Deep Plane Facelift in clinic Dr. Marcelus Nigro
About the clinic
Deep plane facelift at Clinic Dr. Marcelus Nigro in Curitiba, Brazil, offers a structural approach to facial rejuvenation. This procedure focuses on repositioning deep muscles and fat rather than just stretching the skin. Patients benefit from the expertise of Dr. Marcelus Nigro, who brings over 20 years of experience to every surgery.
Advanced Facelift Techniques
The deep plane facelift, or rhytidectomy, addresses both superficial and deep tissues. Unlike traditional methods, it does not create a "pulled" look. Dr. Marcelus Nigro repositions the facial muscles and fat to restore youthful volume. This technique preserves natural expressions while removing excess skin. The surgery typically takes 2 to 3 hours to complete.
To keep scarring discreet, incisions are hidden in strategic locations. These include the scalp, the areas in front of and behind the ears, and under the chin. Many patients choose to combine this surgery with blepharoplasty. Adding eyelid surgery helps achieve a more complete rejuvenation of the entire face.
Expert Surgical Care in Curitiba
Dr. Marcelus Nigro leads the surgical team with high-level qualifications. He holds a PhD in Plastic Surgery from the University of São Paulo. Currently, Dr. Marcelus Nigro serves as the Chief of Plastic Surgery and Burns at Hospital Universitário Evangélico Mackenzie. He is an active member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).
The clinic holds TEMOS International Healthcare Accreditation, reflecting its commitment to global standards. International patients can receive care in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. The facility focuses on safety and personalized surgical planning for every individual.
Recovery and Results
Most patients stay in the hospital for 12 to 24 hours after the procedure. In some cases, the stay may extend to 48 hours. The recovery process includes specific steps to help healing:
- Rest completely for the first 7 to 10 days.
- Keep the head elevated while sleeping for one week.
- Wear a compression garment as directed by Dr. Marcelus Nigro.
- Use lymphatic drainage sessions at the clinic to lower swelling.

Facial Surgery and Rhinoplasty
The clinic specializes in facial contouring with a focus on natural, lasting results. Dr. Nigro performs rhinoplasty using open, closed, and structured techniques. These methods allow for both aesthetic reshaping and functional nasal correction. Each surgical plan begins with a detailed evaluation of the patient's goals and health.
Facelift procedures are customized to address specific areas. The clinic offers several lifting options:
- Full face and neck lifting
- Upper third (forehead) lifting
- Middle and lower third facial lifting
- Endoscopic facelift for targeted rejuvenation
Facial surgeries generally take under 3 hours. Recovery requires 7 to 10 days of absolute rest, then 30 days of limited activity. Results for most facial procedures begin to stabilize after two months.
Body Contouring and Breast Reconstruction
Body sculpting includes vibro-liposuction. This technology uses automated movement to remove localized fat from the abdomen, back, and limbs. The clinic also performs abdominoplasty for patients seeking abdominal correction after pregnancy or weight loss. Surgeons treat gynecomastia using VASER liposuction to redefine the chest.
Breast procedures cover both aesthetic and reconstructive needs. Dr. Nigro performs breast lifts using various incision patterns, such as the vertical or "T" technique. Reconstruction is available for patients who have had partial or full breast gland removal. These surgeries may include silicone implants when needed.
International Patient Services
The clinic treats both local and international patients. The medical team speaks Portuguese, English, and Spanish. A dedicated coordinator manages everything from the first consultation through final follow-up. A nursing technician provides specialized support before and after surgery.
Post-operative care follows a clear schedule. Patients return for a follow-up visit on the 7th or 8th day after surgery. Additional evaluations occur once or twice over the following three months. The clinic provides care through its own facility and Hospital Evangélico Mackenzie.
