Band Aid Blepharoplasty

The Beauty of Blepharoplasty

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

In his 22 years of surgical experience, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. John L. LeRoy has witnessed many patients come in feeling discouraged by not being able to correct the progression of aging eyes that tend to affect the entire appearance of the face or even functionality in eyesight.

Eyelid SurgeryEyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a procedure that revives the alert, aware appearance of your most rested state. The eye area is revitalized by removing excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. With eyelid surgery, patients see results that are subtle to the outside appearance, but beyond effective to the beholder.

Those with bags under the eyes, sagging upper eyelids, a puffy appearance, or obstructed vision due to any of these concerns are likely candidates for either traditional blepharoplasty of Dr. LeRoy’s specialized Band Aid version of the rejuvenating procedure. Band Aid Blepharoplasty is performed in-office with local anesthetic and typically requires less time to complete than  traditional eyelid surgery. Dr. LeRoy gently removes excess fat and sagging skin around the eyes while smoothing out the remaining skin. Combined, these approaches effectively rejuvenate troublesome areas of the eyes for a more youthful, refreshed appearance that doesn’t necessitate an excessive downtime.

Eyelid lifts are not limited to either gender or being performed alone. Dr. LeRoy performs eyelid surgery on both men and women who are interested in facial anti-aging or relieving eye sagging. He also frequently combines the procedure with other minimally invasive procedures like Band Aid Browlift or forehead lifts.

Don’t settle for looking older and more fatigued than you actually are. Let your outer appearance reflect the youthful vibrancy radiating inside of you. With innovative blepharoplasty methods, your entire facial appearance can adopt results that look both beautiful and natural.

Mini Blepharoplasty & Mini Facelift Patient Experience

, , , , , , , , , ,

Sometimes, all you need is a little lift to regain the confidence and self-esteem that is often lost with age. That boost was exactly what our patient found when Band Aid Facelift and Band Aid Blepharoplasty procedures were performed by double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. John L. LeRoy. Likened to a mini facelift, Band Aid Facelifts use smaller incisions to significantly reduce recovery period. Along the same lines, Band Aid Blepharoplasty is performed in office with gentle numbing to revive the eyes. When you return to your normal routine, you’ll appear with a fresher, younger appearance, just as our patient did. Read the testimonial and check out the video below.

“I am a patient of Dr. LeRoy. I had a mini facelift done and bags taken out from under my eyes. It was a very brief, in-office procedure. It was all over in about three and a half hours. The recuperation was at home for about a week. I would say the difference is that most people say that it took about ten years off of my face. I am very pleased with the results. I had no complications. Nobody can really believe now what my age is, which is 66! I am very pleased with Dr. LeRoy’s work and I highly recommend him to anyone who is considering having some facial work done.”

Ask Dr. LeRoy: “How Do Band Aid Procedures Differ From Injectables/Lasers?”

, , , , , , , ,

According to the most recent annual statistics compiled by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), facelifts remained among the top five cosmetic procedures in the United States over the course of 2012. However, the popularity of injectable, wrinkle filling and reducing treatments and fractionated laser treatments have many prospective patients teetering on the decision of which procedure is most suitable to their individual needs. The answer to that question may be as simple as the procedures’ lasting results.  Years of experience have allowed board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. John L. LeRoy to develop a smaller, minimally-invasive version of the traditional facelift:  the Band Aid Facelift.

band aid proceduresPerformed in-office with local anesthesia, Band Aid Facelifts have the distinctive advantage of targeting the underlying cause of very specific areas of concern.  Unlike dermal fillers, injectables, or facial lasers that solely treat skin issues like wrinkles, creases, and elasticity, the Band Aid Facelift physically addresses the lax underlying muscles which cause the drooping appearance and wrinkles associated with aging.  Additionally, muscle-relaxing substances like Botox® and Dysport® produce temporary results that typically last three to four months while wrinkle fillers like Restylane® can produce results that last up to a year, but will inevitably require routine maintenance to sustain results.  While it’s impossible for any cosmetic procedure to halt aging completely, by addressing the root issues with Band Aid procedures, patients can see long-lasting, substantial cosmetic results.

Over 8 million minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures were performed in 2012 (ASAPS), a 10% increase from years past that shows promise in continuing to grow in popularity. In efforts to address more localized concerns for his patients, Dr. LeRoy has developed minimally-invasive versions of his body and facial cosmetic surgeries over the last two decades including Band Aid Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), Band Aid Liposuction, Band Aid Browlift, and more.

How Does Eyelid Surgery Rejuvenate the Face?

, , , , , , , , , ,

When we look at another person’s face, the first thing we habitually notice is the eyes. While a beautiful color, nice shape, and well done eye make-up may be noticed first, what often is more telling is the presence of puffiness, sagging, fine lines, and crow’s feet. These are signs of age, and without preventative or corrective procedures, they can have an effect on how old we look. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. John L. LeRoy values his patient’s looking just as young on the outside as they feel on the inside, and feels strongly that confidence in yourself defies any number.

Eyelid SurgeryIn his years of surgical experience, Dr. LeRoy has seen many patients come in feeling weary over not being able to correct the progression of aging eyes that seem to affect the entire appearance of the face. Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a procedure that reinstates an alert and rested appearance to the eye area by removing excess skin and fat from the upper and/or lower eyelids. Eyelid surgery provides effective, yet subtle results that have the potential to take years off your face.

When patients begin to see signs of aging in their thirties and forties, a “touch-up” around the eyes with Band Aid Blepharoplasty can do the trick rather than opting for a full eyelid procedure. Unlike traditional eyelid surgery, Dr. LeRoy’s Band Aid Blepharoplasty uses the same methods behind the renowned Band Aid Facelift and performs the operation in-office, using only gentle numbing (local anesthesia). However, Band Aid Blepharoplasty does share the same qualities of traditional blepharoplasty in that it removes pockets of excess fat and sagging skin, just in a less invasive way. For further eye rejuvenation, patients often choose to undergo blepharoplasty in combination with browlifts, which raise the eyebrows and smooth skin on the forehead.

Eyelid lifts are not limited to women. Dr. LeRoy performs them on both men and women who are interested in facial anti-aging or bothersome eye sagging.

Dr. LeRoy Adds Exparel® Pain Management to Patient Care Routine

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

Since 1997, Dr. John LeRoy has been perfecting his minimally invasive plastic surgery techniques to produce natural looking plastic surgery results without the downtime associated with traditional surgical techniques.  During his twenty years of Atlanta plastic surgery practice, Dr. LeRoy has grown to understand that patients appreciate anything their plastic surgeon can do to minimize life interruptions from plastic surgery.

With that understanding, Dr. LeRoy recently added Exparel® pain management to his post plastic surgery care routine.  Unique in its ability to provide up to 72 hours of post operative pain relief, Dr. LeRoy injects the solution into the surgical site at the end of the procedure.  This specialized delivery allows Dr. LeRoy to treat multiple layers of tissue for comprehensive pain relief after facial plastic surgery as well as procedures of the breast and body contouring.  The amount of Exparel® analgesic administered is calculated based on the size of incision and the type of surgery performed.

Designed as an alternative to the popular pain patch post-surgery system, Exparel®’s targeted treatment is also useful in minimizing the amount of additional pain medicine necessary during plastic surgery recovery in some patients.  To learn more about the plastic surgery technology Dr. LeRoy employs stay tuned to his blog and connect with him on Facebook and Twitter.
