BBL Dr. Hughes - Los Angeles, CA

Hello ladies I finally had the courage to do my review! I'm do compute illiterate and thought It would be hard? I really want to do my review as a way to give back to all the great ladies on RS that have given me great advise on my journey!

A little about me, I'm in my wonderful 40s:)!! Im 5-4 and my weight before I started my journey was 120-125-lb. I gamed about 20-lb in preparation for bbl, went up to 140-lb. I saw three different doctors and decided to ho with Hughes, because of the results I saw on this site.

I had my procedure done yesterday. I had lipo of upper/lower abdomen, flanks, back, inner and outer thighs. Pain is not bad, I basically feel really... Sore all over. I have been taking my pain medication around the clock and plan on doing so for at least 24-hrs. I'm swollen all over including face. I have
been walking around the house and drinking lots of fluids. I will try to post some pictures.

Morning ladies, just a quick update. This recovery is tough!! I had a good day yesterday, but this morning woke up nauseous and feel like I might have a slight fever? Still swollen, I have small eyes and with the swelling they are almost shut close. When I'm up and walking swelling on face gets better but my legs and ankles swell more!! Regardless I have to keep moving and drinking water!! Not much drainage any more! I'm home alone today during the day and will be for the rest of my recovery. Happy healing to all.

Hello ladies! Sorry I've been MIA, this recovery has been a roller coaster. I have good days and I think the worst is over, and then the back pain and swelling again....!! I think it was on Wed that I had a breakdown, I was soo frustrated I cried like a baby and questioned my decision? I still have a lot of swelling, but it's going down, I weight myself this AM and I'm down about 3-lb from Tuesday. The entire right side of my body from face to feet is more swollen than the left including my lady parts? Has anyone else experienced this? Ladies don't obsess over weight, I only weighted myself to see if I was excreting fluids from my body! Again the hardest part has been not been able to sit or sleep freely and the darn white binder!! I have not left the house since my surgery. I had my follow up appt on Friday but, had to reschedule for Monday, hubby had a work issue and could not take me, and I didn't feel ready to drive, it's about an hour drive without traffic. I think I have lost some volume on but? To be expected, I guess? I still weight about 5.5-lb more from presurgery weight, so I still have a lot of retained fluid, hope I don't loose too much volume. I feel really isolated and lonely some days!! But, that's my bad, I decided I didn't want to tell anyone about my surgery. I did tell my BFF, but unfortunately she is far away! Can't really say much about results at this time, I have days where I'm like "yea it looks good an big and days where I think I don't see big difference ". But, I'm trying not to obsess about it too much, again, too early! That's it for now. Happy healing to all :)
