Driven by the belief that expertise carries responsibility, Dr. Gandolfi brings surgical precision and design-mindfulness to communities in need. His mission work extends beyond aesthetics to create lasting change in places where access to cranio-facial and reconstructive surgery is limited.
Through his ongoing involvement with Operation Smile and other global initiatives, Dr. Gandolfi performs complex reconstructive surgeries for children and adults affected by cleft lip, cleft palate, and craniofacial conditions. These missions reflect the same standards that define his private practice: meticulous planning, technical mastery, and a deep respect for every individual he treats.
Access to reconstructive surgery changes lives. For patients born with facial differences or traumatic injuries, restoring form and function means more than appearance.
It’s also the ability to eat, speak, and smile freely. Dr. Gandolfi believes that aesthetic and reconstructive surgery share a common philosophy: both restore harmony. Whether in New York or abroad, the goal remains the same—to help each patient live more comfortably and confidently in their own skin.
These affiliations allow Dr. Gandolfi to share his knowledge, refine surgical practices worldwide, and participate in humanitarian efforts grounded in accountability and excellence.
Dr. Gandolfi’s mission work has taken him to countries from Asia to Central America, with each trip bringing together global volunteers and local providers. Every mission combines advanced surgical methods with cultural respect and a commitment to leaving behind more than surgical results: sustainable systems, training, and hope.
Dr. Gandolfi is passionate about furthering the medical profession by authoring book chapters and contributing to peer-reviewed research.
He has published articles in prestigious journals such as the Journal of Pediatrics, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, and the Journal of Surgical Research. In addition to his writing, he has lectured and presented both nationally and internationally.
Sustainable change requires a network of professionals and supporters who believe in access to care for all. To learn more about supporting Operation Smile or future mission work, visit operationsmile.org.
Part of the oath all doctors take is a promise to teach and further the profession. My research and training under exceptional surgeons from across the US have given me a unique skill set and knowledge base that I have been able to share by writing book chapters, publishing peer-reviewed research papers, and lecturing.
I have written chapters in Secondary Rhinoplasty by the Global Masters and Operative Techniques in Plastic Surgery I have lectured at national and international plastic surgery conferences on microsurgery, breast reconstruction, craniosynostosis, pediatric plastic surgery, and skull reconstruction. These lectures have sent me as far as Mexico and Tokyo. My research presentations have earned me honors at the national society level. I have published peer-reviewed journal articles in prestigious journals, including the Journal of Pediatrics, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, and the Journal of Surgical Research.
