The Surgical Artist's Blog

Hey everyone! New at our office is a name and logo change to better reflect who we are and what we do... Cosmetic Surgical Artistry. We are now called "Southern Surgical Arts at Magnolia Cosmetic Surgery Center." It is a mouthful, but we love it. Check out the new site to go with the name change...lots of new photos, all are actual patients (no stock photography). Our plans in the near future also include a new office, state-of-the-art surgery center with 2 operating rooms and MedSpa services in downtown Chattanooga, coming fall 2010. For now keep coming to see us in Dalton or Calhoun.

We now have Dysport, which is the new Botox competitor. So far lots of happy patients. But Botox is still great, so don't feel pressure to change if you are happy with Botox! Call us if you want to try some Dysport or if we can help you achieve your cosmetic goals! You will love our nursing staff and aestheticians.

Have a great start to the fall season!

I'm off to the annual American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery meeting tomorrow in Phoenix, AZ. On Wednesday I will be presenting my research on external ultrasound and it's application to abdominal liposuction. I found that is it somewhat helpful overall to the outcome of the procedure but there are some minor problems with it that made me decide to switch to using the YAG laser (Smartlipo), which works great and I have not had any problems since I started using it, over 150 cases done so far, including about 40 facelifts (Smartlift). The meeting is always a good time to catch up on the latest research and newest technology that will improve what I can do for my patients. The goal is always better results with less down time and smaller scars, at least that's how I approach cosmetic surgery, and my patients seem to agree. I'll likely come back to Georgia with some new device, laser or instrument that will be a great addition to my practice. I'll post an update after the meeting, and maybe attach some photos of my family at the Grand Canyon!
