Atlanta Magazine Features Minimally-Invasive Facial Procedures

In over 20 years as a double board-certified plastic surgeon, I’ve noticed that most potential patients have a similar reaction to their initial consultation – excitement about the results they’re envisioning, nervousness about the process ahead, and many of the same questions running through their minds: “Will I look natural?” “Will my recovery be lengthy and difficult?” “What will my surgery cost?” “How much scarring will I have?”

For a number of patients, all of these concerns can be answered by my signature Band Aid plastic surgeries. Since developing the Band Aid Facelift nearly 20 years ago, I’ve continued to expand my line of procedures to provide a wider range of patients with an improved balance between the result they want and the process needed to achieve it. For the right patients, in-office Band Aid facial cosmetic surgery can attain natural-looking results with minimal scarring, less downtime, and less expense because it requires only gentle numbing.

To help you determine whether there’s a Band Aid facial procedure that fits your needs, here’s a quick guide:

• Band Aid Facelift – Firms aging skin, and can be focused on the cheeks, lower face, jowls, or neck area
• Band Aid Eyelid Surgery (Band Aid Blepharoplasty) – Upper eyelid surgery rejuvenates sagging skin which gives the eyes a “hooded” appearance, while lower eyelid surgery removes fat deposits and tightens skin (if necessary) below the eyes for a smooth appearance under the eyes
• Band Aid Brow Lift – Lifts and tightens aging facial skin like the Band Aid Facelift, but targets the forehead area above and around the brow line
• Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing – Uses a specialized laser to send precise beams of light in a pattern of tiny dots into the treated skin, which reduces age spots, wrinkles, and acne scars by helping the body build more collagen, the protein that gives young skin its elasticity
• Band Aid Skin Tightening – Uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production and non-surgically restore youthful firmness to the skin

One of the most crucial steps toward getting the best possible plastic surgery results is identifying the ideal procedure for your needs and making sure your expectations match. While researching and gathering information (like what you’ve read in this blog) is a great start, it’s important to also have the guidance of an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon.
