A note of gratitude, a treatment calendar, and a few kind tips for the table — from our Lovell Road family to yours.
Every November, we pause to count our blessings here in Farragut, and you are at the top of the list. Since 2012, you’ve trusted us with your faces, your confidence, your energy, and some of your most personal health goals. You’ve sent us your sisters, your husbands, your best friends, and your neighbors from Concord to Turkey Creek. We never take that trust for granted.
So this year, instead of a generic “Happy Thanksgiving,” we wanted to give you something useful: a simple countdown to help you walk into Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, 26 November feeling rested, refreshed, and like yourself — plus a little help for the weeks between the turkey and the New Year.
Why Timing Matters
Many of our most-loved treatments don’t show their full results the same day. Some need a week or two to settle in; others are best done right before the big day. A little planning means you get to enjoy the results at the table and in every holiday photo afterward, instead of waiting for them to arrive in January.
Here’s how to plan it.
🗓️ 2½ Weeks Out (Week of 9 November): Book the Treatments That Need Time
Botox & neurotoxins. Results typically build over about two weeks, so this is the sweet spot for softening frown lines and crow’s feet before the family gathers. Book this week and you’ll be at your best by Thanksgiving.
Dermal fillers (Juvederm). Restore volume to cheeks and lips or smooth deeper lines. Booking now leaves time for any minor swelling to settle before the holiday.
PDO thread lifts—a non-surgical lift for the jawline, brows, and cheeks. Planning gives you a comfortable healing window so you can enjoy the refreshed result when it counts.
PRP facial or microneedling. These collagen-building treatments improve tone and texture over time. Start now, and your skin will be glowing by the holiday.
🗓️ About 10 Days Out (Week of 16 November): Polish & Prepare
Dermaplaning. Gentle exfoliation that removes dull surface skin and fine “peach fuzz,” so makeup goes on smoothly, and photos look flawless. Minimal downtime makes it perfect for the week before the holiday.
Start a Kybella plan. Bothered by a little fullness under the chin? Kybella works over a series of sessions, so starting now sets you up beautifully for Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Book your Thanksgiving-week IV now. Those last appointments before the holiday fill quickly. Reserve your spot this week.
🗓️ Thanksgiving Week (November 23–25): Hydrate & Recharge
IV therapy and vitamin therapy. Hosting a house full of relatives? Driving over the mountains to see family? Running on coffee and cranberry sauce? An IV drip before the big day helps you hydrate and recharge so you have the energy to enjoy it all. It’s also a lovely way to bounce back after travel or a long holiday weekend.
Thanksgiving week appointments are limited. Call early to claim yours.
🥧 On a Weight Loss Program? You Can Still Love Thanksgiving
If you’re one of our weight loss patients, Thanksgiving can feel like a test. It doesn’t have to be. Many of our patients already have a smaller appetite, which can make the holiday easier. A few gentle tips:
- Use a smaller plate and serve yourself first, before the table gets crowded.
- Lead with protein. Turkey first, then your favorite sides.
- Slow down. Put your fork down between bites and enjoy the conversation. Your body will tell you when it’s had enough.
- Go easy on very rich, fatty foods and alcohol, which can leave you feeling uncomfortable, especially on certain weight loss medications.
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
- Pick your favorites. If Grandma’s pecan pie only comes once a year, have a sliver and savor every bite. This is about balance, not perfection.
As always, if you have questions about your medication around the holidays, call us. We’re here to help.
💛 The Gift of Feeling
The holidays can be wonderful and exhausting at the same time. If you’ve been feeling tired, foggy, irritable, or just “not yourself,” it may be more than holiday stress. Shifting hormones can affect sleep, mood, energy, and libido for both women and men.
Our hormone replacement therapy begins with a personalized consultation, so we can find out what’s really going on and build a plan around you. For intimate wellness, we also offer the O-Shot for women and the P-Shot for men, discreet treatments that many of our patients say changed their confidence.
This season, consider giving yourself the gift of feeling like you again. You deserve it.
🙏 What We’re Thankful For This Year
- You, our patients, for trusting us with something as personal as how you look and feel.
- Your stories. The bride who felt beautiful on her day. The mom who finally took an hour for herself. The husband who got his energy back. They’re why we do this.
- Your reviews and referrals. Every kind word and every friend you send our way means the world to a small practice like ours.
- Our Farragut community, with its greenways, its mountain views, and its neighbors who still wave from the driveway.
- Our team, led by Timothy Fox and Lynne Worthington, brings their experience, care, and heart to every appointment.
