Deep Plane Facelift (Regenerative)

Dr. Zamarian's signature procedure. This advanced technique goes beneath the SMAS layer to release and reposition facial tissues at a deeper level, producing results that are dramatically more natural and longer-lasting than traditional facelifts. His approach combines Deep Plane + Deep Neck Lift with microfat grafting for volume restoration and nanofat rich in ADSCs stem cells for skin regeneration. He uses the Auersvald hemostatic mesh, eliminating the need for drains. Results last 10 to 15 years.

Structured Rhinoplasty

Open approach rhinoplasty that preserves and strengthens the nasal structure rather than simply removing tissue. This technique addresses both aesthetic concerns (shape, proportion, harmony) and functional issues (breathing obstruction, deviated septum). Dr. Zamarian trained with Dr. Dean Toriumi and Dr. Ali Sajjadian, two of the most respected rhinoplasty surgeons in the United States.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

Upper and lower eyelid surgery to correct drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, and signs of aging around the eyes. Dr. Zamarian combines eyelid surgery with fat grafting to the tear trough (dark circles area) for a refreshed, youthful appearance without the hollow look that can result from tissue removal alone.

Otoplasty (Ear Correction)

Correction of prominent or protruding ears using a minimally invasive technique. Suitable for adults and children, this procedure reshapes the ear cartilage to create a more balanced, natural appearance. Results are permanent with minimal visible scarring.

Mentoplasty (Chin Surgery)

Chin augmentation or reduction surgery for facial profile harmonization. A well-proportioned chin enhances the balance between the nose, lips, and jawline. Frequently combined with rhinoplasty or facelift for optimal facial harmony.

Facial Fat Grafting (Lipofilling)

Autologous fat transfer to restore facial volume, smooth wrinkles, and rejuvenate the face naturally using the patient's own fat. This technique provides long-lasting results with the added benefit of stem cell-enriched tissue for improved skin quality.

Additional Facial Procedures

Dr. Zamarian also performs Lip Lift (shortening the distance between the nose and upper lip for a more youthful appearance), Brow Lift (elevating drooping eyebrows), and Bichectomy (buccal fat removal for facial slimming). These procedures can be performed individually or combined with other surgeries.

Ninfoplastia / Labiaplasty (Wedge Technique)

Reduction and reshaping of the labia minora using the Wedge technique, learned directly from Dr. Gary Alter in Los Angeles — one of the world's foremost authorities on genital aesthetic surgery. Unlike the trim technique, the Wedge preserves the natural border, original coloration, and full sensitivity of the labia minora, producing the most natural-looking results possible.

Additional Intimate Procedures

Dr. Zamarian offers a comprehensive range of female intimate surgery procedures, including Labia Majora Reduction, Labia Majora Fat Grafting, Pubic Liposuction (mons pubis reduction), Clitoroplasty / Prepucioplasty (clitoral hood reduction), and Vaginoplasty / Perineoplasty (vaginal tightening and perineal repair). Each procedure is performed with the utmost respect for patient comfort and privacy.

1. Why choose a board-certified plastic surgeon in Brazil?

Brazil is one of the world's leading countries in plastic surgery, with a long tradition of excellence dating back to Professor Ivo Pitanguy. Board certification by the SBCP (Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica) requires a minimum of 5 years of post-graduate surgical training, including at least 3 years dedicated exclusively to plastic surgery. Dr. Zamarian is a Titular Member of the SBCP and also a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), ensuring he meets the highest international standards. Brazil also offers significant cost savings compared to the United States and Europe, without compromising on quality or safety.

2. What is the Deep Plane facelift technique and how is it different?

The Deep Plane facelift is the most advanced facelift technique available today. Unlike traditional facelifts that only tighten the skin or the superficial SMAS layer, the Deep Plane technique goes beneath the SMAS to release and reposition the deeper facial structures, including the ligaments that cause jowling and nasolabial folds. This produces results that look natural (not "pulled" or "windswept"), last significantly longer (10 to 15 years), and require less tension on the skin, which means better healing and less visible scars. Dr. Zamarian learned this technique directly from Dr. Tim Marten and Dr. Mike Nayak, two of the foremost Deep Plane facelift specialists in the United States.

3. What is the recovery time for a Deep Plane facelift?

Most patients can return to light social activities within 2 to 3 weeks after a Deep Plane facelift. Significant swelling and bruising typically subside within the first 10 to 14 days. Dr. Zamarian's technique using the Auersvald hemostatic mesh eliminates the need for surgical drains, which contributes to a more comfortable recovery. Most patients travel home within 7 to 10 days after surgery. Final results continue to refine over 3 to 6 months as residual swelling resolves.

4. Does Dr. Zamarian perform rhinoplasty for both aesthetic and functional purposes?

Yes. Dr. Zamarian performs Structured Rhinoplasty using an open approach that addresses both the aesthetic appearance and functional aspects of the nose. This means he can correct a deviated septum, improve breathing obstruction, and reshape the nose for better facial harmony — all in the same procedure. His technique preserves and strengthens the nasal structure rather than simply removing cartilage, which produces more stable long-term results and avoids the "operated" look. He trained with Dr. Dean Toriumi (Chicago) and Dr. Ali Sajjadian (Newport Beach), who are internationally recognized authorities in rhinoplasty.

5. What is the Wedge technique for labiaplasty?

The Wedge technique is a specialized method for labiaplasty (ninfoplastia) that removes a V-shaped wedge of tissue from the labia minora rather than trimming along the edge. The key advantage is that it preserves the natural border, original coloration, and full sensitivity of the labia, producing the most natural-looking results possible. Dr. Zamarian learned this technique directly from Dr. Gary Alter in Los Angeles, one of the world's foremost authorities on genital aesthetic surgery. The procedure takes approximately 1 to 2 hours and most patients return to normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks.

6. Is it safe to travel to Londrina, Brazil for plastic surgery?

Yes. Londrina is a modern, safe city of approximately 600,000 people in southern Brazil (Paraná state), with excellent healthcare infrastructure. The city has a modern airport (LDB) with daily connections to São Paulo and other major cities. Dr. Zamarian's clinic is fully equipped and meets all safety standards required by Brazilian regulatory bodies. His team is experienced in assisting international patients with logistics, including airport transfers, hotel recommendations, and post-operative follow-up. His complication rate is below 3%, which is well below international benchmarks.

7. Does Dr. Zamarian offer virtual consultations for international patients?

Yes. Dr. Zamarian offers online video consultations for patients who live outside Londrina or outside Brazil. During the virtual consultation (approximately 40 minutes), he evaluates your concerns, discusses your goals, explains the recommended procedures, and answers all your questions. He can also review photos you provide in advance. This allows international patients to plan their trip to Brazil with confidence, knowing exactly what to expect. Virtual consultations can be scheduled through WhatsApp at +55 43 99192-2221.

8. How much does a consultation cost?

A first-time consultation with Dr. Zamarian costs R$ 800 (approximately USD 160), whether in-person or online. Follow-up consultations cost R$ 400 (approximately USD 80). The consultation lasts approximately 40 minutes. During this time, Dr. Zamarian conducts a thorough evaluation, discusses your goals and expectations, explains the recommended procedures in detail, and provides a personalized surgical plan. Surgery fees are discussed during the consultation and vary depending on the procedures selected.

9. Can I combine multiple facial procedures in one surgery?

Yes. Dr. Zamarian frequently combines procedures in a single surgical session when it is safe and beneficial for the patient. Common combinations include Deep Plane Facelift with Blepharoplasty, Rhinoplasty with Mentoplasty (chin surgery) for optimal facial harmony, and Blepharoplasty with Brow Lift. Combining procedures reduces total recovery time compared to having separate surgeries and can also offer cost advantages. During your consultation, Dr. Zamarian will recommend the best combination based on your individual goals and health status.

10. How long do facelift results last with the Deep Plane technique?

Results from a Deep Plane facelift typically last 10 to 15 years, which is significantly longer than traditional facelift techniques (which typically last 5 to 7 years). This is because the Deep Plane technique repositions the deeper facial structures rather than simply tightening the skin, creating a more stable and durable result. Additionally, Dr. Zamarian's use of nanofat rich in ADSCs (adipose-derived stem cells) helps regenerate and improve skin quality over time. While the aging process continues naturally, patients who undergo a Deep Plane facelift consistently look 10 to 15 years younger than their peers for many years after surgery.
