Get a natural and gradual result with Sculptra®Aesthetic
Sculptra®Aesthetic (injectable poly-L-lactic acid), a cosmetic facial injectable that works gradually, resulting in a more youthful looking appearance that can last up to two years is available at Southern Surgical Arts.
SculptraAesthetic is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a treatment indicated for the correction of shallow to deep nasolabial fold (smile lines) contour deficiencies and other facial wrinkles which are treated with the appropriate injection technique in healthy people.
"I am very excited to offer SculptraAesthetic to patients who want to achieve natural-looking results from a cosmetic injectable that is long-lasting, said Carey Nease, MD. “SculptraAesthetic works gradually to achieve results over time, so no one will notice you had work done.”
Wrinkles and folds associated with aging become apparent, primarily through the breakdown of collagen. SculptraAesthetic helps the body replace lost collagen to provide a more youthful looking appearance.
A treatment regimen of SculptraAesthetic, an average of three injection sessions over a few months, has been shown to help correct facial lines and wrinkles by replacing lost collagen over time to provide noticeable results that can last up to two years. SculptraAesthetic is made from poly-L-lactic acid, which has been safely used for the past 25 years in resorbable stitches. It is biocompatible (a material that does not harm the body) and biodegradable (able to be broken down by the body). Injectable poly-L-lactic acid has also been widely used in Europe for more than a decade for cosmetic treatment.
In a pivotal trial with SculptraAesthetic, swelling and tenderness were the most common adverse events reported (81%).
Results from a recent study conducted for the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) and Sanofi US showed that both injectable users and women considering a medical anti-aging treatment prefer gradual results that last two years (75 percent) as opposed to immediate results that last one year (25 percent).

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.

Hollow appearing eyes is a common problem in both men and women. As you age, the areas around your eyes become hollow, which makes you look tired and older. Facial rejuvenation procedures that address this problem can help you look younger and feel better about your appearance.
There are a few options to correct this problem. However, it is important to seek out a well-trained, experienced cosmetic surgeon who deals with problems like hollow eyes on a regular basis. Often times it is the loss of fat from the mid face and around the upper and lower eyelids and even the brow that contributes to the sunken or shallow appearance. Most hollowing eyes can be treated with synthetic fillers or even better, your body's own fat cells. Lower eyelid surgery (lower blepharoplasty) may also be needed if the problem is a deep tear trough with an overlying protruding lower eyelid fat pad.
The most simple solution is often using fillers to fill the tear trough area with a hyaluronic acid product such as Restylane or Juvederm®, which can soften or smooth out hollows. Although the results are not as natural as fat with these fillers, this is an option for patients not ready for surgery. The procedure is non-surgical and is injected along the tear trough region. Results typically last 6-9 months. There can be minor bruising that will usually resolve in less than a week.
Many surgeons, however, will often recommend eyelid surgery to try to correct hollowness under the eyes. "Most of the time, surgery alone does not solve the problem," said Dr. Nease. "Adding fat back to the face eliminates the problem in about 80% of the patients I see, which is less invasive than having eyelid surgery where skin and/or fat is removed. And the fat transfer procedure achieves a much more natural, youthful result."
In cases where there is significant excess eyelid skin or bulging fat pads, we recommend lower eyelid surgery. This is less commonly recommended than other treatments yet still has less than a week's downtime. The technique at Southern Surgical Arts includes minimal scarring as well, often done without any scarring or sutures.

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.
