6 days after surgery, 1st check up
First review after my surgery, was just trying to take it easy. I've decided to do posterior butt lift and Brazilian butt lift at the same time. The Brazilian butt lift costs me another $3000.
For The past 3 days i felt there was a bump with fluid inside my right thigh. Nurses at pearl Said that It was nothing, so i ignore It and Then last Night i felt It was getting big, so i emailed Dr Hughes and he told me to come first thing today. I Went and was met by Olga, she is Such an angle. She took 100 cc of liquid from my right thigh and Fixed every single things that i've Been doing Wrong: The drain, even How to close It, The benders, Just About every single thing was wrong. I was so devastated where I stayed at this very nice place for recovery, paid top notch and they don't know what they were doing! But, my stitches are healing very well. So, that's good to hear. I was told that i could go back to My Country but, i thought i would wait another week. Just to make sure everything is OK. I'll put pictures later

I love reading your reviews. I LOL a lot reading your comments and other people's. It's amazing How strangers can be so close and never even meet because of this common thing: butt!

Hello tobiana, glad to hear your doing well. Sorry to hear about the recover house.. good thing you went to see Olga right away, she is a sweetheart! Hope your doing better now! :)

Yes, thank u! I read your review and agreed that Dr. H is such a great surgeon! He truly knows what I want. My result is exactly like I wanted: not big, just normal butt minus the sagging skin. I did a half body lift with my bbl so, by day 7 I feel so much better! I also admired your bravery on taking 5.5 hours drive back to the house just days after surgery. Your husband seems great to support you. So different than my husband that doesn't want anything to do with my surgeries. He supports me by letting me go period. He even said that I should come back when I am 100% healed! Lol! Thanks for sharing your journey with me

Hi hun. I'm so glad to hear that you are ok. Think it's wise of you to wait another week before going on the flight home. I wish you the best and a speedy recovery **

7 days pre
6 more days before I have to fly 24 hours. Scary thought!
I have butterfly in my stomach this late afternoon, sweating hands and thinking what on earth am I doing travel that far for a surgery? My husband never complains about how I look like and certainly my kids could care less. So, why do I care so much about my butt? If I hadn't paid full amount, maybe I would called it off. I guess that's why they are required future patients to pay full amount to secure a date. I bought tickets, give my cc for Pearly so I can stay there for the next 5 days after the surgery, paid the airbnb for the next 7 days after Pearl before heading home. I've spent an obscene amount of money for this butt, for something that I guess I am the only person that care about how my behind looks like. crazy. But, what's done is done. I am going to LA this Sunday, wish me luck ladies. I really need it.

I'll update you after couple of days. I am sure I'll be writing all lot since I don't have anything to do.
February 16, 2015
Wow grl. just found you here and you're on your way now. I'm so happy for you and glad to see that I'm not the only one having a long flight. My travel is going to be about 12-15 hours in total - from Denmark to Miami. I understand fully why you chose the RH, there you can have the support you need. Look forward to hear your next update - but for now: Relax and take care of yourself :) Happy healing.

When are you going to do yours? Do u have anyone with you? Keep me in touch with your journey. Good luck
February 17, 2015
I'm going May 2'th and will have the srg (BBL) May 5'th. I don't have anyone with me - that's why I'm staying at the RH. I think I would feel very lonely in a hotel room or condor.
February 17, 2015
I agree. Having a support system in whatever form is very important to go through this jouney. The Owner of The Pearl came yesterday to Greet me and make sure that I am OK and assured me that everything Will be FINE and she'll take Care of me. That's really Nice to hear knowing that i have no One here in this Country to help take Care of me. I'll keep you posted including my journey back home. I am staying for two weeks after The surgery to make sure that i am really fit to fly home
February 19, 2015
That's nice :) I'll also stay for 2 weeks after srg. Right now it's the flight home I fear the most. we'll be in touch **
February 17, 2015
Good luck tobiana! I will be having sx with Dr. Hughes tomorrow as well!
February 17, 2015
Really? What time? They told me to coma at 9:30. Good luck on your procedure! I am so nervous
