Dr. Gustavo Sela

Dr. Gustavo Sela is a private facial plastic surgery practice in Curitiba, Brazil. Established in 2016, the clinic specializes in facial aesthetics and functional corrections. It focuses on procedures that harmonize facial features while preserving natural expressions.

Professional Expertise and Surgical Statistics

Dr. Gustavo Sela leads the practice. He has around 10 years of professional experience and has performed over 3,000 facial surgeries worldwide. Dr. Sela trained at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). He holds a background in Otolaryngology and a Fellowship in Facial Plastic Surgery.

Beyond clinical practice, Dr. Sela contributes to advanced medical education. He co-founded a specialized course in high-definition rhinoplasty. He also presents at major medical events, including the University of São Paulo Otolaryngology Foundation Congress.

Facial Plastic Surgery and Rhinoplasty

Rhinoplasty is a core specialty at the clinic, covering both aesthetic and functional needs. Dr. Sela performs several variations:

• Ultrasonic rhinoplasty – uses ultrasound to reshape nasal bones with high precision and less tissue trauma.
• Closed and open rhinoplasty – tailored approaches based on nasal structure complexity.
• Revision rhinoplasty – corrective surgery for patients who have had previous nasal procedures.
• Functional correction – addresses issues like septal deviation to improve breathing.

The clinic uses computerized simulation during planning. This lets patients visualize realistic outcomes before surgery. Some complex rhinoplasty results may continue to evolve for up to two years as tissues fully settle.

Facial Rejuvenation and Contour Procedures

The practice offers surgical solutions for the aging face and neck. The Deep Plane Facelift repositions deep tissues, providing structural support without an artificial look. For neck refinement, the clinic offers the Deep Neck procedure.

This approach targets the chin-to-neck transition. It eliminates double chin and redefines the jawline. Surgical options are often paired with regenerative technologies – Nanofat, PDRN, and exosomes – to improve skin quality and volume.

Additional facial procedures include:

• Blepharoplasty – removes excess skin and fat bags from the upper and lower eyelids.
• Otoplasty – corrects ear shape and position.
• Frontoplasty and Brow Lifting – repositions the forehead and brow for a refreshed look.

The clinic also provides non-surgical rejuvenation using fractionated CO2 laser. This treatment works alone or combined with surgery to address skin laxity.

Technology and Safety Protocols

The clinic follows structured safety protocols from the first consultation through full recovery. Surgical planning is highly personalized to match patient goals with their anatomy. To manage postoperative inflammation, the practice uses Hilotherm technology.

Hilotherm provides precise temperature control to the treated area. This reduces swelling and bruising right after surgery. After rhinoplasty, patients typically rest for 7 days before gradually returning to daily routines. Sports activities usually resume after about 4 weeks.

Services for International Patients

Dr. Gustavo Sela treats patients from Brazil and abroad. The clinic offers online consultations, so international patients can discuss their goals before traveling. Support is available in several languages:

• English
• Portuguese
• Spanish

The medical team provides full postoperative support for proper healing and long-term monitoring. Patients receive detailed care guidance, such as avoiding sun exposure after laser treatments to protect the skin.
