Breast augmentation has long been one of the top requested plastic surgery procedures within the U.S. Additionally, minimally invasive cosmetic procedures like the mini facelift or Band Aid Facelift continue to remain popular for their reduced recovery time and approachable price point. It’s important; however, to be wary of any cosmetic procedure marketed as “minimally invasive” that seems too good to be true.
All of my Band Aid Plastic Surgery procedures like Band Aid Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), Band Aid Liposuction, and Band Aid Tummy Tuck are designed to address isolated, small areas of cosmetic concern. Because their purpose is so specific, and the treatment areas are relatively contained, they can be performed in-office using gentle numbing (local anesthetic). This is not the case with breast augmentation, in my opinion. Breast surgery involves a treatment area that is dense with nerves and thicker layers of muscle and tissue to navigate.
Though some plastic surgeons may offer a minimally invasive type of breast augmentation, it is not something that I feel is in any patient’s best interest given the possibility of breast surgery complications if the proper safety precautions aren’t followed. I only perform breast surgery like breast augmentation, breast reduction, and breast lift in a hospital with the assistance of a qualified anesthesiologist and surgical team.
Despite the appeal and convenience the latest and greatest plastic surgery techniques may seem to offer, it’s vital that patients research their prospective surgeon as well as the specific surgical technique to ensure it’s been deemed safe by medical governing bodies. Even though this research may seem superfluous, in-depth patient education is an important part of enhancing satisfaction with your plastic surgery results as well as minimizing the need for secondary procedures like breast revision surgery to correct previous surgical results.

Many people think that plastic surgery is a to aging. The fact is that the body continues to age after plastic surgery whether you have a traditional full facelift or a Band Aid facelift. I like to suggest patients approach plastic surgery with a maintenance mind set. Because bone and collagen weaken with maturity causing wrinkles and sagging skin, I often find that those patients who pursue facial plastic surgery earlier (when they start to notice cosmetic issues) are better able to obtain the enhancement they’re after because less dramatic measures are required. This was actually one of the reasons I created my Band Aid plastic surgery procedures beginning with the Band Aid Facelift in 1997.
Band Aid Facelift, wrinkle reduction with injectables or facial fillers, and Band Aid Laser Skin Resurfacing are all effective options to address those starting marks of maturity. Additionally, these procedures can give people who have previously undergone plastic surgery the rejuvenation they may need to return to their original post-surgery appearance. While these procedures are certainly not a substitute for the dramatic results facelift, necklift, or browlift surgery can produce, they are accessible options for isolated issues like crow’s feet, sagging cheeks, and signs of sun damage.
Another important thing to understand about cosmetic procedures is that aging will continue to become visible after treatment if certain lifestyle factors aren’t addressed. I urge all of my patients to regularly wear protective clothing and a broad spectrum sunscreen to keep their refreshed skin looking more youthful. Smoking can also impact the way your body heals after facial plastic surgery and topical treatments like laser skin resurfacing.
I like to explain these things to my patients to allow them to better understand when facial rejuvenation is appropriate. Seeing eventual need for additional Band Aid plastic surgery shouldn’t be seen as defeat, but as logically addressing the distinct issues that arise at varying ages to maximize the natural appearance of your plastic surgery results and optimize your long-term satisfaction.
