We are finally heading out of the winter blues, and onto a much more colorful time of the year-Spring! I'm here to let you in on the hottest hair trends of the spring season.
1) Keep hair simple and soft. The runway is full of clothes that have busy colors and bold patterns so keeping the hair simple is the way to go
2) Keep accessories minimal. A few exposed bobby pins are just enough.
3) Short, sporty cuts are the way to go. Think Victoria Beckham.
4) Don't fight your hair's natural texture. Go natural, whether it's wavy or straight.
5) RED is the hottest hue of the spring season. Be sure to never go more that 2 shades away from your natural hair color.
6) Speaking of red, bold color is what spring is all about. Whether it's caramel highlights throughout your dark locks, or a vibrant shade of blonde!
7) Chic Braids are THE way to style your hair this Spring. You can do a skinny french braid across your hair line, or pull all your hair together into one large braid swept to the front.
8) Long, luscious waves are super trendy. Go natural with your wavy hair this spring, or run a large barrel curling iron through your straight locks for a look that's different from everyday.
9) Super sleek locks are all the rave. Add some straightening serum to your locks after blowdrying for stick straight tresses.
10) Lucky for those who like to keep their hair out of your face, half updos are in. Anchor half your hair back with a couple of bobby pins or decorative clips.
As you can see, many hairstyles and hair colors are part of the Spring trend this year. You can work with your natural hair texture, switch up your hair color, and add a few bobby pins to keep your hair off your face and be right on cue with the hottest hairstyle this Spring!

Breast Augmentation Class Recap
One week ago we held a breast augmentation class here at Dr. Conkright's office. It was the first time we have ever put together an event like this, but it turned out to be a huge success! We had a very nice crowd who filled up our lobby. A lot of individuals brought a friend with them too! We offered beverages, cheese, and fruit to all of our guests. We started the class with a brief introduction and then followed with a short video produced by the ASPS about breast augmentation. Dr. Conkright then took over and spoke about breast augmentation as he would in a normal consult setting. We had a computer hooked up to the TV so that at the end of Dr. Conkright's presentation he was able to show the class before and after pictures of our past breast augmentation patients (which are located right here on our website).
The class ended with a previous consult patient who modeled for the rest of the class. She stood up and gave the class a 360 so they could get a good look at what she looks like. Then, she tried on sizers (sample implants) that had been picked out by Dr. Conkright specifically for her. She then came back out to show the class a good idea of what she would look like after her breast augmentation surgery.
To finish the night, we asked each class attendee to speak with a Clinical Team Associate who gave each individual a coupon for breast surgery as well as an official quote. Most individuals decided to go ahead and schedule another appointment with Dr. Conkright so that he could measure them for implant size. A lot of the class attendees were even ready to schedule their surgery!
All in all, I would say our class was an absolute success and we look forward to having more classes like this in the future!

Not Everything Great is New...
People tend to always want the newest version of anything and everything, whether it be electronics, cars, fashion etc. But when it comes to some things, such as plastic surgery, not everything new is great.
Dr. Conkright has been in practice over 25 years and a lot of the techniques he uses in his practice today are ones he has used for many, many years. Do you know why this is? It is because he knows, after 25 years, that these techniques and procedures work and will produce predictcable, effective results.
We, as a society, love celebrities and it seems everyday there is another celebrity endorsing a brand new product. Well, I've got to say that on a day to day basis we do not see Hollywood actors and actresses coming through our door for consultations. What we see are most of are mothers who want their body back like it was before they had children. Or older individuals who want to look as youthful on the outside as they feel on the inside. Or young women who just simply are not satisified with their A cup bras.
The bulk of each surgery day throughout each year consists of tummy tucks, breast surgeries, and eyelid surgeries. And he uses techniques he has seen produce amazing results time and time again, which in turn produces pleased patients. If something new in plastic surgery comes out, sure Dr. Conkright will take a look at it. And if it produces consistent, effective results then he may utilize it. If it does not, then he won't.
Just keep in mind that in plastic surgery not everything great is new and not everything new is great.
