There are not many GREAT specialists in Fat Transfer around and those who criticize it apparently don't know Dr Hughes techniques.
I did not want to get silicone or other type of implants and was very excited to learn about fat transfer option on the internet. I studied what I could about the procedure on the internet and decided I really wanted it if I have enough fat in my body to harvest for this procedure. I came to the consultation to find out if I was a good candidate. Dr Hughes confirmed even with my relatively small harvest area in the abdomen and the flanks he could still get the results I wanted. Before the procedure I was 131lb, and my breasts were between size A and size B. I know that within 6 months up to 50% of injected fact can be absorbed by the body. It's been 10 days after the procedure and I am now between size B and C (enjoying this improvement before I potentially lose it). Even if 50% of injected fat is gone eventually, I will be full size B, which is still a good result for me. I was injected between 300-330cc into each breast during the procedure which is about average size for these types of procedures.
I was a little concerned about the shape of my breasts as it was pretty much up to the doctor to decide on the shape during the procedure, but I was very impressed with his work, I love the shape he gave me and overall my expectations were exceeded. They look symmetrical and there are no inconsistencies of any kind.
The surgery was between 1.5 and 2 hours. The recovery was about 1 week. First 2 days I was in bed and it hurt to move, which is normal after lipo from what I heard. Then it became much easier to move around but I stayed at home for about a week just to be safe. After one week I could go out and walk around town easily and returned to my normal activities. I am still sore in spots but its getting better every day.
The bottom line is I was not hot before, now I look hot!!!! The area of fat harvesting was liposuction-ed very well with only 2 tiny incisions in the pubic area. I heard other doctors do like 5-6 incisions for this kind of liposuction, but again Dr Hughes kicks ass all these other doctors who are just not that creative and talented.
I would highly recommend this doctor to all of my friends and family if they ever need a cosmetic procedure done. Dr Hughes is an artistic genius who can deliver great results.
Disclaimer - he is a man of few words, so don't expect a lot of chit chat.

Brilliant result. Please up date in another few weeks. How was the recovery from the lipo sites?
December 28, 2014
Thank you for your comment, Secretlife. I have uploaded more images of my after lipo abdomen just now (hopefully you can see them). Lipo area is supposed to heal within 3 to 6 months completely, but even after 12 days I see great results already.

Thanks so much for updating, you look great. X

The pix. are great! I'm 6 days out for mine and my boob feels like it is going to come out of my chest. Red underneath and starting to have bumps. Tried to push on them and it made a brusie and hurts/burns too. They took it from my stomach and that area is so bruised. What day are the pix from again?

I am sorry to hear about your post op experiences. I did not have any of that. No bruising, no redness, no bumps, nothing. The pictures I posted have captions on them, I believe they are 2 day post -op, 4day, 10 day and 12 day. I wish you speedy recovery.

Was the cost really only $6,000?

Wow the procedure has come a long way since 5 yrs ago when i did research on it. After seeing before and after pictures, I wasn't too impressed and thought there was nothing I could do. I'm glad I came across this site, amazing job....kudos to the doctors who are giving women a safer more natural way to have beautiful breast. Lovin it!!!

Excellent! Seriously considering visiting him to see what he thinks is possible. He seems to get the most consistent, good results.

Do you know how much he removed? Looks like the smoothest lipo I have EVER seen! Congrats!
December 29, 2014
Around 650cc was removed, i think i was injected 330ccs into each breast. Thank you for your comment, I am very pleased.

I think about 20% of fat is gone, but the breasts look more natural. They also feel softer, not as hard and the pain is gone too. I keep my fingers crossed I won't absorb the fat as I really want to keep this size.

Boobs look great! My boobs are smaller from breastfeeding n want to have this procedure after my next child. It was $6k for lipo of abs n transfer to breasts?
December 31, 2014
Yes the total price for everything was $6000
December 31, 2014
Thanks for sharing your story, your lipo looks great, you look great! My I ask your age ? That is amazing that your doctor was able to your surgery not using very many sites. I don't think that I have read that before. I am so happy for you !
December 31, 2014
I am 35, thank you for your comment! I was surprised too, I think some people have more tissue than fat, and some have little tissue and more fat, and turned out I was the latter, I think he harvested more fat that originally planned. I am so thrilled.
