Many people have been asking about PDGF, so I wanted to share a bit more.

I plan to incorporate PDGF at Embody Plastic Surgery + Spa because it works with your body’s own biology to support healing, collagen production, and cellular regeneration.

PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) is something your body naturally uses to repair tissue, and in aesthetics, it allows us to improve skin quality from the inside out, focusing on texture, tone, and overall skin health rather than just standard surface-level changes. Our team will combine PDGF post laser or after microneedling.

With Embody Plastic Surgery + Spa, my approach is rooted in advanced science and thoughtful care. PDGF fits beautifully into that philosophy, offering natural, regenerative results for patients who want long-term improvement without adding volume.

Let’s talk PDRN, a next-level skin regeneration gaining massive popularity.

Now part of the advanced treatment lineup at Embody Plastic Surgery + Med Spa, PDRN is redefining skin rejuvenation from within.

This regenerative treatment uses PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) to support skin repair, improve texture, and restore a healthier, more radiant appearance.

Designed to enhance skin quality at the cellular level, PDRN helps promote smoother, firmer, more resilient skin over time.

A modern approach to skin regeneration, thoughtful, refined, and results-driven.

These two procedures are often compared, but they treat very different concerns. A tummy tuck focuses on loose skin and muscle separation, creating a smoother, firmer abdominal foundation.

Liposuction, on the other hand, targets stubborn fat only and is best for patients with good skin tone who want refined contour, not skin tightening.

Both approaches can create beautiful results when matched to the right patient. If you’re unsure which option fits your goals, a personalized consultation will provide the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.

Glacē™: A New Era of Skin Purification

Continuing our advanced technology rollout, I’m excited to introduce Glacē™, Candela’s newest skin-purifying treatment and a refreshing addition to the experience we’re building at Embody.

Glacē™ brings together deep hydrodermabrasion, detoxifying cupping, and calming LED therapy to cleanse, hydrate, and renew the skin in a way that feels both clinical and indulgent. It’s a treatment designed not just for visible results, but for a full sensory reset.

Clearer, brighter, smoother skin with a relaxing, spa-like touch.

Surgery doesn’t end in the operating room, it continues through every follow-up, every question, and every moment you need reassurance.

From personalized post-op appointments to having direct access to me throughout recovery, my goal is to make each patient feel supported, informed, and truly cared for.

Thank you to this wonderful patient for trusting me with their breast reduction journey and for sharing such kind words. I can’t wait for more moments like this in 2026.

I recently came across a story in the media about a high-profile patient choosing to “reverse” her BBL and pursue a more natural, proportional look. What stood out to me wasn’t the celebrity angle, it was the why.

For many patients, aesthetic goals evolve. What felt right at 18 or 20 may not feel aligned at 28. And that’s completely normal. Your body, your preferences, your comfort — they all grow with you.

What I appreciated most was her surgeon’s explanation of the Quantum approach, which we offer here at Embody Plastic Surgery + Spa. It’s a blend of radio-frequency tightening, fat manipulation, and reshaping to restore balance without erasing someone’s identity. It’s a technique focused on precision, proportion, and respecting the natural structure of the body, something I deeply value in my own practice.

To me, this story is an important reminder:

You don’t need to follow trends.
You don’t need to look like anyone else.
And you never have to feel “locked in” to past decisions.

The most meaningful results come from choosing what makes you feel confident, comfortable, and aligned with who you are today, not what’s trending online.

As technology continues to advance, from RF-based tightening systems like Quantum to next-generation devices I’m bringing into my own practice here in Abilene, we’re able to offer safer, more refined, more natural-looking outcomes than ever before.

At the end of the day, your aesthetic journey is just that… yours. And I’m here to guide, educate, and support you with advanced techniques every step of the way.
