ST. PAUL // HEALTHCARE PROFILES The Best You at Any Age It’s time to put your best face forward. Facial rejuvenation can help you look and feel your best, and it’s more achievable than you may realize. W “Women are often concerned that cosmetic enhancement is vain, but I simply view it as maintenance. You maintain your home, your car, and your health. Why wouldn’t you maintain a part of your health that directly impacts your psychological well-being?” says board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Heather Rocheford, founder of the discreet and boutique-style Rocheford Plastic Surgery. “It’s not just for Hollywood; your neighbors are doing it. It’s time you feel confident in your appearance again.” OPTIONS FOR ALL The signs of aging can start as early as your 30s, when creases begin to form around the forehead and brows. For minor repair, Dr. Rocheford recommends minimally invasive fillers and injectables, which require little risk and downtime. When patients lament of tired-looking eyes, an upper and lower lid blepharoplasty can be performed in-office and under local anesthesia to “make eyes more open and bright,” she says. Sagging jowls and loose neck skin are often next to need cosmetic attention, and Dr. Rocheford offers both full and mini facelifts. “My goal is to give patients a natural look that shaves off years without making them look like a different person,” says Dr. Rocheford, who also offers breast, tummy, and body procedures. BEFORE AND AFTER FACELIFT HEATHER ROCHEFORD, MD A PERSONAL APPROACH As the only all-female plastic surgery practice in St. Paul, Rocheford Plastic Surgery offers a uniquely feminine touch. “I can relate to my patients, and that’s a big advantage,” says Dr. Rocheford. No-pressure consultations obtain a complete health history and identify patients’ primary areas of concern. Treatment options are then presented with a transparent disclosure of all costs. “My goal is not to sell you the most expensive procedure,” she emphasizes. “I’m more interested in a long-term relationship where I can continue to make you feel good about your appearance at every stage of life.” The practice also offers a community of happy past patients who are willing to share experiences with potential patients who might be hesitant to take the plunge. “The best part of my job is making a positive difference in someone’s wellbeing,” concludes Dr. Rocheford.
