Dr. Kenneth Benjamin Hughes, MD
Plastic Surgeon
In addition, Dr. Kenneth Hughes helps to elucidate to patients the various complications associated with medical problems going into surgery and complications associated with specific surgeries. Dr. Kenneth Benjamin Hughes is a liposuction and Brazilian buttlift revision expert who educates on the prevention of complications including fat death prevention, fat emboli prevention, and fluid collection prevention. Dr. Kenneth Hughes altered his fat transfer techniques in 2015, 3 years before ASPS recommended the change due to high number of patient deaths in the Brazilian buttlift due to deeper injections.
Dr. Kenneth Hughes has also developed an extensive reconstructive practice in treating those patients who have had silicone, hydrogel, PMMA, and biopolymer removal. These injections can lead to deformities, pain, skin death or skin necrosis, fat death or fat necrosis, infection that can be life threatening, chronic abscesses. In addition, injection of the materials can put patients at significant risk of death by silicone embolus. Dr. Kenneth Hughes removes the silicone and related dead or scar tissue, while leaving the healthy tissue. In this way, Dr. Kenneth Hughes can remove as much of the foreign material as possible while minimizing deformity. No matter what is done to remove this material, all of it cannot be removed, particularly if injected more deeply in the muscle.
