Is the Band Aid Facelift the Same Thing as a Mini Facelift?
The short scar rhytidectomy, or mini facelift method, has been used by plastic surgeons to tighten loose facial muscles and sagging skin for several years. Designed for facial rejuvenation patients with isolated concern who don’t need a full facelift, the less invasive nature of a mini facelift also means it can usually be performed with local anesthesia.
The Band Aid Facelift is an original procedure that was developed by Dr. John LeRoy in 1997 to correct the fine lines and wrinkles of his patients the easy way. While the Band Aid Facelift is a “mini facelift”, Dr. LeRoy’s surgical technique, experience, and use of gentle numbing are unique. With over 3,000 Band Aid Facelifts performed by Dr. LeRoy, he has perfected his technique to develop similar, mini procedures to address additional cosmetic concerns like Band Aid Liposuction, Band Aid Blepharoplasty, and most recently, Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing.
In addition to the natural looking results mini procedures provide, the shorter surgical time and lower fees are appealing to many patients; however, Dr. LeRoy warns that it’s of upmost importance for patients to research their potential plastic surgeon and their treatment facility when pursuing a mini facelift or mini plastic surgery procedure. Dr. LeRoy adds, “Though many cleverly named mini facelift procedures may sound like they produce similar results, it ultimately depends on the surgeon’s attention to detail and experience that will produce the most successful, natural looking results.”
