Congratulations - A very special congratulations goes out to two people on our Aesthetic Surgical Arts team! Jessica and Hannah have both given birth to their beautiful baby boys, Mason and Wyatt. We will miss them while they are on maternity leave and hope they are enjoying the time at home with the new additions to their families.

Lower Eyelid Surgery: A Cure for "Looking Tired" - Are your lower eyelids puffy and saggy? Because the skin around your eyes is very thin, this is often where people show the first signs of aging. Puffy lower eyelids can give you the appearance of looking tired when you're not.

Lower eyelid blepharoplasty is a way to improve the puffiness of your lower eyelids and help with lines and sagginess. This procedure usually takes less than an hour with recovery in about a week. If people are telling you that you look tired when you're not, consider a consultation with Dr. Hunts regarding your lower eyelids.

Tri-Luma® Cream - Tri-Luma® Cream combines three effective ingredients to treat people who have problems with melasma. Melasma is a common skin condition that occurs more frequently in women, a natural darkening of the skin caused by excessive production of melanin that usually worsens with exposure to the sun. With Tri-Luma® reaching it's maximum effect in 8 weeks, many patients experienced improvement after only 4 weeks. If you would like more information or to see before/after photos of this treatment visit www.triluma.com or call our office 541.434.0922 and we can help answer your questions.

Meet Rene - I joined Aesthetic Surgical Arts team in 2003 as part of the back office staff. In 2004 I became the Administrative Assistant for Dr. Hunts' outpatient surgery center, Aesthetic Surgery Center of Eugene. Over two years ago Dr. Hunts afforded me the opportunity to obtain my C.N.A license, which allows me to work directly with patients pre and post-operatively. Working with our patients is very rewarding and I enjoy the variety of my duties. I love my job and feel very blessed to have such great people to work with and such a beautiful place to come to work every day. During my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and am also a fitness enthusiast enjoying such things as mountain biking, hiking and snow skiing.

Many of you have probably already met Rene if you've had surgery with Dr. Hunts but you will probably be seeing a lot more of her since she will be filling in for Jessica while she is on maternity leave.
