Facelift in clinic França

Clinic França is a private plastic surgery practice in the Bigorrilho district of Curitiba, Brazil.

Dr. Antonio Luiz Francalacci França leads all procedures and manages the clinic's surgical and non-surgical care.

Accreditations and Specialist Qualifications

The clinic holds accreditations from TEMOS and the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). Dr. França is board-certified and a full member of the SBCP. He also earned a Master's degree in Plastic Surgery from the Federal University of Paraná.

Dr. França completed advanced training at several recognized institutions:

He is an active member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS).

Hair Restoration and Alopecia Treatment

The clinic specializes in androgenetic alopecia and other forms of hair loss. Specialists perform hair transplants using both Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). For patients with extensive hair loss, the clinic offers FUE "Mega Sessions."

FUE Mega Sessions place the maximum number of grafts from the donor area in a single visit. The clinic uses dermojet technology – a needle-free system that delivers anesthesia without pain. A coordinated team of 4 to 10 professionals performs meticulous extraction. This approach protects graft viability and reduces procedure time.

Facial and Body Plastic Surgery

Dr. França specializes in Deep Plane Facelift and Deep Neck techniques. These procedures address facial aging by repositioning deeper tissue layers, not just stretching skin. The clinic also offers outpatient blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery). This procedure typically takes two hours and allows same-day discharge.

Body contouring services include:

• Liposuction and liposculpture for localized fat removal
• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to address excess skin and muscle laxity
• Breast augmentation with inframammary or transaxillary incisions
• Male breast reduction for gynecomastia
• Calf and gluteal implants

For gynecomastia, the clinic treats isolated and mixed cases involving both excess fat and glandular tissue. Patients follow specific recovery protocols, such as sleeping with an elevated trunk to manage swelling.

Aesthetic Medicine and Non-Surgical Slimming

The clinic offers minimally invasive options for patients who don't need major surgery. Fios de Sustentação are absorbable lifting threads made of biocompatible material. These sutures provide immediate tissue support and stimulate collagen production. Results typically last 18 to 24 months.

Face thinning uses Bichectomia, also known as buccal fat extraction. This surgery removes small fat pockets from the cheeks through an incision inside the mouth. This means no visible scarring. Other aesthetic services include botulinum toxin injections, skin fillers, and chemical peels.

Patient Services and Technology

The clinic uses superficial, medium, and deep acid peels to treat acne, sunspots, and fine lines. For hair therapy, the team uses high-frequency and ionization tools. Patients from Brazil and abroad must complete a pre-consultation form about their health history and goals before scheduling an in-person evaluation.
