Answering Your Questions About the Band Aid Mini Facelift
Facelift surgery is as tried and true as plastic surgery procedures come. But that doesn’t mean the facelift of decades ago hasn’t experienced some interesting and beneficial changes. Today, facelift patients have more options than ever before including less invasive and lower cost alternatives like my signature Band Aid Mini Facelift. Today I am happy to answer a few commonly asked questions about this procedure and the fantastic benefits that it can provide my patients.
What Kind of Anesthesia is Used During a Band Aid Mini Facelift?
One of the things that my patients are so relieved about in regards to this procedure is that it is performed in-office using a gentle numbing solution. That means that general anesthesia will not be required. And despite this, the procedure has little to no discomfort and post-surgery soreness and swelling is fairly minimal following a Band Aid Mini Facelift.
What Other Procedures Can Be Combined With a Band Aid Mini Facelift?
Like traditional facelift surgery, the Band Aid Mini Facelift is often combined with other cosmetic procedures to help my patients achieve more comprehensive aesthetic results. Commonly paired procedures include Band Aid Eyelid Surgery or cosmetic facial injections that can help rejuvenate the upper portion of the face.
Does Undergoing a Band Aid Mini Facelift Mean No Recovery Time?
No. The concept of plastic surgery without any downtime to recover is impossible. However, due to its smaller incisions and less invasive nature, the recovery period following a Band Aid Mini Facelift is shorter and easier than that of the traditional version of the procedure. We will discuss the specifics of the recovery period in more detail during the pre-surgery consultation appointment.
With so many great options available, I understand that it can be difficult for some patients to determine the best cosmetic surgery plan for their needs. This is why I prioritize patient education and thorough communication during consultation appointments to ensure that all of my patients make the best and most informed decision possible.
