Dr. Mario Bongiolo: more details about the clinic

Brazil, Curitiba

Dr. Mario Bongiolo is a private plastic surgery practice in the Água Verde neighborhood of Curitiba, Brazil. The clinic focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive body shaping through individualized planning and extended consultations. Dr. Mario Bongiolo leads the practice and coordinates every stage of the surgical journey.

Key Facts and Achievements

Dr. Mario Bongiolo has over 17 years of experience in plastic surgery. Since 2009, he has performed more than 3,000 surgeries. He is certified by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), the primary regulatory body for specialists in Brazil.

The clinic follows structured safety protocols for all procedures. For breast augmentation, it uses a specific 14-point safety checklist. Dr. Bongiolo also served as a preceptor for plastic surgery services, training other doctors in the field.

Specialties and Procedures

The clinic specializes in breast surgery, abdominal contouring, and advanced liposuction. Each plan follows a detailed analysis of tissue quality and patient goals. Dr. Bongiolo is known for structured mastopexy and high-definition body contouring.

Breast Surgery and R24 Protocol

The flagship breast service is the R24 rapid-recovery implant approach. This protocol uses Dual Plane positioning, placing the implant in two different tissue planes. The goal is early rehabilitation. Patients typically move their arms three hours after surgery and return to routine within 24 hours.

For breast lifting, the clinic offers Mastopexia Estruturada. This technique uses internal support structures, such as a muscular strap, to maintain long-term lift. Revision cases focus on rebuilding the breast base rather than just changing implant size.

Abdominal and Body Contouring

The clinic offers abdominoplasty without drains using the Baroudi technique. This method uses 30–40 adhesion points to fix tissue progressively, so external drains aren't needed. This reduces post-operative discomfort. For abdominal muscle separation, the MILA technique allows correction through smaller access points.

Liposuction procedures use ultrasound and radiofrequency technologies for precision. These methods emulsify fat before removal to protect surrounding tissues. The clinic offers several body shaping options:

  • Vaser Liposuction for precise removal of deep and superficial fat layers.
  • High-Definition (HD) Lipo to create athletic muscle definition.
  • Liposculpture to relocate fat and balance body proportions.
  • 360 Liposuction for circumferential contouring of the torso.

Equipment and Technologies

Dr. Bongiolo uses specific technology platforms to improve skin retraction and fat removal. These tools deliver more precise results than traditional suction methods. The clinic has several recognized systems:

  • VASER ultrasound technology for emulsifying fat cells.
  • Renuvion and Argoplasma for tightening skin after fat removal.
  • Quantum RF25 and Ignite radiofrequency platforms for skin laxity.

All major surgeries take place in a hospital setting. Dr. Bongiolo frequently operates at Hospital Muricy to access full surgical infrastructure.

Services for International Patients

The clinic offers dedicated support for patients traveling from abroad. A multidisciplinary team assists with planning, surgery, and recovery. Staff provide continuous follow-up throughout the post-operative period. Communication is available in three languages:

  • Portuguese
  • English
  • Spanish

Planning includes a review of medical history and exams before travel. The team stays available throughout recovery to monitor healing progress.

I don’t have anything to say regarding the entire process, from the first consultation with Dr. Mario Bongiolo until 6 months after my surgery. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT, WAY TOO PERFECT!!! To the whole team (from the guy who manages the parking, to the women at reception (Helena), the support for questions, quotes, guidance for pre- and post-surgery, etc. (Adriana), the nurse (Sonia)). No questions were left unanswered; they always provided all the guidance. They never refused to help us on WhatsApp, even on weekends when I needed it. Pre-operative care, post-operative care, in the office—everything. In short, there are many qualities to talk about, and you can be sure that when I want to do a new procedure, I won’t think twice about where to go: Clínica Dr. Mario Bongiolo!

I went to a consultation with Dr. Mário and I really liked it. He was extremely attentive and explained everything very clearly. I was left with a great impression and I would have complete confidence in having the procedure done with him. However, the price charged is well above what I can invest at the moment—it’s more than double what the other two surgeons charged.

Dr Mário is simply wonderful. I had mastopexy with an implant, and it turned out the size and way I asked for. The best part of all is that he is very humane and patient—he always answers our questions with a lot of education and care, even when we ask the same thing several times. The important thing for him is that the patient doesn’t have any doubts.

Very happy with my surgery! Impeccable—an extremely thin scar, a dream! Dr. Mario and the team are fantastic! Humanized care, attentive from the pre-op through the post-op period!

About 5 years ago I had surgery with him and I loved the result. Today it’s different from what it used to be. I had a corrective surgery on my belly, because, after all, when I was a baby I had surgery on the esophagus. The scarring was from the inside out, so it went from inside to outside. And it was all wrinkled. Then, at 21 years old, I had this corrective surgery.

Excellent service. I’ve been very well taken care of from reception until the present moment, and during my visits at the office I’m being followed by Dr. Mário Bongiolo with a lot of dedication. Adriana is always attentive and never fails to answer any question. A team rated 10. They are truly prepared to fulfill dreams. May they continue with this dedication and love for others as long as they live.
