Very happy with my results - I highly recommend her

Catherine listened to what I wanted during my consultation. She used a combination of different fillers, voluma, volbella, vollure and Botox to give me the results I hoped for. I’m very happy with my results! I highly recommend her!

Beautiful new beginning!

Gurpreet is absolutely amazing! She is meticulous and such a perfectionist. Definitely in her element of artistry, she takes her time and explains everything throughout the way. She ensured I was ready and not having any questions or hesitations before beginning my first injectables. It went splendid. It did not hurt. More of a numb sensation and minor tug. Worth all of the experience and I...

Most Effective Facial Ever

My first experience was amazing. I have been getting facials once a month for a very long time and this was one of the more professional ones I have had. I lived in Los Angeles the last two years, and you would think Beverly Hills would have nice med spas, but Syngery was worlds apart! Sherry (spelling?) was extremely knowledgeable and understanding of my skin and my personal concerns with it....

Jessner chemical peel

I had a jessner peel at Synergy with Bridget (on Friday December 6) and I am beyond happy with my results. I think she did a total of 3 jessner passes and then I left with a yellow retinol solution that needed to stay on my face until the next morning. I washed my face the next morning an was instructed to only apply aftercare moisturizer several times a day. I started to peel late in the day...

Best MedSpa

I have been a client of Synergy for several years. Brooke was extremely professional and knowledgeable. She asked questions and spent time listening to my concerns and going over options. I live in California and have had treatments at MedSpa's here but not with great results. It is worth my time and money for me to travel to NC to know I can trust that I am getting the best services possible...

16 Q&A

Q: Should I have tummy tuck or Liposuction first? (Photo)
Answered by Dr. HughesMarch 10, 2023

A: Hello there! Based on the photos that you've shared along with your question, I would say that you're a Tummy Tuck Candidate. For the majority of my patients who receive tummy tucks, we will pair liposuction along with the abdominoplasty for the best results!

Q: What will recovery be like from day to day after breast augmentation? How soon will I be able to pick up my one year old baby?
Answered by Dr. HughesJanuary 5, 2023

A: Hello and congratulations on scheduling your surgery!

For a breast augmentation, you want to avoid heavy lifting for up to 6 weeks. For the first 4 weeks after your surgery, you should not lift anything over 10 lbs. Ideally, you would not lift anything over 20 lbs for the full 6 weeks after your procedure. However, life with a toddler is not always that simple! Picking your child up once or twice in the 4-6 week period following your surgery is not going to completely ruin your results. Everyone is different and it is extremely important to listen to your body. This time is recommended to ensure that there is no bleeding or moving of the implants and should be taken seriously. I recommend holding your one year old when you have a couch or chair to support some of the weight! Best of luck!

Q: I want large, lifted breasts with a natural look. Should I get a breast lift with or without implants? (photos)
Answered by Dr. HughesApril 14, 2022

A: Hi there! Based on your photos and treatment goals, you seem like you could be a good candidate for a mini breast lift since you do not have severe sagging of the breasts. If you do not wish for implants, you would always opt for a fat transfer. This procedure would remove fat from a larger area (stomach, flanks, thighs) using the suction liposuction technique, and then would be processed and placed back into the breasts for a natural enhancement. If you are okay with implants but would prefer a natural look, you could go for a small, medium-profile silicone gel implant (330-350cc).

Good luck with your surgery journey!

Q: Not sure which procedure is right for me - Arm sculpting or arm lift? (photos)
Answered by Dr. HughesApril 14, 2022

A: Hi there! Based on these pictures alone, you do seem like a good candidate for an arm lift (Brachioplasty) in combination with liposuction. This procedure focuses on removing excess fat and reducing excess skin to create a more toned appearance. I know you don't want to pay for 2 surgeries, but sometimes surgeons are able to work out a better payment option if you combine liposuction with your surgery, rather than needing to do multiple liposuction approaches to get your desired look.

Make sure to ask your local plastic surgeon if their practice offers a payment plan, such as CareCredit, this is a great option to finance your surgery. Good luck!

Q: Can abdominal fascia laxity be repaired? (photos)
Answered by Dr. HughesJuly 3, 2019

A: Hello there. Thank you for reaching out.  I'm sorry you're having to go through this.

It is difficult to tell without seeing your preoperative photos, But the pictures you sent definitely imply that Your repair Might have "failed".  In other words, yes, stitches can break, They can tear through the abdominal fascia/muscles, and the diastasis can "come back".  Unfortunately, the only real solution to that is to Repeat the surgery. Depending on what the surgeon finds at the reoperation, Occasionally we need to Perform a more aggressive abdominal wall repair.  As long as there is no hernia, you are "Safe", But from a cosmetic perspective you may want to Investigate your options.  I would recommend going back to your surgeon and by comparing Photos, and a physical exam, they should be able to present your options.  Good luck, and I hope this helps.
