4D™ Facelift
A technology that makes aging graceful.
4D Facelift directly targets each cause of facial aging to achieve smooth, rejuvenated skin that appears natural and unoperated.
Dr. Athré's engineering background and keen surgical skills have allowed him to create a procedure designed for full face rejuvenation, while still allowing it to be done under local anesthesia comfortably and safely.
"I feel so much better about myself and just have a better outlook on everything because my self-esteem feels much better."
What is the 4D™ Facelift?
4D™ Facelift is a facelift specifically developed by facelift expert, Dr. Raghu Athré.
Our Houston 4D™ Facelift procedure addresses the three categories of facial aging:
- Sagging tissue
- Loss of volume
- Loss of skin elasticity and poor texture
Most patients incorrectly think that a facelift by itself will correct all aging related issues in the face. A facelift’s primary role is to lift sagging tissues. By properly lifting tissues with a deep plane facelift, you will see some improvements in the other two categories: loss of volume, and loss of skin elasticity and texture. However, if volume loss is severe or skin aging is severe, additional procedures are necessary.
This image depicts severe sagging of tissues with deepened nasolabial folds; moderate to severe loss of volume in tear trough, temples, and prejowl sulcus; and moderate to severe skin damage likely due to sun exposure. The woman in the image will be helped with a deep plane facelift. But, her additional aging related issues will not be repaired with solely a lift.
The 4D™ Facelift technique is designed to take a holistic view of the face and achieve comprehensive full facial rejuvenation that addresses all of these concerns. The 4D™ Facelift was designed after 10 years of research to comprehensively address facial aging, by Dr. Raghu Athré in Houston, Texas. With blending of techniques, Dr. Athré has now been offering the 4D™ Facelift under local anesthesia.
Patients have traveled from all the surrounding states, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Europe and the Middle East to Houston to have their 4D™ Facelift performed by Dr. Athré.
