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."

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.

Cosmetic Surgery Center Teams with Charities to Give Back to Community

Posted by Southern Surgical Arts on Jun 4, 2012 5:59:00 PM
Southern Surgical Arts, Chattanooga's leading cosmetic surgery center, is pleased to announce their recent alignment with the Breast Oasis and Allergan Brilliant Distinction charities. Through their philanthropic efforts, Southern Surgical Arts will give back to women in the local community.

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.
