Breast Augmentation with Saline Implants in clinic Bem-te-vi — plastic surgeon at Barra da Tijuca
About the clinic
Breast augmentation with implants at Clínica Bem-te-vi in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, helps patients achieve their desired breast shape and volume. The procedure is performed by a specialized surgical team in the Barra da Tijuca district. This TEMOS-accredited facility follows international safety standards to provide high-quality aesthetic care.
Expertise of Dra. Juliana Santos
Dr. Juliana Santos leads the plastic surgery department with a track record of 2,000+ successful operations. She is an active member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). Dr. Santos completed her residency at the Hospital Federal da Lagoa. She uses 3D simulation technology during the planning phase. This tool helps patients visualize their expected results before the first incision is made.
Procedure Details and Methods
The surgery typically lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours under general anesthesia. Surgeons place the implants through the areola, the submammary fold, or the axillary area. The choice of access point depends on the patient's anatomy and goals. Patients usually stay in the hospital for 12 to 24 hours for monitoring before being discharged.
Pre-Operative Requirements
Before the surgery, patients must complete several safety steps. These include:
- Standard blood work and laboratory tests.
- A mammography or ultrasound if the doctor indicates it.
- Stopping all smoking for at least 30 days before the date.
- Fasting for 8 hours prior to the operation.
- Avoiding any anticoagulant medications that may increase bleeding.
Recovery and Aftercare
The recovery process follows a specific timeline to help the body heal properly. Most patients return to light daily activities within 7 to 14 days. However, driving and heavy arm effort must be avoided for at least 15 days. A specialized surgical bra is required for 30 to 60 days to support the new breast shape. Full exercise routines can usually resume after 45 to 60 days. The clinic provides regular follow-up consultations to monitor the healing progress.

clinic Bem-te-vi — plastic surgeon at Barra da Tijuca: more details about the clinic
Clinic Bem-te-vi is a single-doctor plastic surgery practice in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Located in the Barra da Tijuca neighborhood, it operates from a dedicated facility in the Shopping Downtown complex. The clinic offers aesthetic treatments that combine hospital-based surgeries with non-surgical regenerative protocols.
Accreditations and Professional Qualifications
The clinic holds accreditation from TEMOS. Dr. Juliana Santos, the founder, is a Membro Titular of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP).
With over 12 years of medical training, Dr. Santos oversees every stage of patient care. This includes consultations, surgical planning, and long-term postoperative monitoring. All surgical procedures are performed in accredited hospitals in Rio de Janeiro with complete anesthesia teams.
Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Procedures
The clinic provides surgical options for facial and body rejuvenation. For patients with moderate sagging, mini-lifting offers a shorter-recovery alternative to a full facelift. Breast surgeries are tailored to individual needs and include:
- Breast augmentation with silicone implants
- Breast reduction
- Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without implants
- Explant of breast implants
Breast lift procedures typically take 1.5 to 3 hours. Most patients leave the hospital within 12 to 24 hours after surgery. Full recovery generally requires wearing a surgical bra for up to 60 days.
For male patients, the clinic treats gynecomastia (enlarged male breast tissue). Dr. Santos uses lipoaspiration, glandular resection, or both based on severity. Results are often visible immediately, with final outcomes appearing after 3 to 6 months.
Regenerative Medicine and Non-Surgical Protocols
Beyond traditional surgery, the clinic uses regenerative medicine to improve skin quality and body contours. These treatments focus on tissue repair and collagen production. The clinic offers several signature protocols:
- STROMMA: A regenerative protocol that stimulates collagen and elastin for tissue repair.
- Soft Define: A submental (under chin) fat treatment using mechan-acoustic waves.
- Body Harmony: A non-surgical approach to localized fat and skin firmness.
- Fresh Face: An integrated strategy to add definition and lightness to facial contours.
Traditional non-surgical options include botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid fillers, and PDO thread lifting. These methods address mild flaccidity without incisions. Results for treatments like collagen bio-stimulators develop gradually over several months.
International Patient Services and Support
International patients receive support through Portuguese-speaking communication. The clinic provides a care pathway that begins before the patient arrives in Brazil. This includes detailed pre-operative guidance and coordination of necessary medical exams.
Pre-surgical requirements for major procedures include a 30-day smoking cessation period and an 8-hour fast. Patients must also undergo laboratory tests, cardiology evaluations, and facial tomography if indicated. Medical follow-up continues long after the procedure to ensure safe recovery and stable results.
