Settoplastica (Chirurgia del setto nasale deviato) in Dr. André Maschio

Dr. André Maschio is a private plastic surgery practice in Curitiba, Brazil. The clinic focuses on aesthetic procedures for the face, body, and intimate areas. Dr. André Maschio, the founder and primary surgeon, coordinates care across locations in Curitiba and Fazenda Rio Grande.

Accreditations and Training Standards

The clinic operates under strict professional standards verified by national and international organizations. Dr. André Maschio is a board-certified specialist and an active member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). He also holds accreditation from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).

Before beginning his practice, Dr. Maschio completed over 17,000 hours of specialized training. This includes three years of general surgery residency followed by three years in plastic surgery. He earned his medical degree from the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná (PUC/PR). He then completed his general surgery residency at Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Curitiba.

Facial Rejuvenation and Ear Correction

Dr. Maschio specializes in Deep Plane Facelift techniques to achieve natural-looking results. He teaches this method, leading advanced training courses in Portugal and Brazil. The approach repositions deep facial tissues rather than just stretching the skin surface.

For patients seeking less invasive facial work, the clinic offers several options:

• Endoscopic lifting – uses a micro-camera through small scalp incisions
• Blepharoplasty – surgical correction of the eyelids
• Endoscopic brow lift – lifts the brow and treats forehead wrinkles
• Otoplasty – corrects prominent ears or asymmetries

Ear correction surgery is available for children starting at age six, when ear structure is fully developed. Surgeons place incisions behind the ear to keep scars hidden. The procedure typically takes one hour and requires 12 to 24 hours of hospitalization.

Body Contouring and Breast Surgery

The clinic offers high-definition body sculpting using energy-assisted technologies. Dr. Maschio performs High-definition liposuction (Lipo HD) to remove localized fat and define muscle contours. He often combines this with skin tightening methods to address mild-to-moderate laxity.

Breast surgeries are customized based on the patient's anatomy and volume goals:

• Breast augmentation – using round, anatomical, or conical silicone implants
• Mastopexy – breast lift performed with or without implants
• Reduction mammoplasty – breast reduction using L-shaped or anchor incisions
• Gynecomastia correction – surgical treatment for male breast enlargement

Safety protocols limit combined surgeries to six hours maximum. If a complex plan exceeds this time, the doctor splits treatment into two sessions. This reduces surgical risks and supports better recovery.

Advanced Technologies and Equipment

The clinic uses specific platforms for fat removal and tissue tightening. These tools allow more precise results than traditional methods. Key technologies include:

• Renuvion – uses cold plasma to tighten skin via micro-incisions
• Vaser – ultrasound-assisted technology that liquefies fat before suction
• Ignite – radiofrequency-based tissue heating system
• Vibroliposuction – uses vibrating cannulas for gentler fat removal

Pre-operative diagnostics are done on-site or through partner labs. Standard exams include hemograms, renal function tests, and electrocardiograms. Breast surgeries require recent mammography and ultrasound scans.

Services for International Patients

International patients receive support to coordinate treatment around their travel schedules. The clinic offers consultations in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Dr. Maschio emphasizes a safety-first approach, starting with a detailed assessment of each patient's health history. Recovery guides are provided for every surgical case – for example, the required 45-day use of compression garments after abdominoplasty.
