Dr. Trujillo'S PERSPECTIVES
AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. Julian Trujillo's signature approach to facial rejuvenation centers on the deep plane facelift technique. He emphasizes that this advanced procedure requires an extensive understanding of facial anatomy, particularly the sub-SMAS layer, where critical dissection occurs. His method involves releasing and repositioning deeper facial tissues, rather than merely tightening the skin, to achieve more natural and lasting results. Dr. Trujillo highlights that the deep plane technique addresses facial aging at its structural source by repositioning descended tissues to their youthful positions, distinguishing it from traditional facelifts that primarily target skin laxity without correcting underlying volume loss and tissue descent. He incorporates refined techniques designed to minimize trauma and accelerate healing, while carefully preserving facial nerve branches for comprehensive rejuvenation.

Dr. Trujillo's Surgical Approach
Dr. Julian Trujillo approaches the deep plane facelift as a procedure of anatomical repositioning rather than skin tightening.
Dr. Julian Trujillo approaches the deep plane facelift as a procedure of anatomical repositioning rather than skin tightening. The technique works beneath the surface to restore facial structures to a more youthful position.
At the center of this method is the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of tissue and muscle beneath the skin). In a deep plane facelift, the surgeon works below this layer to release and reposition the deeper structures of the face.
