Dr. LeRoy’s Unique Band Aid Plastic Surgery Procedures Featured in Atlanta Magazine
The field of plastic surgery is constantly changing, not only because new technology continues to arise, but also because surgeons and researchers are always looking for ways to better meet patients’ needs. As part of this effort, Atlanta plastic surgeon Dr. John L. LeRoy developed his exclusive line of Band Aid plastic surgery procedures. But, many patients ask, what makes Band Aid procedures different from typical plastic surgery?
A Different Approach
Many cosmetic surgeries (like the facelift, eyelid surgery, and brow lift) focus primarily on helping patients look younger. In this case, procedures like the Band Aid Facelift are based on a different philosophy than the traditional facelift. Many facelift patients have observed their appearance aging as the years have gone by, and have eventually reached a point when they feel that surgery is “worth it” to minimize their wrinkles and skin laxity. The ideal Band Aid Facelift patient, on the other hand, is typically seeing the earlier signs of aging and is seeking a strategy of addressing facial aging as it arises. Rather than feeling unhappy with their appearance until they’re ready for a more comprehensive procedure, these patients often pair incremental Band Aid Facelifts with non-surgical procedures (like Band Aid Skin Tightening) every few years to address aging as it occurs, so they look more youthful and natural for years to come.
Balancing the Results with the Means
Facial rejuvenation procedures are not the only plastic surgeries that can be performed with minimally invasive techniques. With these surgeries, the goal is to improve the balance between the results that will be achieved and the commitment from the patient required to achieve the results. For example, we’ll compare the tummy tuck and the Band Aid Tummy Tuck. Both procedures are designed to improve the appearance of lax skin and, in some cases, excess fat or stretched muscles in the abdomen. For a patient who only has a smaller amount of excess skin to be removed, the general anesthesia and comprehensive procedure required with a traditional tummy tuck aren’t necessary. By focusing only on the areas that need improvement, Dr. LeRoy can use gentle numbing and limited incisions to give a Band Aid Tummy Tuck patient the slimmer, more youthful midsection they’re looking for, all with minimal downtime and cost.
