WORTH IT
I have struggled my whole life with a soft, pudgy belly. Despite any diet or fitness plan, I had a stubborn deposit of fat that would not go away and made me exceedly self conscious. I made a vow in 2017 to take action and get a consultation for an expert opinion to help me address this area.
After an examination of the area that troubled me, and looking for advice on what I should do, Dr. Hughes suggested trying BodyTite.
Ultimately, I had two passes of the BodyTite Laser with Dr. Hughes.
I was under conscious for the first procedure on my lower abdomen on May 12th, 2017. In all honesty, it wasn’t a very pleasant experience to be awake for but the results were immediate. Within a day I was back at work. Within 6 weeks I was mostly healed and able to wear the binder part time with most of the swelling subsided.
I followed up in December 2017 to see if the BodyTite laser could be done on my upper abdomen and chest to help the soft skin show more definition in those areas. Dr. Hughes suggested I go under for this procedure as he could “really fry me” (get as much skin tightening as possible without worrying about my discomfort). I got the second pass of BodyTite on December 27th, 2017.
Overall, I have been extremely happy with the results. I even held off writing this review until a point where I knew I was fully healed and all major swelling is gone. Be aware when you have a procedure like this, you will go thru the ups and downs of the immediate gratification of seeing a huge change on your body, then weeks of swelling. It definitely takes time to heal, and there were points I reached out to Dr. Hughes to get some reassurance it was normal. I personally would suggest paying the extra fee to go under (as I had the procedure in sensitive areas) it was a much easier experience the second round.
For a minimally invasive procedure and virtually no visible scars, I would recommend talking to Dr Hughes. He will be frank and realistic about what to expect.
My body has changed in ways that has helped my self confidence in ways I can’t describe.

U look great
How much did you pay?
Omg you look AMAZING! I’m so encouraged by your review because I paid Dr. Hughes a $1,000 non-refundable deposit for BodyTite to my knees and the back of my thighs. Then I got concerned when I read other reviews that the swelling was immense and lasts for months and months. I got worried about how would I still be able to wear my clothes and not wanting people at work to know I did something. Anyway, your results are mind-blowing. Congrats and thanks for sharing.
how much was the cost and was it under local anesthesia?
what was the total cost for these results
