If you have been dealing with brain fog, low energy, or just feeling off, your hormones may be the reason. Low testosterone, low estrogen, and low progesterone are all incredibly common, especially as we age.

Perimenopause alone can send your hormones completely out of whack and most people do not even realize that is what is happening to them. 😱

When Erika got her labs done, she came back low in testosterone. From there, Dr. Nykiel created a custom pellet through Biote, tailored specifically to what her body needed. Not a one size fits all approach. A prescription built around her actual lab results. 🔬

Four weeks later? She feels amazing.

That is the thing about hormone pellet therapy that people do not talk about enough. It is not about adding hormones for the sake of it. It is about restoring what your body is actually missing. Follow up labs, a correct prescription, and a provider who takes the time to get it right makes all the difference.

If you have been brushing off the brain fog, the fatigue, or the mood shifts as just part of getting older, it might be time to get your labs checked. You deserve to feel like yourself again.

Thinking about a BBL? 🍑 Safety and results go hand in hand! 🤝

Using ultrasound technology during a BBL allows for a safer procedure by ensuring fat is injected precisely above the muscle. This helps avoid serious risks like fat embolisms. By seeing exactly where the fat is going, we can safely add more volume and achieve a better shape change for the best possible results.

Patient Corner: Mommy Makeover by Dr.Matthew Nykiel 🩷

After motherhood, our patient was ready to feel like herself again, and a fully customised Mommy Makeover was exactly what she needed.
Her procedure included:

✨ Breast Augmentation — adding volume and fullness for a balanced, feminine silhouette
✨ Mastopexy (Breast Lift) — lifting and reshaping for a more youthful, natural contour
✨ Mini Tummy Tuck — tightening the lower abdomen and removing excess skin for a cleaner, firmer midsection
✨ Lipo of Abdomen + Flanks — sculpting and smoothing for a more defined shape
✨ Renuvion Skin Tightening — taking the results even further with next-level skin contraction from the inside out

The goal? Balance, softness, and results that feel completely her. Safe to say she's glowing 🤍

Stage 1 complete. ✂️

This is the first half of a two-stage surgical transformation by Dr. Nykiel, starting with liposuction to debulk the abdomen before a future tummy tuck.

We used a combination of VASER ultrasound, MicroAire power-assisted lipo, and Renuvion skin tightening to remove about 3 liters of fat with minimal blood loss.

The ultrasonic technology breaks up fat cleanly, which means less bruising, less inflammation, and smoother long-term results.

Less blood = faster recovery, fewer lumps, and better contour. Stay tuned for stage 2. 👀

You may have seen this theory floating around the internet, but here's what the science actually says 🧠👀

There's been a lot of buzz online about whether ADHD or Autism can change the shape of your butt. As a plastic surgeon, I want to set the record straight: ADHD doesn't directly cause these changes, but the connection isn't completely made up either. Here's what clinicians actually observe:

📐 Anterior Pelvic Tilt: A forward tilt of the pelvis that shifts how the body carries itself

🧍 Altered Standing Posture: Differences in how someone naturally holds their body upright

🦆 Distinct Gait: Walking patterns that can resemble a ""duck walk""

💪 Structural Differences: Variations in muscle tone and connective tissue that affect overall shape

The Key Takeaway: These aren't changes in fat or muscle volume; they're rooted in the underlying bony and muscle-connective architecture of the body. That's a big distinction.

Why This Matters for Plastic Surgery: These native structural factors are often outside of an individual's control, but they play a huge role in shaping the results people see and seek when considering cosmetic procedures. Understanding your unique architecture is essential before going under the knife.
Correlation is not causation, but understanding your body is always powerful knowledge. 💡

This transformation speaks for itself 🤍

Our patient came to us ready for a change after motherhood and chose a Mommy Makeover to help restore her confidence and feel like herself again.
A Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures designed to address changes after pregnancy and childbirth, in this case including:

✨ Tummy Tuck - helps tighten stretched abdominal muscles and remove excess skin for a smoother, firmer midsection
✨ Breast Lift - lifts and reshapes the breasts to restore a more youthful, natural position and contour

The goal was balance, softness, and natural-looking results—and she absolutely radiates confidence in her after photo. That glow hits different when you feel good in your own skin 🤍

Did you know certain everyday products could be affecting your hormones? 🧴⚠️

It might sound surprising, but some common personal care products: including colognes and essential oils, contain compounds that act as hormone disruptors in the body. Here's what that can mean for men:

🔬 How it works: These substances can mimic estrogen in the body, potentially leading to physical changes like the development of excess breast tissue: sometimes called ""man b***s"" or gynecomastia.

⏱️ It's about exposure: A single use isn't likely to cause changes, but chronic, long-term, or heavy exposure raises the risk significantly. What you use every day adds up over time.

💪 Not just a fitness issue: If you've been eating well and exercising but still can't lose breast tissue, the culprit may not be your lifestyle, it could be something in your environment or daily routine worth investigating.

🏥 This is important: Any unexplained breast tissue changes in men should be evaluated by a doctor. While it may have a hormonal cause, it's critical to rule out other conditions, men can develop breast cancer in roughly 1–2% of cases.

Your health is always worth a closer look. Don't ignore the signs your body is sending you.
