We're still a month away from Mother's Day, but today we'd like to talk about how Moms deserve a makeover. Nature is a beautiful thing. When a baby is born, it is so utterly helpless that it needs someone at its 24/7 disposal. Someone who will do an incredibly thorough job of feeding and cuddling it. Someone who will gladly get up five times a night to give it what it needs. Someone who will forget any kind of beauty standard they once had for their own [...]
In the age of the 24-hour news cycle, it can feel like we get bombarded with the latest studies and findings about literally anything. Is the Paleo Diet still the recommended way to lose weight or have we moved on to something new and better? Are red wine and dark chocolate still ok as guilt-free pleasure because someone once said they made you live longer? Is there anything Botox cannot cure? We can't answer any of this, but we do know a thing or two about [...]
Before you go into a consultation for a breast augmentation with your plastic surgeon, you should prepare yourself with a number of questions about the procedure. You can’t know everything ahead of time, and the purpose of the consultation is to learn everything you need to know to make an informed decision. But here is a question we think you shouldn’t have to ask your plastic surgeon: Will you charge more for breast implants with a bigger cup size? Ask Your Plastic Surgeon Questions About Your [...]
Botox injections have grown immensely in popularity over the last two decades. In 2017, according to statistics by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, Botox made up about half of all non-invasive cosmetic procedures. It's no wonder. Botox is a super easy way to smooth out facial wrinkles. It takes less time to administer than a dental checkup, it's pain-free, and you get a visibly younger look for up to 5 months. It's also fairly inexpensive. In addition, it can help with other conditions such as migraines [...]
Breast augmentations are immensely popular, and have been for many years. Because of this, they have become rather routine procedures for plastic surgeons, and more and more women are more open to the idea of breast surgery. Nevertheless, it’s important to do your research before you undergo plastic surgery. The NuBody team has put together some answers for you. Candidates for Breast Augmentation 1. How old do you have to be for a breast augmentation? We prefer for patients to be 18, although there are some [...]
Liposuction first became a household word of the English language in the early 1980s. Ever since then the country hasn’t stopped talking about it, even though the technology behind it has evolved considerably. How, exactly, is liposuction performed in the year 2019, and what are the important things you should know before having liposuction? The NuBody team has put together some answers for you. The following relates to our Aqualipo® procedure, a form of liposuction that is particularly gentle on the body and has been proven [...]
If you are thinking about getting a breast augmentation, cost shouldn’t be the only factor. You’ll want to make sure that you are ready for elective surgery. You want to find a plastic surgeon you feel comfortable with. And you'll want to inform yourself about the type of breast surgery that will work best for you. But eventually, you will start researching and comparing the cost of a breast augmentation. We have put together some information that is meant to help you understand it better. Breaking [...]
Somehow, and without dissing men, it is always the women who bear the brunt of the holiday-induced stress. We run ourselves ragged to decorate the house, bake cookies, and procure a mountain of presents, and in the process we usually neglect our own bodies until we are absolutely spent. The NuBody Concepts team would like to remind you that it may be time to think of yourself for a change. What could be better than doing something nice for yourself after these holidays? While in theory [...]
Patients sometimes ask us if there is a cut-off age for a tummy tuck. They are worried that they are perhaps too old for tummy tuck surgery. On the other end of the spectrum, if you are still young and not done having children yet, is it too early for a tummy tuck? The NuBody Blog has the answers. What Does a Tummy Tuck Do? A tummy tuck is a cosmetic surgery procedure to remove excess skin and fat from your abdomen to give it a [...]
When we think of wanting a slimmer figure – who doesn’t? – we think that we mainly need to lose weight. It often comes as a surprise to liposuction patients that it has nothing to do with weight loss. It’s simply about the removal of fat. But while liposuction is not a weight loss program per se, it often can be a kick start to positive lifestyle changes. Blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes – learn about the health benefits of liposuction! “I had liposuction performed on my chest, [...]
Breast augmentation is by far the most popular plastic surgery procedure among American women. It's safe, relatively easy, and the results can change your life. But as with any elective surgery, it's important to get all your questions answered so that you can feel completely comfortable with your decision. Below, we have put together answers to 5 important questions about breast implants and your recovery after breast augmentation. 1. How do I know silicone gel implants are safe? Silicone gel implants for breast augmentation are among [...]
Yes, chin augmentation is a thing, even if it’s not as widely performed as, say, liposuction. At 16,136 procedures performed in 2017, according to the ASPS, chin augmentation is a respectable surgical procedure. A “weak chin,” according to recurring studies, is often seen as a hurdle, particularly for men. There seems to be a link between success in life and a strong jawline, which is why men intent on improving their image turn to chin augmentation. But what if there was an alternative that requires less [...]
Perhaps not surprisingly, Breast Augmentation continues to top the list of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the United States. According to the annual report of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), over 300,000 breast augmentations were performed in 2017. But what of the other procedures topping the list? And what are the upward and downward trends? Find out all you need to know from the NuBody Blog. Breast Augmentation Tops the List Again In addition to those 300,000 breast augmentations, 2017 also saw [...]
When patients come to see us for body contouring, their belly is often the main area of worry. Most of us would be happier with a flatter stomach, and fortunately there are several plastic surgery and non-surgical treatment options for belly fat removal. However, not all fat is created equal. Today we talk about visceral fat as opposed to subcutaneous fat, how to tell the difference, and what can be done about either one of those. The Difference Between Visceral Fat and Subcutaneous Fat Many patients [...]
Aqualipo® is the revolution in fat removal and body contouring. It combines the gentle power of water with the precision of advanced laser technology to get rid of the most stubborn pockets of fat. For a sculpted stomach, thighs, arms, bra bulges, chin, and neck, or even beautifully smooth and tight skin, the new Aqualipo is your ticket. NuBody Concepts has been the exclusive Aqualipo provider in Tennessee since 2011. With over 7,000 procedures performed, we are the #1 Aqualipo provider in the United States. Our [...]
Botox has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures around the world. And for good reason: Botox injections are relatively affordable – compared to a facelift or many other forms of facial rejuvenation. They are extremely easy to administer; you’re typically in and out of your doctor’s office in 20 minutes. And they are also entirely pain-free. What’s more, Botox is FDA-approved and has an impeccable safety record. (Dysport or Xeomin are also safe alternatives, but unlike Botox they are not FDA-approved.) But lately a [...]
When our patients come to us for a consultation about fat removal, they often ask us about CoolSculpting. Our answer has always been that we don’t offer CoolSculpting (also known by its scientific term, Cryolipolysis), because in our experience it is much less effective than liposuction. It doesn’t remove the unwanted fat in one go but rather requires repeat treatments, it can be rather uncomfortable if not painful, and it simply doesn’t yield great results like liposuction. (Read more about liposuction vs CoolSculpting here.) In addition, [...]
Liposuction has been around for a long time. And as old things go, it may not be the most exciting offering on the block. Are there still any reasons to get liposuction in this day and age, considering some of the newer options for body fat removal? Let's take a look at some of these newer options, as well as the history of liposuction, to answer this question. Shinier "Objects" Than Liposuction It's true - much newer and shinier objects than liposuction have caught our attention in [...]
So you want to lose weight. Who doesn't? A common misconception about liposuction is that it helps you to lose weight. In fact, liposuction is not a weight loss program. Studies have shown that liposuction has no discernible long-term or even medium-term impact on a patient's weight. If it isn't to lose weight, are there any reasons to get liposuction? Over years of listening closely to our patients' stories when they first come to see us, we have learned a lot about their goals and hopes [...]
Typically, the question most women ask us is this: When is the best time for a tummy tuck? And to this, we typically answer with "After you're done having children." However, this doesn't mean that you cannot become pregnant and have children after a tummy tuck. It just means that it isn't the ideal sequence of things. To better understand this, let us look at what a tummy tuck does to your body. What Does a Tummy Tuck Do? A tummy tuck - the medical term is [...]
If you're considering breast surgery, you'll have heard of gummy bear implants. It's one of the hottest new buzzwords in plastic surgery. But what does it mean? What can a gummy bear possibly have in common with breast surgery? Choosing the right implant is one of the most important decisions you will make, so it's important to know what your choices are. We are here to help you clear up some of the confusion. What are Gummy Bear Implants? Gummy bear implants are a relatively new [...]
In this day and age, plastic surgery has become much more commonplace than it used to be. More and more women, and increasingly also men, are eager to give themselves a younger and more vital appearance by getting a little help from a plastic surgeon’s bag of tricks. However, the word “surgery” still has a negative ring for many would-be patients. There are several reasons for this. For one, there is the fear of pain. Secondly, there is the fear of possible stitches or other visible [...]
In the past, there seemed to be an unwritten rule that plastic surgery and facial aesthetics was a domain exclusively reserved for women. As a guy, you went and got your haircut every 4-6 weeks, but that was pretty much it. Anything else to “beautify” your appearance, even just a manicure, wasn’t quite manly enough. You were supposed to look rugged, your hair was supposed to go gray or thin out, and if you had wrinkles, so be it. If you did have anything done to [...]
It’s yet another rite of passage, along with getting your AARP letter in the mail and scheduling your first colonoscopy. You stand in front of the mirror with your arms raised to do up your hair, and you realize with horror that you have the arms of your mother: Loose, flabby skin hanging from your upper arms and sagging so much that everything jiggles when you move. Despite all the exercise you so diligently visit the gym for, you do not have the toned arms you [...]
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That’s what we are taught to believe. But our society has norms and expectations about beauty that make it difficult to stray too far from the “acceptable” look. This is particularly – but not exclusively – true for women. How do breast implants figure into this debate? Coloring Our Hair: We All Do It Just consider the matter of gray hair. As we age, our hair turns gray. It’s completely natural. And gray isn’t synonymous with ugly by [...]
When you are thinking about having plastic surgery, you’ll want to gather as much information as you can. You might schedule a consultation with a surgery center and ask the plastic surgeon a lot of questions. However, the best resource to learn more about a plastic surgery procedure are often the people who have had that procedure. "I have learned that it’s okay to be imperfect but that it’s also okay to want to do something about it. I absolutely did not have this procedure for [...]
Diet and regular exercise remain the best tools to maintain a healthy and beautifully contoured body. However, even the most disciplined women and men often retain pockets of stubborn fat, particularly around their waistline. Fat freezing is the latest trend in the non-invasive removal of such fat. Also known as CoolSculpting, it is heavily marketed to women and men who want slimmer waistlines without traditional surgery. But how well does fat freezing work? How Fat Freezing Works What CoolSculpting aims to achieve is the destruction of [...]
Having different sized breasts is completely normal. In fact, most women experience slight differences in breast shape and size. The difference can be especially noticeable during puberty while the breasts are still growing. Women who are dissatisfied with two different looking breasts have the option of surgery once their breasts are finished growing. While it’s not really possible to attain two identical breasts, breast surgery can do a great job of evening out their size and shape to be aesthetically pleasing. It offers a variety of [...]
Besides breast augmentations, tummy tucks are among the leading plastic surgery procedures sought out by American women. And in recent years, they have also seen a surge of popularity among men. This is for good reason: tummy tuck results tend to be immediate and striking. A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty will provide you with a flatter, firmer belly and a slimmer waistline. There are different types of tummy tucks, including the full tummy tuck, the mini tummy tuck and the extended tummy tuck. During a tummy [...]
When it comes to unwanted fat on our bodies, belly fat is usually the biggest offender. It seems impossibly hard to get rid of belly fat. Even diet, intermittent fasting, and exercise often reach their limits and leave us with that pesky pouch we all loathe. The one place our fat doesn't seem to want to budge from is our bellies. Ways You Can Get Rid of Belly Fat Especially as we get older, everything that we eat seems to go straight to our bellies and [...]
You have recently gotten breast implants. They look fabulous, and you are loving your added cleavage, renewed fullness and perkier appearance. But you might wonder: Am I ready for the beach? Which sun and water based activities can I safely engage in without worrying about my new implants? You are not the only one to worry about this. At NuBody Concepts, we get many questions about breast surgery, from "Will my implants affect how well I float?" to "Could my implants boil in the hot tub?" [...]

Many women (and men) discover the allure of Botox in their 30s and 40s. Some even start in their 20s to stave off even the earliest frown and worry lines. And with good reason. Botox is great to erase fine lines and wrinkles from your face, and can even “train” your muscles to frown less. You can also replace lost volume with fillers such as Juvederm, or improve your skin tone and texture with laser treatments. But none of these non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatments can combat [...]
Find Answers to Your Liposuction Questions To this day, liposuction is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the United States. It marks the sweet spot between more invasive surgery on one end of the spectrum, and non-invasive treatments that often don't yield immediate results on the other. At NuBody Concepts, we have performed over 7,000 liposuctions, and we have answered many questions about the procedure. Here we have compiled a list of common liposuction questions and answers: Does liposuction hurt? In contrast to [...]
One of the most commonly-asked questions by plastic surgery patients is this one: How long will my results last? This is a very reasonable question. Most things in life don’t last forever, but the more we pay for something, whether it’s breast implants or a new car, the longer we expect it to last. In the case of breast implants, there isn’t a straightforward answer. Some women may keep their original breast implants to something approaching “forever,” and some may need breast implant revision surgery just [...]
One of the most common questions asked by our plastic surgery patients is whether they will have to undergo general anesthesia: “Will I need general anesthesia for my tummy tuck?” “Does a breast augmentation require general anesthesia?” “What anesthesia methods does your plastic surgeon use for a mommy makeover?” Awake Plastic Surgery with IV Sedation vs General Anesthesia While many people don’t like the idea of “going under,” some might prefer it to being awake while they are operated on. But which is better - general [...]
With winter approaching, you may have shifted to maintenance mode in several areas of your life. If you live in a house, you might have worked on your landscaping – not so much because you want it to look pretty right now, but because you want to get it ready for spring. You might have cut back bushes, planted daffodil bulbs, and covered it all up with mulch so it looks decent while it regenerates itself. When it comes to getting your body ready to look [...]
It’s Not a Purse – It’s European! Do you remember the Seinfeld Episode where Jerry carries around a “man-purse” and keeps telling people “It’s European!” so as not to look like a geek? It was so funny because it was also true. Call something European and it’s considered cool, avant-garde, and top-of-the-line. There are European cars, European shampoos, European wax treatments, and I wouldn’t bake a cake without my European kitchen appliances. Many great products were developed in Europe, and we trust them like no other [...]
What You Should Know About Breast Surgery, Breast Augmentation, and Breast Implants Not all elective breast surgery is the same. There are many cosmetic surgery options to improve the appearance of breasts, depending on what a woman wants to achieve. There are breast augmentations with saline or silicone implants to increase the size of the breasts, breast lifts to reverse sagging, and breast reductions to remedy symptoms such as back or neck pain. Breast augmentation continues to remain the most popular of all plastic surgery procedures. To [...]
Plastic Surgery Myths and Misconceptions The media often glamourizes perfection. We open a magazine, see someone with a perfect body, and want ours to be like that too. In truth, Photoshop and other editing apps can easily be used to manipulate images of celebrities to be closer to what we accept as natural. In real life we are all imperfect, asymmetrical, and in many cases not as firm as we used to be. Nevertheless, we are all eager to emulate those perfect bodies dangled in front [...]
Liposuction Removes Fat Permanently. Why You May Want it Back. Liposuction is one of the oldest and most popular aesthetic procedures in the history of plastic surgery. It is used to remove fat from an area of the body that does not respond to diet and exercise. A medical instrument called a cannula is used to suction fat from the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, or waist. It can even be used on smaller areas, such as those pesky love handles, bra bulges, and muffin tops everyone [...]

You’ve had your liposuction procedure – congratulations. Even though it’s minimally-invasive, making up your mind to have your fat removed was a big decision which most likely was months in the making.

The liposuction results you long for are in your hands from here on out, so it’s important that you follow all the instructions. Making the Best of Your Liposuction [...]
What is nonsurgical vaginal rejuvenation? Pregnancy, childbirth, aging – all of these take a toll on a woman’s body. For years, breast augmentations, tummy tucks, and more recently, so-called mommy makeovers have been among the most popular plastic surgery procedures to address these issues. But there is another area of a woman’s body that undergoes drastic change over time: the vagina. As women age and undergo hormonal changes, they can suffer from a weakened vaginal wall, loss of lubrication and sexual satisfaction, and even mild incontinence. [...]
Even if you missed it because the weather has been unseasonably warm here in Tennessee, you would still know that it's fall because the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back. Not only that, you also get supermarket shelves full of pumpkin spice popcorn, marshmallows, chips, margarine, muffins, Jello, even cat food. There is no escaping the orange pumpkin mania. But another - and in our eyes more pleasant - color inspired by the arrival of autumn is pink. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the pink [...]
All You Need to Know About Designer Belly Buttons Most patients considering a tummy tuck may not have heard about a “designer belly button.” The belly button may very well be the last thing that comes to mind when there is so much else to love about a tummy tuck. And yet a designer belly button is an important part of an abdominoplasty. Just think about it: Your plastic surgeon will flatten your tummy by removing excess flab and skin, and possibly repair the abdominal muscle [...]

Speaking Up About Having a Procedure Like Liposuction When I think back to the days when my mother was the age I am now, I find it striking how much our willingness to talk about certain topics has changed. Did she get her hair colored? You bet! But was she going to be caught admitting it, or talking about it at all? No way. She’d rather have bitten off her tongue. But with the passing of time things changed. Talking about your hair, who your hairdresser [...]

It’s a known fact that when you look better, you feel better. And feeling good about yourself is one of the main ingredients to a happy life.

Making Sure you Choose Breast Surgery for the Right Reasons As much as men seem to be obsessed with the size of women’s breasts, their opinions are rarely the reason women undergo breast surgery. Most of the time, women do not choose to get implants or a breast lift to please their husbands or partners. They do it because they simply want to look and feel better. "Honey, you look perfect the way you are!" In fact, husbands often don’t understand why their wives are unhappy with [...]
Regain Pleasure and Confidence in your Body without Surgery As the female body changes due to aging or the transformation brought on by childbirth, many women become frustrated with their altered appearance, such as added pounds around the midsection and sagging breasts. But for many women, an aging or post-baby body presents another challenge. Vaginal dryness, sagging of the vaginal lips, decreased sensitivity, and occasional mild incontinence are all common problems for women who have been pregnant or those going through menopause. Even younger women and women [...]

Why Liposuction? Liposuction is a type of plastic surgery that was developed in the 60s and 70s to address a population that was steadily gaining an unhealthy amount of fat. Most everyone, then and now, was prescribed healthier foods and more exercise by doctors to achieve the bodies they wanted, but that simply isn’t enough for everyone. Every body is different, and because of that, one body may have different needs than another body, and may respond differently to diet and exercise. Making it even more difficult, not [...]

Mommy Makeover: Reinvent Yourself I’m a Mom. And although I know I will always be a mother, my days as Mommy have come to an end. While this may sound bittersweet, it has mostly been a relief. With four teenagers in the house, I appreciate that I no longer get ripped from sleep at 5 am by someone bouncing on my bed. (It’s a sad irony that I am now finally trained to wake up at 5 am all by myself.) I appreciate that I no [...]

Shrinking Your Midsection: Will a tummy tuck or liposuction give you the look you want? Whether it’s because of excess skin, fat, or a combination of both, you may be unhappy with the way your midsection looks. Being unhappy with the way you look and feel can be extremely frustrating and damaging to your self-confidence.

This month we welcome Amanda as a Spotlight Patient. Amanda came to NuBody Concepts of Brentwood because she was unhappy with her appearance. “I was not happy with the extra weight I was carrying in my midsection,” she says. “It made me feel frumpy and uncomfortable in my clothes, especially my jeans.” Many women feel exactly like Amanda. They often get frustrated when they hit a plateau with diet and exercise. They look in the mirror and pinch at fat bulges they’re unhappy with, they dream [...]
Aqualipo: The Lasting Impact When you elect to get any type of plastic surgery, there’s no doubt that it’s going to end up being a life-changing experience. Everyone has different motivations for wanting a procedure, but it’s usually to help achieve a specific look that they haven’t been able to get through a diet or extensive exercise. Often times, the body will retain fat in certain areas, including the legs, the stomach, and the hips. By choosing to have liposuction, patients can target these areas to [...]
How to Maintain Your New Figure After Getting Liposuction Liposuction procedures such as Aqualipo are a great way to eliminate unwanted/excess fat on your body. It’s designed to help you achieve the slimmer, more contoured body you desire. While it’s an effective solution, and can be a permanent one, it requires a bit of discipline on your part to keep then fat off after liposuction. If you have liposuction without adopting a healthy lifestyle, you risk building new fat deposits in the same places you treated with [...]

As people age, they’re likely to experience a variety of changes in their bodies, and unfortunately not all of these changes are welcome or expected. One particular change that comes on slowly and can be quite jarring for anyone, male or female, is hair loss. Growing up, many people use their hair to create part of their identity. When certain patches on your head are suddenly thinner, and you begin to notice parts of your scalp that may have been covered before, you’ll begin to look [...]
As they age, both men and women can struggle with a variety of issues in relation to fat on their body. Even with regular exercise and a healthy diet, it can be extremely difficult to lose certain pockets of fat in places like the stomach, hips, legs, and buttocks. When you put in so much effort to take care of your body, it can be frustrating when you don’t get the look you rightfully deserve. This is why people opt to get plastic surgery which will [...]
What You Need To Know About Getting A Hair Transplant In the past, when someone would start to lose their hair, not much could be done besides attempting a few different hairstyles to cover up the thinner areas, and wearing hats or hair pieces. Starting in the late 1950s, advances in medicine allowed for the first hair transplants to help cover bald spots. Since then, the process has gotten better for not only patients but the doctors as well, making it less risky. This has been [...]

With ever more procedures to choose from, how do you decide which is the best option for you?

Liposuction continues to rapidly increase in popularity [...]
Liposuction is Not Just a Women’s Procedure The media so often focuses on women’s bodies. We’re told that women should care more about what they look like, which is why it’s been more socially acceptable for them to turn to plastic surgery to improve their appearances.
