About the clinic

A Deep Plane Facelift at Clínica França in Curitiba, Brazil, provides long-lasting facial rejuvenation by repositioning the deeper muscle and tissue layers. This procedure is led by Dr. Antonio Luiz Francalacci França, a pioneer of the Deep Plane technique in Brazil. Patients benefit from natural-looking results and a safer recovery process at a facility accredited by TEMOS and the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery.

The Deep Plane Technique

This method differs from traditional facelifts by focusing on the SMAS layer and deeper tissues. Dr. França repositions these structures to restore natural facial volume without a "pulled" look. The surgery typically lasts four hours or longer if you choose to include eyelid surgery. For complete cervical rejuvenation, the clinic also offers a Deep Neck procedure. Doctors perform these surgeries under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.

  • Durable Results: Repositioning deeper layers helps the effects last longer than surface-level skin tightening.
  • Reduced Recovery Time: Minimal skin dissection means you experience less swelling and bruising after surgery.
  • Natural Contours: The technique removes excess skin while restoring youthful volume to the mid-face and jawline.
  • Discreet Scars: Incisions are hidden within the natural ear contour and hairline, making them virtually invisible.

Expertise of Dr. Antonio Luiz Francalacci França

Dr. França is a plastic surgeon who trained at world-class institutions, including the Manhattan Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital and Queen Mary's Hospital in London. He is a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery. His international training helps him apply specialized methods for facial and hair restoration. As a pioneer of the Deep Plane method in Brazil, he focuses on achieving balanced and harmonious results for every patient.

Safety and Hospital Stay

Clínica França maintains high safety standards and holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate. Most patients stay in the hospital for 24 hours following the procedure for monitoring. This short stay helps manage the initial recovery phase before you return to your accommodation. The clinic's commitment to safety is backed by its SBCP and TEMOS accreditations, which are important for international patients seeking care abroad.

clinic França: more details about the clinic

Brazil, Curitiba

Clinic França is a private plastic surgery practice in the Bigorrilho district of Curitiba, Brazil. The facility has three specialized departments: hair restoration, facial and body plastic surgery, and aesthetic medicine. Dr. Antonio Luiz Francalacci França leads all procedures and manages the clinic's surgical and non-surgical care.

Accreditations and Specialist Qualifications

The clinic holds accreditations from TEMOS and the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). Dr. França is board-certified and a full member of the SBCP. He also earned a Master's degree in Plastic Surgery from the Federal University of Paraná.

Dr. França completed advanced training at several recognized institutions:

  • Manhattan Eye, Ear, and Throat Hospital in New York
  • Queen Mary's Hospital in London
  • Clínica Ivo Pitanguy in Rio de Janeiro
  • Clínica Koray Erdogan in Istanbul

He is an active member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS).

Hair Restoration and Alopecia Treatment

The clinic specializes in androgenetic alopecia and other forms of hair loss. Specialists perform hair transplants using both Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). For patients with extensive hair loss, the clinic offers FUE "Mega Sessions."

FUE Mega Sessions place the maximum number of grafts from the donor area in a single visit. The clinic uses dermojet technology – a needle-free system that delivers anesthesia without pain. A coordinated team of 4 to 10 professionals performs meticulous extraction. This approach protects graft viability and reduces procedure time.

Facial and Body Plastic Surgery

Dr. França specializes in Deep Plane Facelift and Deep Neck techniques. These procedures address facial aging by repositioning deeper tissue layers, not just stretching skin. The clinic also offers outpatient blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). This procedure typically takes two hours and allows same-day discharge.

Body contouring services include:

  • Liposuction and liposculpture for localized fat removal
  • Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to address excess skin and muscle laxity
  • Breast augmentation with inframammary or transaxillary incisions
  • Male breast reduction for gynecomastia
  • Calf and gluteal implants

For gynecomastia, the clinic treats isolated and mixed cases involving both excess fat and glandular tissue. Patients follow specific recovery protocols, such as sleeping with an elevated trunk to manage swelling.

Aesthetic Medicine and Non-Surgical Slimming

The clinic offers minimally invasive options for patients who don't need major surgery. Fios de Sustentação are absorbable lifting threads made of biocompatible material. These sutures provide immediate tissue support and stimulate collagen production. Results typically last 18 to 24 months.

Face thinning uses Bichectomia, also known as buccal fat extraction. This surgery removes small fat pockets from the cheeks through an incision inside the mouth. This means no visible scarring. Other aesthetic services include botulinum toxin injections, skin fillers, and chemical peels.

Patient Services and Technology

The clinic uses superficial, medium, and deep acid peels to treat acne, sunspots, and fine lines. For hair therapy, the team uses high-frequency and ionization tools. Patients from Brazil and abroad must complete a pre-consultation form about their health history and goals before scheduling an in-person evaluation.

I recently had a facial lifting done and I’m thrilled with the result—although it’s only been 15 days, I’ve already noticed the difference! The doctor is extremely attentive, professional, and careful, and he really made me feel confident. The girls at the front desk are also very sweet and helpful. The experience was excellent from start to finish; I recommend it with my eyes closed!

I had my first hair transplant with Dr. França. The result was much worse than I expected and left a lot to be desired. In the end, I had to have a second one to get a better result. Unfortunately, I don’t recommend his work for hair transplants, despite all his professionalism.

I arrived at the clinic today for a scheduled appointment at 2:00 p.m. I got to the building on time, but because of the long line for re-registration at the front desk — a situation the team was fully aware of — I was able to enter the room only at 2:15 p.m. Even so, I stayed waiting and was told at 2:40 p.m. that my appointment had been given to someone else, with the justification of “delay.” I see this as disrespect toward the patient: in addition to having to arrange to miss work, waste time, and pay for parking, I was harmed even though I was present and inside the building at the agreed time. If the reception staff already knew about the re-registration situation, they should have asked the customer or informed them when they arrived that their appointment would now be postponed. It makes no sense to punish a client who was already on the premises. I record my dissatisfaction and request that steps be taken so that cases like this do not happen again.
