Specialties and Surgical Procedures

The clinic focuses on body contouring, breast surgery, and facial rejuvenation. Every treatment plan begins with a consultation. The team reviews medical history and body proportions to determine risks and technical limits for each patient.

Body Contouring and Remodeling

Surgeons reshape the abdomen and limbs using various techniques. These methods treat excess skin and muscle separation. Common procedures include:

• Abdominoplasty – Treats abdominal skin laxity and repairs diastasis (muscle separation).
• Liposuction and Liposculpture – Removes localized fat with specialized techniques.
• Lipo HD – A high-definition approach to enhance muscle definition.
• Full Body Lift – Full remodeling after major weight loss.

Abdominoplasty typically takes 2 to 5 hours. Patients can usually return to work within 2 to 4 weeks.

Breast and Male Chest Surgery

The clinic offers aesthetic and reconstructive breast procedures. Mastopexy (breast lift) is available with or without silicone implants. Specialists also treat gynecomastia – abnormal growth of male breast glands. They correct this through liposuction or direct removal of glandular tissue. Most gynecomastia surgeries take about one hour.

Facial Rejuvenation and Rhinoplasty

Facial procedures address signs of aging or structural nasal issues. The mini facelift targets the mid-face and cheeks to reduce sagging. It takes 1 to 2 hours with a one-week recovery. Surgeons also perform rhinoplasty to modify the nasal tip or dorsum. This surgery can include septal deviation correction to improve breathing.

Advanced Technologies and Equipment

The clinic uses several platforms for skin tightening and fat removal. These tools allow precise tissue remodeling:

• Vibrolipo and VASER – Ultrasound-assisted systems for smoother fat extraction.
• Renuvion and Argoplasma – Helium plasma technologies for skin retraction.
• Morpheus8 – Combines microneedling with radiofrequency.
• Low-Level Laser – Supports healing through photobiomodulation.

These platforms help reduce bruising and improve final contours.

Post-Operative Recovery Protocols

Recovery follows a structured physiotherapy protocol. This supports healing and helps prevent complications like fibrosis. Follow-up care includes:

• Lymphatic drainage – A specialized physiotherapist performs this to reduce swelling.
• Manual therapy – Hands-on techniques improve circulation and comfort.
• Electrotherapy – Specific devices assist advanced recovery phases.
• Movement guidance – Tailored exercises and stretching restore mobility.

The clinic provides specific timelines for returning to work and physical activity after each procedure.

Services for International Patients

International care is organized for patients living outside Brazil. The team speaks Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Coordination services include:

• Initial online assessment for remote evaluation
• Remote analysis of medical exams
