2nd round bbl reduction

WORTH IT
I got the second round of reduction from Hughes almost 3 months ago. I initially had 800cc inserted by dr dass in Los Angeles in January of 2021. I hated it. I didn't look natural, the pictures on here are deceiving. I had my first round of reduction by Hughes in april of 2021, he removed 350 and 400. It looked better, but still awkward. In December he removed another 350 and 300 from my inferior buttocks and medial. This is an incredibly risky surgery and you need a very skilled hand. You also need he luck of healing properly. He was very careful to not promise me a perfect result. However, as of now I got just that. No skin issues, just a normal sized, regular looking body. I adore his surgeon. He is professional, articulate and very good at his job. Worth every penny.

I’m so grateful for finding this !!! I went to dr Dass as well and now looking to get a reduction. I made it clear and told him twice “ please something natural “ I don’t want something so dramatic. I honestly just wanted to fix how uneven my hips were and I had no ass.

Exactly what happened to me. I recommend Dr Hughes-- though it may be 2 surgeries, each costing around 8k. Worth every penny

Does this mean that he took fat from underneath the gluteus muscle? That's where all my fat was injected and I've been trying to find a surgeon to take it out since

He did, yes! I think it's called the "inferior" buttocks. I don't have any loose skin. It worked out for me

Did u find your butt felt like it was falling after the reduction? I had a horrible breast fat transfer where the surgeon snuck fat from my hips and the top of my butt which was supposed to just be lower back Lipo. It destroyed my connective tissue and it feels like my butt is falling even when I sit. I’m trying to understand what he did to me because bbl girls get reductions even and I’ve never heard of this complaint before.

Hi Alisa, do you still feel the same way. How is the buttocks area doing? I’m considering going to a doctor in Cali to get fat removed from top of my buttocks and hips to then transfer to my breasts. I’ve had 2 bbls so my buttocks are really big. I’m a little worried about the buttocks feeling just like you described it?

Just wanted to add some more before and after the reduction. Again, I asked Hughes to “remove as much as possible”. Dass had originally put in 800cc, hughes took 350 and 400. Now, my butt is still big and waist small, it’s just natural. If you are considering a reduction, my advice is to go all out! You will still be left with curves! Just not the plastic surgery kind.
I am almost 2 weeks after the reduction. It took me down for maybe 5 days, and now I have to remind myself I just had surgery. I feel completely normal. I am wearing compression and not exercising for 6 weeks, but that’s the only reminder.
I added some before and after with my original body. I’m glad I got this procedure done; all my clothes look good on me now. I just wish I had been very clear with dass to add VERY LITTLE. It would have saved me 8,500$ and the pain of more surgery. I just don’t think anything above 400 looks natural, which was the original butt lift anyway.
May this be a major endorsement for Hughes. He got more patient with walking me though the science and his work is extraordinary. He’s very skilled and worth every penny.
I think Dass is also good at his job. I wasn’t left with any dents or lumps from the liposuction, and I think with more specific direction I would have ended up with a good result. However his aesthetic undirected is pretty exaggerated! If you inject fat at the top of your butt while taking the fat from the lower back, you will end up with a shelf! I don’t see how that’s avoidable. So if you go with Dass- go small! However, if I could do it again, I would have gone with Hughes from the beginning.
Ok that’s it for me. Good luck out there ladies and gents!

Can I ask your night and weight pre op with dass. I just had a consultation and he wants to use 800 and I want a natural look I have hips so that’s 800 of projection which has me nervous
June 18, 2021
yeah i think that's too much! in my opinion anything over 500 per side looks fake. i am around 140lbs and do crossfit

How tall are you?

Hey you look so amazing. I’m currently 5 post of my bbl and in a similar predicament as you. My surgeon gave a me shelf look that I did not ask for: Around how much did your reduction cost you? I’m considering Hughes for mines at the same 12 week mark!

Hello are you still happy with your results ? I’m interested in a reduction as well

I also had a bbl done by Dr. Dass who left me looking really fake. Got a “revision” with Dr. Hughes, not once but twice! He left me with a droopy butt. He was also very rude and impatient. Even yell at his staff in front of me. I will leave a review on him. Glad you had a good experience but I don’t trust this doctor at all.

How much did it cost for each of the bbl reductions?

Post a review and pics of your reduction with dr Hughes please

Hughes told me he couldn’t promise perfection but then he delivered it. I’m so freaking happy.
