In the more than twenty years that I have been a double board-certified plastic surgeon, my commitment has been to providing my patients with plastic surgery which will achieve the results they’re looking for but which can also fit into their busy lives. This has primarily come in the form of my Band Aid Facelift and other Band Aid procedures: minimally invasive versions of traditional cosmetic surgeries which offer natural-looking results with half the recovery time, because they’re performed in-office using gentle numbing and specialized techniques. To continue my goal of providing more accessible cosmetic solutions, I’m proud to introduce my newest innovation: the Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift.

While some plastic surgeries produce results which change little if at all over time (like nose reshaping and ear surgery), the issue with face lifts and other facial rejuvenation methods is that aging is progressive, and there is not a way to stop the process entirely. So while cosmetic surgery can make a powerful difference in that aging you have already experienced (in many cases, taking as much as ten years or more off a patient’s appearance), new signs of aging will arise over time. That’s where my Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift comes in.

It generally takes around eight to ten years after a facelift or Band Aid Mini Facelift for a patient’s aging to progress far enough to require another Band Aid Face Lift. In the meantime, some patients are happy with the results they achieve from Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing or Band Aid Skin Tightening. But for those who are looking for a more predictable and significant difference than non-surgical options can offer, the Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift can be the perfect solution for three or four years after the surgery.

So what’s the difference between the Band Aid Mini Facelift I developed twenty years ago and the new Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift? I developed this new procedure because of my patients who had expressed interest in making more subtle, incremental changes than even my Band Aid Mini Facelift provides—essentially with the goal of continuously keeping up with new signs of aging as they appear. Both the Band Aid Mini Facelift and the Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift are performed in a minimally invasive way, in-office with gentle numbing rather than general anesthesia. The Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift, however, is a milder version of the surgery, and it requires just half the cost and half of the already shortened recovery time the Band Aid Facelift needs. For most patients, maintaining ideal results will begin with a Band Aid Facelift or a traditional facelift, followed by incremental “touch-ups” as the years go by to address future aging, like Band Aid Micro Mini Facelifts and non-surgical treatments.

When it comes to cosmetic surgery (as well as non-surgical aesthetic procedures), the biggest advantage to having a larger number of treatment options is that we can find the choice which best aligns with your goals, needs, and priorities. Whether you’re looking for an extensive improvement or just a quick touch-up, schedule your plastic surgery consultation to discuss your cosmetic options.
