bit but not by much. You can see the pics and be the judge. It's more then j had before and I'm happy how i look with and without clothing! All my lipo areas I feel are still healing. I had some sharp pains when stretching and sometimes those areas would get really hot but Dr. Hughes as always replied immediately and said it was normal and it's the scar tissue. I have most but not all feeling in my lower back. As for my BA these ladies are still trying to settle in. They have definitely dropped since the last review but i feel they have a bit more to go. I still don't have full sensation around my nipples but it's slowly coming back. My only complaint are my scars. Nothing to do with Dr. Hughes, they are just really dark and that's my skins healing factor. He said they will still lighten but right now my lipo and BA scars are very dark and noticeable. Hopefully now that I'm at 3 months and could start scar cream it will fade faster. Hope this helps RealSelf peeps!

6 Weeks

Finally made it. My six week mark was last Friday. To be completely honest I felt very awkward trying to sit again. It felt wrong and like I wasn't suppose to. So far I've been fully sitting on a pillow. Dr. Hughes advised me to sit but avoid hard surfaces. It's like re-training your butt to sit again. Most of my butt is soft except for the top middle. You can feel it's a bit harder when you sit. I wasn't going to put new photos up but Dr. Hughes said at this point my butt will stay where it's at. So I'll put pics now so in a couple months I can compare and see if it's gotten any smaller after being able to sit. I'm also posting some before and after. You can see that the swelling has gone down and my butt is smaller. At this point I'm still happy with both my butt and boob size. I still feel it's proportionate to my body and crossing my fingers my butt doesn't lose some volume now that I'm sitting.

New Bras

So I went to Victoria's Secret this weekend to finally buy new bras. Since my surgery I've only worn the one Dr. Hughes gave me (for low cut stuff) and sports bras for everything else. I was amazed and very excited to find out I was a C cup!! I'm posting some pics of how the ladies look in bras. This was 295 cc natrelle inspiria if your guys are comparing or trying to figure out what it would look like. My chest still looks high but I think I have about 2-3 months more before they fully drop. My chest cavity was pretty small.
I'm sure a lot of other small ladies can relate but going from an A cup to a C is going to be amazing. I can't explain how beautiful and confident I felt in the fitting room trying in these bras. I wrote an email to Dr. Hughes thanking him for doing a great job and that this procedure has changed my life for the better. I'm glad I chose Dr. Hughes to do it. In my earlier posts I stated I went in looking for something that fit my body and was very against going bigger than a B cup. After looking at my body, Dr. Hughes recommended otherwise and I'm still happy I went with his recommendation. No regrets! I would never have chosen myself the size he went for. In t-shirts I look proportionate and full and not overly dramatic or fake which is what I wanted. I finally feel confident in a part of myself that I felt bad about for so long and it feels amazing almost liberating. I'm actually looking forward to trying on dresses!

After all is said and done I am very happy with my decision of choosing Dr. Hughes for my procedures and I would highly recommend him to family, friends and the Realself community. From my first encounter at our consultation to Post-Op appointments he has exceeded my expectations. He is a very realistic doctor who takes your body and size into consideration to best recommend what would best achieve the look you want. I'm not only short but I have a small body frame so I was skeptical when he told me his recommendations for my BA & BBL. I imagined something too big on my body which would make me look fake. I trusted him and 3 weeks after my procedure I'm STILL completely happy I did. By just from looking at my body you could see his experience put into play when he could estimate what would make me look nice, full and proportionate. I'm really glad I didn't go smaller on my BA. During this entire process he has always made himself available for questions, concerns, or just crazy comments. I emailed him anxious and nervous the night before my procedure just saying, "AHHHHHHH!" And he promptly replied, "I'll see you tomorrow, Relax and get some sleep." I feel some doctor's wouldn't waste their time replying to that. I have emailed him multiple times after the procedure with questions in regards to healing, showering, etc. and he ALWAYS replies promptly (even to my emails on weekends and sometimes past midnight). I really feel that Dr. Hughes eats, sleeps and breathes his craft. If you have any hesitation of how something is healing he welcomes you to come in or email him and he will take a look. This showed me he is very dedicated to his clients before, during and after the procedure. Every time I met with Dr. Hughes he was always very confident in what he could do for me and his level of skill, which in turn made me feel I could trust him and that I was in good hands. I've seen reviews where some people call this cocky but I really believe it's confidence and experience. It's one thing if he were big talk and a mediocre doctor whose results can't live up to expectations but that is not Dr. Hughes. When I did my research on him, just by watching his YouTube videos and his description of his procedures, you can see the amount of experience and knowledge he has which gives him a keen eye in regards to the process of the procedures, sculpting and proportionality. Ladies, that is someone you want operating on you. Overall, for this being the first time I've ever gotten plastic surgery or any surgery in general, it was scary but I felt I was in good hands and so far Dr. Hughes has made it a great experience. I highly recommend him. If you are considering Dr. Hughes please do your research (look at his reviews, before and afters pics, his website which is full of information, his Realself reviews) and book a consultation and see for yourself that his results and experience live up to his confidence.
