Depending on the amount and depth of wrinkling around your eyes, Botox® or Dysport® injections may be performed to temporarily relax the muscles responsible for mild to moderate signs of eye-aging; however, it’s recommended you seek the advice of a board certified plastic surgeon during consultation to determine the most appropriate eye rejuvenation treatment for your individual concerns.

Unlike traditional facelift or brow lift surgery, Dr. LeRoy employs a few small incisions hidden within the patient’s hair line and around the contours of the ears to release the wrinkle sources.  Like his original “Band Aid Procedures,” the Band Aid Brow Lift significantly reduces recovery time for patients.  Most patients are able to resume their regular activities within ten days of their procedure.

Dr. LeRoy uses partial facelift procedures like the Band Aid Brow Lift, Band Aid Facelift, and lower facelift to more effectively address isolated cosmetic concerns in patients whose signs of aging are concentrated within a particular region of the face.  Dr. LeRoy explains the idea behind partial facelift surgery like the Band Aid Brow Lift, “Targeting the signs of aging is similar to the idea of working out kinks during a massage.  Everyone physically manifests their stressors differently resulting in some areas producing more wrinkles than others.  Partial, mini plastic surgery procedures allow me to address the source of the issue without treating unnecessary areas for a natural looking plastic surgery result.”

As we age, our complexions become duller as collagen production slows and the effects of time spent in the sun and gravity give us wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and other signs of aging. However, Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing gets rid of the attributes that make you look older than you are, to give you a more youthful and fresh-faced appearance.

Using DOT Laser technology, Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing gives patients tighter and smoother skin with minimal downtime. Whether you’re not quite ready for surgical rejuvenation or you’d like to enhance your look after plastic surgery, Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing can help refine your look and bring out your most beautiful self.

The DOT Laser emits small columns of laser energy into the skin, stimulating collagen production and encouraging the body’s natural healing process. The best part? Like Dr. John LeRoy’s other Band Aid procedures, Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing can be performed in-office with gentle numbing for patient comfort and optimal results.

Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on the trend), fads and trends change. Although you can go buy new shoes when yours are out of style, it’s not so easy to have revisionary plastic surgery as the trends change. When pursuing cosmetic surgery, it’s important to maintain a realistic perspective of what can be achieved through surgery. Finding the right plastic surgeon for the job is also very important.

With so many plastic surgery horror stories, it seems like a no-brainer to find a qualified plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, but somehow these types of stories remain in the news. That’s why I strive to teach patients, whether or not they are my patients, the importance of plastic surgery board certification. Aside from qualifications, it’s very important for a patient to feel comfortable with their plastic surgeon. Scheduling consultations with multiple surgeons will help a patient gain insight on what he or she is really looking for in a plastic surgeon.

Once you have a healthy perspective prior to surgery and have found the right plastic surgeon, you have to determine which procedure(s) you’d like to pursue. This seems like it would be your first plastic surgery decision, but something I’ve learned in my years as a surgeon is that many patients know they want and need something done, but they still need guidance about what procedures will produce their desired results.

Although I do not perform buttock augmentation or the Pippa butt lift, I do perform cosmetic surgery of the face, breasts, and body. I aim to teach my patients that trends change so that they won’t be disappointed when the next popular procedure comes along. I also aim to teach patients that sometimes less is more. Patients can often achieve the plastic surgery results they’re after with “mini” plastic surgery procedures or my original Band Aid procedures. I created the Band Aid Facelift in 1997 to provide patients who didn’t need a traditional facelift a less invasive option. I’ve extended my menu of Band Aid procedures to include: liposuction, tummy tuck, brow lift, blepharoplasty, and now laser skin resurfacing. All Band Aid procedures are performed in-office with gentle numbing.

When you hear about a new cosmetic surgery trend, think realistically about how soon that trend might change and the permanence of plastic surgery results. Once you’re ready for cosmetic surgery, do your research to avoid plastic surgery regrets. To learn more about the procedure I perform and my new Band Aid Laser treatment, visit my website. Also be sure to connect with me on Facebook and Twitter.

Who is a good candidate for a traditional facelift?

For those who aren’t as far along in the aging process, but would still like to revitalize small areas of concern may be candidates for a Band Aid Mini Facelift. This minimally invasive procedure helps to rejuvenate the appearance and reduce signs of aging for those who may not want to undergo the more extensive traditional facelift procedure.

How long is the recovery time after a facelift?
Patients who undergo a traditional facelift are generally able to return to work within two weeks of surgery. The swelling and bruising associated with the surgery may take up to three weeks to fade. Exercise and other strenuous activity should be avoided for at least two weeks, or until you are cleared by Dr. John LeRoy. The Band Aid Facelift requires much less recovery time because it is performed in-office using local anesthesia and requires smaller and fewer incisions.

After a facelift, Dr. John LeRoy often recommends patients put the final touches on their enhanced profiles with Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing. The laser resurfacing procedure uses DOT Laser Therapy to increase collagen production which can help reduce the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, and facial scarring during the facelift healing process.

What areas does a facelift help?
A full facelift can help reverse signs of aging in the neck, jowls, as well as the middle and upper regions of the face. The process involves removing excess skin and tissue, tightening the underlying muscles, and tightening the remaining skin. It can eliminate sagging jowls and deep creases.

I’ve heard of a brow lift. Is there a facelift procedure for just the bottom area of the face?
A brow lift or upper facelift rejuvenates the appearance of furrowed brows and wrinkles around the eyes. During this procedure, incisions are hidden strategically along the hairline and excess skin is trimmed and lifted to reduce the lines and creases that show age.

The lower facelift works to reduce the excess, hanging skin around the jaw or neck. Dr. LeRoy uses Band Aid Facelift techniques to tighten underlying muscles and sagging skin on the lower third of the face. The procedure helps mainly to reduce the sagging skin caused by the effects of age and gravity.

Through the end of the month, you can save $100 on a purchase of Dysport® or Restylane®. Try muscle-relaxing Dysport® to minimize wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. You can also fill in wrinkles and creases around the mouth, as well as areas of lost volume like the cheeks and lip with facial filling Restylane®. Even better, you can combine both products for a complete rejuvenation. For those patients whose skin imperfections are giving away their age, Dr. LeRoy is also offering Band Aid Laser treatment at a special introductory price.

Until October 31st, Dr. LeRoy will offer his newest service, Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing, for only $1250 on full face treatment (a $1000 savings). DOT laser technology (meaning dermal optical thermolyisis) emits controlled laser pulses to correct aged skin and surface imperfections. Targeting conditions like acne, scars, sun damage, lax skin and wrinkles, Band Aid Laser treatment is performed in-office using gentle numbing just like the rest of Dr. LeRoy’s Band Aid Procedures. However, the best part about this technology is that Dr. LeRoy is able to adjust the laser settings based on each patient’s specific concerns.

If you’ve had a facelift or any other facial plastic surgery procedure and would like to put the finishing touches on your results, or if you’re just interested in enhancing your facial appearance and minimizing wrinkles, schedule an appointment today to take advantage of these limited time discounts.
