Dr. Bolitho'S PERSPECTIVES
AI-assisted profile summarySignature technique
Dr. Glynn Bolitho's signature technique in facial rejuvenation is the deep plane facelift, a sophisticated evolution from traditional methods. This approach specifically targets the sub-SMAS layer, or superficial muscular aponeurotic system, to achieve more natural and enduring results. The deep plane technique involves carefully releasing and repositioning facial ligaments while meticulously maintaining tissue integrity. Dr. Bolitho emphasizes that proper execution of this method allows for comprehensive midface lifting, crucially avoiding the telltale signs of surgical intervention often associated with older facelift procedures. This focus on the deep plane ensures outcomes that respect individual facial anatomy and aging patterns, providing a refreshed appearance without an "operated" look.
