WORTH IT$5,500
Okay so researching for months Dr. Hughes was my first choice for a BBL. instead i got influenced for the cheaper,dangerous and latino booty loving road to the Dominican Republic with the infamous Cabral.(hes had a few deaths but has done lots of models). Actually i was booked with Dr.Baez she happily took my money before i came after seeing my photos, but when i get there she turns me away because i didnt have enough fat on me. To me this means shes not talented enough to work with slimmer girls. Because Duran and Cabral did a lot of skinnier girls than me.. She was actually turning away a few girls there for different reasons and they were crying.. coming all the way there that sucks!!! i also had to chase her up to get my money back.. so its a rush to find another doctor!! The other girls in the house were insistent on Cabral, hes King of Barbies right? For me it was such a hard crazy experience because of the language barrier and i probably caused harm to my recovery because no one was able to explain to me how to wear the garment (or to put pads underneath so it doesnt crinkle) and now i have a wave and hard bumps in my stomach which absolutely horrified me, since my stomach has always been nice, i just put on weight for this surgery purposely after having abs. Thank god one of the girls i met at the recovery house recommended endermology and its slowly flattening out the bumps! because she was uneven aswel possibly from him doing uneven lipo. hundreds of dollars later spent on the endermology! such an annoying small thing i wish i knew to put pads under the girdle! no after care whatsoever. yes we do crazy things to our bodies to get the desired look we want. squats do not get u that gorgeous ghetto booty, u need that fat transfer! i think if u can speak spanish and go with a friend you might have a good experience there. the nurses were very sweet and helpful in the Real recovery armonia. Thank god.
the waiting times at the hospital were literally unbearable... id be there the whole day just waiting to get some answers or to have a consult or speak to the doctor. they did not give a [RS bleep] how many hours you sat waiting there. i even fell asleep in the waiting area being there 7 til 5pm. After paying like 3500 for lipo arms thighs stomach n lower back... i wake up with only tummy n lower back done which was really annoying because i keep most of my fat in my thighs. but im guessing he was doing a lot of girls that day and didnt have time to do what i asked. Or he knew he wasnt the best at doing thighs and did wat he does best (snatching the waist). so i knew when i was recovered id have to wait there the whole day to try and get some of my money back which is what happened.
They used some sort of dodgy spinal injection anaestesia on me which gave me the worst headaches for a week. for someone who never gets head aches it was like wtf is happening to me? i couldnt sit up to eat or come out of my room for days because it was soo painful, i literally thought i may die... lol. but supposedly 1 out 100 girls get that. when i went back to the hospital to get my fluid out i noticed there were heaps of girls getting treated for those bad headaches probli because theres sooo many girls going there its like a factory!!! when i woke up after surgery i stayed there shivering over night, fainting when i went to the toilet and was vomiting on myself the next day in a wheel chair in front of public people walking into the hospital, lost all dignity!!!...and wasnt able to have a shower all week because the water is unclean there and not safe for after surgery. There was also a lot of dramas happening in the house with other girls like screaming matches and stealing. Luckily my room mate was a lovely dominican girl who helped me get money back by talking in spanish and let me borrow some of her things like lipo foam, medical tape, gauzes etc. she was probably my saving grace there! Anyways i just hope my experience helps some foreign girls in making their decisions about where to go.
Now i wanna talk about my experience with Dr. Hughes, im second day post surgery in my comfortable hotel room that has 24hour room service. i had a nice warm shower today and my awesome in call nurse brought me beautiful organic food! shes literally a beautiful person and we chat for hours! the anaestesiologist there was sooo lovely and made me feel so comfortable. the process was so quick and easy i didnt feel nervous or stressed at all. i woke up and had the shivers and she put a hot blanket over me it was sooo nice! and then gave me something really good for pain! i walked straight out of the back of the hospital into the back seat of my nurses car where i could lay down :) not into a van sitting with heaps of other girls! i was even up walking around chatting for hours that same day of surgery. no vomiting, head aches or nausea!!! Couldnt believe the difference in these experiences.... instead of like 5 different pills at one time i just have one antibiotic and one awesome oxycodone pain killer every 8 hours.. i swear everything is just so much easier!!! you really get what you pay for!!!
Dr. Hughes incisions are so tiny aswell, i feel like they are going to be hardly noticable! he really listened to my fear of scars because i noticed he used the same incision for thigh lipo to put fat into the bum :) i hardly have any bruising on my arms at all and my booty is looking like the perfect booty i always wanted!!! im so excited to get into a bikini!! and be done with these BBL surgeries!!! actually if i ever did decide to do another one in the future just to put some extra fat in there, id definitely go to Dr. Hughes...Such an easy experience, Its more expensive but the details are soo worth it.. and if i had gone there in the first place i actually would have saved a lot more money... Love visiting LA!!! so much more to do and see here! ill put up fotos when all my bandages are off :)
I wish you girls all the best on your BBL journey!

That's a very good deal!
August 1, 2015
I was laughing so hard when you said "he had a few deaths but did a lot of models". Def sounds comforting lol.
I had my BBL with dr Hughes on April 27 and I'm 3 months post op. I love dr. Hughes and my results. My friends are yelling it me for trying to show off my booty in every picture I take lol

August 2, 2015
Hey guys how much is bbl Dr Hughes...?
August 2, 2015
he gave me a deal for 3 areas $5500 but im quite slim, enquire with him :)
August 7, 2015
It's a huge deal. I have read most of Dr. Hughes real self stories and I am pretty sure he is an expert on his surgeries, but I don't understand why some patients get charge over 9,000 for the procedure. You are very lucky. Congratulations!
September 3, 2015
It's interesting you mentioned this because I was that quoted 10500 plus 1500 for a bbl. Amazing

You look fantastic! I'm thinking about round two for some minor touch ups. I noticed that you didn't pay the full ten grand that most pacients do. Is that because you were only getting a touch up?
August 4, 2015
hey thanks alot! yeah i only got inner thigh, outer thigh and arms to bbl. i think he could only transfer 400cc dont think i had much fat on me! probably very different for other people wanting bbls. what are your touch ups?

Oh cool! I have dimples on my butt, but I'm not sure they can even be fixed. They weren't there before SX, and I'm only 7 weeks, and going through another SX seems like such a pain, but I'm sort of sad about the dimples. I'm not sure if it's
Swelling though because some days they look worse then other days.
August 5, 2015
Bealove, I read butt dimples that some bbl dolls have now, that you always had them before but u never noticed them until now since u got ur bbl. They were small but they got bigger do to bbl. U just didn't noticed them before since they were tiny before. Thats what I read from a doctor. Some doctorswill not tell u the outcome.

Thanks for that info. I read the same thing. I would like more projection though.
August 5, 2015
Can you share why you decided to go to Dr. Hughs vs Dr Cabral since you went with him for ur first bbl. I love dr cabral and Dr duran work but I would be definitely be worried going out of USA. I Live in LA and sure who to fo with. I've been foing my own research for the past three years, I learned a lot. I even have a book full of notes with titles / subjects with good notes and info. lol. I want someone to five me the same results as cabral and duran here in LA. By the way you look good. Love ur body.
August 5, 2015
Typo * Give * not five. Not sure who to go with.
August 7, 2015
I live in la
I'm going to colombia. Researched it to death. Colombia is safe and clean and the aftercare is amazing
