Game Changing Cosmetic Surgeon!! BEST in the Field!!

Hi,

I did Liposuction and Bodytite on my left arm with Doctor Kenneth Hughes. I am now just over a month post my surgery - and the result is amazing and its just been a month! My arm is almost half the size it was prior to the surgery! I thank him with all my heart!!! So so happy!!! :)

I would like to share my story. I did coolsculpting on my left arm, thankfully on LEFT ARM only …since the procedure was so painful so didn’t continue with right hand! Soon after my painful procedure I unfortunately got PAH (Paradoxical adipose hyperplasia)!!! - PAH basically causes the treated area to become much larger than it was prior to procedure and it’s a sad side effect which some people undergoing coolsculpting face!!! So the treated area expands instead of decreasing. Hence, my treated arm became so huge and saggy that I couldn’t wear sleeveless or short sleeves as it would expose my bat wings :( !! Moreover, it was getting difficult to even wear the long sleeves as my right arm was fine so that side the sleeves fitted well but the left arm always felt so tight and uncomfortable. I had to wear oversize dresses till I finally decided to get rid of my bat wing. I had to undergo liposuction as it was the only solution I had, since there is no other way to treat PAH other than surgery.

I did my research for good 3-4 weeks consulting various Doctors in Los Angeles and going through various comments and reviews on Realself (amazing site I must say), and then went for my treatment to Dr. Kenneth Hughes. I had read amazing reviews he received on various sites, going through Doctor’s comprehensive website, his pre and post-surgery pictures, his education and skills background, counting on his experience and most importantly Doctor’s confidence that he could reduce my arm’s size by at least 2 inches, an indicative number which wasn’t promised by anyone else during my research. I was also convinced that Liposuction along with Bodytite would give me optimum tightening results and also avoid any risk of wrinkles post procedure.

Doctor did my Liposuction and Bodytite procedure skilfully that it went so smooth and post the procedure I had virtually no pain - I took only 1 pain killer on the day of treatment and never after that. No nausea… it was just so comfortable, painless!!! I was in fact in much more in pain post my non-invasive coolsculpting procedure!!!!

I am so happy that I found Doctor Kenneth Hughes and I can’t thank him enough for what he has done for me…!! I have got a new life! :) 5 +++ stars!!!

How many cc's did he take out?
He took out 500 cc
Out of each arm? Or all together?
NO I did liposuction and bodytite only for left arm. I had coolsculpting done only on LEFT ARM, as it was painful so i didn't go ahead with the right hand. Hence I got PAH only on left arm. He took out 500 cc ONLY on ONE ARM.
Ide heard that coolsculp can enlarge the treated area ! Didn't know it had a name. Must have been gut wrenching. At least it could be fixed.
Yeah it was reeeally sad to have experienced its side effect!! Yeah true it could be fixed. Just happy about it now.
OK. Gotcha. Your arms look great though.
Yeah they really do :).. thanks!!!
