Q.) What is Band Aid Liposuction, and how is it different from traditional liposuction?
Similar to the development of Dr. LeRoy’s other Band Aid procedures; Band Aid Liposuction is just a mini version of liposuction for those patients who do not need the full procedure. Because Band Aid Liposuction can be performed in office under local anesthesia, recovery time is minimal. Most patients can even drive themselves home after the “mini” procedure.
Q.) What areas can be slimmed with Band Aid Liposuction?
Band Aid Liposuction can be performed on areas of the body that store small amounts of excess fat, including: abdomen, hips, saddlebags, arms, knees, back, legs, buttocks and under the chin.
Q.) How long does it take to recover from Band Aid Liposuction?
Since Band Aid Liposuction is less invasive than traditional liposuction, patients can expect very minimal downtime. In most cases, patients are back to their daily activities in 1-3 days.
Q.) Who can benefit from Band Aid Liposuction?
Band Aid Liposuction is reserved for those patients who have small amounts of excess fat stores that do not respond to diet and exercise. Patients with larger amounts of fat may benefit most from the traditional liposuction procedure. During a consultation, Dr. LeRoy can help you decide which procedure will best meet your needs.

Liposuction is a procedure that eliminates areas of excess, stubborn fat—meaning even with diet and exercise, and the best intentions, these isolated fat pockets don’t seem to budge. Liposuction can remove up to ten pounds of fat, but keep in mind that it is no substitute for a proper diet and regular exercise. It’s designed for people who eat healthfully and exercise, but need that extra push to achieve their goals. What about patients who only need a little push?
I enjoy this clientele because they are exactly who I had in mind developing Band Aid Liposuction. After years and years of trying, slimming down as best they could, candidates for Band Aid Liposuction still see these small, yet noticeable fat pockets that they cannot seem to decrease. While someone else may look at them and think they look great, they’re troubled by the excess fat.
Like many of my other Band Aid procedures, I can perform Band Aid Liposuction under local anesthesia right in my office. While larger areas with excess nerve endings cannot be treated with only local anesthesia, areas with small amounts of excess fat like the abdomen, under the chin, behind elbows, hips, “saddle bags” (outer thighs), and knees can be treated fairly quick in-office, with very little recovery time. Seeing the thrilled look on my patients’ faces is what drives me to continually refine these traditional procedures into minimally invasive, Band Aid procedures.
