Does Facelift Surgery Really Improve Confidence?

, , , , , ,

Band Aid Mini Facelift, eyelid surgery, facial rejuvenation, Band Aid Eyelid Surgery, Band Aid Laser Skin ResurfacingConfidence is a gift that anyone can use. When you can feel comfortable in your own skin, it gives you empowerment that can affect you on a daily basis and put an extra smile on your face each time you look in the mirror. I have had the honor of helping thousands of patients rediscover their confidence through plastic surgery – primarily through my minimally invasive Band Aid Mini Facelift.

Every patient weighs the benefits before they decide to schedule their Band Aid Mini Facelift, so it’s common to wonder whether your procedure will actually improve your confidence the way you hope. There may not be a way to tell the future, but you can read the words of other patients who have been in your shoes and have found a new confidence with their Band Aid Mini Facelift:

“I had a facelift…and was very pleased with the process from beginning to end. I am very happy with the surgery results and enjoy seeing photos of myself looking so good! Dr. LeRoy is very personable, as is his nurse Dorothy. I enjoyed listening to their banter during my 3-hour procedure (local anesthesia only, very easy). The office and surgery is modern and inviting, everyone I dealt with was very courteous and professional. I would highly recommend Dr. LeRoy to anyone considering a facelift or similar procedure.”

“During my post-op visit after an early morning flight, my husband refused to go in with me. I wanted to inquire about a couple of other minor procedures with my lips and extra skin on one eyelid. He quoted, ‘I don’t want to go in because I would suggest he do nothing more to you, as your surgery is the most natural I have ever seen, with two-hundred percent perfection.’

The only thing I regret about meeting this doctor is that I didn’t meet him sooner.”

My dedication to empowering my patients and building their confidence is not limited to my patients who have a Band Aid Mini Facelift. I have seen patients stand a little taller after non-surgical procedures as well like Botox® or Dysport®, facial filler injections, and Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing. I even have patients who leave their plastic surgery consultation with an extra spring in their step:

“I had the chance to meet Dr. LeRoy today!! He is an amazing doctor who is honest and pleasant. This was my first encounter with him but I could tell he cared about me and my concerns and addressed them in a professional but compassionate manner. He recommended I wait for the procedure I wanted and did not force any sales upon me. I am grateful to have met such an amazing person and staff I came in with lack of confidence within myself and left full of confidence. Such an amazing staff.”

Minimally Invasive Facial Procedures for a Glowing Summer Look

, , , ,

Many of my patients are requesting minimally invasive procedures to get a refreshed look for summer from the comfort of my office. Due to COVID-19 and its spread, many patients want to stay away from hospitals and invasive procedures. That is why I, Dr. John LeRoy, have put together this list of minimally invasive facial procedures so that you can get a glowing look for summer from the safety of my comfortable, yet heavily sanitized office.

Band Aid Procedures

My band aid procedures are modifications of more invasive cosmetic procedures. I offer a band aid mini facelift, band aid blepharoplasty, band aid brow lift, band aid laser skin resurfacing, and band aid lip augmentation, to name a few. These cost-effective procedures are performed in-office using gentle numbing. Because band aid procedures are minimally invasive, you will recover faster and be able to get back to your routine as soon as possible.

Fractionated Laser Skin Resurfacing

Our fractionated laser skin resurfacing utilizes DOT technology to rejuvenate the skin. This rejuvenation technique activates your body’s natural healing responses and causes your skin to repair itself with new cells. This treatment can be applied to many different parts of the body; however, it is commonly applied to the facial and neck area. This option is great for patients who want to see gradual improvement over several months.

Facial Injections

I offer a variety of facial injections including facial fillers to plump skin and preventative treatments such as Botox® and Dysport® to slow the effects of prominent wrinkles. Cosmetic injections can help to fill in sallow areas of your skin, plump thinning lips, and tighten the face overall without changing any of your underlying facial structure. As a double-board certified plastic surgeon, I aim to provide my patients with subtle, natural results. Some of the fillers I offer in-office include: Restylane®, Juvéderm®, Juvéderm Voluma® XC, Restylane® Lyft, and Radiesse®. For those looking to minimize lines caused by excessive facial movements, Botox® and Dysport® may be right for you. These facial injections relax the muscles and cause your face to be more relaxed, reducing wrinkles over time.

I hope this blog helps you to understand the variety of options available to refresh your skin this summer, despite COVID-19. My office is currently open to receive calls. To schedule an appointment, please call (404) 843-0840. Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for more information about cosmetic and plastic surgery.

Please note that we are taking many in-office precautions such as the installation of high efficiency particulate air filters (HEPA), increase sanitation protocol, advanced safety equipment for staff, preliminary phone screenings and temperature checks, in-office social distancing, and other important measures to safeguard you against COVID-19.

Maintain Your Results with Skin Tightening with Protégé

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

Last year, Band Aid Skin Tightening using Protégé technology made a valuable addition to the line of Band Aid Plastic Surgery procedures provided at my office.  Protégé’s unique Energy Flow Control (EFC) system reduces wrinkles and skin laxity of the face, neck, and chest to deliver safe and noticeable facial rejuvenation results. While skin tightening is widely recognized as an effective anti-aging solution, many of my patients may not be aware of its role in the maintenance of your results from other cosmetic surgery procedures.

Dysport Wrinkle TreatmentMost Band Aid Skin Tightening patients can expect to see results after the first treatment, with full results visible three to six months after your initial treatment. Though other skin firming technologies require the super-heating of skin to remodel collagen, Protégé precisely warms the deeper dermal layers to induce collagen production and tighten skin without patient discomfort. As an added benefit essential to your comfort, the technology has built-in safety features to guarantee that treatment levels flow steadily, efficiently, and pain-free.

Although no downtime or anesthesia is associated with Protégé treatment, I do encourage an increase in water consumption the day before and after treatment to avoid dehydration and show your results sooner. As an added bonus, you’ll be youthfully glowing from proper hydration!

In addition to enhancing and increasing the longevity of your procedure results, Band Aid Skin Tightening can benefit patients seeking more lasting wrinkle reduction results, comparable to facial injections. Additionally, skin tightening can improve your overall aesthetic when combined with conjunction facial procedures like rhinoplasty (nose surgery) or brow lift.

When considering skin tightening, seek the expertise and supervision of a board certified plastic surgeon that has facial skin tightening experience to elude treatment problems or less than desirable results.
