Southern Surgical Arts’ Chad Deal, MD is considered the area expert in breast and body cosmetic surgery in Chattanooga, North Georgia and North Alabama.
After nine years of medical school and general surgery residency at the University of Alabama School of Medicine and Baptist Health Systems in Birmingham, Dr. Deal made his way to Las Vegas, Nevada where he completed a year-long cosmetic surgery fellowship program under the guidance of Lane Smith, MD, a well-known, quadruple board-certified Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon. During his fellowship in Las Vegas, Dr. Deal performed more than 800 major cosmetic surgery procedures.
His experience working along side Dr. Smith, coupled together with a double board-certified status and fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, has made Dr. Deal a sought after surgeon in the areas of Breast Augmentation, Breast Lifts & Reductions, Brazilian Butt Lifts, Mommy Makeovers, SmartLipo, Vaginal Rejuvenation, and Tummy Tucks. Today, Dr. Deal works with Dr. Carey Nease at Southern Surgical Arts to offer patients artistic cosmetic surgery and natural enhancements with minimal downtime or scarring.
In addition to helping patients look and feel better about themselves, Dr. Deal is known for his bedside manner and the time he takes with each patient. One patient from North Georgia said, “Dr. Deal is a doctor who will spend the time to answer any concerns and will go above and beyond to make sure his patients are comfortable with the surgery process. He is detailed and that is a rare find in today's ‘rush’ world.”

Southern Surgical Arts, Chattanooga's leading cosmetic surgery center, invites you to join us for a Spooktacular patient appreciation event. Dr. Carey Nease and Dr. Chad Deal, Chattanooga’s Best of the Best Cosmetic Surgeons will award over $10,000 in prizes and drawings. Southern Surgical Arts will also collect gently used and new bras for charity.
Breast Oasis is a nationwide charity that accepts bras from patients who have had breast augmentations and no longer fit in their pre-surgery bras. Southern Surgical Arts partners with Breast Oasis and Chattanooga Room in the Inn, a local organization that helps women and children in need. Since April, Southern Surgical Arts and its patients have donated more than 75 bras that have been sorted, washed, gift-wrapped and delivered to women and young adults in Chattanooga.
When considering if breast augmentation surgery is right for you, it’s important you feel completely comfortable and confident before undergoing the knife. You will need to thoroughly research the procedure before choosing to proceed. In doing so, you are sure to come across an abundance of information; some true, some not. Here are guidelines on finding credible information as well as a breakdown of what’s true and what’s a myth.

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 liposuction. The 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."
If you are interested in Botox, fillers (Restylane or Juvederm), a Brazilian Butt Lift, Tummy Tuck or a Mommy Makeover, call and schedule your complimentary consultation with one our our surgeons. Dr. Nease and Dr. Deal are both fellowship-trained, Board-Certified Cosmetic Surgeons who specialize in cosmetic procedures. Together, they have performed more than 7,000 cosmetic surgery procedures in the last 5 years. They both use the latest technology to produce natural, artistic results for you. Our surgeons will consult with you to determine your aesthetic goals, and offer you the best surgical or non-surgical options to help you achieve those goals. They are meticulous in their attention to detail to ensure that you have minimal scarring and the fastest recovery time possible.
Today, Southern Surgical Arts has announced the launch of a redesigned website created to cater to both the visual and logical cosmetic surgery patient. On the new site, the Chattanooga cosmetic surgery center provides a wide range of information on Smart Lipo, Face & Neck Lifts, Cosmetic Breast Surgery, Tummy Tucks, Liposuction and numerous other outpatient operations.
Equipped with an extensive portfolio of before-and-after photos along with short videos for patients who prefer to see the Southern Surgical Arts’ difference, the site is one of the most aesthetically designed sources for cosmetic surgery available. Supporting the website’s visual appeal is a generous amount of written information on available cosmetic surgeries including factual data, surgery statistics and biographical backgrounders on the surgery center’s board certified surgeons.
Also found on the website is a patient portal for existing cosmetic surgery patients. The portal gives access to electronic medical records, consent forms, general financial information and the treatments process, all through a secure log in.
“After enhancing the appearance of our patients, we felt it was time to give our own practice website a facelift,” said Dr. Nease, Southern Surgical Arts’ triple-board certified Cosmetic and Facial Plastic Surgeons. “We set out to create an intuitive, user-friendly website and ended up with a clean and professional page that I feel will make the whole process for our patients a pleasant experience.”

Both charity outreach programs have a common thread -- they target women who have undergone a cosmetic surgery procedure.
Through Breast Oasis, women who have had breast augmentations and no longer fit in their pre-surgery bras are encouraged to donate the slightly used under garments. Once collected by participating retailers and cosmetic surgery centers, like Southern Surgical Arts, these bras are then sorted, washed, gift-wrapped and delivered to women in need. Recipients, many of which are in homeless or crisis centers, are even provided with messages of encouragement from the donators through an online bra-identification number messaging system.
To date, Breast Oasis has collected and donated over 100,000 bras to women across the country and has plans to expand internationally, including in disaster zones. With the recent launch of Southern Surgical Arts' bra collection initiatives they hope to take in 400 bras for the Breast Oasis charity this year.
"It is truly a grass-roots movement to bring the community together," said Dr. Chad Deal, a fellowship-trained and Board Certified Cosmetic Surgeon at the surgery center. "Champion Cleaners' Hickory Valley Road location will be laundering the bras we collect, and donate them to Chattanooga Room in the Inn, a temporary home for women and children in need."
Southern Surgical Arts cosmetic surgery practice is also working with the Allergan Brilliant Distinctions program. Allergan Brilliant Distinctions gives credit to patients each time they receive a BOTOX® Cosmetic or JUVÉDERM® XC treatment from a participating physician. These credits can be redeemed at a later time for discounts on additional procedures or donated as cash contributions to Dress for Success, the Make a Wish Foundation or other charities. The points can now be donated to Southern Surgical Arts' charity.
"Bring the Breast Oasis and Allergan Brilliant Distinctions programs to the Chattanooga area couldn't be more exciting," says Dr. Carey Nease, a triple-board certified cosmetic surgeon at Southern Surgical Arts. "We truly believe that through these amazing charities we can make a positive impact in the lives of women."
To drop off bras for Breast Oasis, visit either of Southern Surgical Arts' locations located at One North Shore, 200 Manufacturers Rd - Suite 105, Chattanooga, TN or 120 Cornerstone Way, Calhoun GA. For more information on donating credits earned in the Allergan Brilliant Distinctions program, call Southern Surgical Arts at 423-266-3331.
Champion Cleaners is run by Tim & Kathy Miller and is located at 2301 Hickory Valley Road, Chattanooga, TN 37421.
