Why this 28-year-old's Turkey facelift was a HUGE mistake 💀

A 28-year-old flew to Turkey for a facelift, fox eye procedure, and brow lift. The result? She looks permanently terrified. Let me explain why this was a bad idea.

The Procedures:

She got a facelift, ""fox eye"" lift (pulling the eyes upward), and a brow lift, all to chase a trending look. The problem? She now has that constant ""someone just scared the heck out of me"" expression.

Why This Is Problematic:

🚫 Fad-Based Surgery

These procedures are completely trend-driven. The ""fox eye"" look is popular NOW, but fads come and go. Your face is not something you can hide when trends change.

🚫 Irreversible Damage

In 5 to 10 years, when she's 32 or 38, this look will likely be OUT of style. The worst part? She won't be able to reverse what was done to her brows and eyes. She's stuck with it.

🚫 Wrong Reasons at the Wrong Age

Getting facial rejuvenation to look younger, remove jowls, tighten loose skin, or lift sagging cheeks inherently makes sense and is timeless. But chasing a fad at 28? That's not it.

The Bottom Line:
This was an overall bad idea. Sure, she got her five minutes of fame, but at what cost? Don't let trends dictate permanent changes to your face. 💯

We played aesthetics Tinder & here's what happened 😂

Meet Trish! We had her swipe right or left on popular aesthetic treatments and her choices might surprise you!

✅ SWIPED RIGHT:

Microneedling 💉
Salmon s***m facials 🐟
Dysport
Smooth Threads

❌ SWIPED LEFT:

Radiesse
RF Microneedling
PDO Thread Lifts

Some of these picks are WILD (salmon s***m, anyone? 🤭, and we're shocked at what she passed on! Would you make the same choices?

Drop a ❤️ if you'd swipe right on salmon s***m facials or a 💀 if that's a hard pass for you!

This Valentine's Day, let's talk about a game-changing perfect match in weight loss, especially for those in their 40s, 50s, and 60s!

The Problem:
You're on semaglutide or tirzepatide (GLP-1s), but the scale isn't moving like you expected. Why? Because weight loss isn't just about calories in vs. calories out; your hormones might be working against you.

The Solution:
Pairing GLP-1 medications with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is the ultimate power couple! 💯

Here's What Happens:
When we check your hormone levels and restore what's ""off,"" you get:

✨ Better muscle building and retention
✨ Enhanced weight loss results
✨ Improved overall health and wellness
✨ Increased energy and youthfulness

The Bottom Line:
GLP-1s handle the appetite and metabolism side, while bioidentical hormones optimize your body's natural ability to build muscle and burn fat. Together? Unstoppable. 🤭

Before the BBL, before Botox and filler... there was another perfect pairing in plastic surgery: the Mommy Makeover!

What Makes It Perfect:

This combo was such a natural match that it got its own name DECADES ago. Here's what it includes:

✨ Tummy Tuck: Repairs stretched abdominal muscles and removes excess skin from pregnancy
✨ Breast Procedure: Either implants or a lift (or both!) to restore volume and perkiness lost after breastfeeding

Why They're Better Together:

Pregnancy changes your body in multiple ways: your tummy AND your breasts. This power duo addresses both areas in one transformative surgery, helping you reclaim your pre-baby body and confidence.

It's the ultimate act of self-love for moms everywhere. 💯

Perfect match. Happy Valentine's Day to all the mamas out there! You deserve to feel amazing. ❤️🤭

Say hello to the ORIGINAL power couple of cosmetic surgery: liposuction and fat transfer, better known as the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)!

How It Works:

This procedure is such a perfect match, it literally got its own name. Here's the magic:

✨ Liposuction: We sculpt your entire torso (tummy, waist, back) to create that snatched, hourglass shape
✨ Fat Transfer: We take that harvested fat and add it back to your butt and hips for beautiful, natural roundness

The Result:

You lose fat where you don't want it and gain curves where you DO want them. It's a two-for-one transformation that creates powerful, impactful results! 💯
Talk about a perfect match, you get a sculpted waist AND a rounder b***y in ONE procedure. Now that's what we call a win-win! 🤭

This Valentine's Day, we're celebrating the tried-and-true power couple of the med spa world: Botox and filler!

💉 Botox (Upper Face):

Targets dynamic wrinkles where your skin is thinnest and muscles are most active:

✨ Crow's feet
✨ Forehead lines
✨ Brow wrinkles

Botox smooths away those lines for a refreshed, youthful look.

💧 Filler (Lower Face):

Restores volume where time has taken it away:

✨ Cheeks
✨ Nasolabial folds
✨ Jawline
✨ Chin

Filler brings back that youthful fullness and definition.

💑 Together They're Magic:

Botox erases wrinkles on top, filler restores volume below = beautiful, balanced, youthful facial aesthetics.
This is one match made in heaven! Ready to fall in love with your reflection? Book your perfect pair this Valentine's Day! ❤️💯

Why your ""Mom Tummy"" won't budge even with exercise 💪

Exercise isn't always the answer. Here are the 3 real reasons your post-pregnancy tummy may not respond to workouts:

1️⃣ Loose Collagen: Pregnancy and aging weaken skin's collagen, leaving it stretched out. No amount of crunches can tighten it- only surgical skin removal can.

2️⃣ Separated Ab Muscles: Pregnancy can cause diastasis recti, where your abdominal muscles separate and don't naturally come back together. The only fix? Physically suturing them during a tummy tuck.

3️⃣ Stubborn Fat: While exercise burns fat, losing that fat can actually make loose skin more noticeable, as there's less volume underneath to keep it stretched.

The reality? Some changes from pregnancy require more than diet and exercise. Understanding your body is the first step toward realistic expectations and the right solutions for you. ❤️
