Gynecomastia Vaser Liposuction in clinic Bem-te-vi — plastic surgeon at Barra da Tijuca
About the clinic
Gynecomastia Vaser Liposuction at Clínica Bem-te-vi in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, helps men achieve a flatter, more masculine chest contour. This procedure uses a combination of lipoaspiration and glandular tissue removal. Dr. Juliana Santos performed 2,000+ surgeries and leads the treatment using international TEMOS quality standards.
The Surgical Method
The surgery addresses excess breast tissue through a technique called tumescent lipoaspiration. When needed, the surgeon also performs glandular resection. This dual approach helps create a natural chest appearance. Dr. Juliana Santos, a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), carries out the procedure in a hospital setting for patient safety.
- Total Duration: The surgery typically lasts between 1 and 2 hours.
- Anesthesia: Patients receive general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
- Incision Style: The doctor makes small incisions at the border of the areola. This helps make scars nearly invisible after the healing process.
- Hospital Stay: Most patients go home the same day or within 24 hours.
Preparation and Recovery Steps
Success starts before the operation. Patients must complete lab tests and might need a hormone evaluation. It is vital to stop smoking at least 30 days before surgery and avoid anti-inflammatory drugs. An 8-hour fast is necessary on the day of the procedure.
Recovery involves specific steps to help the skin heal smoothly. Patients wear a compression vest 24 hours a day for 30 days. Lymphatic drainage sessions are part of the post-operative plan. Most people return to light activities in 5 to 7 days. However, you should avoid heavy chest exercises and physical strain for at least 30 days.
Specialist Expertise
Dr. Juliana Santos is a plastic surgery specialist who completed her residency at the Hospital Federal da Lagoa. With experience in 2,000+ procedures, she focuses on achieving a natural look with minimal scarring. Her affiliation with the SBCP confirms her adherence to strict surgical protocols in Brazil.

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.
