This is why you can’t use ni****ne before surgery 👇

Ni****ne tightens your blood vessels, which means less blood and oxygen get to the healing tissues. That can dramatically increase your risk of:
• Incisions opening up
• Delayed or poor wound healing
• Skin or tissue dying
• Infection
• Worse scarring
• Needing additional surgery

And yes this includes ci******es, vapes, ni****ne pouches, gum, patches, etc.

We’re not ni****ne testing you to be mean. 😭 We’re testing because I would MUCH rather postpone your surgery than put you at risk for a complication that could have been prevented.

A panniculectomy is NOT just the medical term for a tummy tuck 👀 They may sound similar, but they’re designed to accomplish very different things.

Here’s the difference ⬆️

In case someone asks where your favorite plastic surgeon is located 😘

Meet AVAVA ⚡️ The laser for people OF ALL SKIN TONES who want smoother, firmer, better-quality skin… without having to hide for a week.

✨WHAT CAN AVAVA TREAT?
• Fine lines + wrinkles
• Crepey or thinning skin
• Mild skin laxity
• Loss of firmness
• Rough or uneven texture
• Enlarged pores
• Acne scars
• Surgical + traumatic scars
• Sun-damaged skin
• Overall skin quality + collagen loss

🧖🏼‍♀️💪🏻🦵WHERE CAN WE TREAT?
Pretty much anywhere you want better skin!
• Face
• Neck
• Décolleté/chest
• Arms
• Hands
• Abdomen
• Thighs
• Above the knees
• And more!

🤎 WHO CAN BE TREATED?
• EVERYONE!! Fitz 1-6

⏱️ WHAT TO EXPECT
• We numb you in-office before treatment.
• Afterward, expect some redness and mild swelling… usually more of a “my skin looks like I did something” than a “I need to hide from the world” situation. 😂

Most patients get right back to normal life, with redness/swelling resolving over 2–5 days depending on treatment intensity (we adjust the intensity based on your skin, your goals and how much downtime you’re able to have!).

It made so much more sense in my head standing down there than when I was trying to explain it to Jay later 😂

To every patient who graciously let us reschedule appointments, every company that worked with us while we navigated the unexpected, every friend, family member, and stranger who sent a prayer, kind message, or simply checked in... thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You have no idea how much your kindness carried me through this season.

There were days I wasn’t sure how I was going to keep everything moving, but because of all of you, I never had to do it alone.

Thankfully, we’re on the upswing. ❤️
Payton is walking again. My dad is home recovering. The construction is finally wrapping up. And I’m back doing what I love.

Now... let’s get back to talking plastic surgery. 😉💣

Look who I ran into at the airport 😍

My dad is in the hospital, and every part of me wants to stay by his side. At the same time, I have patients who have trusted me with their care and are counting on me to be there.

So Jay booked a flight across the country to stay with my dad and make sure he isn’t alone while I fly back to take care of my patients.

This wasn’t an easy week, but it is a beautiful reminder of how much the right partner can carry you through the hard times 🫶🏻

Any and all prayers appreciated 🙏🏻

Genuinely how does anyone survive our medical system if you don’t know someone in medicine?

Being on this side of patient care really really stinks 😢
