I had a facelift about ten years ago and would like to “refresh” my results without the downtime of another facelift. Is there another procedure that will revitalize the results from my surgery a few years ago?
This is a great question! While a facelift does turn back the hands of time, it does not stop the aging process. Even after the procedure, collagen production in the skin slows, and many years down the road a touch-up procedure may be necessary to maintain your results. However, a traditional facelift generally isn’t necessary in this situation. My “Band Aid” Facelift may be the perfect solution to solve your rejuvenation woes.
I created the Band Aid Facelift to help patients whose signs of aging don’t necessitate a full facelift, but it is also perfect for those looking to rejuvenate their previous plastic surgery results. The Band Aid Facelift uses smaller incisions and gentle numbing instead of general anesthesia. This means that the procedure can be performed in-office and has a much shorter recovery (typically only 3 to 5 days) than traditional facelift.
For older adults, the Band Aid Facelift carries fewer risks because of its less invasive nature. Many of my patients have been very pleased with the subtle and natural-looking results they’ve received from the procedure. The Band Aid Facelift isn’t for everyone, though. Individuals with more advanced signs of aging may benefit more from a traditional facelift.
Likewise, individuals who do not want to undergo another surgical procedure may find that Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing provides the right amount of rejuvenation. Like other Band Aid procedures, Laser Skin Resurfacing is performed in-office with gentle numbing. Using advanced DOT Laser Therapyâ„¢, Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing stimulates collagen production and helps eliminate fine lines and wrinkles, acne, and even sun spots. Whether as an initial treatment or as regular maintenance to your previous facelift results, Band Aid Laser Skin resurfacing helps renew skin for a younger-looking complexion.
I created the Band Aid Facelift to help solve patients’ mild to moderate aging concerns .From your question, it seems like you may be a great candidate for Band Aid plastic surgery or Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing.

Plastic Surgeon in Atlanta Discusses Popularity of “Mini” Cosmetic Procedures
In 2010, Americans spent $10.7 billion on cosmetic enhancement procedures, according to the latest study from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). As nonsurgical and minimally invasive procedures become increasingly popular, Atlanta plastic surgeon John LeRoy, MD is offering a more accessible and highly-effective option for cosmetic enhancement. He says the Band Aid procedures are designed as an alternative to traditional procedures, such as the facelift or liposuction, for patients in search of subtle aesthetic enhancement instead of a dramatic transformation.
With more than 9.3 million cosmetic procedures performed in 2010, 83% of the cosmetic procedures performed were nonsurgical in nature, highlighting a continuing trend toward less-invasive procedures. At his Atlanta plastic surgery practice, Dr. John LeRoy says he first noticed an interest towards mini procedures increase in 1997. In turn, he developed the Band Aid Facelift, a less-invasive approach to the traditional facelift.
The Band Aid Facelift was the first minimally invasive procedure Dr. John LeRoy developed at his plastic surgery practice in Atlanta. He has since refined Band Aid versions of blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), brow lift, liposuction (body sculpting), and tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). Designed to create a subtle enhancement, Dr. LeRoy says he chose the name Band Aid because they do not require the heavy amount of surgical dressings or recovery time associated with more traditional cosmetic surgeries. However, Dr. LeRoy adds that some patients are better candidates for Band Aid procedures than others. “Band Aid surgeries are designed to target very specific cosmetic concerns in isolated areas for patients who are not yet in need of the traditional version. The best way to determine if a patient is a candidate for a Band Aid procedure or in need of traditional plastic surgery is to thoroughly discuss and examine his or her concerns during a consultation.”
As cosmetic enhancement becomes more prevalent in the U. S., Dr. LeRoy says less-invasive, more accessible versions of traditional plastic surgery, such as his Band Aid procedures, will continue to gain further support for the aesthetic healthcare industry. “Patients have begun seeking plastic surgery earlier in life than they once did. Instead of waiting until they need rejuvenation, they are starting to take care of concerns as soon as they begin to develop. The most important thing a patient should understand is that even though Band Aid procedures are convenient and effective, there are circumstances in which traditional plastic surgery is a more appropriate choice.”
