Face Lift

Dr. Roche performs hundreds successful traditional face lifts a year, which are also known as a rhytidectomy. A face lift creates almost instant and long-lasting results to eliminate sagging facial skin. Modern surgical and medical techniques have made the face lift a minimally invasive procedure. Utilizing the Stem Cell and Fat Transfer technology, along with advanced Platlet-Rich-Plasma (PRP), Dr. Roche can increase the results of a traditional face life, as well as significantly reduce bruising and swelling for a face lift, leading to a minimal recovery period. It is one of the most well-accepted and most frequently-performed aesthetic surgical procedures in North America. As technology advances, Dr. Roche is now also on the cutting edge of Stem Cell and 3-D Face Lifts.

What Does a Face Lift Do

Deciding to have a face lift is a life-enhancing decision and Dr. Roche ensures that each patient has the information needed to make an educated decision. A traditional face lift provides an overall lift to the lower third of your face and mid-face by tightening the expression muscles under the skin, tightening loose skin in the jowls, neck, and jaw line. A face lift alone will not remove forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, or bags under your eyes. Using Stem Cell, Fat Transfer and PRP, Dr. Roche can increase the results of the procedure and the healing process after surgery.

During an initial consultation, Dr. Roche will discuss a patient’s particular condition, their expectations, and the probable outcome for them individually for various treatment options. Dr. Roche shows several before and after photographs of patients having similar conditions and explains the details of the procedure. A face lift, which normally takes three to four hours, usually requires a short stay at our surgery center. Although the remarkable results of the face lift are obvious immediately, subtle changes continue to reveal themselves for the next six months. Dr. Roche gives full postoperative instructions and the best results are achieved if these instructions are followed carefully. Scheduling a consultation with Dr. Roche is the best way to discover if the face lift is the right choice for you. Please call us at 248-338-1110 today to book your appointment.
