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.

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.
