ORIGINAL POST

So I finally decided to post something I'm I'm so...

WORTH IT$7,000
So I finally decided to post something I'm I'm so confused between doctors. I've gone to two consultations with Dr. Hughes and Dr. Bruno I have no idea which one I want I like them both. Dr. Hughes offered me 800cc per cheek Dr. Bruno on the other hand says he won't be able to tell until the procedures over I feel like Dr. Hughes could give me a bigger bed like Dr. Bruno could sculpt me better. Dr. Hughes said I don't need to gain any wt. Dr. Bruno told me I need to gain about 15 pounds. They are so totally different I don't know what to do I am so torn. Dr Hughes seemed really rushed during our consultation and a bit cocky. I have a really square flat butt and def am looking for volume but also shape. I'm 5'5 135lbs. Has anyone had similar experiences with either of these doctors.

I want to go to Hughes because of girls that I've seen here & also because I'm in la too but I havnt had a consultation yet. Also ive heard lots of Bruno girls complain but idk it's up to you and what you want.. I can't wait to get this done! When r u planning on getting this procedure done?

I'm planning on February 3 most because I have to gain about 15 pounds. The thing with Hughes is I'm afraid that I'll just get a big ol bitt with no shape and I know that Dr. Bruno is very specific about giving you the good waist to hip ratio especially with my square flat butt. I also have big boobs that I got done about 12 years ago and they definitely don't match my butt. When are you getting yours which doctors are you seeing

That is verry true! Well I've just seen Afifi but after a couple reviews I decided I shouldn't go with her and since I want to stay in my area I'm thinking Hughes but ugh it's so hard to trust a dr I don't want to end up looking like I wasn't thinking of.. & I'm still breast feeding so I havnt seen more drs yet roll I'm done then ill decide when I'll get my sx

Hi congratulations in beginning your journey. I was in your position a few months ago, I'm 13 days post op with Dr. Hughes but I'm not biased. Let me just tell you, if you want sculpting, Dr. Bruno is not the Dr. for you, Dr. Hughes is one of the best sculptors, yes he gives big booties but he also gives smaller natural looking ones, he'll give you what you ask for. I will admit he does come across as cocky, but I think it's just how confident he is. Now if he's not for you, I highly recommend you see Dr. Payam Jarrah-Nejad and Dr. Dennis Dass, both are in Beverly Hills, and their prices are not much more than Dr. Hughes. As far as the weight gain, unless you are absolutely fit and have no fat, don't gain too much weight, unless you plan to keep it, otherwise when you lose that extra weight, you will also lose your butt. Good luck!

Go to dr. Hughes. He is much better. I can tell you from experience dr. Bruno is not that good. I had my revision w/ dr. Hughes.

Congratulations, I believe you made the right choice. Now that you've made your choice you'll probably switch gears to preparing. Don't worry about getting tons of supplies, not even a garment. Dr. Hughes will give you a garment and the only supplies you'll probably need are peroxide, arnica gel, anti-itch cream/gel, comfortable clothes (maxi dresses, sweatsuits), boppy pillow, a urinal (I used a styrofoam cup), iron, vitamins, bromelain & arnica. I bought the vitamedica kit, which includes the last 3 items for $92 on Amazon and I highly recommend it.

No problem it happens lol. I know it can get overwhelming, that's why I wanted to make sure you didn't start buying all these unnecessary things, because costs can quickly add up. I'm officially 2 weeks post op and I'm doing pretty good, I think the worst part is over, I still don't feel 100% but I'm getting closer each day, thanks for asking.

Thanku I think I got carried away by the beautiful office and location where Dr. Bruno is. Dr. Hughes should get his own office away from Boris cosmetics there was quite a few homeless people with shopping carts in front of the building. Nothing against them it was just kind of weird to walk into a plastic surgeons office with that in sight.

Yeah I was skeptical too at first but I read all his reviews and saw everyone was happy w/ his results. My first surgery was in Beverly Hills so I didn't know what to expect but I'm glad I went w/ him.

November 24, 2013
Yes I'm starting to feel more comfortable with my decision I have spent countless night reading his reviews and there'll good. Now I'm just starting to freak out about the post care. I didn't see any pictures of your revision with him did I miss something I only saw the ones with Dr. Gavanhi
