BBL Revision with BodyTite or How I Threw 17,700 USD out of the Window

$17,700
I travelled all the way from Europe to fix a bad BBL I had done two years ago. I had been searching for THE BEST surgeon ever since and - no lie - would've been willing to go to the moon, because I didn't want to make another mistake. I really did my research and flew into town weeks before the surgery date for consultations with different surgeons. Dr. Hughes was the most confident one and presented himself as an absolute expert in BBL revisions, which is something he said he would be doing every day. He was also by far the most expensive doctor I saw. We discussed I needed BBL revision with lipo from the abdomen, flanks and back with fat transfer into the buttocks and hips. He also wanted to improve my cellulite and lumpy stomach from previous lipo with Bodytite. The total cost for the surgery was 17,700 USD. However, in total I paid around 25k for the surgery, plane tickets, hotels etc., which I was willing to pay in order to finally end my ordeal. Unfortunately, Dr. Hughes did not deliver any of the discussed results. The pictures show that he ruined my shape even more. I can't tell how much fat was lipo'ed or inserted back into my butt and thighs, because he gave me different numbers in person and via E-Mail than stated in the surgery report, which I had only received one month after the surgery. I can only warn to request the document right away, as otherwise they will add any complaints as unfixable facts that were discussed during consultation - which is what they did in my case. I've literally been crying nonstop since the day after the surgery, because I knew from the beginning that the shape wasn't right. I expressed my concerns 2 days after the surgery, but was dismissed with the words that I should be glad I didn't have any complications. Really, that's what I paid 18k USD for, to just be happy I didn't die? I gained 20 pounds for my first BBL and another 20 pounds for the revision - total nonsense - because there are no results! You can see from the pics, the flanks were not proporly lipo'ed, fat transfer into the hips did not happen either at all! Without any hips the shape is totally square!!! Body Tite on the stomach and the back of the thighs did not work (or wasn't done). He eventually offered me a revision or my money back. I chose the money, because my trust is so broken at this point, but he has been unresponsive ever since that statement. I really hate myself that I chose this doctor, because he made me even more miserable than I've been before. You would expect some support after such an expensive surgery, but they literally don't care about you anymore the moment they get your money. I cannot recommend Dr. Hughes for BBL revisions at all and wish I had gone with another doctor...

Sharing my before pics and pictures 6 months after my first and second BBL. I should have NEVER touched my body!!! Girls, I really don’t know how to continue life like this...I want this nightmare to stop finally but no matter what I do, it doesn’t work. It’s been 3 years since the first BBL and I can’t get my life back. I literally haven’t left my apartment for the past 3 years except for work. BBL is the biggest mistake of my life...

Hi. Whatever reason you think you made the biggest mistake of your life, your LIFE itself, is MORE important! I looked at your pics, and I wish my body looked half as good as yours do! Embrace your "flaws" because your inner beauty is what really matters. People of substance will gravitate towards your inner beauty. At the end of the day, it will ALWAYS outshine your outer beauty! Take care of yourself and be brave.... :-)

Hello beaut! Thank you for your lovely comment on my review. I was feeling really low about my damn surgery and you uplifted my mood. Trust me I understand how your feeling. I feel like I’m always going to regret touching my face but please don’t knock your self down about it! Personally I think you got a killer body and would do anything if I looked half as good. I lost a heap of weight this year so my body is practically loose skin lmao. I’m sorry your feeling the way you do but I promise you people care much more about your inner kindness. Thank you once again for making me feel better about myself. Take care xx

I don't understand why you would think that. The first picture is me before, the last one is after the 2nd BBL. I have literally NO HIPS and a big old square butt.

I meant after your last revision. I think you looked quite nice. I am very sorry you are going through this :( and that you payed all that...seriously...American surgeons take the piss big time with their pricing. I had friends paying over 25k bot being botched. And they don't have money. They are broke.

I don't mean to be insensitive, but I think you look great! I would love to have your figure!
Maybe things look worse in real life? Here you look amazing!
I don't think it's fair to Dr. Hughes to say you through away 17,700 since he gave you back the money, Most doctors would not have done that.
But thank you for sharing this experience; it's very helpful.

You must have understood something wrong, because he never gave me back a penny!

Wait. I see in the three-month update, you said he offered you a revision or a refund, and you took the refund, so that's why I said that!

Hey babe I know what your going through. Having your body not what you want it to be after failed surgery is awful. I went through 8 months of depression because of it!!! But I have seeen multiple women get fixed! I’m actually planning on going to dr Misbah khan in New York! She fixes bad lipo with a micro canula needle. Basically no scars. She’s harvest fat leaving no dents and injects into specific areas that need it. I flew all the way from Cali to consult with her and I’m very trusting she can help me. She showed me pics of botched ppl she has fixed! Don’t be sad! Just think there can be hope for being fixed ! You don’t look horrible but I see what your talking about. To fix you have to go to a specialist. She does one surgery a day. And while you’re awake standing to see areas that don’t show while you’re lying face down. I seriously think you should set up a consult if you’re mental state is not going to get better ❤️

After looking at your pics you have fat to harvest with a needle, and she can round your hips and even get rid of dimples or dents
