About the clinic

Liposuction for gynecomastia at clinic Bem-te-vi in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, corrects enlarged male breast tissue to create a flatter chest contour. The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation, which confirms it meets international safety standards for patient care. Treatment typically combines fat removal with tissue resection to achieve a natural appearance.

The Procedure and Technique

The surgery at clinic Bem-te-vi usually takes between 1 and 2 hours. The surgical team uses liposuction to remove excess fat and glandular resection for firm breast tissue. This dual approach helps reshape the chest effectively. The surgeon places a small incision on the lower edge of the areola. This location makes the resulting scar very hard to see once it heals. Depending on the patient's needs, the team uses general anesthesia or local sedation.

Preparation and Hospitalization

Safety starts before the surgery begins. Patients must provide lab results and a hormonal profile if requested. You need to stop smoking at least 30 days before the operation. Avoid taking aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs for 15 days. You must also fast for 8 hours before the procedure starts. Most patients leave the clinic on the same day, though some stay for up to 24 hours.

Recovery and Aftercare

The recovery process requires specific steps to help the body heal. You will wear a compression vest for 30 days to support the new chest shape. Lymphatic drainage sessions start on the third day after surgery. Most people return to light activities within 5 to 7 days. You should avoid heavy chest exercises for at least 30 days.

  • Immediate Results: Changes to the chest contour are visible right after surgery.
  • Final Outcome: The chest reaches its definitive shape after 3 to 6 months of healing.
  • Follow-up: The clinic provides post-operative appointments at no extra cost.

If you are looking for a flatter chest contour, you can request a consultation at clinic Bem-te-vi through Bookimed.

clinic Bem-te-vi — plastic surgeon at Barra da Tijuca: more details about the clinic

Brazil, Rio de Janeiro

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.

The clinic is beautiful, super comfortable, and cozy. The service is punctual and fully tailored to each person. I did the STROMA protocol with Dr. Juliana, an excellent doctor who achieves results naturally, without excesses—extremely polite and helpful, and you can clearly see she genuinely loves what she does. I’m in love with my results; I highly recommend it!
