Baby Diamont’s first trip to Pilot Mountain, NC 🤍 Life has a way of moving fast, but we're excited (and slightly terrified lol) to welcome this mini Hoosier + North Carolinian in February 2026. Daisy has already claimed her spot as the cuddly big sister, so we're calling that a win.

For anyone navigating fertility struggles or loss, my heart is truly with you.

I LOVE walking through what to expect from the plastic surgery process with my patients - providing education, discussing why we are making the decisions we are making together, and melding their goals with my surgical expertise. It's one of the best parts of my job!

Facial Rejuvenation – sounds like a fancy plastic surgery term, but what does it actually mean? A personalized combination of facial surgical procedures designed to create a subtle, natural, but impactful result. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts ✨

This beautiful 71-year-old patient radiates from within. We were able to help her inner light shine through with the following procedures:
– Endoscopic forehead lift
– Facial fat grafting
– Lower blepharoplasty (lower eyelid surgery)
– Deep plane face and neck lift

Questions about facial rejuvenation? Drop them below or schedule a consultation so we can chat about what might work for you.

Taking care of my patients is the single BEST part of my job 💞🥹

While breast implants are more commonly placed beneath the pectoralis muscle, subfascial implant placement is a great alternative for some women, including those who do not want to restrict any weight lifting exercises that focus on the chest after surgery.

This 34-year-old patient breastfed her two children and wanted to naturally fill out her deflated breasts. She is shown 4 months out from:
– Subfascial breast augmentation with placement of Galaflex
– Patient height: 6’0
– Patient weight: 146
– Implants: Motiva Ergonomix ERSD-380cc

Come see me to chat about the nuances of breast surgery and what option is best for you! 🍒

Life lately – fueled by puppy cuddles, snacks, rad plastic surgeon friends, nerding out over new implant technology, and trips to the Penrod art fair with .jenniferkugardds 💞 And yes, that is me working out in flats… we’re just out here doing our best OK?!

This is one of the most common skincare questions I get! You don’t have to put your entire skincare routine on hold just because retinol is off the table. While nothing works exactly like the real deal, there are some solid alternatives that will keep your skin in good shape while you’re busy growing a human.

My go-to recommendations:

1) Three Ships SkinHero Bakuchiol + Calendula - Bakuchiol activates the same receptors as retinol to boost collagen and promote cellular turnover. It’s a pick and actually works.

2) Kyomi Skin Organic Bakuchiol Face Oil - Another bakuchiol option that works as a retinol alternative. The oil format makes it great for dry or sensitive skin during pregnancy.

3) ZO Exfoliator Accelerator - The glycolic and lactic acid complex gently exfoliates dead skin cells without being harsh.

4) SkinCeuticals Cell Cycle Catalyst - Contains alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, and taurine that work together to enhance cellular turnover and improve skin texture.

I always recommend checking with your OB before starting new skincare products during pregnancy, but these are the ones I consistently recommend to patients looking for retinol alternatives!

What area of the face shows signs of aging first? The peri-orbital area, or area around the eyes.

This beautiful 44-year-old patient had tried all of the lotions and potions without seeing the improvement she was hoping for. She underwent upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and facial fat grafting.

Here she is 3 months post-surgery—her gorgeous eyes are shining, and she truly FEELS her age ✨

Making the decision to undergo surgery is a big one. Pre-op preparation (and post-op follow through) are SO important to get the best possible result.

Curious about what pre-op or recovery really looks like for the procedures you’re considering? I’m all ears – drop your questions below!👇🏼

Brow lifts are having a moment – and for good reason! Your eyebrow position affects everything about how your eyes look. As we age, brows descend and that “tired” look creeps in. A subtle lift (we’re talking millimeters!) can make you look refreshed and more like yourself.
