When it comes to a big event like your wedding day, all bets are off…you have to look your best. Dr. Hamori and our aestheticians can craft a game plan to create a more beautiful you, whether the big day is four weeks or two years from now. Subtle enhancements, surgical or non-surgical, will get you photo ready so that extra belly fat, smile lines or acne scarring are not a worry on your big day. If you're thinking surgery, prepare WAY ahead of time; you want to be fully recovered. That being said, some surgical procedures are becoming easier to recover from such as painless, drainless tummy tuck or a rapid recovery breast augmentation. Dr. Hamori prides herself in providing the most up-to-date procedures for her patients. If your timeline is a bit shorter, non-surgical options can give you subtle results without the downtime. Some of our most popular pre-wedding procedures include: Vivace RF Microneedling, Ultherapy ® , and Coolsculpting ® . It's all about being photo ready and creating a healthy glow! With six months to go, Ultherapy ® is a great option for those looking to tighten the face, neck and chest. This procedure has no downtime, but it does take about 6 months to achieve the full benefit because collagen remodeling is a gradual process. Similarly, Coolsculpting ® requires approximately three months for frozen fat deposits to disappear. These procedures are popular among mothers of the bride and groom looking to freshen up their look for their child's wedding day. Brides aren't the only ones who want to look good! Vivace ™ Microneedling is a powerful new multi-benefit procedure that combines the resurfacing of traditional microneedling with the collagen and elastin strengthening of radiofrequency.

Before the celebration could begin, however, I had a massive checklist of items that needed to be done: find the dress, choose the photographer, find a florist: the list went on and on. The one thing I didn't set aside was time for me.
