This is my day 3/4 review I didn't post
WORTH IT
So the day after surgery Olga told me my binder was all wrong which is what I had read previously on here. She said it was not low enough or tight enough. She had me sit down on a chair that she laid back to where I could take the pressure off my butt. She said I needed to lay down to put the binder on. The next day I realized the difference in the binder and correct size garment as the nurses who sent me out originally had it all wrong. Olga really helped a lot! I also noticed my private area was swollen like times 4! Kinda scary but normal I think
I'm bored reading on realself in shock of how a lot of these ladies are so eager for different ways to sit on their booty within the first week! That's absolutely not an option for me! Dr Hughes told me to stay off of the fat. I'd rather be miserable on my stomach, lucky for me I sleep well on my stomach but standing up is much more comfortable for me. I've been walking in circles very restless. I took a shower yesterday which felt great and I slept amazing afterwards. I also had 2 bm but I had to take stool softener.
All these dressings are driving me insane considering I did lipo to my full abdomen, flanks, back, arms, inner thigh, and chin. I swear dr Hughes managed to get into my armpit area and everywhere he could for fat. I was shocked to find out he went through my belly button but he said it was critical for another 200cc of pure fat. He did an amazing job. The strap they gave me to wear around my chin is most irritating because it's rubbing my ears wrong and they want it tight.
I had a big battle between myself and the binder because Olga said she wanted it low I was worried about it pushing down on the top of my butt. It took forever to get it on right I was kind of being a perfectionist about it. I weighed myself and in shock that I'm not even 145lbs and I was 142 before surgery! Everyone says they retain so many lbs of fluid. Olga said I would keep swelling up and I def have a little bit but I have my fingers crossed that I don't swell much more. I swear I can feel myself already shrinking in this size medium garment.
The binder is soo uncomfortable but it's more uncomfortable when I take it off because my abdomen doesn't even feel attached to my body it feels loose! It doesn't help that I'm kind of claustrophobic so I've woken up at night freaking out and it's hard to breathe in so many layer of tight binder and garment! I just wanted to take a big deep breath! I'm following dr Hughes orders though wear the binder 24/7 aside from when showering.
I already love my new body and can't wait to heal and enjoy. The lipo to arms wasn't as bad as I thought. I didn't care that there wasn't much fat to donate to my booty I just didn't want to look like I could fly away after surgery and have everything else be thin. Only thing I'm wishing for is for my thighs to slim down more :/ I've been trying to eat healthy balanced low sodium protein packed meals as much as possible because I'm paranoid about my body eating the fat from my butt. It's hard being that the binder is squishing my stomach so small like a waist trainer or worse. Ugh it's all going to be soo worth it. I know a lot of girls who regretted not wearing their garments and things as instructed as I think it really effects your results.

Day 2 :)
Okay so I feel like I shouldn't even go into detail about day 1. It was ROUGH ...very rough. The pain was intolerable especially when I first got home the pressure in my back and spine was like a 10.5. Today mostly my abdomen hurts because I was vomiting all day and night yesterday. I couldn't keep a drop of ANYTHING down. I was peeing a lot like every hour.
They sent me home in a garment way too small so doc said to take it off and I'm on my way to dr Hughes now to get a garment in the right size. I don't know why they would send me home in a garment that barely zipped or buckled closed knowing I was going to swell?
For the record I love dr Hughes he's super cool funny smart confident and obv the bbl king. ...but I sincerely dislike Lorraina who did my consult and stuff . For multiple reasons she has no tact is not personable at all. She also seems uneducated. And clearly needs some work done lol. I sound like a mean girl but honestly I bit my tongue I could've ran circles around her but I kept quiet. I just don't like when someone does something for a living and I think I could do it much better. Her vibe was WAY off
Anyways enough about her b4 I start calling names. Let's just say I wouldn't wish her upon anybody. I'm going to ask how many CC and get back to you guys with pics and more details about the day of surgery and behind the scenes. Xo

I pray the days following are a lot better. Can't wait to see your pics.
June 19, 2015
Yay, I've been waiting for your day to come :) hope the following days are more tolerable! What does Hughes give you for pain?

June 20, 2015
I can't necessarily say the following days are more tolerable. But it's getting better since I can eat now and I'm no longer sick. The pain just kind of changes to a lot of pressure and soreness. He gave me 5mg oxycodone (Percocet) I asked Lorena to ask him to give me 10mg norco but she looked at me like I was crazy. I dont do that well with pain. A few years ago I also requested norco after breast aug surgery in San diego and received what I asked for. They gave me suppository for the nausea which didn't work at all for me and Lorena also misinformed me telling me it was a pill... She doesn't know much. For questions I would email dr Hughes or call the girl at front desk is very helpful.
June 18, 2015
glad to hear you are home and everything went well. as the days go by it will get beter. i am 2 mohts into mine and all of the disconfort is long forgotten :).
June 19, 2015
Hi - I was in surgery with Dr. Hughes the day before you were - how are you feeling? Day 2 was alot better for me than day 1. I am going for my post op today at 2pm. Hope you are doing well and that the results are better than awesome.

June 20, 2015
Hey I'm in a lot of pain but it's getting better. Mostly just pressure. I was very sick the first day as well. I wish u a speedy recovery. Do you know how many CCs he injected in each buttock? I

June 20, 2015
900cc to each buttock. Did u do lower eye surgery too? Can't wait to see your results I want to get same procedure for my mom.
June 20, 2015
Thank you for your response :) did you end up doing lipo to arms and chin as well? oh my why didn't they give you the pills for nausea instead..I don't do very well with nausea and throwing up, I would be so mad. When I got tummy tuck I made sure they gave me something for the nausea right away, and as soon as I drove off to my house I took something they prescribed too. I did not want to throw up at all, which I did but only once. That Lorena girl does not seem to know very much, is she new?

June 20, 2015
I didnt get any nausea and only gas no bowel movement yet and today is technically day 2 since my surgey date was changed all the way down to thursday instead of tuesday.

June 21, 2015
I dont know if Lorena is new. They did give me nausea medicine but it was suppository (you put in through rectum) and I used it it did not work I threw up all day it was rough day for me. I did end up doing lipo to my arms and chin. My chin is very swollen from laying on my face and i have to keep it wrapped with this Velcro thing around my head and chin which is driving my crazy. My arms look great and are not as useless as I thought they would be.

June 21, 2015
My mom and bf said they saw you while they were waiting for me to wake up from surgery. Wish I got to see you. Hope you're doing well. I had 2 bm on day 2 or 3 but I took 2 stool softener gel pills,,, nothing since then though :/ xoxo

June 21, 2015
O ok hey yes they were a white woman and a asian guy they said that you were getting done the same thing as me but unfortunately i had to get mine done the next day on this past thursday because they hadnt told me that I needed to not have taken my diabetes meds so instead of wednesday it was thursday. Not to mention that the day of surgery they had issues with my breathing so they had to get me on a breathing pump and then continue with the surgery.

Surgery reschedule June 17, 2015
I'm so done looking at real self lol. From the harsh reviews to the good ones and the ones that look potentially fake I'm just over it I have to stop looking and obsessing. I've seen rude people bashing his office and I'm like isn't that the dr you chose?! Although I like nice things Idgaf what the place looks like as long as it's clean. dr Hughes could come to my house for all I care lol.
I'm super confident with my gut instinct in choosing the bbl king Dr. Hughes. I sent him and email and he said he doesn't know exactly how many CC. Probably because he's can see pics but doesn't know my anatomy till he's in there. He doesn't want to promise anything he can't deliver. He did promised to get all the fat he can and transfer it all since I'm not fat.
I've been trying to gain but my weight has been stagnant at 142.8 for like almost a year I think. (I'm holding the weight pretty well) He also told me to to avoid hot yoga prior to Sx. I can't wait I was disappointed to push my date back 1 week but something came up with my work and I want my schedule totally clear after surgery.
I feel like all my fat is going to my [RS bleep] I'm so over being squishy I can't wait to be tiny sick looking waist and a bubble butt with S curve perfection.

I'm following your journey :) I want a BBL and also want my arms and chin lipod, and Hughes is the only who seems to charge fair prices, so still debating with the surgeon who did my TT or Hughes..following your journey and other girls journey to see what I end up deciding with, it's so hard..
