Dr. Rod J. Rohrich Reigns as Top Facelift Surgeon in America for Five Years Running

In an incredible achievement, Dr. Rod J. Rohrich, a respected plastic surgeon in Dallas, has claimed the title of the best facelift surgeon in the United States once again, as announced in Newsweek's 2025 edition of America's Best Plastic Surgeons. This accolade marks Dr. Rohrich’s fifth consecutive year earning this top honor, reinforcing his reputation as a leader in cosmetic plastic surgery since the award's inception in 2021.

The rankings, established by Newsweek in collaboration with Statista, were derived from a comprehensive survey conducted between March and May that amassed over 10,000 votes from a diverse group of medical professionals including surgeons, physicians, and clinic managers. The surgeons' performance was assessed based on a weighted system focusing on peer recommendations, quality care evaluations, and board certifications.

Facelift surgery is a demanding and intricate procedure designed to rejuvenate the face and neck, addressing various factors such as skin elasticity, muscle tone, and fat distribution. Dr. Rohrich is widely recognized for his significant contributions to advancing facelift techniques, stressing the importance of personalized surgical planning that leads to natural outcomes with long-lasting effects.

"Every patient ages in a different manner, and optimal results derive from customizing the operation to their unique anatomy," Dr. Rohrich explains. He further elaborates, saying, "A successful facelift should restore youthful balance and vitality to the face, appearing natural as the patient undergoes the healing process and continues to age. This is the true indication of long-term success."

In addition to his focused work on facelift procedures, Dr. Rohrich is a dedicated educator and pioneer in facelift innovations. He frequently teaches and lectures on advancements in the field, including the deep plane facelift and the integration of lifting techniques alongside volume restoration to fight the effects of age-related fat loss. His comprehensive approach often involves combining eyelid surgery, skin resurfacing procedures, and science-backed skincare routines that collectively enhance and prolong surgical outcomes.

Reflecting on his recent achievement, Dr. Rohrich states, "Being recognized for five consecutive years by my peers is an extraordinary honor. These rankings serve as vital resources for patients in identifying qualified surgeons. Selecting the right surgeon remains the single most crucial factor in ensuring safe and enduring results."

Beyond his premier status in facelift surgery, Dr. Rohrich also excelled in other categories of the Newsweek 2025 rankings, making notable placements in rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, and liposuction—a testament to his vast expertise across the board. "In the arena of plastic surgery, it’s not merely about consistency; it’s essential to be consistently exceptional," he adds.
