Facelift
A facelift typically focuses on the lower two-thirds of the face, an area where many people say they first notice signs of aging. When performed by an experienced facelift specialist, the surgery creates a refreshed, more youthful appearance. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Rockmore performs facelift procedures at his Latham, NY, practice to help Albany County men and women reveal their most vital and rejuvenated selves.
Long considered the “go-to” facial rejuvenation procedure for men and women, today’s facelifts yield better, more natural-looking results than ever before. A facelift is an excellent, lasting way to address jawline and neck sagging, restore cheek volume, and minimize wrinkles or folds.

Are You a Candidate for a Facelift?
Dr. Rockmore’s Latham facelift patients are a diverse group. Because aging occurs at different rates for everyone, patients typically range in age from their 40s to their 70s and include men and women who are looking to correct concerns such as:
- Displaced fat and sagging tissue along the jawline (jowls)
- Lost volume and lax skin in the cheeks
- “Turkey wattle” and a lack of definition in the neck
- Lines, folds, and wrinkles around the nose, mouth, and chin
During your consultation, Dr. Rockmore evaluates the condition of your skin and talks to you about your lifestyle and your desired results.
Plastic surgeons’ understanding of aging continues to evolve and improve. We now understand that in addition to gravity causing areas of our face to loosen and fall, there are also volume changes that occur. Dr. Rockmore takes this into account when planning your facial rejuvenation surgery. By restoring volume with your facelift, your face will not be unnaturally taut but will instead be lifted and made to look youthful.
Why Choose Dr. Rockmore for Facelift Surgery
- Experience with thousands of facial surgical procedures
- Individualized approach with each facelift tailored to your unique needs
- Natural-looking results that help you look great without anyone knowing you had something done
Types of Facelifts
Because every face is unique, an individualized approach needs to be taken with your face to get the best and most natural-looking results. Dr. Rockmore offers a true spectrum of options rather than a few discrete facelift methods, and he can guide you in finding the right choice for you.
There are many types of facelifts, just as there are many types and shapes of faces and different signs of aging.
Traditional Facelift
A facelift (also called rhytidectomy) fully addresses and improves the advanced signs of aging in the face and neck. Dr. Rockmore repositions the underlying tissue and muscle and then removes excess skin. By lifting the tissue to avoid tension on the skin, the results look natural instead of like you had “work” done.
Mini Facelift
For some men and women with early signs of aging, a mini facelift may be all that is needed. This can be done as either an office procedure or at the surgery center near Dr. Rockmore’s office. A mini facelift is best used when most of the aging changes are in the cheek area and the neck is fairly well preserved. It has limited recovery time and is sometimes referred to as a “weekend lift.”
Liquid Facelift
For patients who are unsure whether a surgical approach is for them, Dr. Rockmore performs liquid facelifts using a combination of BOTOX® Cosmetic and injectable fillers such as JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC and JUVÉDERM®. The liquid facelift is perfect for patients looking to treat early signs of aging who would prefer little to no downtime for recovery. Patients can expect to see their facial volume restored and wrinkles and fine lines diminished.

Face & Neck Lift
When there are more changes from aging and the neck requires improvement, a face and neck lift is the best option. In this procedure, the cheeks are elevated back into their youthful position by adjusting the SMAS layer. This is a layer of tissue beneath the skin that is used to lift the facial structures without placing tension on the skin. This avoids the pulled or tight look that can be associated with older facelifts. The neck tissues are tightened to restore the jawline and the angle of the neck.
Facelift With Fat Grafts
Transferring fat as part of a facelift helps improve the appearance of your cheeks, lips, under the eyes, smile lines, and more. This technique uses your own fat to restore the volume lost in the aging process. Because it is your own natural tissue, much of the restored volume remains for years. Dr. Rockmore limits the amount of fat used, creating improvement but avoiding an unnatural, over-filled face.
Combination Procedures
During your consultation, Dr. Rockmore can also recommend whether you might benefit from any additional procedures, such as eyelid surgery or nonsurgical skin treatments. His patients frequently combine their facelifts with other options for a more comprehensive and natural-looking transformation.
Dr. Rockmore can tailor these techniques to meet your individual needs and expectations. With these options, we can maximize your results while minimizing your recovery time.
How Is Facelift Surgery Performed?
Facelift surgery is performed while you are under either sedation (twilight anesthesia) or general anesthesia, administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist to ensure your safety and comfort. During the procedure at the surgery center near our office, Dr. Rockmore typically makes incisions along the hairline and near the ears. These incisions fade to discreet scars that are easily concealed beneath a variety of hairstyles. He may also make a small incision beneath the chin to tighten and tone the neck. Prior to your procedure, Dr. Rockmore will discuss your incision locations with you to ensure you have a complete understanding of your likely outcome.
Once he makes the incisions, Dr. Rockmore surgically tightens and adjusts lax or weakened muscles. He may also remove small fat deposits with the aid of liposuction. Finally, Dr. Rockmore redrapes the skin and removes any excess for a smooth result. He then closes the incisions with sutures. He may also apply a small surgical drain behind the ear to prevent fluid buildup (seroma) during the healing process.
“I am so pleased with your results—you have changed my life for the better!”

What Is Facelift Recovery Like?
A facelift by Dr. Rockmore is an outpatient procedure, and you’ll need a trusted friend or family member to drive you home following surgery. Although you’ll experience some soreness during the first few days after surgery, discomfort is manageable with prescribed medications. Dr. Rockmore does not use any bandages, and he advises patients to keep their heads elevated at all times, including at night, to minimize swelling and facilitate proper healing. Patients can shower and wash their hair the day after surgery.
After about a week, Dr. Rockmore removes sutures at a follow-up appointment, although swelling and bruising may persist during this time. Most patients feel confident enough to return to work and other light daily activities after about 2 weeks. Patients can resume more strenuous activities, such as working out, with Dr. Rockmore’s clearance.
You will work with his estheticians to speed the recovery process, including through the use of vitamins and lymphatic drainage massage. Makeup artists in Dr. Rockmore’s office will also help you hide any bruising while it resolves, and they’ll teach you techniques to highlight your new look.
Dr. Rockmore understands the importance of subtlety in facelift surgery, and he strives to give each patient the results he or she wants. For most people, this means looking like a younger, more refreshed version of themself. By practicing healthy skincare habits and avoiding significant weight fluctuations, you can enjoy the results of your facelift for many years.

Dr. Rockmore did my breast reduction 8 weeks ago and I honestly couldn’t be happier. I was nervous at first but he answered all of my questions and his team was there every step of the way. I wasn’t expecting to be so happy with my results this soon. My life is forever changed for the better!

I asked Dr. Rockmore to correct eyelid surgery to correct droopy lids. I had with a previous doctor who left me with very asymmetrical eyelids. I was afraid to trust another doctor. I am so glad I found Dr. Rockmore! He was kind, gentle, took his time and did a great job considering the state of my eyelids. After months had passed I went back to him because I felt I had too much skin leftover. He fixed it right away. I am very happy with his work. He is also an expert on botox and fillers.

I had a rhinoplasty done exactly a month ago and could not be happier with my results. Even after two weeks I was satisfied and every week gets better and better. My nose was left looking natural AND just how I wanted it. Dr. Rockmore made sure I understood all throughout the procedure and honestly there could not be a nicer crew. They genuinely care about your results. Truly, truly 10/10 service

Dr. Rockmore was absolutely fantastic! He did my mommy makeover and I couldn’t be happier with the results! I never felt rushed during my consultations and office visits. He took his time and addressed every question I had. Very personable which makes you feel comfortable and at ease. My surgery went smoothly and I finally feel like I am on my way to having my pre-pregnancy body back. I’m only 3.5 weeks post-op but I already love what I see!!

Brittney is so sweet, gave me such a thorough consultation and went over my entire skincare routine, pointing out what areas she thought I could improve on, before we even got to the facial and peel! During the facial she explained what she was doing (and why she was doing it) every step of the way. I love the results of the chemical peel and her magical hands. I felt very comfortable and relaxed in her care and will absolutely return.

Dr. Rockmore did my breast reduction 11 years ago and they still look great! I was 50 at the time. It’s never too late!
Nov 12, 2019
When I went to Dr. Rockmore to have my first consultation for my breast reduction, I wasn’t sure to expect and to be honest, I was very nervous. The concept of going to a plastic surgeon was something that had always been intimidating to me because, in my mind, it was something only wealthy people got to do, so I wasn’t sure what to expect from the staff and the doctor himself. I was pleasantly surprised with how amazing everyone was! I had such a wonderful experience! From the time I began my journey to my alteration, I never felt uncomfortable and always felt that I was treated with the utmost respect and kindness. It felt like we were a team, all of us were rooting for the same positive outcome (and I swear there were a few times that we almost high fived). Throughout the process, everything was explained in detail and they made sure I understood. Everyone answered any question I had, even the silly ones, and never made me feel silly for asking. By the time I underwent my procedure, I was so prepared that I didn’t even feel nervous. When I woke up some time later, I was greeted with more pleasant people, who made sure I remembered all of my next steps for my after care. Once I was able to have a look at the work Dr. Rockmore did, I couldn’t believe it! It was better then I could have ever imagined! My two follow ups were quick and easy. I love my new body so much! I feel so much better and healthier! I have no more pain and get so many compliments! I have since started talking to other people about the positive changes in my life because of this and have recommended Dr. Rockmore to every single person, even if it’s for something else that they talk about wanting or needing to get done. Thank you so much Dr. Rockmore! You and your amazing team have changed my life for the better so much more than you know.

Jeffrey Rockmore makes you feel welcomed, appreciated, and comfortable. Immediately, I knew why he has such an outstanding reputation. More plastic surgeons should take notes from Dr. Rockmore. Not only does he know what he's doing, he is also very personable.

I recently had double eye lift surgery. Dr. Rockmore and his staff were wonderful. From my first visit, surgery, and through my follow up exam they were pleasant, professional, kind and incredibly compassionate. 2 weeks post surgery, my swelling is gone, bruising was minimal. I could not be happier with the results of this entire experience. I know that any other procedure that requires a plastic surgeon, Dr. Rockmore will be my choice. No hesitations. My husband even remarked what a great job Dr. Rockmore did!

Gynecomastia Removal The whole process of finding a doctor to even perform this procedure in/around Albany was tedious. I met with several plastic surgeons prior to meeting with Dr. Rockmore and they either denied me saying “I was too much of a risk to work on” or wanted 7500-10k for gyno removal. I was so desperate I even thought about going to MEXICO to have my gynecomastia removed. Yes, I was going insane lol. Then I met Dr. Rockmore. Right from the very first consultation he was confident he could rid my gynecomastia/glands in both breasts and eliminate the excess fat. He was also very flexible with the pricing on the procedure. He was very polite and explained everything I should know prior to my procedure and what to expect after my procedure was completed. I could tell he is very passionate about his job. He was amazing. Even when my procedure was completed he gave me his personal phone number and told me to text or call him with any concerns that I might have or may arise. Dr. Rockmore gets an A+ in my book and has allowed me to feel confident again when I take my shirt off. Thank you Dr. Rockmore.

I had septoplasty and rhinoplasty done by Dr. Rockmore. I couldn't be happier with the results. I can finally breathe out of my nose after years of struggling with sleep apnea and constant migraines. Dr. Rockmore had great bedside manor and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. There were no surprises, everything he said would happen did. I highly recommend him.
Feb 22, 2019
I can't say enough amazing things about Dr Rockmore and his staff. From the time I made the consultation, the staff made me feel very comfortable and are very knowledgeable. I chose to have liposuction of my abdomen, love handles, flanks and chest. What an amazing job! I can't wait until the swelling is gone and I get to see the full results. I was explained every aspect of the procedure, and was never pressured into getting anything I didn't want. I was even given the Drs personal phone number to reach out to any time after my procedure. If you are looking for cosmetic work in the capital region, I highly recommend Rockmore Plastic Surgery. Thank you so much Dr Rockmore and Staff!
Feb 22, 2019
I had a brief encounter with Dr. Rockmore as I was only there for a quick Botox appointment but from what I gathered he seems incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I instantly felt comfortable with him! I really love that he is so active on social media it definitely made me feel more confident going to him as a first time patient as I had already seen a lot of his work. I will definitely be back!

Dr. Rockmore is an amazing plastic surgeon and I always highly recommend him to anyone seeking plastic surgery or reconstructive surgery. Dr. Rockmore really is an amazing man as well, always very friendly, knowledgeable, compassionate, and thorough. I am a breast cancer survivor and Dr. Rockmore performed more than a few surgeries on me, and honestly I looked forward to each one! I always knew I was in good hands and he was very supportive through the long journey! His staff was also very sweet as I can recall-it’s been 12 years, and I’m still in awe at what an amazing plastic surgeon he is and how he gave me the courage to go through the process! Thanks Dr. Rockmore!!! ❤️
Jan 1, 2019
I absolutely love Jeffrey Rockmore. I will hands down go to him for any other plastic surgery I have. He did my breast lift after being a young mother I wanted to feel my age. He absolutely did that for me. I went to other consultations and was back and forth on if I wanted the surgery. They were so pushy to get me to schedule for surgery. Jeffrey made sure to answer any questions I had and didn’t push me into doing anything. He also fixed my old belly button scar at the same time. He did exactly what I wanted when other surgeons said that they couldn’t do it. 10/10 recommend him. He will go beyond your expectations and make you feel so comfortable before and after surgery.

Dr Rockmore is personable, compassionate and a very talented surgeon. He is a perfectionist with all his work. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t loved their results. He is that wonderful!!
Dec 21, 2018
Dr Rockmore does great work. 4 weeks in and so happy with the work he has done. I made an initial consult and decided on surgery for rhinoplasty etc. At my initial appointment Dr. Rockmore was patient, kind and knowledgeable. As the surgery approached I was feeling more apprehensive with more concerns so I asked to meet with him again. He didn't even blink and eye at another consult . He was very supportive and patient. The day of surgery he was again gentle and reassuring. To add to that, your staff has been equally caring and supportive. Post surgery no pain with really no issues. Liz, Cate and Kathleen are all very nice and supportive as well as Brittany in the salon. Overall, Dr. Rockmore did exactly what I asked and I am thrilled with the results. I look natural and refreshed, not fake or unrecognizable. The entire experience from beginning to end thus far has been nothing less than top notch. Thank you all very much!!
Dec 13, 2018
Dr. Rockmore is the best! I absolutely love my results from my breast augmentation surgery. I'm very happy he was recommended to me. Scheduling everything from the consultation, right up until the day of the surgery was extremely stress free. Everyone in his office are extremely nice & make sure to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Dr. Rockmore is extremely knowledgable and made sure I knew every detail of the surgery and that all my questions were answered. I couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish!

Dr. Rockmore is AMAZING. I did consults at other places and they were very quit to tell me what THEY thought i should fix, which made me feel terrible about myself. Dr. Rockmore asked what I wanted and we went from there. I felt so at ease and comfortable and could tell he really cared. I had a full mommy makeover and could not be happier with the results! Even the follow up has been fantastic. I can contact Dr. Rockmore any time with questions, even 8pm on a Saturday when i thought there was something wrong with my belly button! Liz is also super helpful and accommodating with things. Nurses were also all very kind and sympathetic. Also a shout out to Joni who does the lymphatic massages. So sweet and great at what she does. I look fabulous and LOVE my new confidence. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE

Where do I begin? Dr Rockmore is simply amazing, in every way. He’s personable, knowledgeable, and is incredibly in tune with his patients. I wouldn’t dare let any other plastic surgeon near me, when you know you have best, why go elsewhere?

My experience with Dr. Rockmore and his patient care cordinator went beyond my expectations. I spent a year researching plastic surgeons before my consultation and surgery. This was a decision I did not take lightly. Dr. Rockmore triumphed all of my worries and concerns. His kind and caring demeanor is genuine, and he goes above and beyond for his patients. My results have changed my life and I couldn't be happier to have chosen someone like Dr. Rockmore to help me make this change.

Had a wonderful experience with Dr. Rockmore and his staff. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. I underwent a breast augmentation following a lumpectomy and he was very patient with all of my questions and concerns, even following surgery.

Dr. Rockmore is an amazing surgeon who is very knowledgeable, honest, and has a wonderful bedside manner. I had a breast reduction completed by Dr. Rockmore in April 2018 and was so impressed with the staff in the office and the care I received after the procedure. Dr. Rockmore did an amazing job and I am beyond pleased with the results. I live 300 miles away from Albany and Dr. Rockmore was so worth the drive.
Jun 1, 2018
I had a rhinoplasty done by Dr. Rockmore, and it was an awesome experience. He is professional, a good listener, and an artist. He straightened my nose, which had a large bump for all of my life, and retained my frontal view, i.e., enhanced my look without taking away any of my positive attributes. Office personnel are also awesome. Highly recommend Dr. Rockmore, a trustworthy and caring person.
May 13, 2018
After having 3 children in under 4 years my body was not what it used to be and I wanted desperately to get it back and enhance. I spent many hours searching the web looking through hundreds of photos and reading tons of testimonials and that is how I came across Dr. Rockmore. Although the office was a few hours from where I lived it was well worth the trip. My first visit with Dr. Rockmore I was very nervous but as soon as he walked into the room I felt at ease. He patiently listened to what I was looking to achieve and answered any questions that I had. He was very genuine, professional, honest, knowledgable and confident. He is one of those people that you feel as if you have met before. I knew that he was the right choice and decided to go through with my "Mommy makeover". which included a breast augmentation and a Tummy tuck with muscle repair. I booked a surgery date without hesitation right there. The process, the staff, the surgery and the recovery (so far) have been nothing short of amazing. I lLOVE my results and will more than likely be back for other improvements someday. Dr. Rockmore and his staff are top notch and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Thank you Dr Rockmore, you most definitely lived up to your reputation. I'm sure I will be back in the future.

Dr Rockmore is not only an amazing surgeon, but he has the best bedside manner. I was extremely afraid when I went for my first consult on a mommy makeover, so naturally I forgot half of the questions I wanted to ask. I went back a second time, for another consultation, armed with a million questions and a lot of tears. He took the time to sit with me and answer each question with genuine care, concern and honesty. The day of my surgery, I was a mess. He actually held my hand and spoke to me in such a calm and comforting way. It was so refreshing to have a Dr. see you as a human being and treat you with compassion and empathy. I know a lot of people will write in reviews, how glad they are that they had whatever surgery they had done. I am also tremendously satisfied with the outcome of my surgery, but kind, compassionate Dr.’s are hard to come by! Thanks Dr. Rockmore for being an amazing surgeon and a great person!

His staff was very sweet and any questions I had pre or post surgery they where very happy to make sure I had the answeres I need and understood everything!! I will deffently use him again when I need!!!

I literally cannot say enough of how every single person considering any plastic surgery should see Dr. Rockmore. I am beyond impressed with his capability of making one feel comfortable and my results from him are absolutely commendable. Two thumbs up, if I had three thumbs i'd give three.

My daughter had rhinoplasty done November 2017 and he did an amazing job. Not only that but he explains everything in detail and cares...no question unanswered and office follows up several times to check up on you at home. Procedure went flawless..he even came to me personally in waiting room to tell me my daughter was ok and everything went perfect. Something a very nervous mom needs! No other dr in that out patient surgery center did that to anyone else. The results two months later just keep getting better bc it takes time to see true results. Couldn’t be happier and HIGHLY recommend if your looking for this type of procedure. Oh, and he’s easy on the eyes too, which helps, lol.

Extremely satisfied with my results! I spent the last five years either pregnant or nursing and it took a toll on my body. Dr. Rockmore patiently explained my surgical options, provided mindful guidance and proactively managed my expectations. I could not be happier with the results and I am so glad that I took some time to take care of ME. Dr. Rockmore continued to provide support and feedback post-op and was more than willing to address any questions that came up. You can't go wrong with him!

Outcome was beyond expectation. Primary assistant was also superb. I can't imagine anyone giving 1 star. Surgery Aug 2017

I chose Dr. Rockmore for breast augmentation surgery after having done considerable due diligence. Why? The consistency of the nature of the praise received from other patients which, based upon my experience, is both well deserved and accurate. The entire process from start to finish was the perfect blend of professionalism and warmth from both Dr. Rockmore and his entire staff and, most importantly, I could not be more pleased with the results. He listened to what I wanted and that is exactly the result I achieved.

After having 3 kids I came to Dr. Rockmore for a Mommy Makeover. He came very highly recommended by several people and absolutely lived up to his reputation! He made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process and the results are above and beyond what I hoped for. I look better than I did before kids! I am so happy to feel comfortable in my own skin again. Everything about Dr. Rockmore, the staff and the facilities exceeded my expectations.
Aug 21, 2017
Dr. Rockmore is amazing!! Super professional, kind, candid. with a great personality. He takes his time with you. You never feel rushed. The prices are clear and the staff is friendly and very helpful. The Practice is modern, pristine and top notch.

Dr. Rockmore is an excellent doctor, He answered all of my questions and concerns. If you are considering plastic surgery, I highly recommend a consultation with him.

I had breast augmentation, dr rockmore was so professional and honest about everything. He gave me the look I have dreamed of for years! he gave me the confidence I never had! I'm beyond grateful! I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants breast augmentation!
Feb 28, 2017
Dr. Rockmore is amazing!! I had lost a great deal amount of weight and had decided on getting a tummy tuck. His bedside manner is second to none. He made me feel very at ease the entire time. I am 6 weeks post surgery and feel better than I have in years. He did an absolutely fantastic job and would highly recommend him to anyone.
Feb 16, 2017
Dr.Rockmore is an amazing artist! I had a full lipoabdominoplasty with hernia repair and I have to say for the first time in 22 years I am finally comfortable in my own skin! With many plastic surgeons to choose from in my area I definitely made the perfect choice! His staff was very polite and kind since my very first visit. I would highly recommend Dr.Rockmore for anyone in search of brilliance!!!
Feb 14, 2017
Dr. Rockmore is extremely professional, talented, and caring. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Rockmore, he did an amazing job on my breast lift with implants. From the very beginning I felt extremely comfortable and felt that he understood what I was looking for as my end results. Dr. Rockmore and his assistant were extremely accommodating and kind every step of the way. Never once did I feel like he was pushing me one way or another to ultimately spend more money, unfortunately other surgeons do act that way so it was a breath of fresh air having Dr. Rockmore's ultimate goal be my happiness. I am so happy with my end results and highly recommend Dr. Rockmore. Before surgery I knew he would do a good job, but when I finally got to look at my breasts after surgery I was overjoyed with the results.

True Body Sculpting Artist- I had an Abdominoplasty in December 2016. I must say that I am more than pleased with the results. I had bulging in my tummy area after having 4 children. Since the surgery, I now have my pre-pregnancy tummy. Dr. Rockmore and his staff are knowledgeable, caring, and professional. He is definitely skilled in his work!
Nov 27, 2016
Dr. Rockmore is always pleasant and caring. I am a more high maintenance patient (pain and I are not friends) he was available after hours and even provided his personal cell phone for my husband to send him photos of an area of my tummy tuck (which included lipo) that I was concerned about. He was quick to respond and I was relieved that it was just redness from my binder. I highly recommend Dr. Rockmore. His staff is also awesome, they treated us kindly and with efficiency. Dr. Rockmore is professional, personable and in my opinion an expect in his field. I will use him for all future procedures. I look forward to seeing he and his staff soon!
Sep 25, 2016
First and foremost I want to say how pleased I am with the results thus far with my abdominoplasty with lipo, breast lift, and breast augmentation. (Mommy makeover) With words alone I cannot express how life-changing this experience has been for me. I am a mom of four children and I can honestly say for the first time since having them I feel feminine, genuinely beautiful, and comfortable in my own skin. Dr. Rockmore is an incredibly talented plastic surgeon and has helped me achieve the exact look I was hoping for. From his professionalism, expertise, and empathetic bedside manner, along with his great sense of humor; he is an all around an amazing doctor. You can feel his passion and love for his work radiating from him. Both him and his nurses/staff were kind, professional and knowledgeable. Since the moment I made my consultation appointment, everyone made me feel comfortable and understood. They always made time for my many questions and concerns, providing me with peace of mind. I cannot thank Dr. Rockmore enough for his time and his beautiful work. "Confidence IS beautiful" and the Plastic Surgery Group helped me feel beautiful again. THANK YOU!

I knew I was choosing Dr. Rockmore even before I had my consultation with him based on a few women I know who had their breast augmentation with him. As an RN at Albany Med I work with a lot of doctors from many different specialties every day and I have to say Dr. Rockmore is by far top three of the most caring and compassionate health care providers I've ever come across. He is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares about his patients. He listens to them and answers every single question they have even if it takes an extra 30 minutes of his time. I never though I would be this happy with breast implants but it was the best thing I've ever done for myself. I can honestly say I trust him with my life when going under general anesthesia to have plastic surgery. In my opinion he should either have his own medical show or join the television show Botched on E! News with Drs. John Nassif and Terry Dubrow. No doubt there are plenty of amazing plastic surgeons out there but if you're in the capital region and you don't chose Dr. Rockmore as your plastic surgeon then you probably shouldn't have plastic surgery.

Dr. Jeffrey Rockmore is nothing short of fantastic. I am 50 yrs old and have a stressful, sedentary job. I work 12-18 hours a day, most of it, sitting down. Inevitably weight gain occurred over the years. I tried diets and exercise which work for people who work 9-5 M-F. I sought out Dr. Rockmore for a "Tummy Tuck". It was a huge decision that was well thought out. Not only is his skill as a surgeon 2nd to none, his bedside manner in reassuring all my fears and concerns is also 2nd to none. I'm 6 months post surgery and I am so grateful to him. He is a true professional, an excellent surgeon, and just a nice guy. Thank you Dr. Rockmore for everything you did for me!
Aug 15, 2016
Dr. Rockmore has a very kind and calming demeanor. I was excited, yet apprehensive, about my face/chin lift; his pleasant and reassuring manner eased my apprehension. I knew he was knowledgeable based on my research; however it was his smile, listening skills, and confidence that made me choose him for the surgery. I would recommend Dr. Rockmore if you are seeking a positive change in your appearance. - Marion

I saw Dr Rockmore after I had lost 200 pounds from WLS, the 1st surgery I had 15 pounds of extra skin removed. It was a big change and Dr Rockmore did wonders at removing all that skin, Then 1 year later I went back again since my wife and I were so pleased I had more extra skin removed and this time it was 6 pounds removed.
Jun 16, 2016
I had a great experience with Dr. Rockmore. The work he did was excellent and he is has a very good bedside manor. I'm very pleased with my results and would definitely recommend him to others.
May 12, 2016
Doctor Rockmore has extensive knowledge and a depth of experience and a keen ability to meet unexpected contingencies. I saw firsthand while undergoing my procedure his great skill and calm demeanor. The Plastic Surgery Group at Patroon Creek is a beautiful place to visit. When you first walk in it has an aura of quiet beauty. The staff and nurses are most welcoming when you arrive. Everyone is remarkable:- attentive, caring, intelligent, thoughtful and kind! I wish to thank and acknowledge RN Kathleen and RN Kaylie and the nurses who assisted in my post Op care, i.e., RN Susan for removing my stitches with gentle skill and patience and Christine’s lymphatic massage with her soft and gentle touch. What a great person! I wish to warmly thank and acknowledge all the OR nurses who assisted Dr. Rockmore throughout my surgery: Jane, Megan, Gwen, Kathy, Elise and Diane. These great women were truly remarkable:- attentive, caring, quick thinking, alert and KIND to me! I also wish to warmly thank the staff, especially Jacolyn, Linda and Anne, and dear Liz who guided me through the steps. These great women were so attentive, thoughtful and helpful to me. My surgery had a successful and pleasing outcome. I love my new look! Thank you, Thank you! I shall not soon forget each of you – you are the A Team! With every good wish, Dori Brown May 12, 2016

I sought the expertise of Dr Rockmore following a significant weight loss that left me with excess skin in several places. Immediately following my initial consult I was sold! Dr Rockmore and his staff were wonderful from start to finish. I'm currently two weeks out from my procedures (Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck, Brachioplasty & breast lift and augmentation) and I couldn't be happier. I would recommend Dr Rockmore to anyone seeking a caring, professional and extremely competent surgeon.

I had top surgery and a body lift with liposuction.I tried to go in with little expectation but of course I wanted the world and more. I was shocked when my results were better than i imagined! Dr.Rockmore did an awesome job! He told me only 20lbs would be lost but that it was the tightness and lost skin that would maka a difference. I lost closer to 30 after the swelling went down but I lost two pants and two shirt sizes. My top did not hurt at all, I could have been back to daily life the next day and my scars are very thin lines. The scar on my belly is below my boxer line and is not that bad but the recovery was very painful. I was not prepared for the amount of pain but nothing the Doctor could have said would have prepared me. Liposuction is like a numbing and burning sensation, it creates extra sensitivity, I still dont have all the feeling back in my butt area but I would not change my decision to have the surgery! Dr.Rockmore was very pleasant and efficient, he works to please! I would deffinetly reccomend him to others looking for a change in body shape and top removal/reduction.
Feb 29, 2016
I recently went to Dr. Rockmore for a breast augmentation. I couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend him! The procedure was quick and the recovery was not bad. I went back to work 5 days later.
Feb 24, 2016
I would recommend Dr. Rockmore to all of my friends and family as I had a great experience. I went to Dr. Rockmore for my 3rd consultation for my breast revision. I ended up having surgery with him and I have absolutely no regrets. He is a well respected physician, very skilled and is eager to make you happy! His staff is also amazing and makes you feel very comfortable.

I spent a long time researching breast augmentation procedures and plastic surgeons. I found Dr. Rockmore at The Plastic Surgery Group. It was a bit of a drive from my house, but it was worth it. Dr. Rockmore is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He is realistic about the appropriate size and type of implant based upon each person's body type. The surgery and recovery were quick and I have minimal scarring that is fading. I would highly reccomend Dr. Rockmore to anyone considering plastic surgery.
Dec 22, 2015
I researched breast lift and augmentation surgeons for many months and after several different consultations decided on Dr. Rockmore. He was kind yet knowledgeable without being unrealistic about false promises and what I could expect. I would consider myself to be an extreme case of breast sage and deflation. I have very thin tissue like skin that was stretched to the max. After spending the needed time with us and suggesting type and size of implants our surgery was scheduled just 2 weeks later. The results so far have been truly amazing. Only 4 weeks post op the scars are already just thin lines and barely even discolored. the implants are settling in nicely and I am starting to even have a little bit of cleavage which we weren't sure would happen because of my breast being naturally so far apart. His Staff was amazing, especially Liz who took any stress of the logistics right out of our hands. Would highly recommend Dr. Rockmore and his staff.

Back in 2002, I decided on another Dr. in the Plastic Surgery Group for a LeJour breast reduction. On the day of my surgery, Dr. Rockmore walked in. I was told that the procedure had better results with two doctors operating simultaneously. (I don't think this is true. . . I think Dr. Rockmore was training the other Dr. in this technique.) The result was that I had identical surgery on both breasts, but with different doctors. Coming out of anesthesia, my first question was "Who did which side?" It was amazing how well the scars healed on Dr. Rockmore's side in comparison with the other Dr. - where part of the incision actually became infected! Six years later, when diagnosed with breast cancer and facing a double mastectomy with reconstruction, I knew who my Dr. would be: Dr. Rockmore. I had five surgeries in 2008/2009: Double mastectomy with reconstruction, implant exchange, nipple/areola reconstruction, and two minor scar revisions for keloids. Dr. Rockmore's scars heal beautifully. Some are not even noticeable. This fall (2015) I was again faced with revision surgery, due to implant slippage. Dr. Rockmore did an implant exchange so I now have the new "teardrop" silicone implants, he added slings to prevent slippage, and he removed some fat from my thighs to fill in some concave areas in my upper chest. As a result, I now have more natural cleavage and better decollatage. This was a more intense surgery than I anticipated, but the results are beautiful. Listen, here's the thing. . . Dr. Rockmore is very honest and up-front about how different people heal differently. Bodies are different. He is an artist who does his best to achieve gorgeous and natural results. However, sometimes challenges cannot be anticipated. If you decide to have surgery, you need to go into it realizing that you need to be an active participant not only in your medical decisions, but in the effectiveness of your healing. Besides the obvious things like not smoking and drinking - you need to take exercise restrictions seriously. Give your body the time it needs to heal. Take care of your incisions and your skin. Be an active participant in your results. I've learned this after so many surgeries! That said, I adore Nancy, who books his appointments and handles insurance questions. She's a bit hard to get on the phone, but she always answers my messages in a timely fashion. Once in the beautiful offices, your appointments are handled quickly (no wasted time sitting, often embarrassed, in the waiting room) and his nurses are SUPURB. Nurse Cathy Hogan has especially seen me in some awkward situations, and her empathy (not to mention her adroit skill in removing stitches) is amazing. They helped make me not dread my appointments so much, all the nurses are so forthcoming and helpful. Dr. Rockmore will give you honest answers to delicate questions. I've seen results from other breast cancer patients who went to other doctors, and I always think my scars are the most beautiful. Don't wait - have a consultation.

Dr. Rockmore is absolutely superb; an artist and a perfectionist. My results are nothing short of phenomenal and I would highly recommend him to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. He is attentive, patient and very open to any questions or concerns. I knew after the initial consult that he was "my guy". I am now a patient for life.
Nov 2, 2015
My experience with Dr. Rockmore and The Plastic Surgey Group was very good. I found the office to be clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly and helpful. I chose to have a breast lift and augmentation after having five children --it was high time for some mom tlc. Dr. Rockmore did a fabulous job. The healing time was as expected. The result is very natural and lovely. I enjoy the way clothes fit my body now and I feel comfortable and confident. Dr. Rockmore is caring and compassionate. My only regret is waiting so long.
Nov 2, 2015
Dr. Rockmore is impeccable in his care and concern for his patients. He is meticulous, courteous and gifted in his skills as a surgeon. As a physician, he makes you feel very comfortable and explains everything, leaving no stone unturned! Dr. Rockmore offers the most current trends for the best results. As a patient, I would, and continue to recommend all of my family and friends to his practice. He has an extraordinary staff!
Nov 2, 2015
I have been a patient of Dr. Rockmore's for ten years. I have watched the practice grow to the point of needing a bigger building! One thing that hasn't changed is the "less is more" mentality. There is a new trend of quiet, simple beauty vs. flashy distractions. I call it elegance. Dr. Rockmore has always taken the approach of natural looking results for confidence and ease with one's body. Growing older happens and I accept that but I refuse to throw my hands up. Over the years I received real value for the price of treatment, had no unusual pain or healing issues and I have no regrets. I feel that Dr. Rockmore is truly caring and considerate. I believe he listens well and is 100% involved in my care. The atmoshere at The Plastic Surgery Group is not clinical--it is Spa-like. I recommend a consult with Dr. Rockmore and his staff. Positivity begets positivity! Thank you Dr. R!
Nov 2, 2015
I have visited Dr. Rockmore for various issues throughout the years. I find that he is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in his trade. More importantly, he is honest, friendly, and trustworthy. Dr. Rockmoretakes the time to counsel his patients and one never feels rushed during an appointment. The office itself is cutting edge and the entire operation runs smoothly. I would highly recommend Dr. Rockmore to anyone.
May 12, 2015
Dr. RockMore is Amazing!!!. He is cute, friendly, smart, and makes you feel confident going into your life changing decision. He was my third consultation for breast implants with a lift..the second doctor i went to scared me half to death by telling me he was not the right candidate for such a risky procedure. The first doctors before and after pictures looked scary. Lifts are different than just implants because the nipple has to be relocated and doctors have to eyeball the nipple symmetry. But doctor RockMore told me he does breast lifts with implants every week and that i had nothing to fear. I told him i wanted a really small size implant for my stature, and he suggested a quiet bigger size despite my height, and thank goodness i listened to him.. He really knows his stuff... He said if you go to small you will have a really big gap in between your breasts. I asked him if he could keep the size of my areola, because after so much research on breast lifts that i did i would notice that more than half the after pictures the girls nipple sizes would change along with the color and shape. I am 7 days post-op so far, and i love my breasts. My nipples are symmetrical, my nipples have stayed the same color, size, shape and texture, and my size is perfect, they are perky and they feel great! i will be returning to Dr RockMore for a tummy tuck next year not only because he produces wonderful results but he just makes me feel that comfortable, confident, welcome and like my money will be well spent! Also, not only is he amazing, but the staff at American Plastic Surgery are too. Clean, sleek office with very warm friendly faces. I called twice during my week recovery and spoke to a nurse on call and they never made me feel like my questions were stupid or that i was bothering them . i was told to call anytime with any questions or concerns at the end of each call! Hands down, great doctor and great service!
Apr 9, 2015
I had a tummy tuck procedure done by dr rockmore and I'm extremely pleased with the outcome of the surgery. Everything dr rockmore said was true for example he said the scar was going to be low and thin and the pain wouldn't be that bad. He was right I stopped taking the prescribed pain killers by the next day and started taking ibuprofen. I would recommend dr rockmore to my friends and family

I have not has surgery yet. I had an initial consultation and have scheduled surgery.
