The Surgical Artist's Blog

We love looking back at the previous year to see which blog articles resonated most for our readers. Not only do we enjoy seeing which were our “greatest hits,” it also helps us to determine what our readers are most interested in going forward. Check out our list of the 5 most popular blog articles in 2016.

Women’s heart health is an issue of vital importance to many members of the Southern Surgical Arts family, and they are especially vocal about this cause during the month of February, National Heart Month. At last Friday’s 3^rd annual IgniteRed event, SSA shared their commitment with more than 200 of their closest friends, family, community members, and partners as they all came together to raise awareness about cardiovascular disease in women.

We all have unwanted hair on our bodies. And it doesn’t take long until the shaving, waxing, threading, sugaring, and tweezing gets really old. We spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars over time to keep unwanted hair away, all the while dealing with the unpleasant side effects of our hair removal efforts like ingrown hairs, infected bumps, rashes, and itching. It is definitely a hairy world out there, but the medspa at Southern Surgical Arts can help you do something about it!

If you are one of the approximately 50 million men or 30 million women who suffer from pattern baldness or hair thinning, you know how distressing it can be to watch a previously-thick head of hair be diminished over time.

We are excited to announce that Dr. Carey Nease was recently named a finalist in the Best of the Best awards for North Georgia! Thousands of votes were cast in this year’s awards, and Dr. Nease was voted to be one of “best of the best” cosmetic surgeons in the area.

Today we are pleased to announce some exciting news regarding SSA’s very own Dr. Carey Nease! Last month, Dr. Nease was elected to the office of President-Elect of the American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery. He was nominated and elected by the current board of trustees. His term, which begins this month and ends in December, will then segue into a term of President of the Board for the year 2018.

The New Year is HERE! It’s that time that so many of us use to take stock and examine ways we can improve our quality of life, our health, our habits, and relationships for the year to come. New Year’s Resolutions can be so helpful because they force us to look at things we are not happy with, and take steps to change them. It’s a bonus to know that so many others are also doing the same thing, at the same time—hopefully giving us a little extra motivation, not to mention a feeling of camaraderie. And the New Year is an ideal time to start fresh with a new routine.

Christmas is over and 2017 is on the way! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend with special time with your families and friends. As the year winds to a close, we wanted to take a few minutes to thank our readers, patients, and families for their support during the past year.

It’s that time of year again…time to find exactly the right gift for everyone on your list, while simultaneously getting the house decorated, chauffeuring the kids to Christmas pageant rehearsal, house cleaning, potlucking, gift wrapping, don’t forget office partying (and, of course, working)—in other words, “in your spare time.”

Ok, ladies, let’s talk about something a lot of women are dying to talk about, but are too shy to mention— the female area. Most women don’t realize how many other women deal with the same vaginal issues they have for one simple reason—no one likes to talk about problems “down there.” So the topic becomes taboo, and that leaves us thinking we’re the only ones dealing with problems. Well, that stops today!
