Buccal fat extraction at Camara Lopes Clinic in Curitiba, Brazil, helps patients achieve a more defined facial structure by removing Bichat’s fat pads from the cheeks. This surgical procedure is performed by Dr. Sérgio Camara Lopes, a plastic surgeon certified by the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica (SBCP). The clinic has performed over 5,000 procedures since it was founded in 2006.
The surgery focuses on thinning the face and making cheekbones look more prominent. It involves the removal of specific fat pads through small incisions inside the mouth. This helps reduce the look of round or full cheeks and improves overall facial harmony. The process is quick, typically taking between 30 minutes and one hour. Most patients undergo the treatment under local anesthesia.
Dr. Sérgio Camara Lopes leads the surgical team at the clinic. He specializes in both plastic surgery and craniomaxillofacial surgery. His board certification from the SBCP confirms his specialized training in facial contouring. The clinic also uses a team approach, combining the skills of a plastic surgeon and a dermatologist for patient care.
The recovery process for buccal fat removal is relatively fast. Most patients return to light activities within 2 or 3 days. Swelling usually starts to go down after about one week. During the first 48 hours, patients should use cold compresses to manage swelling. The clinic recommends a diet of liquid or soft foods during the initial healing phase. Patients must avoid hard or hot foods and stay out of the sun for at least one to two weeks.

Camara Lopes Clinic, also known as Instituto Camara Lopes, is a private medical facility in Curitiba, Brazil. Established in 2006, the clinic operates with four specialized departments. It provides integrated care in hair restoration, plastic surgery, and advanced dermatology.
The medical team has performed more than 5,000 procedures. Operations are led by two board-certified specialists. Dr. Sérgio Camara Lopes is a plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience. Dr. Alessandra Bernardi Camara Lopes is a dermatologist specializing in trichology – the study of hair and scalp health. The clinic manages high volumes, typically planning 3,500 to 4,500 hair grafts per day.
Every hair loss case gets a two-perspective evaluation. A plastic surgeon and a trichologist assess the patient together to create a plan. Specialists use the FUE technique for extraction combined with DHI implantation. This allows precise follicle placement to restore natural frontal hairlines.
Restoration options at the clinic include:
Eyebrow follicles are placed at flat angles to mimic natural growth. Patients typically see final results within 10 to 12 months.
The surgical department performs facial, breast, and body contouring procedures. Dr. Sérgio Camara Lopes leads these operations, focusing on functional and aesthetic improvements. The clinic offers Mommy Makeover programs that combine breast surgery, abdominoplasty, and liposuction in one tailored plan.
Common surgical procedures include:
Specialists also perform blepharoplasty to rejuvenate the eye area. Facial procedures like mentoplasty (chin surgery) typically take 1 to 2 hours.
The clinic uses specific technology platforms to improve surgical and dermatological outcomes. Surgeons use VASER technology for lipoaspiration, which emulsifies fat before removal. The Laser Fotona system is available for advanced skin treatments and hair growth protocols. Body contouring tools include Argoplasma and Morpheus for skin tightening during liposuction.
Care begins with a medical evaluation, then moves to surgical planning. For safety, the clinic requires pre-operative exams and stopping medications that affect coagulation. The team provides support before, during, and after surgery. Post-operative care often includes lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and fibrosis. Staff speak Portuguese, English, and Spanish to accommodate international patients.
