How Much Will My Mini Facelift Cost?

, , , , ,

faceliftFor so many of my patients, a mini facelift is an important change in their lives. It’s an opportunity to restore their confidence and a way to leave daily self-consciousness behind. However, as meaningful as your mini facelift may be, everyone needs to take their budget into account. How much can you expect your mini facelift to cost?

As a double board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in mini facelifts, particularly my Band Aid Mini Facelift, I’m able to guide each patient through this part of the planning process. It’s important to note, though, that there are many factors that will affect your mini facelift cost.

Factors That Affect the Cost of Your Mini Facelift

While cost isn’t the only component of your mini facelift to think about and plan for, it is a part you need to consider. There are several factors that will impact your final cost.

The Type of Mini Facelift You Choose

It’s important to note that mini facelifts aren’t performed the same way by every surgeon. Each plastic surgeon performs a minimally invasive facelift in their own way, and as a result, mini facelifts can vary in price from one surgeon to another.

In my case, I also offer multiple types of mini facelifts. My Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift, for example, is an even less invasive option than my Band Aid Mini Facelift. As a result, the Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift has a lower cost than my Band Aid Mini Facelift because the Band Aid Mini Facelift repairs signs of aging more extensively.

Your Facelift Surgeon

As you consider a mini facelift, you’ll find that there are many plastic surgeons who offer this procedure, and each of those plastic surgeons has a different cost for their mini facelift. It’s important to note that there are reasons some surgeons cost more than others, though. Be sure to choose your plastic surgeon based on experience, results, and specialization, not cost alone.

Additional Surgeries

A mini facelift can be a very effective way to rejuvenate your appearance. In many cases, though, you may have aged in other areas that a mini facelift doesn’t treat. This is why many of my patients choose to combine multiple facial rejuvenation surgeries into one procedure. For example, an especially popular combination is my Band Aid Mini Facelift with my Band Aid Eyelid Surgery to treat sagging facial skin as well as aging around the eyes.

Understandably, combining multiple surgeries will cost more than having one surgery alone. However, it’s a common option because it allows you to enjoy two types of revitalization with one procedure and one recovery period.

Your Surgical Site

Mini facelifts are designed to be minimally invasive versions of traditional facelifts. Some plastic surgeons, though, still perform these procedures using general anesthesia in a hospital operating room. This will cost more overall than a surgery like my Band Aid Mini Facelift which I perform in-office using gentle numbing instead. As an added bonus, using gentle numbing instead of general anesthesia will allow you to recover from your mini facelift in about half the time.

Ultimately, every mini facelift (and every plastic surgery, for that matter) is based on your specific needs and aesthetic goals.

Do I Need a Traditional Facelift or a Band Aid Mini Facelift?

, , , ,

Year after year, facelifts rank as one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the United States. However, since aging affects us all differently, it makes sense that a traditional facelift is not always the best fit for everyone. That’s why I developed my Band Aid Mini Facelift procedure to serve as a personalized solution for those who want to combat aging, but do not necessarily need an intensive facelift surgery.

Compared to a traditional facelift, the Band Aid Mini Facelift is performed in-office with gentle numbing, has a lower cost, a quicker recovery time and a more individualized approach. For every procedure I perform, the most important thing is that the procedure fits the patient, not the other way around. For example, if you have over six inches of excess skin, a Band Aid Mini Facelift would not be the best solution for you. On the other hand, if you are on the early end of aging or have already had a prior facelift procedure years ago, you would be a good potential candidate for this procedure.

I’ve noticed that most of my patients do not need an enormous amount of change to achieve their desired results. Because of the Band Aid Mini Facelift’s less invasive nature, patients look like a younger version of themselves post-procedure. When deciding between the two procedures, asking yourself what type of change you are looking for is a great way to narrow down the best choice for you. Ultimately, scheduling a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to decide what procedure is right for you.

How Was the Band Aid Mini Facelift Developed?

, , , , ,

With over 6,000+ successful procedures performed, my signature Band Aid Mini Facelift has been positively transforming the lives of my patients since 1997.

I, Dr. John LeRoy, first came up with the idea for the procedure while I was completing my fellowship with the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital in New York City. While being mentored by the world’s leading plastic surgeons, I began to focus and hone in on cosmetic surgery. After watching and learning from the variety of talented surgeons, I came up with the idea to incorporate the best parts of their surgeries into one simple procedure.

While I continued to develop and think about the idea, I didn’t put it into practice until a patient asked me if I could do a procedure for them in-office with gentle numbing. That moment was when preparation met opportunity. Both the patient and I were incredibly happy with the outcome of the procedure. I wasn’t surprised by the results, but I was surprised that someone had asked me to do this particular procedure that I had been thinking about for so long.

Check out the video to learn more about how I developed my line of signature Band Aid procedures.

Flash forward to today and my Band Aid Mini Facelift procedure is still immensely popular with my patients. Because the procedure can be done in-office with gentle numbing and carries a reasonably quick recovery time, its adoration comes as no surprise.

How Much Younger Will I Look After My Band Aid Mini Facelift?

, , , ,

The main purpose of my signature Band Aid Mini Facelift is to minimize the appearance of aging and to give the face a more youthful look. Because of this, one of the most frequent questions I hear from patients is just how much younger should they expect to look. My short answer is that they will look between eight to ten years younger, however, my long answer is a bit more detailed.

It’s important to note that the Band Aid Mini Facelift is a cosmetic procedure and not a reconstructive, plastic surgery. Because of this, patients should expect that the signs of aging will be reduced, but the overall way that the patient looks will stay the same. In other words, you should expect to look like a younger version of yourself.

Check out the video below to learn in more detail about how much younger the Band Aid Mini Facelift can help you look.

Why Facial Fillers and Facelifts Complement Each Other

, , , ,

When it comes to combating facial aging, there are a multitude of treatments that patients consider when deciding what procedure is best for them. Two of the most common treatments I perform for facial aging are facelifts and injectable facial fillers. Most patients believe that they have to pick one or the other, but I highly recommend both of these procedures in conjunction to achieve the most comprehensive results.

While injectable facial fillers and facelifts seem like two very different procedures, I prefer to treat them as complementary to each other. A facelift is a surgical, cosmetic procedure that combats the signs of aging by tightening the skin around the neck and face and giving the facial tissue a more youthful contour. Non-surgical, injectable facial fillers such as Restylane®, work to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by filling in the wrinkles and plumping your skin.

In the video below, I explain exactly how these two treatments work together and what my recommendations are for a more youthful appearance.

When it comes to any cosmetic procedure, figuring out the best option for you is essential in achieving your desired results. My medical team and I take great pride in providing our patients with high-quality care and services.
