Body Sculpting - The "Trouble Areas"

We all have unwanted fat on certain parts of our bodies. For some of us, it is livable, but for others, it's unacceptable and we will stop at nothing to get rid of it. Diet and exercise are important components to ridding yourself from unwanted fat, but certain areas on the body or "trouble areas" seem almost impossible to conquer.

"Trouble Areas"

Back Fat – caused by: Genes & poor-fitting clothes

Lumps and rolls on the upper back/around the bra line can be bothersome and hard to hide. While back fat can sometimes be due to genetics, not wearing a properly fitted bra can also be cause for unsightly back fat. When the back band on your bra is too tight or ill-fitting, it can create a bulge where the fabric is digging into the skin.**

**Make sure you come into our office at the Perimeter location and visit Laura in our lingerie shop, Artisan Undies. She is highly knowledgeable and can absolutely help you in getting into a correct fitting bra. Many women buy and wear bras that are ill-fitting and don't even know it. It takes getting fitted by a professional like Laura for you to realize that you have been sporting a bra that does not really fit you properly.

Arm Fat – caused by: Weight gain

Arms are usually one of the last areas people gain weight on their body because they contain fewer fat cells than other areas. Basically, fat is stored in your arms when there is nowhere else for it to go—creating sagging or "flabby" arms.

Belly Fat – caused by: Empty calories & fat

This is probably the most popular trouble area and due to empty calories and fat from foods –sugars and refined carbohydrates. If you can pinch your stomach and there is fat, then that fat is considered superficial (or on the surface), which can be addressed surgically. If your stomach protrudes and almost swollen, it is more likely the fat is deep and needs to first be addressed by exercise and diet. The best exercise to combat the belly is cardiovascular.

Butt Fat – caused by: Genes & body shape

Genes are partially responsible for the fat that accumulates in your rear, the other culprit is just the shape of your body. For instance, pear-shaped bodies naturally tend to carry extra weight in their butts.

Thigh Fat (Saddlebags) – caused by: Gender & the aging process

The thighs and hip area (that we so lovingly refer to as the saddlebags) can be the hardest area to target. Gender and genetics are two components that determine how our bodies respond to fat—this is especially true to the thigh area. As we age, we naturally burn fewer calories and the fat that gets deposited in the thighs tends to be thicker in nature causing your figure to lose its definition.

All of these trouble areas can be helped with our SlimLipo™ Body Sculpting Laser and the trained eye of both Dr. Alexander and Dr. Wang-Ashraf. Sophisticated consumers are becoming more educated on the benefits of advanced, minimally-invasive procedures. Men and women want to look better and be thinner, without the sizable tell-tale bruises that scream "I've had work done!" If diet and exercise haven't worked to achieve the complete result you want, this may be the treatment for you. Call our office today to schedule a consultation so you can discuss with our doctors the best way to achieve your goal.

Just In Time For Bikini Season...

Artisan Plastic Surgery - A Poem by Faith Thompson

We are proud to share a beautiful poem that was presented to Dr. Wang-Ashraf from one of her patients, Faith Thompson. Her poem truly expresses her experience with Artisan Plastic Surgery and she was kind enough to allow us to share her exquisite words with you...

Artisan Plastic Surgery

I walked in, unsure and scared, not feeling quite whole

You came in, smiling with your heart, and saw right to my soul

I had places on my body I felt were defects

You saw the vision in my eyes, of the ocean, sand and sunsets

I cried on your shoulder about the things in my past

You listened intently, from the first word to the last

I was greatly relieved, a doctor that will listen is hard to find

You listened so attentively, to better evaluate my mind

I was emotional and erratic, but otherwise perfectly sound

You saw that my emotions were completely in bound

I looked at you questionably wanting confirmation to my needs

You spoke words that gave me hope, like planting new seeds

I was then reassured I was in the right place

You endorsed that decision with a smile on your face

I made arrangements for the day that will change my life

You were meticulously skillful with your surgical knife

I am happy with the results; I now feel complete

You and your staff has literally helped me to my feet

My life is now different, defects are now gone

Your dedication to beauty, may it continue to live on

--Faith R. Thompson

Inaugural Blog

With all the social media outlets available to us today, we were excited to find another way to connect with our beloved patients/friends—if we currently see you, we cherish you! If we haven’t seen you for a while, we miss you! And if we haven’t met you, we’d like to! We are venturing into the world of Facebook™ and “blogging” in hopes of making all of you a part of our practice.

What are you in for? A lot! Our goal is to keep you up-to-date on a wide range of topics. From what’s new with us to our take on the latest news/articles in the health and beauty industry. From events/specials we are offering to new products and services we may have. There really is no formula for this blog—as long as you are reading, we are happy.

It’s exciting to explore our options and add the ideas as they come. If there is ever a topic or idea you are interested in, you are more than welcome to email Melissa Wilton, our new Project Coordinator (or Social Media Specialist) at mwilton@artisanplasticsurgery.com. She welcomes any input or ideas you may have for our blog content.

We will spark your interest with a spoiler of what’s to come with Artisan Baubles. Dr. Alexander and Dr. Wang-Ashraf have bestowed more beauty into this world (as if they didn’t do it enough already) with the birth of their new jewelry line, Artisan Baubles. Each piece is a collective presentation of both their artistic abilities and attention to detail—using precious materials such as sapphires, rubies, diamonds, jade, green amethyst, antique ivory, gold, silver and leather. We have their work on display and for sale in our front waiting area. They have created truly beautiful pieces of jewelry and if you find your way into our office, you will find yourself standing by the display cases—we often find ourselves doing the same. Pictures? Descriptions? Price info? Stay tuned!

Make sure you are our Fan on Facebook (link on the right)… we will let you know when our blog is updated through our statuses there. If not, be sure to check back here weekly!
