Dr. Hughes is an outstanding board certified plastic surgeon! He is extremely intelligent, and also personable. I was impressed with him from our very first interaction. I had submitted a consultation request and within a couple hrs i already had a response from his office. I sent Dr Hughes an email with photos and some general questions while on my lunch break at 11pm central time , and to my surprise I had a response an hr later! The next day I quickly scheduled a phone consultation. I am an RN/paramedic and I have worked in critical care areas caring for critical post-op patients so I spent a lot of time researching the procedures I wished to have done. I had several in depth questions for Dr. Hughes during our phone consultation, and he didn't skip a beat throughly answering my questions. I found it very pleasant to speak with him. It is very evident that he knows what he is doing. He is straightforward and honest. And frankly produces amazing results! Could I have had a TT/BL/BA near my home by a good surgeon? Sure.... But I couldn't have had the BBL along with it.... And very few dr's remove the volume of fat he does with lipo (5 liters) or will transfer as much for the BBL... And gets the results that he does! Some people think I'm nuts for flying across the country to have plastic surgery.... But I wanted the BEST... and Dr. Hughes is it!! :-D

Hi! Thanks for following updating! Did u have trouble healing? Should have and didn't do something to help with the scars?i noticed they are very visible and irregular.
Nope they just spread under my Breasts and on my TT they are raised... They weren't like that to start with. Just the way I healed even though I didn't expect to heal that way. Dr Hughes said he can do a scar revision, but I can't afford the costs to have that done right now.

19 mths since surgery

Well ladies it's been 19 months since my surgery.... The big questions... Was it worth it? If I could go back would I do it again?
When I had my surgery I was going through a very difficult time in my life. And I feel the decision to have this major very expensive surgery was made at a time When I was not in the right state of mind to make such a decision. I was in a very self centered state of mind... I guess trying to some how escape from the other things going on that I couldn't control. I think that over all in life I was NOT in a place financially to have this surgery. My husband and I financed the entire thing with care credit and also 2 credit cards. My husband was laid off from his offshore job a few months after surgery....And I now feel I'm drowning in this debt that I'll have for a very very long time. :-(
Am I happy with My body? Well I was originally extremely happy. But since then I've gained about 15-20 lbs. It was difficult for me to notice the weight at first because I wasn't gaining it in the same places I always had before. But I do have to say that I still look pretty good even 20 lbs heavier! I do have pretty terrible scars though and I didn't expect to heal that way. I have spoken to Dr Hughes about a revision, which of course he would do, but that would cost another $5000 after travel and anesthesia costs etc. And I just can't bring my self to spend even more money on it at this point.

Was the recovery terrible? It was very rough at first but I expected that. I had pain in my sides and lower back from the Lipo for almost a year, and now even 19 mths after surgery my lower belly is still numb.

I will try to up date some photos later today for any one interested.

I hope this helps any one looking to have this surgery.

Doll, perhaps reading the book or watching the movie/documentary, "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne, and applying the teachings, might help you with your financial situation and other life matters. Give it a good go. My life is fabulous thanks to this. You can also visit the website TheSecret.TV

All the best, sweet doll :)))
Thanks for sharing. I hope that things turnaround for you. Keep pushing forward and soon you'll see the light at the end of the tunnel.
