Round 2 this Friday with Dr. Hughes again :)
I'll be starting another review in the next couple of days to chronicle my round 2 experience with Dr. Hughes.
He will be lipo-ing lower and upper abdomen (bra roll), flanks, and lower and upper back. I am not sure if I will have him do my inner thighs, he said it will not change the cost if I decide to or not. I kind of like having extra on my thighs, even if it's on the inside. But, on the other hand, it would be nice to have less thigh rub when walking! I think I will more than likely have him lipo inner thighs as well.
I'll post the link as soon as I set up the review :)
Also for anyone that is wondering, Dr. Hughes has changed offices. Now he is working from Beverly Hills.

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words! I felt good going into the first round, but so relaxed about this second one. Having lots of trust in this doctor and knowing what to expect during recovery is really really nice. Thanks again :)

How much is he charging you for round 2?
September 30, 2015
$7,500 ~ which was quoted to me while he was still working out of Boris Cosmetic. Apparently his prices have gone up, but he was able to honor my previous quote at the new practice. I don't know by how much his prices have gone up, but they said it had something to do with not having the medical services included as it was at Boris

I've been following your story on several forums! I can't wait to see your round 2 results. Good luck, Doll!

Hi,
I LOVE YOUR RESULTS!! Thanks for sharing! I am scheduled for a mommy make over and BBL next June.
As far as I know, he said he moved offices due to "difficulties". I'm thinking he out grew Boris Cosmetics. When I had my consultation, I was a little surprised at the quality of the location. I was expecting high end type of office. I also did read that the staff tjere was not very professional (which I agree). So, new office new beginnings right!?
What did you think of his new office?

I liked it, the waiting room is a lot nicer in the sense that it is much quieter and larger. No more TV above the front desk blaring things that you already know on repeat ;) Holy crap that got annoying at Boris- especially with the long wait times! I never had a problem with the staff at the Boris location, but things seem to be running smoother at the new location. The staff did seem a bit more easygoing & not rushing me through. I had virtually no wait time before I was seen for my re-consultation, and Dr. Hughes was in good spirits as always. Hope that helps! Good luck with your procedure!

It does, thanks. I can't believe you are going for round two ... You are so brave!!! I haven't done mine and I'm scared!

Round 2 scheduled with Dr. Hughes in Sept
So my checkup/consultation with Dr. Hughes went well. He confirmed that I had gained a bit of fat around my abdomen and above my flanks- something he said he could definitely take care of along with the slight pooch that has formed beneath my navel. He said he wouldn't be able to get much usable fat from those upper areas because it is very fibrous, but agreed to do it anyway since it is one of my bigger concerns lipo-wise. With those areas, I just want to be smaller.
He said he could get at least 400cc for each hip, which I think will make a very substantial difference. I was so so so happy immediately following the first round, my hips looked amazing. I had 420cc injected in each hip and it brought me from severe dent, to amazing hips, but then to pretty much perfectly flat after 4 months recovery and some resorption. My booty still looks amazing & round, but I lost a lot of the width I was so hoping to have. Anyway he said now that I have more tissue there, the graft should hold more effectively which makes me really happy to hear! 400cc should be even more effective, hopefully.
So this time around, we will be leaving the buttocks alone since I am extremely happy with the outcome there and it all seems to be staying. Very happy with my projection and shape, it is already a world of difference from where I started. From round 2, I am hoping to get at least .5" augmentation on each hip- which should make me feel more balanced with the shoulders.
I asked him about injecting into the trochanteric fat pad (saddlebag) but he didn't want to because he thinks it will make my butt look flatter on the sides. He will inject in the same place as before on the hip (kind of outer butt) which should keep things looking nice and round while still adding some width which has been my #1 goal since day 1. If I can get back to where I was shortly after round 1, I will be one super happy camper. I have confidence that it will be possible!
Also, I am feeling like he will find more fat than he thinks from my abdomen (lower and upper). I mean, I can sit here and cradle what feels like a flesh mound while sitting down. I really hope he goes aggressive with it again.. And that is what I love about Dr. Hughes- I know he will.
Lastly, I feel really happy with the dr/patient relationship we have going on. I can tell that he likes me- mostly because we sat and joked for a while, and he mentioned he usually doesn't do that with patients. I am liking his demeanor more and more. What a great doc! Gah. Plus, I got one heck of a discount for round 2 which made the decision to go through with it a no brainer, and I know he is absolutely up to speed on exactly what I want. I love having confidence in a surgeon, I think it makes the whole process so much more enjoyable.
3 months away! Can't wait! I added some more pics to show why I want more hips and obviously happy with the butt!

Forgot to mention, he will be lipoing inner thighs as well. I won't miss the thigh chafing D:

i've had some of the same issues with my hips - looked awesome immediately after sx, and the huge dent i had was filled in. but it has gotten a little flat. I'm also planning to go back for a round 2 this fall. But my doc told me I have to gain 10 lbs. Are you going to try to put on weight to give Hughes more to work with?
June 23, 2015
I have already put on 8-10lbs since the surgery, and I may put on a little more in the next 3 months. I just don't want the rest of my body to get too big! Hey I just looked at your review and I am jealous! Looks to me like you already have an amazing waist/hip curve. Happy to see another trans person on here too. Seems like we are few and far between! Do you corset train? I have been considering doing that, but my real concern is shoulder/hip ratio.
June 25, 2015
thank you! and yes, its good to see trans folk on here. Thank you for sharing your story :)
Yes, i do corset train - I got a couple from Orchard Corset and they make a huge difference. It can be a pain to wear them 8 hours 4-5 days a week like you're 'supposed to' but its definitely made an impact for me. I'm also broad-shouldered, which is why I'm really after wider hips. But making the waist smaller goes a long way too.
I think maybe I should try putting on some weight too. I'm actually down about 5-8 lbs since surgery. I just want to be able to show my belly and not feel self conscious!
