Your Guide to Looking Younger

When we’re young, aging isn’t even on our radar, but many of us reach a point when we begin to notice a difference in our appearance and to worry that we’re starting to look “old,” even though we feel like we’re in the prime of life. Whether you hit this point in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond, my exclusive Band Aid procedures, featured in Atlanta Magazine, may be the ideal way to help you revitalize your look with minimal downtime and gentle numbing.

If you have bags under your eyes…

…your best bet may be Band Aid Lower Lid Blepharoplasty (also known as a Band Aid lower eyelid lift). “Bags under the eyes” are typically the result of fat deposits which become more pronounced with age because these fat deposits are migrating farther forward while the skin above them is also becoming thinner and more lax. Depending on your specific needs, these fat deposits will be minimized and excess skin on your lower eyelid may be removed, giving you a more rested look.

If you have wrinkles on your forehead…

…a Band Aid Brow Lift may be the right choice. Focusing specifically on your brow area and above, this minimally invasive surgery can remove lax skin and smooth forehead creases for a younger and more relaxed and pleasant appearance.

If you have wrinkles or lax skin on your cheeks or jawline…

…you may be a candidate for a Band Aid Facelift. As the first Band Aid plastic surgery I developed, this specialized procedure has been among my most popular for nearly 20 years. Performed in-office with only local anesthesia and gentle numbing, the Band Aid Facelift is tailored to your needs and can address the specific areas of the face which need the most attention.

If your eyelids have a “hooded” appearance…

…it may be time for Band Aid Upper Lid Blepharoplasty. Hooded eyes typically occur when your skin has lost firmness due to aging, so sagging skin has begun to drape over your upper eyelids. Band Aid eyelid surgery can remove this excess skin to give you a more pleasant and youthful look.

If you have age spots, acne scars, or other surface imperfections…

…consider Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing. As opposed to the Band Aid procedures above, Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing is entirely non-surgical, using tiny columns of laser light to help your skin both eliminate or minimize age spots and scars as well as produce more collagen, which gives your skin youthful elasticity and radiance. As a result, you’ll see a significant improvement in wrinkles and other signs of aging, despite the little or no downtime the procedure requires.

If you have subtle skin laxity throughout the face…

…you might be a candidate for Band Aid Skin Tightening. As another non-surgical (and, in fact, entirely non-invasive) procedure, this treatment sends targeted warmth to the deeper layers of your skin, giving your collagen a boost and resulting in younger-looking skin which can continue to become firmer for months after your downtime-free sessions.

While Band Aid procedures are minimally invasive enough to make cosmetic improvements more accessible to patients of all ages and genders, there’s also another popular option for those who are looking for an even quicker method: cosmetic facial injections. Whether your goal is to reduce crow’s feet or forehead lines with Botox® or Dysport®, or to fill in wrinkles around your mouth like smile lines and marionette lines with facial fillers (like Restylane®, Juvéderm®, or Radiesse), the treatments are more temporary than the Band Aid procedures above, but they can be completed in just minutes, so they can be ideal for patients with busy schedules who are just looking for subtle facial rejuvenation. Ultimately, the best choice for most patients is a combination of Band Aid plastic surgery and non-surgical treatments to refine and maintain their results.
