facial rejuvenation surgery

For many patients, plastic surgery feels like a strong leap of faith because of the recovery period, the procedure itself, and the cost. One of my top passions as a double board-certified plastic surgeon has been to allow patients to get the confidence-boosting cosmetic results they want without the recovery time and cost of a traditional facelift. It was that mission that drove me to create my signature Band Aid Mini Facelift over 25 years ago, using minimally invasive techniques and in-office gentle numbing rather than general anesthesia, and I have been performing it with great success ever since.

If you’re considering a Band Aid Mini Facelift, you may be curious about the aesthetic concerns that this procedure can address. While it is a versatile procedure that I customize for each patient’s desired results, below are the primary cosmetic concerns that this minimally invasive surgery can address.

A Sagging Jawline

As we get older, our skin loses its firmness and eventually succumbs to the effects of gravity. While the skin is sagging throughout your face, that excess skin tends to collect and be most visible at the jawline. This is why we develop jowls as we age.

During my Band Aid Mini Facelift, I remove excess sagging skin and give the entire lower face and mid face a refreshing lift. This creates not only a more defined jawline but a smoother, younger appearance throughout your lower and mid face.

Facial Hollows

During the aging process, our skin isn’t the only part of our face that shifts downward. Underlying facial tissue like fat and muscle can decrease with age and may fall from the cheeks into the lower face. This not only creates more bulk around the jawline but creates hollows in the cheeks that may make you look gaunter and harsher.

In my Band Aid Mini Facelift, however, I can restore your facial tissue to a more youthful position. This gives you the natural look of a younger you.

Deep Wrinkles in the Lower Face

Wrinkles can arise from multiple different causes. Some wrinkles are caused by repeated facial expressions over the years, while other wrinkles are primarily the result of your skin losing firmness and thickness with age. A Band Aid Mini Facelift can target the second type of wrinkles throughout your lower face and mid face.

Keep in mind that trying to remove all wrinkles with a Band Aid Mini Facelift or any facelift surgery is impractical and will also lead to an unnatural and uncomfortable result. However, my Band Aid Mini Facelift allows me to create an overall smoother facial contour that still looks natural for you.

How to Address Additional Signs of Aging

You may find that you have other signs of aging that aren’t listed above, such as bags under your eyes or wrinkles in your forehead. How can we address these signs of aging?

In many cases, I can combine a Band Aid Mini Facelift with other surgical or non-surgical treatments to treat a variety of cosmetic concerns in one procedure. For example, my Band Aid Eyelid Surgery combined with my Band Aid Mini Facelift can enhance your overall facial contour while improving bags under your eyes. Cosmetic facial injections like facial fillers, Botox®, or Dysport® can address fine lines and wrinkles that cannot be removed with a Band Aid Mini Facelift.

Regardless of your cosmetic concerns and desired results, the best place to begin is with a plastic surgery consultation. During this appointment, I will listen to your goals and determine the best procedure or procedures to achieve the results you want.
