The Qualities of a Great Facelift

, , , ,

A great facelift isn’t always obvious at a first glance. If performed by a skilled plastic surgeon, most people won’t be able to tell that a person underwent cosmetic surgery. Dr. John LeRoy has been specializing in facial plastic surgery for over 25 years, so he has developed his own signature and refined method for patients to attain natural-looking results. If you’re considering a facelift, it’s important to know what to look for before you schedule your procedure.

The Qualities of a Great FaceliftNatural results

Simply put, the best plastic surgery looks natural. A plastic surgeon is only doing a patient a service when the results improve their appearance with natural-looking results. Plastic surgery is often preferred to be kept confidential between the patient and surgeon, so most patients don’t want to broadcast the message that they had “cosmetic work” done. Many people want to retain their natural essence while simply looking like younger versions of themselves.

Dr. John LeRoy places a strong emphasis on performing discrete facelifts that still successfully reposition tissue and subtly tighten skin to take years off patients’ appearances. For even more subtle facial adjustments, he uses his own techniques call the Band Aid Facelift and Band Aid Micro Mini Facelift. These options allow for more choices over the intensity of results.

Minimal Scarring

Since small incisions are required during a facelift, it’s impossible to entirely avoid them. Each patient has a distinct facial structure, so the location of the subtle scarring will vary. However, Dr. John LeRoy can conceal scars in facial creases, around the ears or within the hairline.

Keeping your look

Your natural features are part of what make you unique. The goal of a facelift is to create small improvements that bring out the best parts of your appearance or restore youthfulness. It’s not realistic to expect to look like an entirely different person after a procedure. With the refined results that Dr. John LeRoy produces, patients don’t need to entirely alter the way that they look for fantastic cosmetic results.

Areas of Focus

The primary focus of a facelift is generally on the lower half of the face: around the cheeks, mouth and jawline. Wrinkles and sagging skin on this area can be significantly reduced for a more sculpted and smoother complexion. A patient can typically retain their facelift results for up to 10 years after their procedure. However, people who receive Band Aid Mini Facelifts or Band Aid Micro Mini Facelifts in between their traditional facelifts can maintain a refreshed look for longer.

Is the Band Aid Facelift the Same Thing as a Mini Facelift?

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

facelift atlanta gaThe 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.”

Frequently Asked Questions about Traditional Facelift Surgery

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

How does a facelift work?
A facelift (rhytidectomy), works to reduce the appearance of sagging jowls and other visible signs of aging in the face and neck. By removing the excess skin and tissue around the face, Dr. John LeRoy can decrease the appearance of wrinkles and deep creases, like those found around the mouth, nose, and on the forehead. Focusing on mostly the lower half of the face, the excess fat around the sides of the face and jaws will be removed and the underlying muscles tightened.

I am interested in facelift surgery but don’t want any scars on my face. Does a traditional facelift leave noticeable scarring?
Because the incisions are made along the hairline during a traditional facelift, the scarring should be hidden within the hair. However, a fine line will appear along the front of the ear and around the earlobe. For the most part, this scar is not noticeable.

I’ve heard of upper and lower facelifts. How are they different from a full facelift?
An upper facelift, or brow lift, focuses on rejuvenating the forehead and eye to reduce signs of aging like furrowed brows and wrinkles around the upper area of the face. The lower facelift, also referred to as a neck lift, focuses on reducing the amount of excess skin and fat along the neck and jaw. By minimizing excess skin, Dr. LeRoy can help reverse the signs of aging associated with lax muscles, loss of skin elasticity, and years of repeated facial expressions.

For those looking for more moderate rejuvenation, Dr. LeRoy recommends the Band Aid Facelift procedure. A Band Aid Facelift decreases signs of aging in specific areas of the face and is less complicated than a standard facelift procedure which means there is less recovery time.

How much downtime does a facelift require?
After a traditional facelift procedure, patients can expect to feel mild discomfort for the next few days. Within two weeks of surgery, the majority of patients are able to return to their daily routine. Because Dr. John LeRoy’s Band Aid Facelift procedure is minimally invasive and only requires gentle numbing, this procedure results in a shorter recovery period.

Dr. LeRoy often recommends facelift patients consider Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing as a finishing touch after a facelift, enhancing the surgical results and revealing younger skin along with your improved facial profile. Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing works to increase collagen production and smooth the skin’s tone and texture with DOT Laser Therapy.
