This method is favored for its ability to achieve natural-looking results that can potentially last significantly longer than those from traditional facelift methods.

Her credentials are anchored by certification from the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica (SBCP), the national body that oversees plastic surgery standards in Brazil. This certification is a foundational marker for patients evaluating a facial surgeon.
Medical training for Dr. Masi took place at Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná, one of the region's established academic institutions. This educational grounding supports her approach to complex facial anatomy.
Beyond national certification, Dr. Masi is affiliated with the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), a global organization connecting aesthetic surgeons across more than 100 countries. Membership signals engagement with international standards in aesthetic surgery.
The deep plane facelift is a technique that repositions deeper facial tissue layers rather than simply tightening the skin. Dr. Masi's inclusion in a specialist directory reflects her association with this more advanced form of rhytidectomy (the medical term for a surgical facelift).
Facial aging affects multiple layers of tissue, not just the skin surface. Surgeons who perform deep plane techniques work beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a supportive layer of muscle and connective tissue) to achieve natural-looking rejuvenation.
Dr. Masi practices at Clínica Nassif, a private clinic in Curitiba where consultations and procedures are coordinated. The clinic setting allows for personalized planning and follow-up care.
Curitiba itself is a distinctive backdrop for aesthetic surgery. Known as one of Brazil's most organized and green cities, it blends European-influenced architecture with a reputation for quality healthcare and a calm, temperate climate ideal for recovery.
Patients considering facial surgery often prioritize a surgeon's approach as much as their technical skill. Dr. Masi's profile emphasizes attention to individual facial structure and realistic aesthetic goals.
The deep plane facelift differs from traditional approaches in how deeply it addresses facial descent. By releasing and repositioning tissue at a deeper level, the technique aims for results that age gracefully over time.
Recovery is a central consideration for anyone weighing this surgery. Dr. Masi's practice model in Curitiba supports structured post-operative follow-up, which is important for monitoring healing in the first critical weeks.
For international and domestic patients alike, choosing a surgeon involves reviewing credentials, technique, and communication style. Dr. Masi's SBCP certification and ISAPS membership provide a verifiable starting point.
As a surgeon working within Brazil's well-developed plastic surgery culture, Dr. Masi operates in a country long recognized as a global center for aesthetic surgery. This context adds depth to her professional standing.

Dr. Masi's Surgical Approach
The deep plane facelift performed by Dr. Flavia Masi centers on repositioning the deeper structural layers of the face rather than pulling on the skin alone.
The deep plane facelift performed by Dr. Flavia Masi centers on repositioning the deeper structural layers of the face rather than pulling on the skin alone. This distinction defines the modern approach to facial rejuvenation.
At the core of the technique is the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system) — a layer of muscle and connective tissue that sits beneath the skin and supports the cheeks, jawline, and neck. As we age, this layer descends, creating the sagging that patients notice.
