ABOUT DR. RUBIO PALAU
INSIDE-OUT
Approach
An approach specific to the maxillofacial surgeon. The specialty with the greatest knowledge of facial anatomy. Understanding the face from its deep structure (bone, function and proportion), which allows us to intervene with greater precision and respect for the identity of each person.
But looking inward also means looking at the person: listening, understanding what they need and accompanying them throughout the process.
Working aligned with this philosophy has led us to develop innovative techniques that help us get to know each patient better.

Deep anatomical
knowledge
We plan all procedures based on the analysis of the deep structure of the face: bone, muscle, function and proportion
Understanding
the person
Our work consists of understanding what you want, what you need and, above all, what you do not need, accompanying you at every stage of the process
3D Technology
and guided surgery
We plan each intervention with 3D technology and image-guided surgery to ensure accuracy, safety and absolute control
Natural
restoration
We do not transform identities. We restore facial harmony with natural and coherent results, where functionality and aesthetics go hand in hand
3D Technology3D
A more precise, safer and completely personalized surgery
Each intervention is planned using 3D technology and image-guided surgery, a system developed by Dr. Rubio Palau that allows studying the patient's anatomy and designing the surgery before entering the operating room.
