The discipline of cosmetic surgery is exclusively devoted to maintaining, restoring, or enhancing a person’s normal appearance. With these goals in mind, it’s crucial that your cosmetic surgeons are capable of assessing your body’s aesthetics and characteristics in order to produce the most natural-looking results possible. At Southern Surgical Arts in Chattanooga, breast augmentation and lifts and other cosmetic breast surgeries are done with artistry and technique to create a fuller, natural and youthful appearing breast.
Implementing laser technology in cosmetic breast surgery
Using up-to-date surgical techniques in breast lifting procedures, the Chattanooga surgeons are able to create more lift and natural results . As one of the few surgeons offering the cutting-edge Staple Shape technique in the United States, Dr. Carey Nease and Dr. Chad Deal actively instruct other surgeons across the country in the use of this breast lifting procedure.
There are many reasons for seeking a surgeon in Chattanooga for a breast lift. A patient may feel that their breasts are droopy to the extent that they’re self-conscious.
The doctors at Southern Surgical Arts also make use of laser technology for a wide range of procedures; from addressing wrinkles, skin pigmentation, hair removal, acne scars, or facial lifts, the Chattanooga cosmetic surgeons have a handful of ways to make their patients feel and look years younger. Laser technology can be used to supplement traditional face lift techniques or used as an incision-free alternative. Sometimes laser face lifts are a better choice than surgery, and can help patients look 5 to 10 years younger with no scars and a short recovery time.
As a part of the practice’s “Cosmetic Facelift” done with fat transfer and excess skin removal, lasers can make patients look 15 to 20 years younger and achieve a natural look that traditional plastic face lifts cannot. Laser technology has given patients options in both minimally-invasive treatments and advanced face lifts with natural and long lasting results.
Extensive and focused training in the field
There is a difference between plastic and reconstructive surgeons and cosmetic surgeons. Board-certified cosmetic surgeons must do five times as many cosmetic surgeries than plastic surgeons; in their plastic surgery residencies or fellowships, they’re only required to perform 55 cosmetic surgeries.
According to survey data from a plastic and reconstructive surgery journal, more than 36 percent of graduating plastic surgeons felt they needed additional cosmetic surgery training. In contrast, a cosmetic surgeon will typically perform more than 700 procedures during their fellowship training.
