Dr. S. Alexander Earle of Miami's Pure Plastic Surgery Named President of the World Association of Gluteal Surgeons (WAGS)

For some patients, plastic surgery is a way to improve self-confidence. However, recent news stories — including that of a woman who died after having a Brazilian butt lift performed by an improperly licensed surgeon — have shown the dangers of unsafe cosmetic procedures. Fortunately, surgeons like Dr. Alexander Earle of Miami-based Pure Plastic Surgery are dedicated to offering safe, personalized procedures.

Plastic surgery, while often enhancing self-esteem and appearance, comes with inherent safety concerns. We reached out to three leading plastic surgeons at Pure Plastic Surgery—Dr. Garrett Wegerif, Dr. Natalia Vidal, and Dr. S. Alexander Earle—to provide insights into these concerns and how patients can ensure they are in safe hands.

Summertime is a fabulous season for plastic and cosmetic surgery! We find that some patients prefer to have their surgery in the fall and winter to reduce the aftercare blues associated with fajas and other compression apparel that can be uncomfortable in places with extreme heat. However, in the summer when the sun is shining, there isn’t snow on the ground, and vitamin D is prevalent, many prefer this time of year to have their surgeries and we definitely understand the sentiment. If you’re worried about having FOMO on the fun summer festivities, then here are three procedures perfect for the summer due to their amazing results and shorter period for recovery.

South Beach, Miami is a beautiful city known for its beautiful beaches and, of course beautiful women. It’s understandable that when we were looking for a name for our famous signature Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, South Beach BL (SoBeBL) was the obvious choice.A PURE SoBeBL is for those that want a slimmer buttocks and hips than seen with a traditional BBL. We call it an enhanced natural aesthetic because we use the unique natural body shape and proportions of each patient as a guide to create more volume and projection to the buttocks so that it looks youthful, but not overdone. The buttocks is shaped in our signature upside-down heart, which creates a smaller waistline. The SoBeBL procedure is perfect for women who don’t have loads of fat, but still want to create a more youthful physical appearance.The SoBeBL harvests fat from a patient’s body, including the lower back, hips, thighs, abdomen and flanks with liposuction. The fat is then purified and injected into the buttocks using a cannula and ultrasound technology to reshape, increase volume and create a fuller figured bottom.

There are several published studies that discuss the positive psychological effects plastic and cosmetic surgery can have on patients, specifically the increase in positive body image and self-esteem and a decrease in symptoms of anxiety and depression. It’s true that not every participant felt the positive effects of plastic surgery, disappointment was mostly attributed to unrealistic expectations and body dysmorphia. The consensus is there is a strong correlation to improved mental health, well- being and self-image for most who have undergone plastic surgery procedures.

Miami is a city renowned for beaches, art, luxury and beauty. In recent years it has been named one of the plastic surgery capitals of the world and a beacon of continuous innovation for trends in the industry. PURE Plastic Surgery is a Miami-based plastic surgery practice known for setting the standards for beautiful, timeless and safe cosmetic surgery. In 2022, we unveiled the South Beach Butt Lift (SoBeBL), our signature Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure for our patients with lower levels of fat and body mass index (BMI). This year we are introducing the PURE Miami Makeover – a combination of a breast procedure (breast lift or augmentation) with either Lipo 180 or Lipo 360. High definition liposculpture can be added as well.
