Endoscopic facelift in clinic Armando Chiari (CAC)
About the clinic
Endoscopic Facelift at Clinic Armando Chiari (CAC) in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, provides facial rejuvenation focused on harmony and natural results. The procedure is performed by a surgeon with over 35 years of experience, using advanced techniques to minimize visible scarring. The clinic holds international accreditations from TEMOS and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).
Expert Surgical Care
Prof. Dr. Armando Chiari Jr. leads the surgical team with over 35 years of experience in aesthetic plastic surgery. He holds a PhD in Surgery and serves as the Head of the Plastic Surgery Service at the UFMG Hospital. Prof. Dr. Chiari Jr. is known for creating specialized techniques in facial rejuvenation and blepharoplasty. As a member of ISAPS and the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica, he follows strict safety standards. His approach focuses on achieving facial balance rather than an over-tightened appearance.
Procedure and Safety Protocols
The surgery is performed under either local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient's specific needs. Prof. Dr. Chiari Jr. places incisions within the scalp and around the ears. This placement helps hide scars as they heal. The clinic enforces strict safety protocols to help the recovery process. Patients must stop smoking at least 6 months before the surgery. They should also avoid aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications for about one week before the procedure. On the night before surgery, patients use an antiseptic shampoo to prepare the skin and hair.
Recovery and Results
The initial recovery phase involves specific care to reduce swelling and bruising. Patients apply cold compresses to the eyes every hour for the first two days. Bandages must remain dry for at least 24 hours after the operation. Most visible bruising fades within 10 days, though final results emerge over several months. Scars typically mature within 3 months. The clinic partners with Premier Hospital Dia and Hospital Felício Rocho to provide a professional environment for all surgical cases.
For those traveling from abroad, the clinic offers video consultations to discuss goals and medical history. You can leave a request on Bookimed to receive more information about planning your treatment in Brazil.

clinic Armando Chiari (CAC): more details about the clinic
Clínica Armando Chiari (CAC) is a private plastic surgery facility in the Gutierrez neighborhood of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Dr. Armando Chiari Jr. leads the practice, focusing on aesthetic plastic surgery and non-surgical facial rejuvenation. The clinic operates from a single location. It coordinates complex surgical care through partnerships with local hospitals. Surgeries take place at Premier Hospital Dia, which has ICU support, and at Hospital Felício Rocho.
Accreditations and Academic Leadership
The clinic holds several recognized certifications. These include accreditations from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica (SBCP). The practice also carries TEMOS certification, which sets quality standards for international patient care. Dr. Armando Chiari Jr. holds a Doctorate in Surgery and teaches at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG).
Specialized Surgical Techniques
The clinic offers aesthetic procedures for the face, breasts, and body. Dr. Armando Chiari Jr. developed specific surgical methods used here, including Blefaroplastia Ampliada (extended eyelid surgery). This technique rejuvenates the eyes and may include transpalpebral brow elevation. The surgical team covers several areas:
- Breast Surgery: Augmentation with silicone implants, breast reduction, and reconstruction.
- Body Contouring: 360 liposuction, abdominoplasty, and gluteoplasty using silicone implants.
- Facial Aesthetics: Facelifts, otoplasty for ear correction, and various types of rhinoplasty.
- Eyelid Rejuvenation: Lifting transpalpebral and both standard and extended blepharoplasty.
Specialists also treat gynaecomastia (enlarged male breast tissue). Surgeons use the L de Chiari approach to correct asymmetry and breast hypertrophy.
Breast Aesthetics and Author Techniques
A key differentiator is the Mamoplastia em L de Chiari technique. This method manages scarring and shape during breast lifts and reductions. Dr. Chiari has published research on this approach in the International Video Journal of Plastic & Aesthetic Surgery. Patients seeking a breast lift can choose between two options:
- Mastopexy with implants: Combines a lift with silicone prostheses to add volume.
- Mastopexy without implants: Uses the patient's own tissue to reposition volume.
The clinic provides structured pre-operative instructions to reduce surgical risks. Patients must avoid medications with acetylsalicylic acid for seven days before breast or abdominal procedures.
Non-Surgical Rejuvenation and Technology
For patients who prefer non-invasive options, the clinic offers several aesthetic medicine treatments. These address skin quality and facial harmonization without general anesthesia. The clinic uses microfocused and macrofocused ultrasound for skin tightening. Available treatments include:
- Botulinum toxin type A for wrinkle prevention
- Facial fillers and biostimulators
- Radiofrequency and microneedling
- Chemical peels using glycolic or retinoic acid
- Carboxitherapy – the therapeutic use of carbon dioxide gas
Specific medications and comfort products are provided for all non-surgical patients. Local anesthesia keeps these procedures painless.
International Patient Support
A dedicated foreign-patient department assists international visitors. This team coordinates surgical planning and hospital reservations before arrival. Online consultations via video call are available for initial assessments and follow-up care. The medical team provides structured post-operative guidance and schedules return visits for dressing changes. Compression garments and surgical bras are provided to support recovery.
