Are you ready for the holidays? I am certainly trying to get there. Have I started shopping for gifts for my friends and family? Not exactly. Have I began to make sure my skin is clear and glowing and ready to be kissed under the mistletoe, YES!! Thankfully, I work for Dr. Conkright and have Martha (AKA-the skin guru) available to help me with all the details, and there are A LOT! Year round I use the Obagi Nu-Derm System that we sell in our office, which by the way is the CADILLAC of skin care systems. However, I must tell you that […]
Every cosmetic procedure takes a little while-or-longer to show its full effect so running to the mirror right after a procedure expecting “instant results” is futile. If any professional offers you instant results, RUN. Ther is no such thing. From Botox to a Face Lift there is certainly some time to wait for the end “look”. In this decade of aging baby boomers that really are not comfortable with their appearance, instant gratification marketing is selling youth!
The morning new programs, the internet, you next door neighbor and yes, Dr. Oz seem to be considered the leaders in determining what is […]

It is normal for your eyes to look a little swollen first thing in the morning. BUT drinking alcohol, eating salty foods, allergies and watching “The Notebook” can produce bigger bags that stick around for a few hours. Here are a few ideas to get rid of them fast.
Choose a caffeinated cream such as Neocutis Lumiere Bio-restorative Eye Cream (sold in our office). It smoothes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, alleviates puffiness and refreshes the delicate eye area to help minimize signs of fatigue. Apply am and pm to delicate area around eyes. (This is a great product! I use it […]
“When it seems as though you should give up, HOPE whispers, try it one more time”.
In December of 2010, my friend, a native of southern Indiana got the startling news that her breast biopsy was positive for stage one breast cancer. Literally, on the very same day that she had an appointment to see Dr. Conkright about an Abdominoplasty she became aware she had a malignancy. Prior to this always focused on her family and her demanding job, she left very little time to focus on herself. Finally, she had made plans to take care of the abdomen that childbearing […]
Breast implants are celebrating 50 years of making women happy and satisfied with the way they look this year. Since 1962, much advancement has been made and the procedure’s future looks even brighter.
Breast implants have an interesting history. The truth is for five decades doctors have been performing breast augmentation. 2012 marks the golden anniversary of these implants. The first breast augmentation procedure was performed in 1962, but it wasn’t until the mid 80’s that this procedure became more popular and was openly talked about. 316,000 breast augmentation procedures were performed in 2011 alone and it is still one of the […]
When Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Jewel was asked to partner with the ASPS and serve as the national spokesperson for the inaugural National Breast Reconstruction Awareness (BRA) Day on Oct. 17th she was both honored, and shocked at the same time. She was shocked to hear that 70 percent of women who are eligible for breast reconstruction are not properly informed of their options; therfore, (as few as) 20 percent of breast cancer survivors who undergo mastectomy currently choose to have reconstruction surgery. Yet, honored to be a part of a campaign that will help improve the lives of women through education […]

Thanks to popular coupon discount sites such as Groupon and social media such as Facebook, today’s consumers are being handed a very easy, online-driven way to quickly become price shoppers for almost any product or service you can imagine…including for better or worse aesthetic surgery.
It is a dangerous trend when consumers skip over the skills and expertise of the surgeon, to the price as the single deciding factor for professional aesthetic services. Do they think so little of possibility of less than favorable result, or is that really a consideration? Is Cosmetic surgery shopping really like buying gas or dental […]
Yes, your sex life, you did read the title correctly. A study was performed that strongly supports the hypothesis that cosmetic breast augmentation can have a significant and profound positive impact on a woman’s satisfaction with her breasts and her psychosocial and sexual well-being. Well, SIGN ME UP! The women in this study were questioned before surgery and followed postoperatively for one year. All had to fill out a questionnaire called the BREAST Q, that allowed them to rate; satisfaction with breasts, psychosocial well-being, and sexual well-being, from 0-100. Average scores increased post procedure from 27 to 70, from […]
