Signature Procedures 

Deep Plane Lower Facelift

What it is: The deep plane lower facelift is the most comprehensive surgical approach to facial rejuvenation, addressing aging at the structural level by repositioning the deeper layers of the face rather than simply tightening the skin, delivering natural, long-lasting results. 

Why Dr. Roy is notable for this procedure: 

  • Dr. Roy has performed nearly 600 deep plane lower facelifts over the course of his career, at a pace of two to three procedures per week, with a self-evolved hybrid technique combining deep plane surgery with a high SMAS approach that he has continuously refined throughout his practice. 
  • He pioneered the drainless facelift technique using fibrin glue, eliminating surgical drains while reducing hematoma risk and minimizing post-operative bruising — an approach he has refined since fellowship training. 
  • Every facelift at RefinedMD is performed by Dr. Roy alone, start to finish, with no delegation to fellows or surgical assistants, a standard that directly preserves the consistency of surgical judgment across every case. 
  • He operates a model of one facelift case per surgical day, a deliberate choice that prioritizes surgical precision and post-operative availability over throughput.

Deep Structural Neck Lift 

What it is: The deep structural neck lift addresses the underlying glands, muscles, and deep fat compartments of the neck that standard facelift techniques do not fully treat, producing a level of neck definition that cannot be achieved through surface-only approaches. 

Why Dr. Roy is notable for this procedure: 

  • Dr. Roy is among the few surgeons who perform deep structural neck lift on a consistent basis, with a regional reputation that draws patients from across California and nationally, built on a conviction that the neck is the most critical and most commonly undertreated element of facial rejuvenation. 
  • He pioneered the drainless neck lift technique using fibrin glue — one of a small number of surgeons in the Bay Area offering this approach — where the anatomical complexity of the neck makes drain elimination an even more meaningful clinical achievement. 
  • Dr. Roy is an early adopter of CoolSeal technology for deep structural neck lift surgery, one of the first facial plastic surgeons in the country to incorporate the device, and is actively educating colleagues in the specialty on its application. 
  • He has authored a published book chapter on the management of the difficult neck, reflecting both the depth of his expertise in this anatomical region and his commitment to advancing how the specialty approaches its most challenging cases.

Lower Blepharoplasty (Trifecta) 

What it is: The Lower Blepharoplasty Trifecta is Dr. Roy’s proprietary multimodal approach to lower eyelid rejuvenation, combining a transconjunctival incision, microfat transfer, and CO2 laser resurfacing in a single procedure completed in under 90 minutes, addressing fat pads, volume loss, and skin quality simultaneously. 

Why Dr. Roy is notable for this procedure: 

  • The Lower Blepharoplasty Trifecta is Dr. Roy’s proprietary creation, developed to address all three components of lower eyelid aging in a single session, producing outcomes that are more natural, more durable, and more comprehensive than any single modality can achieve. 
  • Approximately 60 to 70 percent of Trifecta patients are between the ages of 25 and 35, many presenting with hereditary rather than age-related undereye concerns, reflecting a patient demographic the Trifecta is uniquely positioned to serve. 
  • Dr. Roy is a pioneer of fat grafting in the periocular region, having refined microfat processing and injection techniques that overcome the lumpiness concerns that have historically deterred surgeons from grafting the lower eyelid, using the Dermapose Autologous Fat Processing System to maximize fat quality and graft survival. 
  • The Trifecta has generated a self-sustaining national and international patient pipeline driven by organic peer recommendation, with demand continuing to grow since a patient’s experience went viral on TikTok.

Endoscopic Browlift (Brow Reset) 

What it is: The Brow Reset is a minimally invasive surgical approach to brow repositioning that uses small, hairline-hidden incisions and endoscopic visualization to restore natural brow position and correct brow laxity without the visible signs of a surgical forehead lift. 

Why Dr. Roy is notable for this procedure: 

  • Dr. Roy has performed endoscopic brow repositioning procedures for more than a decade, integrating the procedure into complex facial rejuvenation surgical plans across diverse patient anatomies and age ranges. 
  • Currently 15 to 20 percent of Dr. Roy’s facelift patients include a brow reset as part of their surgical plan, reflecting the natural vertical lifting vector the deep plane technique creates and his clinical judgment on the benefit of the combination. 
  • Dr. Roy’s philosophy is to restore the brow to its youthful position without changing the inherent character of the patient’s brow, producing results patients describe as refreshed rather than altered. 
  • The minimally invasive endoscopic approach means smaller incisions, reduced recovery time, and no visible scarring, making the Brow Reset a procedure that integrates naturally into a surgical plan without significantly adding to the recovery burden of a combined case.

Facial Fat Transfer

What it is: Facial fat transfer uses the patient’s own harvested fat to restore volume, improve contour, and complement surgical outcomes, offering a natural, long-lasting alternative to synthetic fillers that integrates with Dr. Roy’s approach to comprehensive facial rejuvenation. 

Why Dr. Roy is notable for this procedure: 

  • Dr. Roy has been performing microfat grafting for facial volume restoration for more than a decade, with applications spanning the cheeks, temples, tear troughs, and periocular region. 
  • He is a pioneer of fat grafting in the periocular region, having developed and refined modern microfat processing and injection techniques that overcome the lumpiness concerns that have historically made the lower eyelid off-limits for most surgeons. 
  • The Dermapose Autologous Fat Processing System is used at RefinedMD to maximize the quality and viability of harvested fat before transfer, reflecting a commitment to optimizing every element of the procedure from harvest through injection. 
  • Facial fat transfer is integrated into facelift, neck lift, and blepharoplasty surgical plans where volume restoration will enhance or sustain structural outcomes, as well as offered as a standalone procedure.

In-Office Limited Incision Lower Facelift (Mini Facelift) 

What it is: The In-Office Mini Facelift at RefinedMD is a deep plane facelift performed under mild oral sedation and local anesthesia, without general anesthesia, making it one of the most accessible deep plane options in the country for patients who want meaningful lower face rejuvenation with a reduced risk profile and a faster, more manageable recovery. 

Why Dr. Roy is notable for this procedure: 

  • Since 2016, Dr. Roy has been one of a very small number of facial plastic surgeons in the United States performing deep plane facelifts in an office setting under mild oral sedation, having developed the protocols required to deliver this level of surgery safely without general anesthesia. 
  • Dr. Roy’s patient selection process for the in-office mini facelift is the foundation of its safety profile, identifying candidates whose anatomy, degree of facial aging, and health profile make them genuinely appropriate for this approach. 
  • The drainless technique Dr. Roy pioneered for full facelift surgery is applied to every in-office mini facelift, meaning patients who choose this approach also benefit from his most advanced recovery protocol. 
  • The in-office mini facelift draws a distinct patient demographic: younger patients addressing early lower face aging, professionals who cannot accommodate the recovery demands of a traditional facelift, and patients for whom avoiding general anesthesia is a clinical priority.

Patient Care & Practice Philosophy

Dr. Roy operates on a model of one facelift case per surgical day, handling every procedure from first incision to final closure without delegation to fellows or surgical assistants. He personally attends every post-operative appointment and provides patients with his direct contact number, a level of post-surgical access that is uncommon in the specialty. 

RefinedMD offers a two-tier in-house recovery protocol designed for patients who live active, professional lives: 

  • Level 1 — Enhanced Recovery: Arnica and Bromelain supplementation, red and infrared light therapy at the first three post-operative visits, and Z-Wave lymphatic drainage therapy. 
  • Level 2 — Premium Regenerative Recovery: Adds post-operative IV hydration with recovery supplementation, targeted recovery peptides, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions — all available in-house at RefinedMD. 

Dr. Roy’s stated goal for every procedure is results that do not announce themselves — patients who look refreshed, rested, and like themselves. This commitment to natural outcomes is the consistent theme across patient reviews and across the physician referrals that sustain the practice. 

Dr. Roy communicates with patients in five languages: English, Italian, Spanish, Hindi, and Bengali, reflecting a multilingual practice capability that serves the diverse Bay Area patient population.
