Dr. Edmar Minchio

Dr. Minchio's website displays the regional medical council registration CRM-RJ 52.81054-1. That number refers to a license to practice medicine in the state of Rio de Janeiro, issued through the Conselho Regional de Medicina, and patients can look it up on the public medical council register.

A third-party medical tourism listing states that Dr. Minchio trained at Santa Casa de Misericórdia and at Hospital da Plástica in Rio de Janeiro. The surgeon's Instagram profile, @dredmarminchio, describes Dr. Minchio as a former student of Professor Pitanguy, a name closely tied to the history of aesthetic surgery in Brazil.

DeepPlane.com holds no board certification record for Dr. Minchio, confirmed or claimed. That is a gap in the directory's data rather than a finding about the surgeon, and the credentials section on this profile explains how patients can check specialist registration directly.

According to the practice's own website, more than 2,000 surgeries have been performed. That figure is the practice's statement, covers the full range of procedures it offers, and is not a count of facelifts.

Facial rejuvenation sits alongside breast and body procedures in the practice's list of services. The website names face lifting, mastopexy (breast lift), breast implants, abdominoplasty and high-definition liposuction, and the surgeon's Instagram profile adds rhinoplasty to that list.

The practice describes its face lifting as rejuvenation through tissue repositioning, aiming for a natural, rested and lasting result. That description matches the core idea behind a deep plane facelift, a form of rhytidectomy (the medical term for facelift surgery) that lifts deeper layers rather than relying on skin tension.

A deep plane facelift works beneath the SMAS (the superficial musculoaponeurotic system, a fibrous and muscular layer under the skin and fat). Releasing and moving this layer together with the skin lets the surgeon treat the jowls, midface and jawline as one unit, which is why many patients choose it for lower-face aging.

Natural, personalized results are the stated goal of Dr. Minchio's practice, according to its website. The site emphasizes safety and results that respect each patient's own features, a philosophy that suits patients who want to look refreshed rather than changed.

The practice treats both women and men, and its website includes a dedicated section on male plastic surgery. A guidance section on the same site, 'Guia e Orientação', is intended to help patients prepare for surgery and understand what each procedure involves.

Recovery is a central question for anyone considering a deep plane facelift, and planning for it starts at the consultation. Swelling and bruising usually settle over the first two weeks, while the final result continues to refine over several months as the deeper tissues heal.

Rio de Janeiro has a long association with aesthetic surgery, and DeepPlane.com lists nine deep plane facelift surgeons in the city. Dr. Minchio is one of them, and the comparison section on this profile sets the surgeon's recorded experience against that local group.
