Suspicious reviews...

There have been so many times when I ask a doctor a question and within a day there's a new review of a girl with my height and weight, no pictures, and a stellar (but usually short) review. Are these docs faking reviews? If so, that is so so messed up. Especially because women are asking are very often women who are too large or too small ( I use "too" in the context of surgery and expectations, not beauty) Like, if you don't have the experience why lie and possibly hurt your reputation. Does RS do anything about this kind of bull?

I always get suspicious of reviews that have absolutely no befor and after photos. I mean we can all crop so it features just our butts or whatever the alteration will be on. I keep in mind that many a happy patient is not sharing at all and same with pissed off patients

Or even if there are pics I want to make sure that person is real by seeing how many comments they've had and what kind of comments they've made. If all of them are "Dr. xyz was the best you should see him no regrets!" then I have suspicions.

I hate that too .. a lot of reviews don't seem like a real review but more like they're trying to convince you to see that particular doctor .. no pictures or anything just an awesome fake review

You're right, it's the way they rave about the doctor, but that could be a patient the doc knew was satisfied and asked to go post a review. It just wasn't the patients idea to do it in that case but since they were pleased with their result they did what the office asked them to do. Some people don't know how to relate their experience when asked to do it do they probably would just repeat whatever they'd said at the office that made the doc ask them to post a review. Or it could be a fake a$$ review! Hmm? Lol! No ass being shown in a photo makes you think that's not really a happy patient bcz they should wanna show off.

Exactly , plus honestly it could be someone who works at that clinic

--- I mean how hard is it really to open a realself account to post a review --- right ? I guess just use your common sense and don't believe everything you read .. specially what you can't see... or something that sounds more like a selling point than an original review. I think real self should automatically close the accounts that are obviously fake... like they keep tract of everything you say but strangely they don't delete fake reviews.???!!! Hmmmmm????

I see this too - or the 'one post wonders' people who supposedly join realself to say how amazing things went and never posted before / never post after. There is a marketing department behind every surgeon - depressing. Realself will probably remove my comment about this - they love to do that lol. I saw your question cause i was searching bbl in skinny patients - i weigh 112 pounds but have a chubby tummy so hoping they can fix that. Was thinking about travelling to see hughes but i live in london and there is FINALLY someone here who does it - dr hamza he is a proper surgeon not a harley street quack. The thought of travelling just makes me too nervous as not sure how i will react to the anaesthetic and the long flight after procedure. I hope you get the results you want. I also looked at schulman in new york but his are all too big for me - im the same as you want the victorias secret look not the fake look. If anyone thought it looked fake then it would not be a success for me regardless x

I think very thin women can only hope for a more VS or thin but curvy look. It'll be very hard for a surgeon to overdo it. Keep us updated about your choice! Oh, and don't worry about travelling to the US for it! Esp if you know ppl here it's super easy, safe, and we have very high standards. Only thing it you might have to stay for almost 2 weeks depending on your doctor.

Yep exactly when I look in the mirror i feel kinda ridiculous asking the surgeon not to overdo it because unless he sticks half my body on there i legit do not have enough fat to be looking all bootylicious even if i wanted to! Some girls can carry it off and it looks amazing but i am way too petite - and i always think if i get pregnant in the future or anything that will be where i put on weight, im too small i will be lugging this huge behind around otherwise LOL. I defos havent ruled out the US yet - also considering Dr Aslani in spain cause that is just a 2 hour flight for me. Still not sure I am brave enough though. Will update when i have seen London doctor next week - fingers crossed. Aslani is good too for getting the fat in skinny patients he has a lot of 'challenging' patients on his before / afters so hopefully he will be my european dr hughes if london surgeom says no x

Oddly calm. A little freaked out by how expensive this is going to be & how tough recovery will be. I know doctors say two weeks is how long recovery is but that's honestly a joke. Every woman I know who's had this procedure still feels numbness at least 4-6 months after the procedure. Dr. Hughes was super communicative but Lorena was even better! He was very confident and I hope it's based on skill. From what I've seen he really knows how to create a smooth, beautiful outcome. Lorena really put up with my hectic schedule and was super personable and casual. I'm waiting for an email right now with some crucial details. I'm getting more excited by the minute! I hope the rest of the experience is at least as good as this. I'll update :)

Hey doll. Are you still scheduled to have your surgery next week?

Big details

petitenthickSeptember 19, 2016
Does anyone know of a nurse associated with Dr. Hughes who can take care of me for the first three days? Do you think that's enough? I don't think I can afford to have her with me for 24 hours for three days but like 8 hours in the daytime for three days?

OR a recovery home that's clean, has private rooms, and has kind nurses? I wouldn't mind paying extra for that peace of mind and then moving to a hotel for the rest.

Also, this is cray but I want to book a first class ticket to protect the but haha. Only thing is I can't find airlines that have reclining seats so I can sleep/rest on my stomach and not on my side of butt. Do you guys have any info on that? I was thinking of buying three seats in a single row to chill out. Is that even allowed?

I'm making my list and checking it twice in a couple of weeks. The selection of fajas has got me dizzy. Any advice?

I talked to Lorena and she says Hughes doesn't want any compression on the butt. So butt out Fajas only, and if your garment has coverage there cut it open. I've also read lots of bbl reviews here on RS and some women who ended up with hip and or butt dents were told by revision surgeons that it was caused by their constricting garment. No compression on the areas you want fatter, but definitely compress the Lipo areas for better skin snap back and alleviating swelling

Also Hughes gives you a waist compression binder only and insists it be worn in addition to your faja garment if you're gonna wear a faja. Some place it over top of their faja. Designs Veronique and Ann Cherry are a couple of faja sites

September 27, 2016
Yes, that's what I figured. I'm wondering if I should get one custom made. Everyone complains about how uncomfortable and even painful it is and I think we have to wear it for 2 weeks all day.

It's so hard mail ordering something that's this important. We don't even know what size we'll be with swelling!

So I just got my Leonisa faja today! Scorrdjngbtonyhe sight I'm a medium. So tight! I struggled to put it on and I look amazing in it. Lol! So curvy sleek and slim thick. That thing makes me look like I already had the bbl. I'll post pics in it tomorrow.

No, Hughes didn't tell me to wear a faja. Lorena in his office told me to wear the binder he provides for 6 weeks, and when I asked her bout a faja she said if u get one wear the binder over it
petitenthick
October 1, 2016
Oh yes, I meant the binder for 6 weeks.

Another patient just posted about her Lipo yesterday and says Lorena in Hughes office referred a nurse named Lena. She says Lena did everything for her even drove her to and from surgery.
