I like the fact that my new butt has some more volume and better shape to it. However personally for the amount we pay in Beverly Hills i do not think it was worth it to drop 11K to just add 2 inches of fat to my butt. If I could have done something different is either consider another procedure since I was too thin and did not get such a nice result as others that have more to work with. Or i would have traveled to Miami instead since prices over there are about 5K and there's petite women with beautiful proportionate results that have gone over there. It took years to save the money and i am completely happy with my first surgery (breast augmentation) but the BBL could have been better for the price. I do not blame the doctor because he did what he could, I am responsible for not doing more research on thin women with nice results. Anyway, I have learned to like my results regardless and not dwell on what could have been since it is not. I've lost 3" of volume since my surgery. My weight is stable ever since weighing at about 127 lbs. My size 0 pants fit tight yay. Now I'm a good size 3 or comfortable 5 in jeans.

@chapisa thank you hun :) i havent talked to him lately. since all surgeons say not all the fat will survive im thinking that is what he would say. he said he was able to get a total of 960cc per side but thats with the hips fat transfer as well. now it looks like i only got about 700cc left.

I love how your jeans look :) but like you said you expected a lot more... I've gained a bit of weight for the same reason I don't want to be too thin and not have enough fat

Aww! I'm sorry you didn't get the results you wanted!!! I'm hoping my final results don't make me wish I'd gone to Miami, because yes the women that go there mostly all emerge with booty like bam!!! The bomb.com

i hope not and that you love your results. i was very happy with mine up until 5 weeks thats when volume dropped down the most. how many cc's did he give you on each cheek? yes most miami girls walk out with bubble butts which is what i wanted but an upside down heart shape is still nice.
October 15, 2016
I don't know how many cc he put in. I'll ask on Monday.

thank you! i feel good one more week to go so i can start exercising i'm excited about that. i've lost almost 2 inches in volume so i'm looking forward to doing butt work outs to maintain and tone what i have left.

It's only one month! It could come back better than ever in about two months! Plus I thik it'll get softer and a little higher as it fluffs. Seriously this looks great and youre not even halfway done healing (I mean healing by getting what is going to stay forever!)

really? i was thinking that it will get softer and hopefully fluff if im lucky although when i asked dr hughes about when does it usually fluff he told me that it's a word often used when talking about bbl's but that it does not exist to him :/ i hope in my case it does though. i do like my new butt better that it was regardless but once 3 months pass i will know how my possibly permanent results are. i'm being patient since my abdomen has a lot of healing to do still. i'm bummed that although he did lipo on my lower back, the swelling that i've had for years started back up again and that makes my butt look lower than it is but once again i'm better than when i started. i will continue to update next week and monthly after that for the first year yay thanks for your motivation in making my journey as positive as can be :)

Doctors are obsessed with being exact sometimes. Sure it won't double in size or change completely in shape or size but the body does seem to settle in after a few months of care. Swelling goes down, butt gets softer and "fluffier."Hang in there there's still so much swelling and you probably know that even a little swelling makes a huge difference. Just think about how different women look when they're bloated from their periods!

Literally almost everyone who gets it says they fluff. LOL whose opinion do you trust? I'm sure Dr. Hughes hasn't gotten a BBL ;)

i trust in the ladies that have gotten the BBL's do i'm expecting this butt to fluff! LOL. I have also read reviews when ladies say their butt seems like it got bigger and it's probably due to the swelling going down in other areas. So it will take time but i have no regrets. He gave me what he could considering i had a low amount of fat. What i really like is that now my butt has a shape and before my cheeks appeared to basically be running down my legs haha. Thanks doll :)
