Paulo Solano

With short-scar mastopexy paired with liposculpture and abdominoplasty, a single surgical plan can target firmness, reduced flaccidity, and a refined abdominal contour—already visible at 3 months. At the clinic in Florianópolis, Paulo Solano is a plastic surgeon who builds these results around individualized planning, including how implant choice, skin quality, and scar pattern work together. His approach is also explicitly structured around safety steps before surgery, and close postoperative guidance after the operation. Paulo Solano’s practice covers breast procedures such as mastopexy (breast lift) with and without implants, and mammoplasty with breast implants. He also performs body contouring combinations, including lipoabdominoplasty concepts and Lipo HD for high-definition contour refinement. In his educational materials, he highlights that implant volume alone does not determine the final look—proportion, tissue support, and positioning are central to long-term stability.

Education

• Medical degree — Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS).
• General Surgery residency — Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre.
• Plastic Surgery residency — Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre (UFCSPA) (Santa Casa of Porto Alegre is also mentioned as part of his Plastic Surgery training).

Work experience

• Plastic surgeon — practices in his own office in the Center of Florianópolis.

Clinical focus and techniques

His breast surgery planning is presented as a process that starts with examination and ends with a tailored choice of implant plan and scar pattern—rather than a fixed formula. For patients, this matters because the same implant volume can look different depending on skin laxity, areola position, and the amount of tissue that needs repositioning.

• Mastopexy (breast lift), including short-scar approaches and mastopexy with L-shaped scar planning.
• Mastopexy under general anesthesia in a hospital setting.
• Mammoplasty (breast augmentation with breast implants), including procedures performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting.
• Breast augmentation using a retromuscular implant plane (implant positioned under the biological capsule and below the pectoral muscle).
• High-definition liposculpture (Lipo HD) for contour definition of localized, resistant fat.
• Combined procedures described as mastopexy with short-scar technique plus liposculpture and abdominoplasty.
• Internal support concepts for implant stability, including the use of a dermal matrix/tissue support (“matrix dérmica”) to reinforce positioning and reduce risks such as implant displacement and rippling visibility.
• Capsular contracture management described as a surgical treatment when the capsule becomes rigid and causes deformation or pain.

Professional societies and certifications

• CRM-SC 24581.
• RQE 15249.
• Full Member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP).

Academic output

He is presented as focused on clinical education through detailed, procedure-specific guidance for patients, including explanations of implant planning, scar patterns, recovery phases, and long-term scar remodeling.

Courses and advanced training

• Advanced training is reflected through his residency pathway in General Surgery and Plastic Surgery in Porto Alegre (Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre; UFCSPA and Santa Casa of Porto Alegre are both referenced as part of his Plastic Surgery training).

Awards and recognition

• No specific awards are stated in the clinic materials provided.

Paulo Solano is based in Florianópolis and treats international patients through the clinic’s appointment process. His materials emphasize that surgery planning begins with preoperative evaluation and lab tests to guide anesthesia and risk planning, and that scar care can extend for 12 to 18 months, including preventive silicone tape use during the remodeling period. For patients deciding between options like implants alone versus mastopexy with implants, he consistently frames the choice around examination findings—skin laxity, areola position, and the need to reposition tissue—not just desired volume.
