About

Thirty-one years of dedicated facial surgery practice define the career of Dr. Ricardo Kacowicz, a plastic surgeon based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. As of July 2026, Dr. Kacowicz is one of the relatively few Brazilian surgeons who focuses exclusively on facial rejuvenation and phenol peeling techniques.

Dr. Ricardo Kacowicz specializes in the deep plane facelift, a procedure that repositions the deeper tissue layers of the face rather than simply tightening the skin. This distinction is central to their philosophy of natural-looking results.

Their guiding belief is captured in their own words: a result that inspires admiration is one where beauty reveals no trace of the surgeon's hand. This principle shapes every decision Dr. Kacowicz makes in the operating room.

Dr. Kacowicz earned their medical degree from UFRJ (the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro), one of Brazil's respected academic institutions. Dr. Kacowicz completed a general surgery residency at HSE in Rio de Janeiro, followed by a plastic surgery residency at HFB.

Dr. Kacowicz is listed as certified by the SBCP (Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica), the national body that oversees plastic surgery standards in Brazil. Their professional registration number is RQE/SP 49237.

Rhytidectomy, the medical term for a surgical facelift, forms the core of Dr. Kacowicz's clinical work. Dr. Kacowicz has refined both surgical and minimally invasive approaches over three decades, always prioritizing a soft, undetectable outcome.

Their practice spans several Brazilian cities, with locations in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Brasília. This multi-city footprint reflects a career built on facial surgery rather than a broad, general aesthetic menu.

Beyond the deep plane facelift, Dr. Kacowicz offers a range of procedures Dr. Kacowicz has developed or refined, including their Liftpeel and K-lift techniques. Their signature phenol peel work addresses skin texture and pigmentation alongside surgical rejuvenation.

Facial aging is a layered process, and Dr. Kacowicz approaches it accordingly. Rather than treating the skin alone, Dr. Kacowicz addresses the underlying muscle and connective tissue known as the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system) to restore natural contour.

Their focus on tissue repositioning distinguishes the deep plane method from older facelift styles. By releasing and repositioning deeper layers, Dr. Kacowicz aims to avoid the pulled, wind-blown look that concerns many patients considering surgery.

Recovery is a subject Dr. Kacowicz discusses openly with patients before surgery. A deep plane facelift typically involves an initial period of swelling and bruising, followed by a gradual return to normal life over several weeks.

Internationally, Dr. Kacowicz has been recognized within the facial surgery community for their teaching and demonstration work. Dr. Kacowicz has been described as a senior Brazilian plastic surgeon whose observations and techniques have been shared with peers abroad.

Dr. Kacowicz's contribution to combined facial procedures has been noted following complex operations that include eyebrow lifting, deep midface treatment, and careful neck work. This comprehensive view reflects Dr. Kacowicz's understanding of the face as an interconnected whole.

Patients considering Dr. Kacowicz often value their narrow specialization. In a field where many surgeons cover the entire body, Dr. Kacowicz's concentration on the face and neck represents a deliberate professional choice.

For women in their fifties and sixties exploring facial rejuvenation, Dr. Ricardo Kacowicz offers a practice rooted in decades of focused experience, an emphasis on natural results, and a clear surgical philosophy grounded in the deep plane approach in Rio de Janeiro and beyond.
