Liposuction: Before & After Photos
Surgeries performed by award winning Los Angeles plastic surgeon, Dr. Kenneth Hughes
Before | After |
Dr. Hughes specializes in thinner patient liposuction and Brazilian buttlifts (BBLs). This patient is obviously thin, but sometimes the pictures do not do the results or the starting point justice. This patient was refused by many other surgeons due to the lack of body fat. Dr. Hughes can frequently get 800 cc or more fat per buttock (1600 cc of pure fat from liposuction). This creates a very noticeable difference in patients with smaller frames, because the surface area of the buttocks is frequently much smaller than the surface area of the buttocks in larger patients. If a patient does not enough fat (which is rare), Dr. Hughes performs a great number of buttock implant procedures as well. Sometimes the buttock implants can be combined with hip fat transfer to produce the best results for a thinner patient.

This was a male patient who had loose skin on the abdomen and very little fat. Dr. Hughes was able to harvest enough fat through liposuction to produce a significant change in overall body shape while leaving the abdomen looking better and smoother than before surgery. Liposuction removes fat and never improves skin. In fact, it has the potential to make skin worse because you are taking volume out (much like taking air out of a balloon – it wrinkles as the volume decreases). However, Dr. Hughes is extremely skilled at producing a vey uniform liposuction flap, which allows for the best redrape of the skin envelope to the underlying abdominal wall. The buttock projection and roundness are improved as well for the Brazilian buttlift portion of the surgery.

Admittedly, the after pictures represent an early surgical result with bruising and swelling. However, these pictures also show that the results of the liposuction are dramatic despite the great deal of swelling. Dr. Hughes frequently takes pictures of patients a few days after surgery, because many of his patients fly in for surgery and only stay in town for a short period of time. Thus, sometimes these are the best pictures that can be obtained. Ideally, Dr. Hughes would like to see all of this patients in the office for follow-up throughout the entire follow-up process, but that may not be realistic in many cases.

Dr. Hughes performed liposuction of the abdomen, sides, waist, flanks, lower back, and bra rolls and transferred fat to the buttocks and hips. The Brazilian buttlift involved a transfer of more than 2000 cc per buttock (over 4000 cc or 4 liters in total). The patient also had a 5 liter liposuction for the procedure. The patient had a great deal of loose skin on the abdomen and a great deal of fat. Dr. Hughes flattened the belly or abdomen and made the rolls of skin seemingly disappear. Of course, liposuction never improves skin but Dr. Hughes liposuctions the areas so evenly and smoothly that he allows the patients the best chance of healing in smooth fashion.

This patient underwent liposuction of the abdomen, sides, lower back, flanks, and bra rolls along with the Brazilian buttlift and fat transfer to the hips. The waist was reduced by 9 inches and the hips were subtly increased as was buttock projection. In many cases, Dr. Hughes tries to get exactly what the patient wants within reason. Some patient expectations can never be met despite optimal surgical intervention, and it is very important to recognize these patients ahead of time. Dr. Hughes in fact videotapes all surgical results to prevent patients from saying that they were botched or things of that nature. The video results are indisputable evidence to the contrary.

This patient had obvious skin laxity particularly in the lower part of the abdomen as well as a great deal of fat in the circumferential trunk. Dr. Hughes performed liposuction 360 or 360 degree liposuction with fat transfer to the buttocks and hips. Liposuction and the Brazilian buttlift can really produce a much better hourglass figure with better buttock roundness, projection, and symmetry.

Impeccable and uncompromising smoothness are the hallmarks of the liposuction and Brazilian buttlifts that Dr. Hughes performs. No one will get a more perfectly smooth result in these surgeries. Even in the most scarred of revisions when patients have given up, Dr. Hughes can completely transform a patient, his or her body, and the outlook on the future.

This patient has a very square physique and love handles with minimal buttock projection and hips. Dr. Hughes was able to liposuction many parts of her body and produce a very dramatic result in a patient who had a smaller amount of fat. Notice the smoothness of the postoperative result with regard to the areas liposuctioned as well as the improvement in body proportions with the fat transfer to the buttocks and hips with the Brazilian buttlift technique.

This is another spectacular result in a patient with some loose skin and a very square shape. This patient underwent liposuction of the abdomen, sides, lower back, bra rolls and fat transfer to the buttocks and hips (Brazilian buttlift, BBL). The abdomen is perfectly smooth and there is an obvious improvement in hourglass shape as well as buttock projection and roundness.

This patient had some loose skin on the abdomen, but she wanted to undergo liposuction of the abdomen, sides, and lower back with fat transfer to the buttocks and hips. She obviously represents a thinner patient and the goal to is get a dramatic result while maintaining smoothness even in those patients with a looser skin envelope. This ability to extract fat maximally and retain smoothness is seldom realized and requires immense skill.
