Her clinical home is the Roura Aesthetic Institute, a Manila practice where she sees both local and international patients. The institute reflects her interest in combining surgical and non-surgical approaches to facial aging.
Dr. Roura is described in professional listings as a specialist in the deep plane facelift, a procedure that works beneath the SMAS (the superficial muscular aponeurotic system, a fibrous layer supporting the face). This approach aims to restore the natural contours of the midface and neck.
Her specialties extend beyond the face. Dr. Roura is recognized for her work in Vaser liposculpting, a body contouring method that uses ultrasound energy to refine fat deposits and sculpt the physique.
Dr. Roura's background in dermatology informs her surgical philosophy. Skin quality, healing, and long-term tissue behavior are central concerns for a physician trained first in the biology of the skin.
The deep plane facelift she performs is a rhytidectomy (the medical term for a surgical facelift) that lifts tissue at a deeper level. This is often preferred for patients seeking a more natural, less pulled result.
Her approach favors harmony over dramatic change. Dr. Roura is described as prioritizing balanced facial rejuvenation that respects each patient's underlying anatomy.
Manila, the capital of the Philippines, serves as her professional base. The city is a growing hub for aesthetic medicine in Southeast Asia, drawing patients from across the region.
Recovery guidance forms an important part of Dr. Roura's patient care. She is noted for supporting patients through the healing weeks that follow a deep plane facelift, when swelling gradually resolves and results emerge.
Dr. Roura has also spoken publicly about advanced body contouring. In one exclusive interview, she discussed Vaser Hi-Def liposculpting and non-surgical laser techniques, reflecting a broad command of aesthetic tools.
Her memberships anchor her within the Philippine medical community. Fellowship in the Philippine Dermatological Society and the Philippine Academy of Cutaneous Surgery signals ongoing engagement with peer standards.
Patient education is a recurring theme in how Dr. Roura's practice is described. She is noted for explaining procedures thoroughly so that patients understand both the process and the realistic outcome.
The combination of dermatologic training and surgical focus is relatively distinctive. Dr. Roura brings a skin-first perspective to facial rejuvenation, an angle that appeals to patients concerned with long-term skin health.
For affluent patients weighing where to have a deep plane facelift, Dr. Roura represents an established Manila option. Her sixteen years of experience, dual society fellowships, and focus on tissue repositioning position her as a well-regarded choice in the Philippine market.

I highly recommend Dr. Claudine Roura and her incredible team! I recently underwent an upper and lower blepharoplasty, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Dr. Roura is a true artist—she is meticulous, professional, and has a keen eye for natural-looking results. I felt completely confident in her hands from the very first consultation. The administrative side was just as impressive; Jenny, the Admin Assistant, was a joy to work with. She made the scheduling and coordination seamless and was always available to answer my questions with a professional and friendly attitude. Special thanks also to Nurse Jannette, whose bedside manner and care during my procedure and recovery were exceptional. She was incredibly attentive, making sure I was comfortable and well-informed every step of the way. If you are looking for a team that combines world-class surgical expertise with a warm, supportive environment, this is the place to go.

Dr. Claudine Roura approaches the deep plane facelift as an anatomical procedure focused on repositioning tissue rather than pulling skin. The technique addresses facial aging at its structural source — the deeper layers that descend over time.
Central to this method is the SMAS, the superficial muscular aponeurotic system. This fibrous sheet lies beneath the skin and connects to the muscles of facial expression, forming the framework that gives the face its shape.
