1 yr PO Review
WORTH IT$10,000
Happy New Year everyone!
As I promised, I am back to update 1 year since I have had the BBL. I really still don't see a lot of reviews post 1 yr and want to contribute my experience so everyone can determine the long term results. I will say that each body is different. As for me, I have never been able to keep fat on my body for long in my 43 years, and it's no difference I supposed that the fat transferred to my butt has also diminished some more after 1 year and 9 days post op (who's counting lol). Most I feel is due to normal weight loss and some is just wasn't meant to stay in the butt.
So I lost some weight...am back at my pre-surgery weight 122 (was 126-127bls at my 8-mon po update). I must say my butt was still nice and had upper fullness at 8 months, but since then in the last couple of months, some of the upper fullness is now gone and with gravity, fat is always going to settle down and isn't always going to be bubbly like the first several months out of surgery. I do miss that a lot!!! Here are my current measurements. I really lost a little over an inch in my butt and for someone who's not big and doesn't have any butt to begin with, that is really sad to see it go. I am trying to eat to gain a few more pounds (no more than 4) to see if my butt can fill out a bit more.
1 year measurements:
Waist 27.5 (down half inch from 8 months po)
Belly button waist 28 3/4 (down almost an inch since 8 mon - good for the waist area, not good for the butt)
Butt 37 3/4 (down by 1 1/4 inch from 8 mon po)
Weight 122 (126 at 8 mon)
Here are new pictures. I am still happy with the surgery and would do it again if I had money or the fat and yes I would absolutely go back to Dr. Hughes again. Even after a year, I love the back scoop that he did and it helps give my butt more shape. For now, no more surgery, I am going to keep doing squats to maintain my shape. As you can see compared to my pre-op pic, I am still a lot better than what I started with.
May you all have a fabulous 2015. I may not update again unless there's something worth sharing. PM me if you have questions. Bye!

8 Month PO update
Hi everyone! Hope you have been enjoying the summer.
Not much has changed other than the fluffy fairy has came and went and now I think the fatty fairy is making her residence in my chin, gut and thighs:)
My measurements now are:
Natural Waist 28
Waist at belly button 29.5
Butt 39
Weight 126
This summer I have been indulging a bit in eating out and I feel areas where I didn't have lipo done or much fat taken out are the places I see bulges appearing. So yes it is possible to gain weight after lipo and with certain places not lipo'd will be looking lumpy because fat goes there first. I must admit I also haven't been exercising much other than 30 min walks in the evening. I may need chin lipo in a couple of years as no exercise will help that:)
I used to think I would love another 200cc or so fat in my butt but I'm happy at its current size. Finding dress pants for work where I don't need a belt continues to be a challenge.
Anyhow, just wanted to update that the booty is still there. I do get a lot more stretch marks now and you can see in my pics. My next update will be at a year mark.

looking good , notice u mentioned chin lipo, . have u tried any velashape treatment for your abdomen after lipo ?
P
September 13, 2014
No. I read reviews about Velashape and it wasn't all positive experience so I didn't want to try it. I thought about doing endermologie again for the abs and thighs to be tighter but things are too crazy at work that I haven't had the time. I do need a chin lipo.. Maybe it will be in 3 yrs. How are you doing?

I'm thinking about getting the bbl with dr Hughes I'm 5 feet 120 and 25. The price is the only thing making me hesitant well that and the down time 2 weeks I can do 3 if I'm lucky but I will be sitting in an office for 8 hrs sooo I don't know if that'll be good for the bbl any suggestions? Or advice?
P
May 27, 2014
I have an office job too and I also am in a lot of meetings. I took 2 weeks off and 3rd week I worked from home standing all the time. If you can schedule the sx so that you have maybe 2.5 weeks include weekends you should be fine.Honestly you are not going to be able to sit it will feel like hard rocks for a couple of weeks. So take 3 weeks off if possible and get a boppy pillow when you go back to work. I used a soft pillow from 3 weeks until almost 3 mons at work and in the car. The recovery sucks but it's worth it. When are you planning to have your sx?

May 27, 2014
Id like to do it in the next 6 months but may have to postpone it till January nob and dec are not good for work to be off

January is actually a good month to do it because the weather is cool or cold depending on where you live that wearing a compression garment for 6-8 weeks wouldn't be too uncomfortable. Did you have your consult with him already?
J
May 29, 2014
No I'm still trying to get this money together but your right January would be perfect. Have you decided on a doctor yet?

You look fabulous. Dr. Hughes consistently gives the butt I want. Did he put any in you hips? Are your pre-op pics before the first bbl? I have some consults setup in Miami but the more I see Dr. Hughes the more I want him.
P
July 9, 2014
I didn't get any in my hips. He scooped my back and removed fat from my flanks so in the end it makes my nonexistent hips appear like I had fat injected. My pre op are after my first bbl at 1 year which half of the 300 cc I had was what's left before I met Dr Hughes. Are prices less expensive in Miami?
S
July 9, 2014
Yes, Dr. G has a special for $6500 and Dr Otega for $4500. Dr Salz is still $8500. Dr Hughes quoted me $11500. At the end of the day it's about peace of mind so I'm really considering Dr Hughes. It'll be either him or Dr. Ghurani.
P
July 26, 2014
Omg Miami prices are cheaper. Almost made me think to go there for round 3. J/K. :) I'm happy at my medium size since at 7 mons my butt is fluffier and people are starting to ask questions. I'm only 125 bls 5'3 so I can't go too big. But Dr. Salz has nice results from the reviews on here. And of course Dr Hughes is pricier but he delivers results and not afraid to suck all your fat out.
S
July 26, 2014
Hughes is good with the lipo and he
gives really nice butts that are not over the top. The other docs are good and can probably give me what I want but I know Hughes can. I'm just trying not to spend $11500 if I don't have to.
