RealSelf’s “Most Worth It” Procedures Are Here! Abilene, TX

by

Real Self logoBest servicesIt’s our profession and privilege to help you look and feel amazing, so we are thrilled to report that most of the treatments on our menu recently made RealSelf’s coveted list for “Most Worth It” Procedures in 2019.

Here’s a look at our top-ranked treatments:

Plastic surgery
A wide range of plastic surgery procedures made the list, including eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, breast augmentation, breast implant removal, breast lift, liposuction, body lift, arm lift, tummy tuck, and Mommy Makeover. We are proud to provide these procedures because we see how life-changing they are! Aesthetic surgical procedures offer so much more than just cosmetic improvements. From a Mommy Makeover to an eyelid lift, plastic surgery helps to restore confidence and vitality among our patients and drastically boost their quality of life.

Injectables
FDA-cleared injectables also topped the list as “Most Worth It” treatments. Botox® smooths lines and wrinkles around the forehead and eyes, but also works well as a preventive treatment, staving off signs of aging for the 20- to 30-something set. The dermal fillers Juvéderm® and Volbella® also earned high marks among RealSelf participants. Juvéderm is a versatile filler that provides lasting lip augmentation in addition to smoothing lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth by restoring lost volume. Volbella® is a thinner gel designed specially to provide subtle, natural-looking lip enhancement while also smoothing away lip lines.

Chemical Peels
We love that chemical peels made the list because it’s a tried-and-true complexion fixer that’s been around for ages. Suitable for almost every skin type, a series of peels can help turn back years of sun damage and aging for brighter, more evenly-toned skin with smaller pore size, diminished lines and wrinkles, faded scars, and much more.

We can’t wait for you to discover the benefits of these treatments for yourself! To experience why these treatments are “Most Worth It,” call 325.480.0522 or request your personal consultation today.

Winter Wellness Tips
Abilene, TX

Winter takes its toll even in the Big Country, Winter takes its toll even in the Big Country, when shorter days and seasonal bugscan put a damper on your mood and health. Here are a few clinically-supported wellness tips from the experts, inspired by Prevention magazine, to help you sail through the remaining winter months with joy and vigor.

 

Wash your hands often!
The flu is an equal opportunity offender this time of year, striking every corner of the country. Protect yourself by washing your hands after being in public places like the grocery store or shopping mall. Always wash hands before eating, and avoid touching your eyes and mouth during the day.

Take frequent stress breaks.
Stress can weaken your immune system, making you more likely to fall victim to the latest virus in circulation. Whether it’s taking periodic moments in your day to practice deep breathing, getting some fresh air on your lunch break, or scheduling that laser skin care treatment you’ve been dreaming about, self-care is the surest path to destressing and maintaining your wellness.

There are a million reasons to exercise. Working your body not only boosts your mood but also decreases your risk for a wide range of diseases. Remember that every little bit counts. If you are overwhelmed at the thought of starting a new exercise regimen, a great place to start is simply by standing more throughout your day. Research indicates that sitting for long periods of time, like at a work desk, can be detrimental to your health and decrease your longevity.

Our mission at Abilene Plastic Surgery and MedSpa is to bring out your very best, and we can’t wait to help you look and feel amazing this year! Please call 325.480.0522 or request a personal consultation today.

Be Your Own Valentine!
Abilene, TX

by

Be your own Valentine!Self-love is the ultimate Valentine’s Day treat. February 14 is the perfect excuse (not that you need one!) to treat yourself to an aesthetic treatment or surgery you’ve always dreamed of at Abilene Plastic Surgery & MedSpa. Here are a few ideas to help you celebrate you!

The power of touch
It’s time to focus on YOU, to relax your body and mind with a restorative massage or body scrub. One of our favorites is the Detoxifying Seaweed Body Wrap, the perfect antidote for a season of splurging and excess. We will gently massage a mineral-rich serum into your body to help cleanse your lymphatic system while revitalizing and restoring a healthy-looking and luminous body tone.

Injectables
Botox and dermal fillers are the gold-standard for providing cosmetic improvements with minimal to no downtime. Injectables take only minutes to administer but reveal months of smoother, suppler, and younger-looking skin. If you’ve been contemplating injectables but put off scheduling a consultation, this month is a perfect time to take the plunge! We offer years of experience to help reveal your most natural-looking, flattering results.

Laser hair removal
With swimsuit season still months away, now is the perfect time to schedule your series of laser hair removal treatments. Laser hair removal often requires numerous treatments to reach your goal. We typically perform a series of 5 or 6 treatments spaced about 6 weeks apart. If you start now, you’ll have plenty of time to get the results you crave in time for pool season.

Cosmetic surgery
Have you been struggling to lose your muffin top or double chin? You’d be surprised how simple and effective liposuction is for improving your “trouble” spots. Medical director and Hendrick plastic surgeon Dr. Kevin Bridge performs expert liposuction, in addition to a wide range of other body contouring procedures to meet your unique needs.
We can’t wait to help you treat yourself this year! Please call 325.480.0522 or request a personal consultation today.

Blepharoplasty: What You Need to Know Abilene, TX

by

Consider an eyelid lift!Did you know that blepharoplasty, also known as an eyelid lift, is one of the most common surgeries performed at Abilene Plastic Surgery and Medspa? If you’re considering an eyelid lift, here are a few basics to know before scheduling your consultation with our medical director, board-certified plastic surgeon and blepharoplasty expert, Dr. Kevin Bridge.

Blepharoplasty can help rejuvenate:
•Area surrounding your eyes
•Loose or sagging skin on the upper eyelids
•Puffy eyelids (fatty deposits)
•Under eye bags
•Drooping lower eyelids
•Excess skin and wrinkles of lower lid

Blepharoplasty cannot help:
•Drooping upper lid caused by ptosis, a stretching out of the upper eyelid muscle
•Drooping lids caused by lax forehead or eyebrow skin
•Eye diseases

Some patients may need a combination of surgeries or a different surgery, such as a brow lift, to achieve their desired goal. Dr. Bridge has years of experience performing these surgeries and will be able to help you determine if an eyelid surgery suits your needs during your personal consultation.

Your blepharoplasty surgeon should be:
•Board certified in plastic surgery
•Experienced at performing blepharoplasty. (Please ask to see our Before & After photos.)
•Conveniently located to you. Recovery from your eyelid surgery should be a relatively smooth and uneventful process, but it does involve follow-up visits with our attentive medical staff. Undergoing surgery locally will ease your recovery process by cutting travel time, lowering stress, and providing invaluable peace of mind.
To learn more about blepharoplasty, call 325.670.5320 or request a personal consultation today.

Last-Minute Party Prepping Treatments Abilene, TX

by

What’s that? You’re not ready for the party season yet? Can you believe it’s almost time to slip into your holiday dress?

What’s that? You’re not ready for the party season yet?

No worries! It’s never too late to get your glow on. Because a head-turning complexion is your best accessory, here are a few of our favorite complexion boosters for achieving last-minute luminosity with little to no downtime.

Dermaplaning
This quick exfoliation treatment uses a sterile blade to gently remove the outer layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hairs (peach fuzz) on your face. In 30 minutes, you’ll have refreshed skin that’s a perfect canvas for your party make-up.

BBL™ Photofacials
For more evenly toned, youthful-looking skin with little to no downtime, a BBL photofacial is one of our favorite pre-party treatments because it delivers both immediate improvements and long-term benefits. In as little as 30 minutes, this light treatment helps to dramatically diminish age spots, sun-induced freckles, redness, symptoms of rosacea, birthmarks, unsightly veins, and acne scarring. Regular photofacials are clinically proven to change your skin cells on a molecular level to behave like younger skin cells. We recommend undergoing a BBL photofacial at least once a season or even just one a year to enjoy luminous, younger-looking skin for a lifetime. We recommend scheduling your BBL treatment at least a week before your event to give your skin time to fully renew itself.

Facials
Self care is a vital component of every successful holiday season. We offer a complete range of indulgent, intensely restorative facials to help you feel amazing and refreshed during this hectic time. From a 30-minute Express Facial (the perfect complexion pick-me-up) to our Moisture Drench Facial (to quench and rebalance parched skin), we offer a facial for everyone.
