So ever since I have found this website I have been trying to gather all my info and decide what doctor would be best for me! I'm torn between two doctors, dr. Bruno and dr. Hughes! I need your ladies opinions on these doctors so just want to hear your experience or any advice you have? I want to get this done really soon ( 2-3 months). I'm so confused now..

Thank you! Ever since I have been on this site I am really feeling more support in here than my family! ( besides my hubby) I told a couple of my family members and they looked at me like I was crazy! Why can't I do something for myself.. It's not like I asked them to pay for my surgery!! Lol... But oh well this is my new beginning for 2014 and I'm proud of it!

Aww thank you! Yeah after having all my healthy baby girls ( which all of them were 8-9 pounds!) remember I use to be very thin weighing only 105 before pregnancy and gained 40-50 pounds with every pregnancy! (Yikes).. Lol but I love my beautiful baby girls with all my heart and us moms just take that sacrifice for our children!! But yes I know I will look great afterwards I'm just so anxious it's really driving me and my husband crazy! Lol there's not one day I don't talk about my surgery to him and I know he is excited for me...(for us)

I had the procedure a year ago February with Dr. Hughes and I am really happy with the results. It takes a very long time for the swelling to go completely down and I went through many anxious moments thinking that something was not done right or done wrong. However; the end result is a very dramatic and positive change for my body.

Well after eliminating Dr.bruno, was convinced that Dr. Hughes would do my surgery.. After being on this website and doing some googling I'm interested in Dr.Dass. I haven't had a consultation with him yet but the reviews I've read about him impressed me and I'm actually wondering how much he charges for the both procedures I want?. I want the best results and want a doctor that's going to make me feel comfortable throughout this whole thing!! I'm going to get a consult with Dr. Dass hopefully this week and then (crossing my fingers!!) I can make a decision soon... Do any of you ladies have any advice for me? Has anyone had a tt and bbl at the same time with any of these two doctors??

Good luck! I know you do not live in Texas, but I would suggest looking up Dr. Bob Basu as a reference for a great doctor. He is fantastic. I am 11 weeks out from my TT, and blown away by the results. For me, it was really important to feel comfortable with my doctor, which is why I chose him. I had to do my research too, but it's worth it to make the right choice. I didn't know about this site until right before my surgery date. I wish I had because the support here is great!

Well after reading a lot of reviews he will not be aggressive with the lipo I'm wanting that Especially if I'm getting a bbl... I seen some girls here that got a bbl with him and it didn't look much different from before. There is only one girl in here where I saw a Hugh difference! He's nice and all but not wanting to pay money I see a slight difference! What are you planning to get?
February 19, 2014

So I just received my new Bikini in the mail! So cute but not on me!! :( I knew my body was not in shape but dang I never in my life had cellulite! I'm always been small even after having my babies. I end up getting back to my normal weight, which is 120-125! I'm still weighing 140 right now. I know I can lose the baby weight but thought if I keep the weight on that would be good for my bbl. I also know surgery is not going to fix all my flaws, not having no booty and a saggy stomach can be fixed easy but me getting toned up I need to work on. I'm considering delaying my procedure so I can work out a bit but don't want to lose to much since I'm wanting some fat for my bbl! I posted some pics of me in my new bikini and hope to see much better results in a few months! I will then Obviously post pictures after my surgery with this same bikini! Well I hope I can start with some motivation and tips on what's the best way to get toned up! Thanks ladies!

I'm considering Dr. Hughes in LA for my Bbl. He has quoted me $9500. I will also have to fly there and stay for 4 days. Dr. Hughes is VERY quick to respond to all your questions, even in the middle of the night BUT, his answers are very direct and to the point. He gave me a quote via e-mail and I almost feel like he might be a robot that gets really good results. Have you read his responses, they end with the same verbiage. He also said his results are so apparent because he is more aggressive. Is this good or bad. I mean, have you seen his pic, I'm not sure I want my little 5ft body to have aggressive lipo???? Maybe that is what I want in order to get the most shapely results??? Idk.

Hello there! Well I just gave my deposit today for surgery! April 11th is the big day! I'm super excited, I'm little as well just got this extra fat on me that goes in all the wrong places and where I want it to go ( my booty) it dosent!! Ugh.. Any who Dr.hughes said he'd take care of me and portion everything out so I'm happy with my results. I want a nice round butt just not over the extreme! I'm sure he's going to give me exactly what I'm wanting! He seems very confident and that makes me feel at ease.. Well at least for now until surgery day! (Yikes) lol
