Southern Surgical Arts is holding a groundbreaking ceremony for its new 27,000 square foot building located in the Southside area between Cowart and Broad Street in downtown Chattanooga on Monday, April 8 at 5:15 pm.
It's almost time for bikini season and the national news is taking notice of the rise of cosmetic surgery procedures this year. Fox News had Dr. Elie Levine, a board-certified plastic surgeon, provide some tips for choosing your surgeon for your next cosmetic procedure.
Cosmetic surgery involves medical techniques designed to maintain or restore normal appearance or to enhance appearance to an aesthetically pleasing level. Individuals usually have cosmetic surgery by choice, because they are unhappy about some aspect of their appearance and want to improve it.
In 2011, more than 1.6 million Americans elected to undergo cosmetic surgery, also known as plastic surgery, while upwards of 8 million opted for nonsurgical cosmetic procedures, according to the Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. And it’s not just young Hollywood starlets looking to augment their chests and Botox away hardly noticeable lines around the eyes and mouth. The New York Times recently ran an article about men and women in their golden years who are getting a new lease on life, primarily by re-sculpting their eyes, a procedure that the American Society of Plastic Surgeons ranked the fourth most popular cosmetic surgery in the U.S.
About Cosmetic Eye and Brow Lifts
Eyelid surgery, also called blepharoplasty, is a very safe procedure that eliminates saggy, droopy eyelids and under-eye bags. With an average recovery time of just three to four days, it’s one of the most rewarding procedures offered by Dr. Carey Nease and Dr. Chad Deal, both board certified cosmetic surgeons at Southern Surgical Arts in Tennessee and North Georgia.
A Denver Plastic Surgeon recently announced he became a Quadruple Board Certified cosmetic surgeon. Dr. David Broadway has also been board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology.
Dr. Chad Deal received the Patients' Choice Award from vitals.com for 2012. The Patients' Choice honor is given to you as a reflection of Dr. Deal's patients' continued appreciation and praise for the quality of care and service he provides. Over the course of 2012, hundreds of thousands of patient reviews were written and shared. Only a select few consistently receive rave reviews. Dr. Deal has a near perfect score on vitals.com and his patients voted him for this honor.
Thanks to Southern Surgical Arts' and Dr. Deal's loyal patients who voted him for this honor.

“The only source of knowledge is experience.” - Albert Einstein
Just as individuals only master a sport after playing multiple times, surgeons only master a process after lots of practice. With Southern Surgical Arts being one of the busiest cosmetic surgery practices in the country, Dr. Vincent Gardner, Dr. Micheal Kluska, Dr, Justin Gusching and Dr. Chad Deal have gained a wealth of knowledge through their skill and experiences.
Hollywood celebrities are seen as flawless looking people but everyone knows that a majority of them spend a large amount of money to appear beautiful and to maintain their youth for as long as possible. While they can afford to splurge, the average women, even men will need to think twice before they can indulge in improving their looks through cosmetic surgery. Today, the procedures once thought to be only for the rich and famous, are available and affordable to everyone.
Injections
Botox, Juvederm, and Dysport are able to eliminate wrinkles around your eyes, on your forehead, around your mouth, and more. The cost for this procedure differs depending on the needs of the patient. The result usually last a few months up to a year, or longer. If you are looking for fuller lips, it can be achieved by injecting hyaluronic or collagen into your lips. Other injectables such as Radiesse, Sculptra and Restylane can be used to fill deeper lines in the face.
While the internet is the main resource for researching the latest in cosmetic and plastic surgery products and procedures as well as a successful tool connecting patients to accredited surgeons, it unfortunately contains misleading and inaccurate information, too. Patients must practice due diligence to ensure their health and well-being. As with any other healthcare service, it's important your choice of cosmetic or plastic surgeon be based on experience, education and training- not coy, clever marketing strategies.
