Their medical education was completed at the University of São Paulo, one of Latin America's most established academic medical institutions. This foundation supports Dr. Cintra's ongoing work in advanced facelift surgery.

Deep plane facelift is the procedure at the heart of Dr. Cintra's clinical identity. This technique repositions the deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin, aiming for a more natural and durable result.

Their approach reflects the broader shift in modern surgery toward deeper-layer techniques.

The deep plane method works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system — a layer of muscle and connective tissue that supports the face). By releasing and repositioning this layer, the surgeon can reposition sagging tissue without excessive skin tension.

Dr. Cintra has also worked with endoscopic approaches to facial surgery, as reflected in their documented clinical content. These minimally visible techniques can complement deep plane work in selected patients.

Dr. Cintra's practice extends beyond the facelift alone to include deep neck surgery and periorbital rejuvenation (treatment of the area around the eyes). This allows for a coordinated approach to the aging face as a whole.

Rejuvenation of the gaze — the appearance of the eyes and surrounding tissue — is a theme documented in Dr. Cintra's clinical case work. One published case described a 53-year-old patient one year after a combined deep plane facelift, deep neck surgery, and eye rejuvenation.

Dr. Cintra's patient focus centers on individualized planning rather than a single standardized operation. Facial anatomy varies considerably, and the deep plane technique is adapted to each person's structure.

São Paulo, where Dr. Cintra practices, is Brazil's largest metropolis and a recognized center for plastic surgery in Latin America. The city offers a deep pool of surgical expertise and modern medical infrastructure.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift is a process Dr. Cintra addresses as part of the overall surgical plan. Patients are guided through the healing timeline, from early swelling to the gradual emergence of final results over several months.

As a member of the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica, Dr. Cintra operates within a professional framework that emphasizes ongoing education and ethical practice. Membership in the national society is a common marker of standing among Brazilian plastic surgeons.

Dr. Cintra's practice, the Instituto Cintra Cirurgia Plástica, serves as the base for consultations, surgery, and follow-up care. Patients considering facial rejuvenation can review Dr. Cintra's documented work through their professional channels.
