Advanced
aesthetic mastery,
surgeon to surgeon.
A low-volume, invitation-only fellowship for board-eligible and board-certified surgeons seeking advanced training in aesthetic medicine and surgical-adjacent procedures. Conducted at 360 Surgery Center in Aventura with Dr. Tali Arviv personally directing. Limited to eight surgeons per cohort.
Built for surgeons — not for the surgically curious.
This fellowship is open to:
- Board-certified or board-eligible plastic surgeons (ABPS, EBOPRAS, FRCS Plast, RCSI Plast).
- Board-certified facial plastic surgeons (ABFPRS).
- Dermatologic surgeons with Mohs and/or aesthetic-surgical experience.
- Oculoplastic surgeons (ABOphth-trained or international equivalent).
- OMFS surgeons with facial aesthetic interest.
- Senior surgical residents in PGY-4 or PGY-5 of plastic surgery, facial plastic surgery, oculoplastic, or dermatologic surgery programs.
- International surgeons with credentials equivalent to the above, with documentation reviewable by our admissions committee.
This fellowship is not appropriate for clinicians without formal surgical training. NPs, PAs, and non-surgical physicians seeking advanced aesthetic training should consider the MSI Aesthetic Medicine Fellowship.
Five days, fully observed.
Each cohort runs Monday through Friday. Mornings are operating-room observation alongside Dr. Arviv at 360 Surgery Center. Afternoons are didactic and case-based discussion. Evenings include faculty dinners (optional) and small-group anatomy review.
Aesthetic Anatomy Intensive + OR Observation
Morning: One OR case (typically deep-plane facelift or eyelid surgery) with Dr. Arviv, scrubbed-in observation when patient consents. Afternoon: 4-hour anatomy intensive on fresh-frozen cadaver at the partner anatomy lab. Layered facial dissection with emphasis on danger zones, vascular landmarks, and ligamentous structures.
Injectables at the Surgical Level
Morning: Two OR cases (typically face/neck lift adjacent or breast cases). Afternoon: Advanced injectables didactic and hands-on — tear-trough, mid-face deep, jawline structural, chin projection. Cannula and needle decision criteria from a surgeon's anatomic vantage. Live patient injections under direct supervision.
Energy-Based Devices & Surgical Adjuncts
Morning: One OR case + ASC walk-through (anesthesia, recovery protocols, ASC accreditation framework). Afternoon: Energy devices applied at the surgical level — RF microneedling, fractional CO2, picosecond lasers in pre/post-surgical contexts. Combined modality protocols.
Threads, PRP/PRF, and Surgical-Adjacent Procedures
Morning: One OR case (likely facial or body contouring). Afternoon: PDO/PCL thread placement at the master level. PRP/PRF preparation and application. Hair transplant overview and referral pathways. Pre/post-op aesthetic medicine integration into a surgical practice.
Practice Architecture for the Surgical Aesthetic Practice
Morning: Surgical case selection + complication management roundtable. Afternoon: The business of a high-end aesthetic surgical practice — P&L architecture, pricing tiers, referral relationship structures, marketing for surgeons, the difference between a busy practice and a profitable one. Group dinner with Dr. Arviv to close the cohort.
Surgical cases observed are determined by Dr. Arviv's actual case calendar that week. Specific procedures cannot be guaranteed; the educational value of the observation is preserved across any case mix.
Fully accredited, fully operating, fully yours for the week.
360 Surgery Center is Dr. Tali Arviv's AAAASF-accredited ambulatory surgical center adjacent to the Arviv Plastic Surgery Center in Aventura, Florida. The center handles full-spectrum aesthetic surgical cases — face, breast, body — across an annual volume that places it in the top quartile of South Florida aesthetic ASCs.
Fellowship cohorts observe at the same ORs where Dr. Arviv's regular cases are performed. This is not a teaching simulation — it is a working aesthetic surgical practice that pauses to teach for one week each quarter.

Application and review.
Submit a brief written application including:
- A copy of your medical degree and board certification(s).
- Current medical license (Florida if applicable; home-state if international/out-of-state — observation rights are conferred on a per-case basis).
- A one-page statement describing your current practice scope, your interest in expanding aesthetic capability, and the case mix you want to observe.
- Two references from peer surgeons familiar with your work.
Applications are reviewed by Dr. Arviv personally within seven business days. If accepted, you'll receive an offer letter with a $5,000 deposit deadline to secure your seat in the next cohort. The deposit is fully refundable up to 60 days before the cohort start date.
We turn down approximately one in three applications — most often when the applicant's surgical experience does not match the cohort level, or when a different MSI program (Aesthetic Medicine Fellowship) is the more appropriate fit. We will tell you which.
Fellowship questions.
Eight seats per cohort. Four cohorts per year.
