Implants
Motiva
FDA-approved silicone implants with a SmoothSilk surface, including the Ergonomix shape that moves with your body. They're placed with the Keller Funnel, so the implant isn't handled directly.

The approach
Good cosmetic surgery shouldn't announce itself. I'm a reconstructive and hand surgeon by training, so I pay close attention to anatomy, tissue and detail. That's how I pursue results that look natural and stay that way.

Breast
Natural breast surgery
Breast surgery is the core of my practice. I size each implant to your frame. I use Motiva implants and a no-touch insertion technique, and I often place the implant above the muscle for a softer, more natural shape.

Signature procedure
Motiva Preservé
Preservé is a minimally invasive augmentation that uses a smaller implant through a short incision. It disturbs less tissue and gives a subtle, natural enhancement, and many patients are back to their routine within days. I was the first surgeon in Nebraska to offer it.

Body
Body contouring
I contour the whole torso, front, sides and back, so the result looks balanced from every angle. I use the AYON system, which combines ultrasound and power-assisted liposuction, with Renuvion to help the skin contract.

Face
Facial rejuvenation
Facial rejuvenation means restoring structure and volume without changing who you are. My goal is that people think you look rested, not that you had surgery.

Gustavo R. Machado, MD
Brazil → Argentina → California → Nebraska
I'm a Brazilian-born, U.S. board-certified plastic surgeon. I earned my medical degree in Argentina, then did all of my surgical training in the United States: plastic and reconstructive surgery at Loma Linda University in California, and a fellowship in hand and upper extremity surgery at UC Irvine.
I've practiced in Lincoln since 2012, and I'm Chief of Plastic Surgery at Bryan Health, where I still care for trauma, hand and reconstructive patients. Over the past few years I've focused more on aesthetic surgery, especially natural breast surgery and body contouring. That reconstructive background, with its respect for anatomy and healing, is what I bring to every cosmetic patient.
I speak English, Portuguese and Spanish, and I treat every patient the way I'd want my own family treated. Away from the OR, you'll usually find me with my family or on a tennis court.
