If you are concerned about facial wrinkles or excess, sagging skin, a face lift procedure may be an appropriate way to reverse the effects that sun exposure and aging have had on your skin. Both the traditional and "Band Aid" mini face lift are among the most popular plastic surgery procedures at the Atlanta, Georgia office of Dr. John LeRoy.
A face lift, or rhytidectomy, can be extremely effective in combating visible signs of aging in the face, neck, and jowls. Although it cannot reverse or stop the aging process, a face lift can greatly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and creases, especially those that form around the nose and mouth. The face lift procedure focuses specifically on the lower half of the face, targeting the cheeks, mouth, and jaw line to create a younger, smoother appearance. Face lift surgery at our Atlanta, Georgia office involves the removal of excess fat, the tightening of underlying muscles and membranes, and the tightening and removal of loose or sagging skin. For an in-depth look at the surgical process, see our full section on face lift surgery.
A face lift can be performed alone or in conjunction with other plastic surgery procedures at our Atlanta, Georgia office, including eyelid surgery and rhinoplasty.
For patients who want to achieve more youthful appearances without undergoing extensive plastic surgery, Dr. John LeRoy offers the “Band Aid” mini face lift at his Atlanta, Georgia practice. The "Band Aid" face lift has several advantages over the traditional face lift, including smaller incisions and a shorter recovery time. The mini face lift is usually sought by patients who simply desire a “touch-up” treatment in a specific area of concern. "Band Aid" mini face lift surgery involves smaller and fewer incisions to address such problem areas of the face as smile lines or excess fat in the neck, jaw, or jowls. Many patients prefer the “Band Aid” mini face lift because it can be performed under local anesthesia and requires a much shorter recovery period.
