Boris Cosmetics, the office Dr. Hughes practices out of is a busy office. Be prepared with all questions you may have for the doctor (s). Adam is a great go to person in the office as well. Dr Hughes will answer your questions in person and by phone but keep in mind he is always running between consults and surgeries so be prepared in your mind the info you want to leave with and be prepared to hear the truth. He does not sugar coat his responses but he truly does amazing work and will get you as closely as possible to your desired results.. I have my 1st follow up this Friday I will add a rating at a later time for that portion. :)

You look great! Lucky you! You're seeing you're results already me on the other hand is still big and swollen with lots stiffness and numbness.
Awe thank you.. Swelling did take a bit longer than i thought it would too. Sounds like you just had procedures done.. it took a couple of months for my swelling to go down and for my boobs to drop.....Its hard to be patient just give your body a little time!!! Take care!
Hi, I'm having Dr Huges di lipo on me in two weeks and just wanted to know what you think about him and his work?
Congrats on your decision! His work is fantastic he really is passionate and good at what he does. At first I was a bit hesitant about my first impression of him. He made comments that reflected he was full of himself.. but honestly since his work was that good...who care's if he's conceited... I'd still highly recommend him! Good luck, wear the garment. and take arnica.. you will look great!!!
Thank you so much, I had lipo years ago and never wore any foam just a garmet. What is this lipo foam I hear everyone talking about and did you take arnica pills or the cream?
...I'm not familiar with the foam.. for tummy and flanks I was instructed to use tight fabric garment...do your homework on what will get you your max results :) . re: arnica I took the pills. I began 1 week prior to surgery and a couple of weeks after... I bruise very easily and these pills helped significantly... You can purchase at a health vitamin store and can purchase b/w $10 - $15.
Thank you so much, your awesome!
:) Good luck!!! Post some after pics too!
I will, thanks for all your help.

Great photo! You are one hot mama!!
Awe thank you!.. Good luck with your recovery! The first few days I felt like a train hit me, but after 1 full week started to feel much better... I hope you do too! Keep us posted :)
How many cc's did you get and what cup size are you now? What profile? Under or over the muscle? And with the lipo, how many... poke holes... did you have and what parts did they suck out? Not very technical with my lipo terms yet, but if I dont get results that I want with working out before my BA I was considering ab lipo. My belly has always poked out. Even as a teenager. I am wanting to at least get in the habit of exercising before surgery so I dont get the weird lumpy bits of new fat.
I went from a full b to a full D... 500 cc's under muscle silicone gel inserted in crease under breast.... i believe it was moderate profile due to the circumference of my breast 13+" Victoria Secrets im b/w a 36d and 36dd. Just bought a new Venus bikini online and the d cup fits perfectly.. I know this sounds like my breast are huge.. but they really are not.. this size was a good match for me. Working out is great before and well my doctor allowed a month after check with yours.. you are petite with a small problem area (The pooch!) mine was much bigger after the twins!.. Im not a doc but it seems you would be a perfect candidate for tummy lipo! GOOD LUCK!
Do you feel like the lipo was worth the extra money so far? Are you abs completely flat now? How has the recovery been? Were the boobs or the abs more sore?
Def. feel it was worth it! :) Sure beats the expense and pain of a tummy tuck! Luckily I did not have to go that route.. I had reasonable expectations based on the consult with doctor. He said that having three kids and being in my late 30's my stomach is not as elastic as my younger days and I would have some lose skin.. my tummy is flat and honestly only at touch or sitting can you so see some looseness to the skin wear my pooch was.. My results were honestly better than I anticipaated. I had my sides (flanks) done at the same time too that was more sore and uncomfortable than my tummy and boobs! I'm fully recovered and am on a weight loss challenge I was a size 8 prior to surgery i'm now a size 6 and working on the size 4.. Ill post more pics once Im there! :)

Was the lipo very painful? You look great btw...
Thank you..it wasnt too bad.. I do recall the sides (flanks) being really sensitive and sore after lipo and took a little more time to recover..but I dont regret at all! Its been 1yr 1/2 and my tummy and abs are more defined than in my 20's... Ill post a pick soon..Good luck should you decide to do lipo.. btw you are a lovely young lady :) !
