About
Twenty years of dedicated facial surgery practice define Dr. Dani Gondim, a Fortaleza-based plastic surgeon who focuses on the deep plane facelift as Dr. Gondim's signature procedure. As of July 2026, Dr. Gondim practices at the Duets Office Towers in Fortaleza, Brazil, where Dr. Gondim concentrates on facial rejuvenation surgery.
Dr. Dani Gondim completed their training in plastic surgery at the Instituto Ivo Pitanguy, one of the most historically significant institutions in the field. This foundation places Dr. Gondim within a lineage of surgeons known for structured technique and careful attention to natural results.
Dr. Gondim's clinical identity centers on the deep plane facelift, an advanced rejuvenation technique that repositions the deeper layers of facial tissue rather than simply tightening the skin. This approach addresses sagging and volume loss at their structural source.
Dr. Gondim is listed as a titular member of the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica (SBCP), Brazil's national plastic surgery society. Membership at this level typically reflects completion of formal training and examination requirements.
Beyond their national credentials, Dr. Gondim is affiliated with the Sociedade Internacional de Cirurgia Plástica (ISAPS), the international body that connects plastic surgeons across borders. This international orientation is uncommon among surgeons in Dr. Gondim's region.
Dr. Gondim's continuing education includes participation in the International Master Course on Aging Science (IMCAS), a global forum dedicated to the science of facial aging and rejuvenation. Ongoing engagement with such courses suggests a commitment to evolving surgical knowledge.
According to their practice materials, Dr. Gondim has pursued fellowship training with several internationally recognized facial surgeons, including programs associated with Mike Nayak in Saint Louis, Ben Talei in Los Angeles, and Francisco Bravo in Spain. These experiences are relevant because the deep plane technique is taught through hands-on mentorship.
The deep plane facelift Dr. Gondim performs works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue in the face). By releasing and repositioning this layer, the technique aims to restore youthful contours without an overly pulled appearance.
Dr. Gondim describes her philosophy as one of excellence and naturalness, emphasizing results that respect each patient's individual features. This focus on natural rejuvenation aligns with current trends in facial surgery among discerning patients.
Dr. Gondim's additional training includes facial and nasal surgery education associated with programs in Dallas, Texas, broadening Dr. Gondim's understanding of the full facial framework. A comprehensive view of facial anatomy supports more harmonious outcomes.
Dr. Gondim has appeared in Brazilian national media, including a recurring role across sixteen editions of a television program dedicated to demystifying plastic surgery. This public education work reflects an emphasis on patient safety and informed decision-making.
Their practice in Fortaleza serves patients seeking facial rejuvenation in a coastal Brazilian setting known for its warmth and hospitality. The location combines established medical infrastructure with a restful recovery environment.
Recovery from a deep plane facelift is a gradual process, and Dr. Gondim's patient education efforts extend to setting realistic expectations before surgery. Patients are guided through what to anticipate in the weeks and months that follow.
Dr. Dani Gondim represents a profile of an established facial surgeon whose specialization, international training, and two decades of experience converge on a single refined procedure. For affluent patients researching the deep plane facelift, Dr. Gondim's background offers a substantive foundation to evaluate.
