What are your non-invasive options for removing stubborn body fat?

Fall is finally here! We hope you had a good summer, with all the water sports, beach time, camping, theme parks, staycations, and outdoor activities your heart desired. We certainly enjoyed all the time spent with friends and family under the summer sun! Now we’re looking forward to fall for completely different reasons.

The goal of any cosmetic procedure is to look more beautiful, more youthful, more rejuvenated—with the most natural, realistic results possible. Thanks to technological advances and innovative techniques, the “done” look is a thing of the past. If you’d like to make the most of what your mama gave you, there are several affordable things you can try to enhance your natural beauty…from the inside out!

Q: I have a lower back tattoo that I got in my 20s I really regret it. Am I stuck with it? 

At Southern Surgical Arts, we offer a wide variety of treatments and procedures, both surgical and non-surgical. From Botox to Brazilian Butt Lifts and everything in between, we have a treatment or procedure to address just about every issue you might like to improve.

In the full-service medspa for Southern Surgical Arts, we frequently see patients who take impeccable care of their skin but who are still troubled by scars left behind from the acne breakouts of their youth. These scars, often pigmented and rough in texture, are hard to disguise with makeup and provide a constant reminder that their skin is not as smooth as they would like. Fortunately, we are able to offer several treatment options to help these patients love the skin they’re in!

Depending on your skin type and the climate where you live, summer skin care can be challenging. High humidity areas may leave some with a healthy glow, while others fight constant breakouts. Drier climates can wreak havoc on those whose skin is already dry. And let’s not forget the constant application of sunscreen! Even the best formulas, designed to reduce the occurrence of pimples, can clog pores in both children and adults. However, not wearing sunscreen is NOT an option. And these are just a few of the ways in which summer skin care can get tricky!

At Southern Surgical Arts, we know that beautiful skin is not just a by-product of peels, scrubs, and laser resurfacing. There is a lot you can do, every day, to ensure your skin looks healthy and fresh—starting with the food you eat. After all, beauty starts from within, and that makes good nutrition essential to anyone who wants youthful, fresh, and radiant-looking skin, as well as more energy and better health overall. Here are some of the healthy-eating routines of our award-winning cosmetic surgeons, Dr. Carey Nease, Dr. Chad Deal, and Dr. Vincent Gardner.

One of the greatest things about today’s cosmetic procedures is that there truly is something for everyone…and every skin tone, condition, age, and budget. While some may think of cosmetic and spa procedures as being outside their price range, the truth is you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to give yourself a pampering “pick-me-up” that can leave you feeling more beautiful, confident, and refreshed.
