For a limited time patients can experience the rejuvenating effects that the procedures at Southern Surgical Arts can provide, at a price that will make you smile.

It’s time to put your best face forward at Southern Surgical Arts – and just in time for summer. During the month of July, Southern Surgical Arts is offering a one-time facial makeover that includes wrinkle reduction, volumizing, and skin brightening – at a special price you can’t resist.

The procedures are simple, noninvasive and can be done in the office in less than 45 minutes. Each of them alone helps you look younger, but the combination of all three will have your face looking its natural best, even in direct light.

The offer includes Botox at the lowest price Southern Surgical Arts has ever offered at $10.99/unit. Botox is the industry leader in eliminating fine lines and wrinkles in the forehead, crow’s feet and “eleven” lines between the eyes. You can purchase a syringe of Radiesse, which corrects moderate to severe facial wrinkles by volumizing those areas and get Belotero for $200 OFF; Belotero is one of the newest fillers on the market and can help correct vertical lip lines.

Patients can also target sunspots on your face, arms, décolleté, hands and more with an IPL photofacial treatment. In the month of July, you will enjoy 25% off the regular price of the treatment so that you can obtain a more even-toned complexion.

Aging can take a toll on the skin, as well as other factors. The process of aging also can rob skin of its fullness, brightness, shine and vitality. Cosmetic procedures like the ones offered in July’s special offer at Southern Surgical Arts are safe, quick and can be done over your lunch hour.

Southern Surgical Arts features the expertise of Dr. Chad Deal, a double board- certified cosmetic surgeon, and Dr. Carey Nease, a triple board-certified cosmetic and facial plastic surgeon. Over the last six years, the two surgeons have performed nearly 10,000 cosmetic surgery procedures.

“This is the perfect time of year to care for, protect and revitalize the skin of your face,” says Tammy Capel, an aesthetician at Southern Surgical Arts, “With the procedures offered in our July specials, we are able to meet the needs of our patients who want a visible difference in the look and feel of their skin and overall appearance.”

The rise in minimally invasive cosmetic treatments are up to 13.1 millions treatments in 2012. It is important to understand what these treatments are, how they are carried out, and who provides the best care and service in delivering the product and desired result. For example, Botox, is a trade name for a botulinum toxin, a neurotoxic protein. Its most famous use is in cosmetic procedures for smoothing out lines on the forehead, crows feet on the side of the eyes, or for severe frown lines. Botox is administered via an injection into the desired area, and it only takes a matter of minutes to perform the procedure. Botox works by relaxing the muscles within these areas and blocks nerve impulses. It takes roughly four days before you notice cosmetic improvement, however, the effects can last up to six months.

Facial Rejuvenation is becoming more popular within the United States, including the younger population. With laser technology and affordable injectable treatments, patients in their 20s, 30s and 40s are looking and feeling five to 10 years younger. At Southern Surgical Arts, we offer the latest technology and techniques to help achieve a patient's facial rejuvenation goals.

There are many different options for facial rejuvenation. Dr. Deal and Dr. Nease at Southern Surgical Arts tailor each treatment to the patient's goals. One example is the Liquid Face Lift that can includes several injectables. It often includes Botox or Dysport paired with fillers such as Restylane, Radiesse, Sculptra, Perlane, and Juvederm. "When all you have is a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail," said Dr. Deal. "With the plethora of injectables and fillers we offer our patients more than just one vendor's products, and we make sure the patient has a treatment plan that is customized for their needs." The ideal candidate is a woman or man ranging from his or her 20s to 50s.

The Laser Face Lift is for the patient that is not yet ready for a Cosmetic Face Lift; but desires an overall rejuvenated look. It often includes treatment with one of our fractionated lasers, the Sciton Profractional or the Affirm CO2, along with SmartLipo, injectables and fillers. The ideal candidate is usually in his or her 40s or early 50s. Patients from Chattanooga and North Georgia don't often realize that Dr. Nease pioneered the Laser Facelift. In fact, he has taught physicians from around the world how to perform the 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.
