Meet Our Band Aid Mini Facelift Patient: Cathy

, , , , ,

mother-and-daughterHere at my office, I pride myself on being able to offer my patients more than just terrific and long-lasting plastic surgery results. I make it a goal to create an atmosphere where my patients feel assured, informed, and comfortable through every phase of their plastic surgery journey. Keeping a positive mindset is critical for plastic surgery patients, and my staff and I do everything we can to make sure our patients feel good about their surgery, including being there to address any specific questions or concerns they may have beforehand. Today, I wanted to share a firsthand plastic surgery testimonial from Cathy, a patient of mine who recently visited us for a Band Aid Facelift procedure.

When I first met Cathy, she was very intrigued by the idea of a less invasive type of facelift surgery. She was especially open to the idea of a shorter recovery time after surgery and being able to achieve the final results sooner than those of a traditional facelift. I presented Cathy with all of her procedure options, and we eventually agreed that the Band Aid Mini Facelift (performed in my office using gentle numbing) made the most sense for her specific needs.

For more on Cathy’s experience here at my office, keep reading to hear her describe her time with us in her own words:

“I had a Band Aid Facelift from Dr. LeRoy about a month ago. He was nice and very informative in the consultation. When I left, I understood in detail about the procedure, and 4 weeks later I am truly thrilled with the results. He has a wonderful, small team working with him. His nurse was caring, compassionate and deeply knowledgeable about all the procedures. His office manager was also helpful in answering all my questions; before and after the surgery.

The office is busy, but every appointment has started exactly on time and the atmosphere is very comfortable and relaxed. Dr. LeRoy should be your first consultation if you are considering cosmetic surgery or any cosmetic procedure. I will always be grateful to him for his expertise, down to earth manner and total honesty – and for providing me with a wonderful and natural new look.”

It’s always so wonderful to hear back from a patient like Cathy and to know that she’s so happy with her results, as well as her overall plastic surgery experience. It’s testimonials like this that let future patients know that they will be in good hands when they visit us for a procedure of their own.

LeRoy, to schedule a plastic surgery consultation today. You can also follow along with me on Facebook for additional tips, practice news, and much more.

Meet Our Band Aid Mini Facelift Patient: Sandy

, , , , ,

happy-womanThere are many factors to consider before undergoing a cosmetic surgery procedure. Obviously safety, great aesthetic results, and finding a plastic surgery practice where you can feel comfortable are of the utmost importance, but there are other considerations as well. For instance, the costs associated with plastic surgery are something that are front of mind for many patients. Today, I wanted to share a firsthand plastic surgery testimonial from a patient of mine who was concerned about costs heading into her surgery, but happily surprised by what she found at my office.

Sandy first visited the office because she was interested in a facial rejuvenation procedure to help refresh her appearance and treat common signs of facial aging. She was hesitant to pursue plastic surgery, largely out of fear of overwhelming surgical costs, as well as general concerns about surgery. However, upon learning about my less invasive Band Aid Mini Facelift technique (performed in my office using gentle numbing), she was incredibly excited about the prospect of this type of cosmetic procedure.

Keep reading to hear Sandy’s story in her own words and to see how satisfied she was with her plastic surgery experience:

“I am so very happy with the results of my procedures that Dr. LeRoy performed. I have waited for years to do this; price and fear being factors. Fortunately I found Dr. LeRoy who had developed the Band Aid Facelift that does not require hospitalization, therefore the cost is far less. The results are beyond my expectations. After the three month check-up, I chose to get injections for a couple of lines. Again the results were outstanding! Dr. LeRoy does NOT push any procedures. Very cautious!”

I’m so happy to know that Sandy has been so impressed and satisfied with her results, as well as her time in our office. I want to thank Sandy, as well as all of my other patients, who have taken time to leave us such thoughtful feedback over the years.

LeRoy, to schedule a plastic surgery consultation today. Don’t forget that you can follow along with me on Facebook for additional tips, practice news, and much more.

Your Ultimate Guide to the Band Aid Mini Facelift

, , ,

Band Aid Facelift with Dr. John LeRoyIf you look in the mirror and find that you look older than you feel or find yourself wishing you could turn back the clock on your facial aging, you may have started exploring your options. With the medical technology and advancements today, there are many treatments and procedures that can help you look younger, but one of the most balanced and successful options is my unique Band Aid Mini Facelift. To help you learn everything you need to know about this surgery, I’ve put together the ultimate guide to the Band Aid Mini Facelift.

What Is the Band Aid Mini Facelift and What Makes It Unique?

The Band Aid Mini Facelift is a unique cosmetic surgery I developed over 25 years ago and have been performing with exceptional success ever since. This procedure is a variation of the traditional facelift that incorporates minimally invasive techniques, allowing me to perform the surgery in-office using gentle numbing rather than performing it in a hospital or surgery center with general anesthesia. You’ll be awake and resting comfortably throughout the procedure.

What Is the Purpose of the Band Aid Mini Facelift?

The aim of the Band Aid Mini Facelift is to take a more incremental, natural approach to facial rejuvenation. Because a traditional facelift is a rather substantial surgery, patients often wait until their facial aging has progressed dramatically and then hope to fix 20 years of aging in one surgery. The Band Aid Mini Facelift, on the other hand, is designed to be a more manageable procedure you receive about every ten years. This allows you to enjoy more natural-looking results at more consistent intervals so you continue to look your best decade after decade.

I also offer an even more incremental version of the procedure, called a Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift. This surgery is meant for patients who just want to update their look every few years instead of waiting about ten years for their next Band Aid Mini Facelift.

How Long Is the Band Aid Mini Facelift Recovery?

Because it’s a minimally invasive surgery, my Band Aid Mini Facelift allows you to get back on your feet in about half as much time compared to a traditional facelift. After a traditional facelift, it can take two, three, or even four weeks for you to get back to work and your typical daily activities. After a Band Aid Mini Facelift, most patients return to work after just a week. Keep in mind, however, that there are many factors that affect the recovery time based on each individual and their lifestyle, so there is no way to give an exact timeframe.

How Much Does a Band Aid Mini Facelift Cost?

The Band Aid Mini Facelift is not only more convenient than a traditional facelift – it’s more cost-effective too. In fact, a Band Aid Mini Facelift costs about half the price of a traditional facelift surgery.

This is because a traditional surgery includes three primary costs: the surgeon’s fee, the operating room fee, and the anesthesia fees. Because a Band Aid Mini Facelift is performed in-office and uses gentle numbing rather than general anesthesia, you don’t have those added costs, which account for about half the price of a traditional facelift.

How Can I Receive a Band Aid Mini Facelift?

If you believe a Band Aid Mini Facelift may be the answer to your concerns about facial aging, the next step is to schedule a consultation with me, Dr. John LeRoy, at my Atlanta office. We’ll discuss the surgery in more detail, talk about whether you’re a candidate for the procedure, and address any questions you may have so you’ll feel comfortable with the entire process.

The Benefits of Combining a Facelift and Eyelid Surgery

, , , ,

 

Common Cosmetic Problems around the Eyes and How to Treat ThemMost tasks are typically accomplished with greater success when there’s teamwork involved. Plastic surgery is no exception to this concept. Dr. John LeRoy has decades of experience with combining cosmetic procedures that complement each other and ultimately produce more comprehensive results. One of the most effective pairings of cosmetic procedures for patients who have experienced noticeable facial aging is a facelift and eyelid surgery.  

Who is a good candidate for a facelift/eyelid surgery combination?

People experience aging at different rates and locations on the face or body. The ideal candidate for combining a facelift and eyelid surgery is a patient who has multiple features that are simultaneously showing wear. This includes wrinkles, facial droopiness, excess skin around the eyes, and more. The most accurate way to determine if this is the right option for you is to schedule an in-person consultation with double board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. John LeRoy. During your visit to our office, Dr. John LeRoy will carefully assess the type and extent of your aging to determine if the combination of a facelift and eyelid surgery is the best course of action for you.   

What are the benefits of receiving both a facelift and eyelid surgery in one session?  

Essentially, you can increase the degree of cosmetic results and consolidate the recovery process if you combine a facelift with eyelid surgery. Dr. John LeRoy performs his Band Aid Mini Facelift and Traditional Facelift to tighten sagging skin, fade facial creases, and eliminate jowls around the jawline. When its combined with eyelid surgery, patients will also have their sagging skin above upper eyelids and fat pockets under their lower eyelids safely removed. With all of the incredible improvements achieved in one concentrated period of time, the results can take years off of a person’s appearance, while still looking natural. 

Giving patients more flexibility with Band Aid procedures

Who doesn’t appreciate more options? Years ago, Dr. John LeRoy developed his signature Band Aid Mini Facelift to offer a more subtle alternative to the traditional facelift. However, he didn’t stop there. He also created a Band Aid Eye Surgery that follows the same philosophy for patients who want slighter improvements on their facial features. Both the Band Aid Facelift and Band Aid Eye Surgery cut the cost and recovery time while still de-aging multiple areas of the face. They’re performed in-office with gentle numbing, so they fit easily into a busy schedule.

If you want to refresh your look, you might want to consider the combination of a facelift and eyelid surgery.

3 Simple Tips for Maximizing Your Plastic Surgery Results

, , , , , , , , , , ,

After diligently listening to my patients’ requests to look like themselves, only younger, I was inspired to develop the original Band Aid Facelift, a procedure that works to remedy mild to moderate signs of facial aging in-office with gentle numbing.  Since then, I’ve performed thousands of this variation of the facelift resulting in many extremely satisfied patients. Today, so many patients are eager to be educated on ways in which they can maintain their newly revitalized appearance. I’d like to offer the following tips to aid my patients in looking their best and feeling younger than ever.

skin tightening atlanta gaAs a simple tip, I recommend upping your water intake to hydrate the skin and maintain your natural looking results. For a general rule for the minimum intake of water to drink daily, take your body weight and divide by two. For example, the average 150-pound woman should be drinking a minimum of 75 ounces of water per day. By drinking the recommended amount, you’re assisting your body’s natural processes of maintaining a healthy rate of skin cell production while purging damaging oxidizing agents linked to aging skin

While this physical aging we speak of is unavoidable and to be embraced, skin treatments such as Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing with DOT laser technology can boost the production of younger looking skin cells. As an added benefit, this type of laser skin treatment is customizable for your individual skin type and very effective in treating isolated issues such as sunspots.

For the common signs of aging I see, we have the sun and environmental pollutants to blame. By using quality skin care products and consistently applying broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30+ everyday, you can keep your skin looking younger for much longer. Even as we approach the fall and winter seasons not commonly associated with sun exposure, daily application is necessary. Sun protection is imperative for maintaining plastic surgery results due to the destructive UVA rays that are absorbed by your skin, which halt the collagen and elastin fiber production that keeps youthful skin looking plumped and wrinkle-free.
