What is Radiesse ®?
Signs of facial aging begin in the thirties. The lines from the nose to the mouth (nasolabial folds) and mouth to chin (marionette lines). These areas can be treated with Radiesse® to plump up what time has taken away. The goal is to minimize shadows on the face and restore natural contours, not overdo things. Radiesse® is a dermal filler made up of microspheres of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA). This filler adds volume while simultaneously stimulating the production of collagen. Over time, the body absorbs the gel, leaving behind the body’s own natural collagen.

“Dr. Rocheford and her staff made me feel valued, comfortable and confident in my decision to go ahead with a tummy tuck, arm lift and breast lift. I could not be happier with the results. I am now about a year post-op and loving having a shape again! I had lost about 70 pounds and had so much extra skin. Everything is back where it belongs.
On the two days I had surgery, the staff made it feel more like a spa day than major surgery. The instructions for care after the procedure were clear and I had access to a nurse if I had any questions. I highly recommend you look at her before and after gallery if you are considering plastic surgery.”
“The results exceeded my expectations. They coached me through the entire process and I’m extremely happy I decided to do the surgery. They are perfectionist. The best. Thank you for the beautiful results.”
