Gregory D. Roberts, M.D. W The Art of Facial Aesthetics By Pamela Hammonds e inherit some great characteristics from our ancestors. A sense of humor. A strong work ethic. Maybe even features such as high cheekbones and expressive eyes. But sometimes we also receive Dad’s baggy eyelids, Mom’s sagging jowls, a distracting nose or weak chin. Some of these traits can hide our inner beauty. Coupled with the effects of time, they may cause us to look tired and even older than we feel. Unlike generations before us, we can explore surgical and nonsurgical options that not only produce natural results but are also affordable. The key is finding a plastic surgeon who has honed his skills and innovative techniques, listens to your goals and explains your options while striving to adhere to the highest standards. That surgeon is Gregory D. Roberts, M.D. For over 12 years, he’s devoted his practice to helping his patients achieve natural results and endeavoring to exceed their expectations. “Each patient is unique,” Dr. Roberts said, “so it’s important to really listen to what the patient wants. I start by asking what bothers you. What do you hope to achieve?” Dr. Roberts specializes in facial plastic surgery. His objective is to provide results that are in harmony with individual facial features. He also wants patients to be able to go out in public without makeup if they so desire. This requires him to take additional time in each procedure to incorporate a series of precise surgical methods. For example during a female face lift, he utilizes post-tragal incisions placed on the inside of the ear and bevels placement of incisions at the hairline to help provide a virtually “scarless” appearance. In an endoscopic brow lift, he typically places tiny endoscopic incisions hidden above the hairline. In each Rhinoplasty nose contouring procedure, his goal is to provide an outcome that fits with an individual’s unique anatomy, as well as incorporating each person’s unique desires and goals. That is why his nose jobs can look so different from one person to the next. In Otoplasty ear contouring, chin implants and lip implants, results are individualized and incisions performed with the goal of hiding any signs of surgical intervention for a natural look and feel.

Dr. Roberts also utilizes FDA-approved injectables such as Juvéderm®, Voluma®, Radiesse® & Botox® to stave off the signs of aging—perfect for patients who are hesitant to commit to surgery, who don’t need surgery or for post-surgery maintenance.
