As a next generation surgeon with the dual benefit of expertise in traditional approaches, training, and access to the latest advances and innovations in plastic surgery, Dr. Kenneth Hughes’s techniques offer a range of options selected on a per procedure, per patient basis.  Some of those options offer a virtually scarless approach, and in bigger cases, offer a significant reduction of scarring prominence.

Dr. Kenneth Benjamin Hughes specializes in virtually scarless, or minimal scarring, surgery for the face, nose, and breast, and offers the most advanced techniques including micro fat grafting, Bodytite, Facetite, PRP or platelet rich plasma, Lumecca, and Fractora.  Some of these scarless techniques include short scar face lift, facial fat grafting (facelift technique without visible scars), closed rhinoplasty (no visible external scars), chin implants with no external scar, short scar tummy tuck, and TUBA (breast augmentation without scars on your breasts).

Dr. Kenneth Hughes’s unique approach to body lifts combines strengthening the superficial fascial system and detailed undermining for optimal skin tightening, while reducing the need for a posterior scar by utilizing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), with or without butt implants, for reshaping and adding volume, roundness, and shape to the buttocks and hips.  Many of the body lift techniques used by Dr. Hughes in Los Angeles were originally designed for the massive weight loss patient and, as such, provide appropriate trade-offs in scarring and shaping when used to remove extreme amounts of skin.  Today more patients seek skin tightening and reshaping benefits to offset the aging process, or as an extension of the mommy makeover, rather than to address massive weight loss issues.  

Dr. Kenneth Benjamin Hughes is at the forefront of plastic surgery in Los Angeles meeting those demands.  Doctor Kenneth Hughes is able to meet the discerning needs of patients seeking improved shaping and tightening of the lower body while offering the latest techniques for reducing surgical scarring.  Dr. Hughes, Los Angeles plastic surgeon, is the author of various textbook chapters on minimal scarring techniques.
