The “Scarless” Face Lift

E
ating right and exercising are great ways to
stave off the inevitable
signs of aging. But
even if you’re devoted
to wellness, over time your skin loses
elasticity, bone and tissue deteriorate
and hereditary factors become more
pronounced.
North Texas residents can count
themselves fortunate that nationallyknown facial plastic surgeon Dr.
Gregory D. Roberts is a short drive
away. He’s refined a face lift technique, known as the “scarless” face
lift, which allows patients to recover
from surgery with virtually no visible scarring. The “scarless” face lift
involves a series of surgical methods
and meticulous precision that can help
restore more natural, youthful facial
features with virtually imperceptible
signs of surgical intervention.
“My one guiding principle is that
your cosmetic surgery looks natural,” said Dr. Roberts. “You should
look refreshed and well-rested, never
pulled.” Dr. Roberts takes the time
necessary to meticulously place and
close incisions, ensuring that his patients’ incisions are virtually invisible,
as well as helping to minimize bruising and quicken the healing process.
Dr. Roberts and his staff are thorough
and attentive before and after surgery,
making sure each patient understands
the procedure and recovery time.
Many of Dr. Roberts’ patients also
find pleasing results with a nonsurgical face lift alternative known
as a Liquid Face Lift. Revolumizing
the face with a Liquid Face Lift can
be done alone or in conjunction with
a face lift to restore natural, youthful
volume and contours. Dr. Roberts appreciates that each patient is a unique
individual with specific needs and
expectations. “I like to spend time
with each patient discussing options
and determining what will produce
the best and most consistent results
to fit the patient’s goals and desires,”
he said.
If your goal is smoother, clearer
skin tone and texture, skin resurfacing
with advanced lasers such as D.O.T. or
Fraxel® can be a tremendous help, as
well. For patients seeking more com-
prehensive facial rejuvenation, Dr.
Roberts might recommend an R-Lift,
which integrates a “scarless” face lift
(or other cosmetic surgery), as well as
a liquid face lift and fractional laser
resurfacing. “An R-Lift essentially
blends the three R’s of facial rejuvenation,” said Dr. Roberts, “Repositioning
(drooping skin), Revolumizing (flattened facial features) and Repairing
(sun damaged skin).”
“There’s a tremendous amount of
satisfaction that comes along with
my work,” he said. “Seeing patients
get positive results from their procedure, as well as seeing their re
