His medical formation is rooted in one of the most recognized names in the field. Dr. Lintz is listed as a graduate of the Instituto Ivo Pitanguy, the training program founded by the surgeon widely regarded as a pioneer of Brazilian plastic surgery.
Dr. Lintz is listed as board-certified by the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica (SBCP), the national body that oversees plastic surgery standards in Brazil. Board recognition of this kind is a meaningful baseline when evaluating any facelift surgeon.
Before joining the Pitanguy service, Dr. Lintz completed a general surgery residency at the PUC-Campinas Hospital. He also trained for one year at the National Cancer Institute in Rio de Janeiro, building a broad surgical foundation early in his career.
He then spent three years within Professor Ivo Pitanguy's own clinic, working directly alongside the professor. This period placed him inside a lineage of facial surgery technique that continues to influence Brazilian practice.
Dr. Lintz served as an Assistant Professor at the Instituto Pitanguy from 2008 to 2019. That eleven-year teaching role suggests a career shaped by instruction as well as private practice.
His clinical interest centers on the aging face. The deep plane facelift — a technique that repositions deeper facial tissue rather than simply tightening skin — sits at the heart of his stated specialties.
Alongside the deep plane approach, Dr. Lintz also lists the High SMAS facelift among his areas of focus. Both techniques address the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a layer of muscle and connective tissue beneath the skin) rather than the surface alone.
Dr. Lintz is affiliated with the Associação dos Ex-alunos do Professor Pitanguy (AEXPI), an alumni association connecting surgeons trained within the Pitanguy tradition. Such memberships reflect ongoing ties to a defined surgical school.
His practice describes patients traveling from across Brazil and internationally to his São Paulo and Campinas clinics. This dual-city structure gives patients flexibility in where they consult and recover.
Recovery after a deep plane facelift is a process measured in weeks and months rather than days, and Dr. Lintz's long experience is oriented toward guiding patients through that timeline with realistic expectations.
Dr. Lintz maintains an active professional presence, including participation in national and international scientific congresses. His practice frames this as a commitment to keeping pace with evolving technique.
São Paulo, where Dr. Lintz practices, is the largest medical center in South America and a recognized hub for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Choosing a surgeon within this environment means access to established hospital infrastructure.
For women in their fifties and sixties considering facial rejuvenation, Dr. Eduardo Lintz represents a surgeon with deep roots in a specific Brazilian surgical tradition, board recognition, and a stated focus on the deeper structural techniques that define modern facelift surgery.

Dr. Lintz's Surgical Approach
Dr. Eduardo Lintz approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that works beneath the skin rather than at its surface.
Dr. Eduardo Lintz approaches the deep plane facelift as a structural procedure that works beneath the skin rather than at its surface. His stated specialties — the deep plane facelift and the High SMAS facelift — both concentrate on the deeper layers of the face.
The SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) is a continuous layer of muscle and connective tissue that lies under the skin and above the deeper facial structures. As the face ages, this layer descends, contributing to jowls, midface flattening, and deepening folds.
