Atlanta Magazine Features Band Aid Procedures for the Full Face

, , , , , , ,

We all have our “problem areas” when it comes to aging—parts of our appearance that seem to have aged faster than everything else and make us feel self-conscious. Part of the reason that I created my line of minimally-invasive Band Aid procedures, is so that each patient could focus on their own problem areas without the downtime of a more comprehensive procedure than they need. The diagram below illustrates which procedures may be best suited to your specific rejuvenation needs.

Band Aid Eyelid Surgery, also called Band Aid Blepharoplasty, can either remove sagging skin that causes the eyelids to have a hooded appearance, or it can smooth puffy under-eye bags. The procedure can also combine both upper and lower eyelid surgery for more comprehensive improvement.

A Band Aid Facelift can restore youth to different areas of the face depending on where the incision is made—under the chin, above the ears, or at the nape of the neck.

Unlike most other Band Aid procedures, Band Aid Skin Tightening is entirely non-surgical. The Protégé skin tightening system uses precisely controlled heat energy to stimulate collagen production in the skin, resulting in progressive skin firming and wrinkle reduction.

The basis of all our innovative Band Aid procedures is customization. Every patient is unique, and deserves a procedure that will allow them to become their most confident and beautiful selves without the risks and downtime of a surgery that’s more extensive than they need.

Band Aid Procedures Featured in Atlanta Magazine

Throughout my years as a plastic surgeon, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know my patients and helping them achieve their aesthetic goals. My relationship with my patients also helped me to identify a need that wasn’t always being met: the need for minimally-invasive versions of traditional plastic surgery procedures. As a result, I developed my line of Band Aid procedures.

plastic surgeon atlantaBand Aid procedures, like the Band Aid Facelift and Band Aid Blepharoplasty, are essentially “mini” versions of their more comprehensive counterparts, because they use minimally-invasive techniques and can be performed in-office with gentle numbing. For instance, my Band Aid Tummy Tuck targets a smaller area of the abdomen that needs attention, so rather than removing fat and skin across the entire tummy, it requires a much smaller incision than a traditional tummy tuck. Each of these Band Aid procedures can be performed in-office using gentle numbing.

Of all the procedures that I offer, I am best known for my Band Aid procedures. For many of my patients, Band Aid plastic surgery not only gives them safer and more natural-looking results, but in fact allows them to access plastic surgery when they otherwise wouldn’t be able to. Depending on the surgery itself and the patient’s unique needs and goals, some plastic surgery procedures can be too much of a commitment for a patient. For example, a mother with three small children may be able to improve her self-confidence with liposuction to remove a small amount of fat on her hips, but cannot dedicate the downtime she needs in order to fully recover. In her case, Band Aid Liposuction can give her a more desirable contour while being able to fit more easily into her life.

Every day, my goal is to help my patients be their most beautiful and confident selves, and being experienced in a wide variety of procedures helps me to provide each patient with the best possible care.

Perks of Band Aid Plastic Surgery Procedures

, , , ,

In the most recent issue of Atlanta Magazine, double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. John LeRoy was featured with his innovative line of Band Aid Procedures. Band Aid plastic surgery procedures are essentially minimally-invasive versions of traditional, more comprehensive cosmetic procedures (like facelifts and body contouring). These procedures have the very clear advantage of minimizing recovery time, which makes them much easier to fit into patients’ busy lives. However, most patients are even more thrilled when they realize the many other perks that Band Aid procedures offer:

band aid plastic surgery atlantaBand Aid procedures can provide continuous maintenance of a youthful appearance. For many patients, the best way to achieve their ideal results is to perform band aid procedures as the need arises. While plastic surgery can turn back the proverbial clock and take years off a patient’s appearance, it cannot stop the aging process. By having less-invasive procedures (such as a Band Aid Facelift) to restore their youth whenever it becomes necessary, patients can continuously have an appearance that reflects how energetic they truly feel.

Band Aid procedures are brief. The length of time involved in a surgery is important information for the patient to know. Not only are briefer procedures more convenient, because they don’t require spending the entire day in a surgical facility (Band Aid procedures are performed in-office), but they also have a lower risk for complications.

The results of a Band Aid procedure can be discreet. One feature that many patients enjoy most about procedures likes Band Aid Blepharoplasty is that they achieve natural-looking results. Because these surgeries have a less dramatic effect on the patient’s appearance, it is often not obvious that the patient has had a cosmetic procedure. In fact, many of our patients hear their friends and family commenting, “I don’t know what you did different, but you look great!” This gives the patient the freedom to decide whether to tell others about their procedure, or whether to keep it to themselves.

Band Aid procedures typically result in less scarring. One of the ways that procedures like the Band Aid Tummy Tuck are less invasive is by utilizing smaller incisions. While diligent efforts are made to minimize visible scarring in any plastic surgery, Band Aid procedures further lower the appearance of scars because there is less tissue affected by the incision. This allows the results to look even more natural and discreet.

Band Aid procedures are only performed by Dr. John LeRoy. As the pioneer of the minimally-invasive Band Aid cosmetic procedures, only Dr. LeRoy performs these specialized surgeries. This means that patients can truly know that their surgeon is the foremost expert on the procedure.

 

With their numerous advantages and perks, Band Aid procedures are a great option that allow many patients to have an appearance that makes them confident without taking extensive time away from their day-to-day activities. However, every patient is different, and some patients find that their goals and needs are better aligned with the more comprehensive plastic surgeries that Dr. LeRoy offers . Scheduling a consultation with Dr. LeRoy will let you take the first step toward determining the best rejuvenation option for you.

Eyelid Surgery: Tired of Looking Tired?

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Eyelid SurgeryLooking at someone’s eyes can usually give you an accurate prediction of their age, unless of course you’re looking into the eyes of one of my blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) patients. With age, the eyelids begin to wrinkle and droop: producing a tired, matured appearance.  Blepharoplasty can enhance the eyes by removing the excess skin and tissue contributing to an aged look.

During a traditional blepharoplasty procedure, I remove the excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids depending on the patient’s needs. Some patients have a hooded appearance due to sagging upper eyelids that warrants an upper lid blepharoplasty. Other patients only need a lower lid blepharoplasty to get rid of fat pockets and wrinkles on their lower eyelids, but when necessary I perform a dual procedure to remedy both effects.

It sounds like there are quite a few options for eyelid rejuvenation already, doesn’t it? However, I also perform Band Aid Blepharoplasty. Just like the rest of my Band Aid procedures (Band Aid Liposuction, Band Aid Tummy Tuck, Band Aid Brow Lift, and Band Aid Facelift), the Band Aid Blepharoplasty is a minimally invasive version of the traditional blepharoplasty that is performed right in my office with gentle numbing (local anesthesia). Band Aid Eyelid Surgery is well-suited for patients whose appearance doesn’t quite warrant the traditional blepharoplasty procedure.

Did you know that an aged eye appearance can be caused by wrinkles and sagging skin of the brow too? I often see patients for a blepharoplasty consultation only to conclude that their areas of concern actually call for a brow lift or Band Aid Brow Lift. A brow lift removes the excess sagging and drooping skin of the forehead to lift the eyebrows and give the eyes a more youthful appearance.

If you’re concerned with the look of your eyes, but still aren’t sure which one of these facial rejuvenation procedures will produce the results you’re looking for, schedule a consultation so I can help determine the right procedure for you. Also, be sure to check out the rest of my website and stay tuned to my blog to learn more about the other cosmetic procedures I offer.
