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 liposuction. The 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. Our surgeons will consult with you to determine your aesthetic goals, and offer you the best surgical or non-surgical options to help you achieve those goals. They are meticulous in their attention to detail to ensure that you have minimal scarring and the fastest recovery time possible.

Southern Surgical Arts Offers Mommy Makeover Plus
Posted by Southern Surgical Arts on Apr 16, 2012 6:01:00 PM
This year treat yourself to a post-baby body that just may be better than the original with a Mommy Makeover Plus from Chattanooga's leading Cosmetic Surgery Center, Southern Surgical Arts. Specific to their practice, the complete Mommy Makeover Plus procedure is only found at Southern Surgical Arts.
During a Mommy Makeover Plus, Southern Surgical Arts' board-certified Dr. Nease and Dr. Deal provide a combination of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures aimed at restoring a women’s body to her pre-pregnancy days. The Mommy Makeover has traditionally included a tummy tuck, breast augmentation (with lift if desired) and SmartLipo laser body sculpting. Now, offered exclusively at Southern Surgical Arts, is the Mommy Makeover 'PLUS' vaginal rejuvenation for a more complete approach to regaining that youthful feeling.
Just over 4 million babies are born in the United States each year. Today, many women are electing to under-go a Mommy Makeover Plus at Southern Surgical Arts because of the lasting effects single, or multiple, pregnancies have left on their body. These undesirable after effects include the stretching of skin, increase of fat deposits, noticeable stretch marks, weakness of the abdominal wall and an overly relaxed vagina. Having even just a few of these conditions can cause women to feel insecure with the dread of a forever-lost youthful figure.
Commenting on her treatment at Southern Surgical Arts, one patient noted, "The staff at Southern Surgical Arts is well trained and very professional. They made me very comfortable throughout the whole Mommy Makeover Plus procedure and my recovery time was not as bad as I originally thought. I now have my confidence back and no one would ever guess that I am a mother of three!"
For more information on Southern Surgical Arts' exclusive Mommy Makeover Plus, please call 423-266-3331 or visit www.SouthernSugricalArts.com.

Most Popular Cosmetic Surgery Procedure in 2011
Posted by Southern Surgical Arts on Apr 5, 2012 6:02:00 PM
The most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in 2011 is...drum roll, please...
liposuction! According the statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgery, liposuction accounted for 325,332 cosmetic surgical procedures in 2011. That is more than the other top procedures:
breast augmentations,
breast lifts,
eyelid surgeries and
tummy tucks.
Dr. Deal and Dr. Nease are experts in the field of cosmetic surgery. Just last week, they presented to other surgeons from around the country on their liposuction techniques at the AACS conference in Beaver Creek, CO for Advanced Techniques in Liposuction Surgery & Body Contouring. Dr. Deal presented the Brazilian Butt Lift, which is a coined term for large volume fat transfer to the buttock. Liposuction is a large part of the procedure in which fat is taken and harvested. Dr. Nease presented on his technique for arm lifts, which usually require liposuction before removing the excess skin. Dr. Nease is also a frequent speaker and instructor for Cynosure, the company that makes the SmartLipo machine.
In June of 2012, Dr. Nease and Dr. Deal will again teach other surgeons on liposuction techniques at the AACS's New and Established Techniques in Breast and Body Contouring: A Hands-On Cadaver Workshop in St. Louis, MO. Dr. Nease will discuss the different types of liposuction and how they are different and Dr. Deal will discuss the popular topic, the Brazilian Butt Lift.
Dr. Deal and Dr. Nease are committed to staying up-to-date with the newest technology available for liposuction. There are many different techniques in the marketplace and ensuring we bring the safest and latest technology to our patients is our commitment to you.
