Frequently Asked Questions About Dr. Gustavo Machado

What procedures does Dr. Gustavo Machado specialize in?
Dr. Gustavo Machado specializes in Deep Plane Facelift, facial rejuvenation procedures, practicing in Brazil. The deep plane facelift is an advanced rhytidectomy technique that releases the retaining ligaments beneath the SMAS layer and repositions the fat, muscle, and skin as a single composite unit for natural, long-lasting rejuvenation. Dr. Gustavo Machado is a highly experienced plastic surgeon based in São Paulo, Brazil, known for his focus on facial rejuvenation procedures, including the deep plane facelift.
Is Dr. Machado board certified?
Dr. Machado is listed as board-certified by ABPS, based on publicly available information such as clinic websites, medical society directories, and official registries. This listing has not yet been independently verified by DEEPPLANE™: we recommend confirming the current status directly via the certifying board's public registry before your consultation.
How can I book a consultation with Dr. Machado?

Reviews typically reference communication, surgical outcome, bedside manner, and post-operative support.

Where is Dr. Machado located?
Dr. Machado practices at Órion Business & Health Complex in São Paulo, Brazil. The clinic welcomes both local and international patients travelling for deep plane facelift surgery. Visit the official clinic website for the full street address, parking details, and directions from the nearest international airport. International patients can arrange a virtual consultation before traveling to review candidacy, treatment plan, and pricing.
What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
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. Machado provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
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. Machado can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.

Dr. Machado has 13+ years of clinical experience in facial plastic surgery. Deep plane facelift is a signature procedure within the clinical practice.
