TUCK
ACTUAL PATIENT
Dr. Spann at Little Rock Plastic Surgery focuses on creating a flat, chiseled abdominal region. Fatty deposits in the abdominal area can be particularly challenging to eliminate with diet and exercise alone. Additionally, many individuals are faced with the frustrating aesthetic problem of abdominal skin laxity (loose, hanging skin), which can develop as a result of: genetics, childbirth, hormonal imbalances, age, and dramatic weight gain or loss. As with the aforementioned abdominal fat pockets, abdominal skin laxity cannot be corrected simply by adopting a healthier lifestyle. Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) surgery offers an effective solution to both fatty deposits and skin laxity in the stomach region. A tummy tuck procedure involves the surgical removal of excess skin and fat from the lower and middle abdominal region (lipoadominoplasty), followed by the tightening of the abdominal musculature, which serves to create an enviably flat, smooth abdomen. Contact one of our patient coordinators at 501.219.8000 to schedule your cosmetic consult today.

FAB&T
MORTGAGE aving previously been a developer, home builder and realtor, Tammy Tompkins, VP and manager of FAB&T’s Mortgage Department, says she understands every side of a real estate transaction. “I come from a family of builders and developers,” Tompkins says. “I guess it is just in my DNA! It is hard for me to remember a time or job I have worked that wasn’t related in some capacity to home building from the dirt up.” That’s a big benefit when borrowers are trying to decide on how to proceed with a loan and allows her the opportunity to offer good guidance. “FAB&T Mortgage is beneficial to borrowers in many ways,” Tompkins says. “We offer the ultimate in customer service. We are locally owned and operated, and all of our mortgage staff are on-site. The loan officers, processors, and underwriters are right at our fingertips to work through anything very quickly and move the process through with ease.” FAB&T began its mortgage division in 1982 and has a long and proven history of success in the industry. It can originate loans for all loan programs available: conventional, FHA, VA, Rural Develop-
ment, ADFA programs, and city grants where available. Tompkins says people would be surprised to know just how much the mortgage industry has changed in the last several years, but while regulations have tightened up, her team has stayed on top of all the new and latest changes to best serve their customers. “We work with borrowers to find the perfect fit for their needs,” she says. “We have created a very streamlined digital process and are completely paperless. We can handle the loan from start to finish with the touch of a button. I have gathered the perfect team of experts in the field and we can work through loans situations with ease.” In addition to serving its customers, FAB&T Mortgage also serves the community. “We proudly partner with Habitat for Humanity of Central Arkansas. For every home loan closed, we donate $100 to Habitat for Humanity, and have committed to help build a home in 2019,” Tompkins says.

aggart Design & Build is a Little Rock, Arkansas based firm specializing in the construction of custom homes. It’s parent company, Taggart Design Group incorporates architecture & interiors into this equation allowing for a full service resource. Led jointly by father & son (Burt Taggart Jr & Burt Taggart III), the boutique firm specializes in clients & projects that require a high level of design sensitivity, technical expertise as well as hands on principal involvement. For more than 50 years, Burt Taggart Jr. has designed thoughtfully conceived, architecturally-minded custom residences. Now that effort is paired with a construction team fluent in articulating and executing the client’s vision and bringing it to life. In total, Taggart Design Group is able to offer to its clients a skilled set of consultants and professionals who work together to lead projects from design to construction to interior décor. “The construction side of our business started in 2010 out of necessity to give our architectural clients a more specialized resource for construction” says Burt III. “Prior to 2010, I was working solely on the architecture side of our business. Now both entities are grouped together under the name Taggart Design Group, offering a full-service solution for both design, construction and interiors. The construction side of Taggart Design Group has been rewarding because it has allowed us to provide a better final product – whether it be a new home or renovation – for our clients.” “Quite often our projects have custom furniture or millwork or aesthetic, custom interior & exterior steel components, etc - any of which gives our team an opportunity to support & compliment the broader architectural design idea. For this reason, we work very carefully to cultivate, communicate and coordinate with a team of subcontractors that can execute complex design ideas,” says firm partner, Burt Taggart III. Burt Taggart III grew up surrounded by architecture. “I remember my sisters and I running blueprints on the weekends to earn extra money. Architecture and design was an ongoing conversation growing up - something that often informed everything else.” “After many years focusing solely on the architecture side of our work, I appreciate the construction side challenge & reward of helping to deliver a design-specific home to our clients. Experiencing how happy our clients are once they begin living in them is thrilling.” Today, Taggart Design Group is rendering and building some of the most visually striking homes in Arkansas. For more information or to see how Taggart Design Group can serve your needs, visit them at taggartdesigngroup.com, check their social media account on Facebook, or call (501) 485-3049.

A CUT ABOVE THE REST INSIDE THE O.R. WITH THESE AWARD-WINNING CARDIOVASCULAR SURGEONS
CD WILLIAMS, MD • MICHAEL NOLEN, MD • KRISTOFER FREELAND, MD • DAVID PENNYWELL, MD The specialized surgical team at Arkansas Heart Hospital is bringing emerging technology into the operating room, improving the patient experience and decreasing recovery times. Dr. Michael Nolen, who is a part of the structural heart program at Arkansas Heart Hospital, credits new minimally invasive capabilities for the growing number of heart valve surgeries. “Both the minimally invasive mitral and aortic valve surgeries are done through a small incision on the right side of the chest, about the length of my pinky finger,” he said. “To obtain bypass, I also make a small incision in the groin. This approach gives the patients the benefits of a surgical valve replacement or a mitral valve repair, which are more durable, through a smaller incision.” The results speak for themselves. There is less healing necessary, so the length of the hospital stay is reduced. Patients are able to get up and move around faster and more efficiently, and ultimately resume their normal routines sooner.

But the advancements – and patient benefits – don’t stop there. “New technologies have really changed how patients are doing in their hospital stay, and how they do postoperative,” said Dr. Freeland. “Streamlining the process and new innovation in procedures decreases not only their stay but also significantly decreases the amount of pain medicine the patient needs after surgery. Patients get out of the hospital quicker and are back to functioning faster.” Visit arheart.com for more information on cardiovascular surgery and other services available at Arkansas Heart Hospital.
