Signature technique

Dr. Gustavo Machados charakteristische Technik ist das Deep Plane Facelift, ein anspruchsvolles Verfahren, das er als eine von nur 26 Praxen in São Paulo anbietet. Er hebt diese Methode als eine bedeutende Weiterentwicklung gegenüber traditionellen Facelifts hervor, die über die oberflächliche Hautstraffung hinausgeht, um die tiefere SMAS-Schicht zu adressieren. Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht die Neupositionierung tieferer Gesichtsgewebe, was laut Dr. Machado dramatischere, natürlichere und dauerhaftere Verbesserungen der Gesichtskonturen schafft. Seine Philosophie konzentriert sich auf eine personalisierte Behandlungsplanung, die anerkennt, dass anatomische Variationen maßgeschneiderte Techniken für optimale Ergebnisse bei der Deep Plane Facelift-Chirurgie erfordern.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. Gustavo Machado provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.

Deep plane facelift results typically last 10-15 years, significantly longer than traditional SMAS or mini-facelift procedures, which tend to last 5-8 years. The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial tissues — including the SMAS-platysma composite and the released retaining ligaments — rather than simply tightening skin, which produces more natural, longer-lasting rejuvenation. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Gustavo Machado can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
