About the clinic
Facelift surgery at Clinic André Mattos in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, provides long-lasting facial rejuvenation through advanced surgical techniques. Led by Dr. André Mattos, a plastic surgeon trained under the legendary Prof. Ivo Pitanguy, the clinic offers natural-looking results that can make patients appear up to 10 years younger. The facility holds accreditation from both the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and TEMOS, confirming its commitment to international safety standards.
Deep Plane Facelift Technique
Dr. André Mattos focuses on the Deep Plane facelift method to avoid the "pulled" look of older surgeries. This approach repositions the deep facial layers, known as the SMAS, rather than just tightening the skin. By lifting the underlying structures, the surgeon achieves a refreshed appearance without excessive tension. Dr. Mattos uses vector-of-traction analysis to plan each surgery, which helps preserve the unique facial identity of every patient.
- Procedure duration: The surgery typically lasts between 2 and 4 hours.
- Anesthesia: Patients receive either general anesthesia or intravenous sedation.
- Incision placement: Dr. Mattos places incisions along the hairline and around the ears to keep scars less visible.
- Combined options: The procedure can include blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), neck lifts, or fat grafting for better volume.
Expertise of Dr. André Mattos
Dr. André Mattos brings over 30 years of experience in facial plastic surgery to his practice. He is a full member of the SBCP and has served as a medical director in Dubai. His training under Prof. Ivo Pitanguy, a pioneer in the field, informs his refined surgical approach. Beyond his clinical work, Dr. Mattos holds an MBA in Health Administration from Fundação Getulio Vargas, showing a dedicated approach to clinic management and patient care.
Recovery and Results
The recovery process is designed to help patients return to their daily lives quickly. Most people go back to normal activities within 2 weeks after the surgery. While initial swelling and bruising occur, these symptoms usually subside within a few days. The clinic provides follow-up visits and offers physiotherapy to help the healing process. Patients use cold compresses and prescribed medications at home to manage comfort during the first week. While scars from the incisions are permanent, they are placed strategically to fade and blend over time.

clinic André Mattos: more details about the clinic
Brazil, Rio de Janeiro
Clinic André Mattos is a private medical facility in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It operates in the Niterói and Leblon districts, serving local and international patients. The clinic prioritizes safety and individual medical criteria over aesthetic trends. Each treatment plan starts with a clinical evaluation and structured pre-operative preparation.
Accreditations and Medical Leadership
Dr. André Mattos, the clinic's lead plastic surgeon, completed his residency under Professor Pitanguy. He also serves as a Medical Director in Dubai. The facility holds several professional recognitions:
- Full membership in the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP)
- TEMOS international certification for quality in medical care
- Accreditation by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery
Four specialists coordinate patient care from initial consultation through recovery.
Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring
The clinic offers surgical interventions for facial rejuvenation and body shaping. Surgeons focus on restoring natural proportions while addressing specific anatomical concerns. Surgical options include:
- Facelift (ritidoplasty) to treat sagging skin and deep wrinkles
- Blepharoplasty for correcting eyelid drooping or puffiness
- Abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and repair abdominal muscles
- Liposuction using water-jet and tumescent techniques for localized fat removal
- Mastopexy and breast augmentation with silicone implants
- Gluteoplasty involving buttock implants or fat transfer
- Labiaplasty and vaginoplasty for intimate surgical needs
For male patients, the clinic treats gynecomastia through surgical tissue removal. The procedure typically lasts 1 to 1.5 hours and requires 12 to 24 hours of hospitalization. Surgeons often combine tissue excision with liposuction for a flatter chest contour.
Surgical Technologies and Safety Protocols
The clinic uses digital tools to refine surgical accuracy and document procedures. During operations, the team wears Meta smart glasses to record techniques and support real-time teaching. For skin treatments, specialists use the Dermapen 4 system – a micro-needling device with adjustable depth and speed for different skin types.
Specialist physiotherapist Dr. Camila Oliveira evaluates all patients before surgery. She creates personalized postoperative plans to reduce swelling and speed healing. The clinic also uses digital body dermatoscopy for early skin cancer screening.
International Patient Support and Recovery
Patients visiting from abroad receive structured follow-up through mobile technology. This system lets international patients stay in contact with their surgical team after returning home. The follow-up process includes:
- Direct access to personalized surgical plans via phone
- Regular review of postoperative photos by the medical team
- Recording of a recovery video for every patient to track progress
- Direct communication with nursing staff for pain management
Nursing staff closely monitor vital signs, dressings, and surgical drains during immediate recovery. This helps patients from different regions receive consistent care throughout healing.

I had plastic surgery with doctor Andre in 2014 and I LOVED the result. His whole team is wonderful—you already feel really well taken care of from the very first contact at the front desk, and the post-surgery follow-up maintains the same quality. Doctor Andre and his team are always concerned about whether you’re having a good recovery and they closely monitor you for months. In 2024, I decided to do another one, and the experience was just as wonderful as the first time. I hope doctor Andre lives 100 years because I still plan to come back a few times, haha! My thanks extend not only to him but also to the front desk girls, especially Camila, the wonderful nurse who accompanied me in the hospital, the anesthesiologist, and the entire team. I was super nervous before the anesthesia, and the anesthesiologist started talking to me and calming me down—when I realized it, I was already awake, operated on, and happy, haha! 🩵

I had two plastic surgeries with Dr André Mattos. An incredible experience from start to finish, beginning with the team.
After I opened my eyes following the surgery, there he was—staying with me, checking on everything. Impeccable work; no pain, no sequelae, and quickly getting back to normal. A first-class professional!!!! My friends also followed my steps. Come with the certainty that you’ll be taken care of by the best!!! The before and after… it looked like Photoshop… I was very happy.

In the meantime, I’m back home and I’d like to use this opportunity to thank Dr. Andre Mattos and his entire operations and practice team once again, most sincerely, for the friendly, attentive care as well as the excellent professional advice and treatment before, during, and after my operation.
Dr. Andre not only has a fine sense for what is sensibly possible, but also the extraordinary ability to bring our shared ideas to life through his outstanding, individualized, and specialized surgical skills.
Before the operation, Dr. Rafael Mattos calmed me with his calm manner and detailed explanations, and he guided me out of anesthesia as gently as no doctor before him.
Anna is an exceptional, compassionate woman who gives courage, dispels doubts, and has an always pleasant way about her. Her wound treatment is essential to the success of the healing process.
Camila creates a particularly comforting atmosphere for the necessary massage sessions every time, and her knowledgeable hands are a true relief—they make everything feel easier and help you forget the pain.
Renata and Flavia are the two people you can turn to for everything related to organization. With a great deal of love and attention, they take care of you, and for questions concerning the operation, they always have an open ear.
From the very beginning, the whole team radiates a calming harmony and warmth, combined with a high level of professionalism—something I have never experienced in a practice before. Thank you again, from my heart, to the entire team for everything.

Dr. André is much more than a surgeon—he is a plastic artist. He knows how to preserve the safety of his patients while making dreams come true thanks to his technical skill and his seriousness. He and his entire team do impeccable work: they are super professional, yet still remain welcoming, giving us peace of mind before, during, and after the surgery. I only have to thank you. He is definitely my doctor for future procedures and for many recommendations to my friends. Simply the best!

Dr André Mattos, besides being one of the best surgeons in Brazil, is also a great friend we will take with us for life. He’s definitely the best plastic surgeon— I only undergo surgery with him. I recommend him and fully stand by that.
Ethical, professional, detail-oriented, always focused on the patient’s aesthetics and well-being. Super attentive. I always look for him to clear up my doubts, and he is always available with all the care and attention. I’m already missing you. Thank you for everything.
