Why did your friend heal faster than you after surgery? 👀

This may surprise you, but faster recovery often starts before surgery. A high-protein diet, regular exercise, proper vitamins, and supplements like bromelain can help reduce inflammation and support healing.

Genetics also play a role, and certain procedures affect every body differently. No two recoveries are the same, which is why pre-op self care is so important. Preparing your body the right way can lead to less swelling, faster healing, and better surgical results.

Always follow your surgeon’s pre-op and post-op instructions for the safest recovery. ✨

Transformation In Progress! 😍

This patient underwent Lipo 360 with a tummy tuck, along with arm and thigh liposculpting AND a BBL! We gave her an incredible result in just stage one. We also performed a minora and majorplasty for her and fat transfer to her face for a youthful refresh!

This is just stage one of her journey. In stage two, we’ll revise her scar, address her breasts, and complete the final touches to give her the body she’s always wanted!💖

MORE THAN JUST AN EXCHANGE! 🙌

We removed her old implants and replaced them with 650cc gummy implants. We strategically revised her breast pockets and added an internal bra using sutures to provide extra support. This helps keep the implants positioned properly, maintains high, perky cleavage, and reduces the risk of the implants dropping out of place over time.

Stage One Complete 🔥

We performed her tummy tuck with Lipo 360, sculpting the abdomen, flanks, and axilla, along with diastasis recti repair. We removed as much fat as safely possible and focused on creating beautiful three-dimensional sculpting to achieve smooth, natural results!

We also performed a vascular lesion removal on her right breast, which is expected to heal beautifully with minimal scarring! 💕

In her second stage, we’ll refine her liposuction and sculpt even more curves! Check out her already amazing results!

Didn’t get the implant size you wanted? Let’s talk about it 👇

At our practice, patients sign an implant verification sheet to ensure peace of mind that the implant size selected is exactly what we plan to place. This step is designed to protect you and confirm your goals before surgery! 🫶

That said, there are rare exceptions. For example, during a breast lift with implants, patient safety always comes first. We will never place excessive pressure on the muscle or compromise blood supply to the ni**le and ar**la. If a size adjustment could be necessary for safety, this is always discussed with you ahead of time.

If someone wakes up with a different implant size than planned without prior discussion, it’s important to know that some practices purchase implants in bulk inventory. In those situations, availability may influence their implant choice. This does not happen everywhere—but it does happen. 🙏

For us, communication is key! We thoroughly discuss your goals during your consultation and again before surgery to ensure we’re aligned and can safely achieve the results you want!

Complete transformation ✨

We performed her tummy tuck with diastasis recti repair, along with our hi def  lipo 360. We sculpted and enhanced her natural curves and buttocks! She’s loving her results at just 4 months post-op 💫

Naturally high belly button explained ✨

This patient naturally has a higher belly button. When we performed her tummy tuck and tightened the abdomen, a small portion of her original belly button skin remained, resulting in a short vertical scar. This is completely expected in some cases and not a concern.

During her second-stage revision, we’ll be able to revise the scar and remove most, if not all, of it! She’ll be ready for her two-piece bikini just in time for summer! 👙☀️

INSANE breast revision transformation! 🤯

This patient underwent a two-stage breast revision to address implants that were sitting far apart and achieve improved cleavage.

We revised her previous breast lift performed at another practice, performed a capsulorrhaphy, and completed a breast implant exchange to better position the implants and symmetry!

This was a thoughtfully planned procedure designed to give her the best possible outcome and achieve the cleavage she’s been dreaming of 💕

A little can be a lot ✨

For this patient, her left implant had shifted slightly out of the breast pocket, so we performed a revision to restore her breast symmetry. While reconstructing her breast pockets and adding an internal bra for support, she also wanted a bit more cleavage and fullness. We increased her implant size from 520cc to 560cc, for a subtle enhancement in her bust! 💕

Trends of 2026 in Cosmetic Surgery: What will take off and what won’t 🚀

Surgical trends to watch: 👇

The rib tuck is one of the newest innovations in cosmetic surgery, designed to bring the waist in by addressing rib flare! This can be especially helpful after pregnancy and for patients whose waist shape can’t be fully corrected with a tummy tuck or liposuction alone. It’s a powerful option for creating a more defined, snatched waist!

👉 Interested in the Rib Tuck procedure? Dr. Mason ( ) specializes in the Rib Tuck right here at Southern Surgical Arts in Chattanooga, Tennessee and Calhoun, Georgia! Check out his page and request a free consultation for that snatched waist! 🔥

Trends that may NOT last: 👇

Many “too good to be true” non-invasive skin tightening machines and lotions are heavily marketed but don’t deliver long-term results, if any. Medspa treatments like microneedling and RF microneedling as wells as topical lasers can improve skin quality much better than any other over the counter product, but even they are not a replacement for surgery when true skin laxity is present! Don’t fall for those minimally invasive techniques that social media pushes! 🚫

A major 2026 trend to watch: 👇

Alloclae (donor fat) is expected to grow significantly in popularity! This processed fat from donors may be especially beneficial for areas like the face, hands, and certain female procedures. While the cost may limit use in larger areas such as the breasts or buttocks, it has the potential to be a game-changer in reconstructive and aesthetic surgery!

Also look out for a new combo filler with hyaluronic acid combo with calcium hydroxyappetite combining the best of both products!

EVEN I HAVE TO DO TOUCH-UPS SOMETIMES! 🙏

This patient came to us earlier last year for Lipo 360 with skin tightening using Renuvion. Unfortunately, her skin did not retract as much as expected, especially in the upper abdomen. This can leave the skin wrinkled, looking like uneven Lipo when really it’s just folded skin. In cases like this, a tummy tuck is the best option to remove excess skin and achieve a tighter, snatched result.

She chose to return for a tummy tuck, and now her abdomen is pulled nice and tight, leaving a firm result, free from skin laxity! We also repaired her diastasis recti for improved core support! 💪

Her breast results look amazing as well! During her first stage, we performed a breast revision, replacing her old 235cc textured implants with 230cc low-profile gummy implants!
