The Art of the Face Science, Precision and Natural Beauty
For several decades, Dr Frédéric Braccini has developed a distinctive approach to the face, at the intersection of medicine, surgery and aesthetics. His philosophy combines technical precision with a constant pursuit of harmony and natural-looking results.
He is a member of numerous national and international learned societies. He was notably the founding President of the Advanced Society of Aesthetic and Plastic Medicine and Surgery, former Secretary of the French Society of Facial Plastic Surgery, and a former member of the American Academy of Plastic Surgeons.
He is also the Scientific Director of the Corsica Medical Summit, an annual medical congress held every June in Corsica.
In the world of aesthetic medicine and facial surgery, certain careers stand out for their particularly coherent specialization. Dr Frédéric Braccini is one of them. Based in Nice, he practices in the fields of ENT and head and neck surgery, while also developing a practice dedicated to facial aesthetics.
This dual expertise is one of the defining features of his approach: understanding the face as a whole before considering how specific features might be enhanced or reshaped.
His academic career began in Nice, where he successfully passed the first-year medical studies examination in 1987, followed by the national medical residency examination in 1992. He then completed his residency in ENT and head and neck surgery between 1992 and 1998, before becoming an assistant and subsequently a hospital clinical fellow at La Timone University Hospital in Marseille from 1998 to 2000.
He began his practice in Nice in 2001.
He was also an affiliated physician at the American Hospital of Paris from 2009 to 2011.
This specialized training forms the foundation of his practice. It allows him to approach aesthetics not as an isolated discipline, but as a natural extension of his in-depth understanding of facial anatomy.
The Face as an Expression of Balance
The face is a subtle architecture. Every feature contributes to its overall balance: the nose, the eyes, the cheekbones, the lips, the jawline and the neck. Even a discreet change can alter a person’s expression.
It is precisely this concept of harmony that lies at the heart of Dr Braccini’s approach. His aesthetic practice includes procedures such as rhinoplasty, facelift surgery, facial liposculpture, neck liposuction, blepharoplasty and otoplasty. Aesthetic medicine complements this approach through techniques including botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, mesotherapy and suspension threads.
Behind this diversity of techniques lies a consistent philosophy: to intervene with restraint and seek results that integrate naturally with the face rather than radically transforming it.
Rhinoplasty holds a particularly important place in his practice. His professional website www.braccini.net
presents several approaches, including primary and secondary rhinoplasty, as well as non-surgical rhinoplasty. This specialization naturally reflects his background in ENT and head and neck surgery.
Where Medicine Meets Aesthetics
One of the defining characteristics of Dr Braccini’s career is precisely this close relationship between medicine and aesthetics.
The same anatomical understanding can address both functional and aesthetic concerns. The nose, for example, is not only a central element of facial harmony but also an essential organ for breathing. The surgeon must therefore consider these different dimensions together.
This comprehensive vision is also reflected in the range of services offered through CA-Médical. The center provides medical care for conditions involving the face, nose, ears, voice, larynx, neck and thyroid, as well as sleep-related disorders. Its aesthetic practice focuses primarily on the face.
A Practice Shaped by Teaching and Knowledge
Medical practice is not limited to the experience gained through consultations and procedures. It continues to evolve through research, professional exchange and the development of new techniques.
Dr Braccini’s career also reflects this commitment to teaching and knowledge sharing. His professional activities have included teaching and operating-room work, while his website highlights various conferences, professional meetings and events dedicated to ENT, head and neck surgery and aesthetic medicine.
Dr. Frédéric Braccini is also actively involved in the Face Masterclass training program (FAM), sharing his expertise and experience with medical professionals.
His name has also appeared over the years in a range of professional and public media. His professional website references contributions and publications relating to the face, facial ageing, rhinoplasty and aesthetic medicine.
Among the books associated with his work are Le Visage Sublimé, Embellissement et Rajeunissement du Visage, Medical Rhinoplasty, Facial Ageing, as well as a publication dedicated to botulinum toxin in aesthetic medicine.
Always highly dynamic, he co-founded the Cyrnos Esthétique clinic group in 2023.
An Expertise That Extends Beyond Borders
Based at 27 Boulevard Dubouchage in the heart of Nice, Dr Frédéric Braccini welcomes patients from across the region, particularly from Cannes, Monaco and Marseille, as well as from much farther afield.
His activities also extend beyond the French Riviera. Dr Braccini launched a clinic in Corsica in 2026 @guardiola_medical_esthetique, where he carries out medical and surgical procedures. Located in Monticello, at the entrance to Île-Rousse in Corsica, Guardiola Medical & Aesthetic Centre is a modern destination dedicated to aesthetic medicine, dermatology, skin health and overall well-being. The centre combines medical expertise with advanced technologies to offer personalised treatments designed to enhance each patient’s natural beauty while maintaining harmonious and natural-looking results. Its services include aesthetic injections, laser treatments, skin rejuvenation, radiofrequency, HIFU, medical peels, hair treatments and advanced skin diagnostics.
With a medical and multidisciplinary approach, Guardiola places particular emphasis on personalised care, precision and the quality of the patient experience, making it a notable address for medical aesthetics and skin health in Corsica.
Dr Braccini’s career also has a strong international dimension. This also reflects the international reach of his expertise and the trust placed in him by patients from around the world. This international dimension complements a career dedicated to facial surgery and aesthetic medicine.His mobility allows him to remain close to his patients while sharing his experience and expertise well beyond the borders of France.
Dr. Frédéric Braccini is a surgeon deeply committed to both the medical and therapeutic fields, as well as to aesthetic medicine. His approach places particular emphasis on achieving the right balance between aesthetics and function, an essential principle that guides all of his surgical work involving the face and neck.
