Top trends in cosmetic surgery for the spring and summer in 2012

Posted by Southern Surgical Arts on Jul 10, 2012 5:59:00 PM
RealSelf.com, a customer review site released top trends in cosmetic surgery for the spring and summer in 2012.

Botox® is still very popular with patients. Fillers for the face have also seen an increase this spring and summer. "Nonsurgical options are popular in the summer because there is minimal downtime," says Dr. Carey Nease, a triple-board certified facial plastic and cosmetic surgeon. "It allows the patient to come in one day and be back in the pool with their kids the next."

Brazilian Butt Lifts are seeing an increase in popularity. Curvy celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez have helped with what RealSelf.com shows as a 28% increase in this procedure. Realself.com also says patients satisfaction is also very high at 93%.

Dr. Deal is the South's premier surgeon for Brazilian Butt Lifts. In fact, he has taught at two AACS symposiums in the past year and taught the procedure to a group of cosmetic and plastic surgeons from around the world in St. Louis last month. "This is one of my favorite procedures to perform as patients are highly satisfied with the results," says Dr. Chad Deal at Southern Surgical Arts. "Patients love the feminine curves the procedure provides."

The Mommy Makeover is still popular in the summer, even though it requires some downtime.  The combination of procedures usually include breast augmentation, breast lift (with or without implants), a tummy tuck and liposuctionThe American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) reports that breast augmentation and tummy tucks were two of the most popular procedures of 2011. RealSelf also says that online searches for this procedure is up 13 percent over the past year. 98% of patients said the Mommy Makeover surgery was "worth it."

Baby Got Back? Fat Transfer to the Buttock Could Be the Answer

Posted by Southern Surgical Arts on Aug 23, 2011 9:02:00 AM
Fat has gotten a bad rap. But fat in the right place is a good thing! Just imagine excess fat where you don't want it, in the abdomen area for example, going into places where you do! Using a fat transfer procedure, fat can be transferred in small or large volumes. Choosing a surgeon who is not only skilled, but has experience is important when making this surgical decision.

We all know that J-Lo and Kim Kardashian have made a full buttock a pop culture icon this side of the century. Dr. Deal and Dr. Nease at Southern Surgical Arts have the experience, education and expertise to help you achieve a full buttock with large volume transfer to the buttock. The procedure is called the Brazilian Butt Lift. We invite you to view our before and after photo gallery for typical results patients have experienced.

A Brazilian Butt Lift is a two part procedure: first, unwanted fat is removed through liposuction which is then processed. In the second part of the procedure, the prepared fat is injected into the buttock to create a fuller buttock and/or more lifted buttock. After the procedure patients have immediate results with final results on average at 6 months.
