What Type of Facelift Surgery is Right For Me?

So, you’ve decided that you want to undergo facelift surgery. That’s a good start, but for prospective facelift patients, this is only the beginning of a series of critically important decisions that will need to be made in order to ensure the best-possible facelift experience and results. Many people do not know that there are different facelift methods that each provide their own unique benefits, depending on the patients. Today, I thought it would be helpful to discuss traditional facelift surgery, as well as my signature Band Aid Mini Facelift, to help patients who are curious gain a better understanding of which technique might be best for them.

Facelift surgery is performed to help patients undo common effects of aging, as well as years of sun exposure that can lead to loose, sagging skin in the face and neck areas. During the procedure, I am able to remove excess skin (and fat as needed) and tighten the remaining tissue in the area. The result is a lifted, natural-looking appearance without any previous wrinkles and droopiness.

My Band Aid Mini Facelift provides people interested in facelift surgery with a proven, less invasive alternative. What makes this version of the facelift unique is my signature technique performed in my office, using gentle numbing instead of general anesthesia, which can also help patients save on potential hospital fees. With a shorter post-surgery recovery period, the Band Aid Mini Facelift uses a smaller incision to provide a more modest (but still outstanding) lifting effect to the lower portion of the face.

In the video below, I discuss some of the different types of facelift surgeries that I perform, including the Band Aid Mini Facelift and the Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift:
