25 Years Old 5'5 142lbs BBL W/ Dr Hughes - Culver City, CA

I've been waiting to go through with this procedure for a long time!!! I was glad I found out about real self and have been stalking this site for some months. It's been a long journey and it's just beginning so I want to share with you all. Originally I wanted to travel to Miami and have Surgery with Dr mendieta (spellcheck). I knew a couple ladies here in LV that went so dr mendieta with a great toosh and still looks great years later (spellcheck?) I also have seen one I really didn't like....anyways on to my surgeon of choice DR HUGHES :) ... I've never seen his work live and uncut but I'll be my own guinea pig. I traveled to LA for consultation last month. I was late but the lady on phone said come before 5 and its all good. So I made it there and waited just to find out Dr Hughes left. I was bummed because I traveled just for that and the next day was my birthday. I left the office pissed but came back the next day because I like a little thrill of the chase ;) lol hopefully dr Hughes is worth it. So dr Hughes was very brief, short, cold, kind of rushed, and very confident. Which is fine because he's serious about what he does and the consultation IS free... Can't blame him. Seems like he's a master of his craft. I asked him why he doesn't use drains and he basically acted like it was better and could cause more bad than good and I shouldn't question him lol. Fine with me I was just curious since it seems like most dr use drains. ( Dr Hughes also responds to emails in a shockingly prompt manner) Anyways I went on to tell Dr Hughes I'm hoping to lipo everything. Thighs, abdomen, flanks, back, arms, and chin. He said I didn't need to gain weight and that we could do my arms although there isn't much fat. I considered not doing my arms and toning on my own but figured why not if I'm already spending all this money. I want to be very petite. And even though I wanted to save myself from being crippled head to toe I think I'll be more happy. He said we can do inner thigh, flanks, abdomen, back, arms, and chin. He also suggested a chin implant which I'm not going to go through with. I checked out his work and the pics looked great but I'm not ready to do that and I'm not self conciense or unhappy with my face I just wanted a more defined jaw line and my face feels chubby from weight gain. I figured Dr Hughes had a great image in mind If he suggested a face implant in matter of seconds which I wasn't expecting but I still considered I was glad he was honest. The price seemed high when I dealt with the lady about costs and scheduling and she was pushy but I do want more areas lipo than the average bbl which means more $$. I'm scheduling my surgery date tomorrow and paying half upfront to lock in the date which also seemed like a lot and is not what the man on the phone told me previously when I called the office. My hope for surgery is to have a perfect shape and be very petite I want a tiny waist. I'm hoping dr Hughes can give me my dream body that I couldn't aquire from all the squats and lunges and gains in the world i just realistically will never be the shape I want without Dr Hughes. My soon to be hero. :) yay
I'll post some wish and before pics soon...

I'm getting more and more excited. I missed Loraine's call yesterday to make my deposit and pay half. I have a crazy busy schedule. I'm hoping to still be able to lock in my surgery date for June 9 or 10.

I have a lot of wish pics in my phone I have gathered over time. But more importantly I took some before pics today. I felt like my pics don't look as fat as the ones I sent to dr Hughes last month. He said I don't need to gain weight but I'm trying to gain at least 5 more lbs in the next few weeks. I want to have plenty of fat I don't want to spend tons of money for minimal result. Although I don't want a huge butt I want a very perfect specific shape. I'm thinking I really still want to do my arms even though I'll be crippled I want to be petite. more Lipo=more $ :-/ ...I will continue to post pics. I hate how so many people on real self don't post enough photos. And that's the good stuff we obviously want to see. I struggled finding before and after photos of girls my age or body type with no kids. so, I plan to post plenty along the way :)

I'm counting down the days! And eating everything I can! Haha! 10 days til I go to LA and 12 days until Dr Hughes officially gets to make me his next masterpiece :)

I'm going to LA early to get situated in the condo I'm subleasing and for my pre-op with dr Hughes. I actually smoke medical marijuana daily and Dr. Hughes advised me to stop smoking 1 week before surgery and for 6 weeks after. This won't be easy for me especially because it is going to effect my appetite, anxiety, and sleep patterns but i will be fine. I'm very strong and self disciplined, it will all be worth it.

Dr. Hughes office advised me I don't need anything but myself and a boppy pillow :) they provide everything else. I was told I may need to buy a smaller size garmet than the one they initially provide because I will be shrinking :) There will be a few more things I'm going to buy for comfort.

I don't know if you have heard of Do Terra but it's a manufacturer or essential oils. I'm very into homeopathic remedies. Pain pills and surgery will have me very nauseas (I know from previous breast aug) so in order to manage pain, promote healing, bruising, appetite, and even lighten my mood there's a do terra oil for everything! A lot of stuff on Pinterest! I will post pics when I have my care package all together. Feel free to ask me about it if you're interested.
