Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
The surgical department offers a broad spectrum of body contouring and restorative procedures. Specialists perform abdominoplasty, including complex cases for patients after bariatric weight loss. Surgeons also provide lipoaspiration for localized fat removal and fat grafting to reshape specific body areas.
Breast surgery is a core focus, covering several specialized methods:
- Breast augmentation with silicone implants
- Mastopexy (breast lift) to address sagging
- Mamoplastia redutora (breast reduction)
- Breast explant procedures for implant removal
- Reconstructive surgery following breast cancer
For male patients, the clinic offers gynecomastia surgery. This procedure treats enlarged male breast tissue caused by hormonal or genetic factors. The clinic also performs minor outpatient surgeries, such as the removal of skin tumors, cysts, and moles.
Integrated Nutrition and Slimming Programs
Alpha Anima operates the Enjoy Life program to support metabolic health and surgical results. Dr. Paula Naomi Tujimoto, a physician and nutritionist, leads the nutritional department. She specializes in therapeutic nutrition for obesity, diabetes, and hypertension.
The program provides structured guidance for weight loss and post-operative healing. Nutritionists design plans that prioritize protein and vitamin intake to speed tissue repair. They also educate patients on avoiding inflammatory triggers – such as alcohol and ultra-processed foods – during recovery.
Recovery Protocols and Patient Safety
Safety starts with an indispensable medical check-up and thorough exams before any surgery. The clinic follows a structured preparation phase to reduce infection and complication risks. Surgeons and nutritionists work together to align patient expectations with realistic outcomes.
Post-operative care is closely managed to ensure proper healing. The clinic integrates specific recovery services into each treatment plan:
- Lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and prevent fibrosis
- Guided use of compression garments to manage edema
- Specialized scar care including mandatory sun protection
- Hydration protocols to support skin elasticity
Specialists provide consultations in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.
