Dr. Rufolo'S PERSPECTIVES
AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. Rufolo's signature technique is the deep plane facelift, an advanced approach to facial rejuvenation. He emphasizes this method for its ability to reposition deeper facial tissues, moving beyond mere skin tightening to address the underlying structural changes of aging. This technique involves working beneath the SMAS layer, which is the superficial muscular aponeurotic system, to achieve a more comprehensive and natural-looking lift. His focus on the deep plane ensures that sagging tissues are repositioned authentically, providing outcomes that are both refined and harmonious with the patient's natural facial contours, reflecting a commitment to sophisticated aesthetic results.
