Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Procedures

The plastic surgery department offers a wide range of facial and body contouring operations. Surgeons follow a hospital-style workflow that covers every step from pre-operative planning to recovery. For facial procedures, the clinic uses ultrasound-guided surgical planning to map skin layers and blood vessels.

The clinic performs several types of body and facial surgeries:

• Rhinoplasty, including open and closed techniques
• Liposuction and high-definition Lipo HD
• Liposculpture using the patient's own fat for contouring
• Facelift and endoscopic facelift
• Mammoplasty and breast explant surgery
• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and buttock lifts

When patients need previous facial fillers removed before a facelift, specialists use ultrasound-guided hyaluronidase. This allows precise dissolution of hyaluronic acid.

Specialized Medical Directions

Beyond aesthetic surgery, the clinic provides specialty care through a multidisciplinary team. The Cardiology department, led by Dra. Sarah Fagundes Grobe, focuses on global cardiovascular risk stratification. This approach evaluates heart health based on multiple lifestyle and biological factors – not isolated data points.

The clinic also maintains active departments in other medical areas:

• Vascular Surgery for vein and circulatory treatments
• Otorhinolaryngology for ear, nose, and throat care
• Rheumatology for autoimmune and joint conditions
• Mastology for breast health and diagnostics
• Integrative medicine and nutrition services

Hair restoration services are also available, including transplantation and trichology treatments. The clinic features a hair spa with specialized tools for scalp and follicle health.

Technology and Diagnostic Tools

The facility integrates objective diagnostic technology into clinical decision-making. Physicians use bioimpedance analysis to get precise data on body composition. The modern surgical center is organized to optimize the positioning of materials and equipment.

Diagnostic capabilities include high-resolution ultrasonography. This tool lets doctors visualize deep facial structures and muscles during aesthetic planning, which helps increase accuracy and safety during injectable or surgical treatments.

Services for International Patients

The clinic treats patients from various regions and provides support in English and Spanish. Facilities include private apartments designed for comfort during recovery. Visitors arriving by car can use valet parking and electric vehicle charging stations. Patients also receive planned post-operative meals as part of their surgical journey.
