WORTH IT
I will be doing my procedure next year June 2016 with Dr. Kenneth Hughes. I had consultations with 3 other PS before finally making up my mind to go with Dr. Hughes. I will be getting a TT, BA w/lift - Saline implants, Lipo to back, sides, maybe arms and chin, and BBL - if still needed after Lipo and TT.

Thank you for sharing your story. Good for you for doing such thorough research beforehand. Do you mind if I ask you to share some stats about yourself, like your height, weight, etc.?

Did you visit him at his new office? Do you mind saying what other PS you consulted with (in the active search stage right now) Thanks!

Hi StillSouthern,
I haven't seen his new office but I plan to. I did my research and his new facility is part of another well known PS. The facility is certified and meets safety / state codes.
I consulted with Dr. Farzaneh in Chino Hills, Dr. Devdas In Claremont and Dr. Mack in Beverly Hills.

I have visited Dr. Hughes new office. He's sharing it with Miko Plastic Surgery (who happens to have horrible online reviews). Office is clean...nothing too fancy. Surgery center is in the same office, which is convenient.

I have visited the Dr. Hazani (Bev Hills), Dr. Smaili (Bev Hills), Dr. Khorsandi (Bev Hills) & Dr. Dass (Bev Hills). Was most comfortable with Dr. Dass, until I met Dr. Hughes. Hope I'm making the right decision!

Godo morning, I'm happy to hear that. I was slightly concerned after ready a couple of reviews from other girls. They weren't happy with their results. Mainly because of the loss of volume and dimples on buttocks. Do you have any problems?
September 9, 2015
With Dr. Hughes? I've never heard anything negative about him. Yes, you lose about 30% of volume when the swelling goes down. That's why he packs it with fat as much as he can. Even after loss of volume I still have good projection and a nice perky butt. Hopefully it lasts a while. I do a lot of squats to maintain :)

The reviews were about a year ago. One girl gave him 1 star and the others 2-3 stars.
How was your recovery? Especially the sitting on your new perky butt!.. Lol!
I plan on taking 8 weeks off to recover before going to work.

The first 4 days were rough but then it got better. I didn't sit for about 4 weeks. I'm at 4 months now and still try not to sit or lay on my butt lol I guess it's a habit. My butt still looks amazing and exactly what I wanted :)

Have youcecer had PS. That is quite a bit all at once!!! I'm not trying to be discouraging, but then again I am; all that elelctive surgery at once sounds unsafe! It is quite painful as well. I'm sure lots of other women have done it though. Best of luck to, please be safe!

I'm getting exactly what you are! I can't wait to hear back from him soon. If you don't mind me asking, how much will all of your surgeries be?

Hi Ali,
It's a pretty penny but I think he is worth it. A bargain can sometimes turn out to be more expensive than you think. My procedures will be between 18-26K depending on what I decide to do. I'm still undecided... LOL!
How about you? Who is your PS?

ok, so my original mommy makeover plan included: BA with implants, TT, and BBL with lipo of back and sides.
I was thinking that the BBL may be too much for me to handle (pain and recovery wise). I mean, how in the world am I going to sleep??? Can't sleep on my belly bec of the BA and TT. Can't sleep on my sides bec of the lipo. Can't sleep on my back bec of the BBL. I want it all but I don't know if I should do it all :(. I've always been thick and had a booty, but now it's hiding under fat! Lol!.

Have any of you done it all at the same time?
How did you manage?

So, I was thinking, what if instead of the BBL I have more lipo to include the bra area and armpits? My thoughts are that if I get rid of my fat pads... My old curves will resurface :)

Am I making sense? Thank you for reading. Have a great day!

If it were me, (and I decided to do multiple procedures at once), I would not do the BBL at the same time as the other procedures for the simple reason you stated which is lack of sleeping options! You need to have at least one (side, tummy, back!) And sleep is so important in your healing....

In hindsight, I would have put more distance between my procedures due to level of pain/discomfort following them.

Hi Sponge Bob,
Lol! JK unless you still feel like him? :P

Thank you for your thoughts. I appreciate the feedback. I'm leaning towards putting a hold on doing the BBL or maybe not doing it at all.
It's just so tempting because I want to get it all done at once and suffer thru it once, rather than twice. I also don't want to chicken out in the future (due to pain, I HATE pain) and not be totally happy with the whole package. The good news is that I have 9 mos to think about it.
Again, thank you :)

I've read about some ladies buying several layers of thick foam to sleep on and cutting a hole in them for their butts. Seems like a pretty good idea to me.

I've seen that. I've actually been on amazon looking up all the various recommendations from other ladies. There's days when I'm all for it and some days were I second guess myself!!
