clinic Brio

Clinic Brio is a private plastic surgery facility in the Savassi neighborhood of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Dr. Kayo Vieira Teodorak Pêgo founded it in 2024. The clinic focuses on individualized surgical planning and safety. All procedures take place within the Hospital Mater Dei network, so patients have access to full hospital infrastructure.

Medical Expertise and Academic Training

Board-certified plastic surgeons with backgrounds in general and reconstructive surgery lead the clinic. Dr. Kayo Vieira Teodorak Pêgo completed his general surgery residency at Hospital Mater Dei. He then specialized in plastic surgery at Hospital da Baleia. Dr. José Flávio Mendes Mafra holds certification from the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery.

The medical team actively participates in professional training and education. Dr. André Mafra coordinates the plastic surgery team and has led training programs. He represented Hospital Mater Dei's plastic surgery service at the 18th DESC for plastic surgery residents.

Plastic Surgery Specialties

Clinic Brio offers a broad range of surgical options for body and facial enhancement. Each procedure follows a structured journey from pre-operative exams to specialized rehabilitation. The clinic covers several key areas:

• Breast Surgery: Mastopexy (breast lift), reduction, reconstruction, and implant removal.
• Body Contouring: Liposculpture, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), and gluteoplasty.
• Post-Bariatric Remodeling: Reconstruction after major weight loss, including brachioplasty and cruroplasty.
• Facial Surgery: Facelifts and blepharoplasty for eyelid sagging.
• Reconstructive Care: Burn treatment, skin tumor removal, and scar correction.

Abdominoplasty improves abdominal contour after pregnancy or weight loss. Surgeons plan each case individually to address specific tissue laxity and excess skin.

Aesthetic Medicine and Cosmetology

The clinic offers non-surgical treatments for expression lines and signs of aging. A clinical evaluation comes first to ensure natural-looking results that preserve facial movement. Specialists use botulinum toxin (Botox) in three primary areas:

• Forehead expression lines
• Lines between the eyebrows
• Crow's feet around the eyes

Individual planning aligns patient expectations with realistic outcomes before treatment begins.

Post-Operative Support

Recovery involves both surgeons and specialized physiotherapists working together. Dr. Izabela Santos Azevedo provides physiotherapy focused on therapeutic compression. This approach reduces swelling and improves healing during recovery.

Post-operative care includes specialized compression garments and scheduled follow-up appointments. When needed, the team provides manual lymphatic drainage. This structured support continues through all healing stages to protect surgical results.

International Patient Services

Clinic Brio offers personalized guidance for patients traveling from abroad. Online consultations allow initial evaluations and surgical planning before arrival in Brazil. Dedicated digital channels handle communication and scheduling to support recovery planning and logistics.
