Liposuction in clinic Bem-te-vi — plastic surgeon at Barra da Tijuca
About the clinic
Liposuction at Clínica Bem-te-vi in Rio de Janeiro helps remove localized fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs. The clinic holds international TEMOS accreditation and has performed over 2,000 successful procedures. This surgery uses advanced techniques to help patients achieve a more contoured body shape.
Liposuction Methods and Areas
The clinic uses the tumescent liposuction technique with fine cannulas. This method involves injecting a special solution into the fat layer before removal. Using smaller tubes makes fat extraction more precise. This approach also helps make the recovery process smoother for the patient. Doctors can treat several areas including:
- Abdomen and flanks
- Back and arms
- Thighs and saddlebags
- Double chin and submental region
Patient Safety and Surgery Details
Safety is a priority at Clínica Bem-te-vi, which maintains a 5.0 rating from patient reviews. Surgery takes place in an accredited hospital with a full anesthesia team present. The procedure typically lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. Patients receive either general or epidural anesthesia depending on their specific case. You will usually stay in the hospital for 12 to 24 hours for monitoring.
Preparation and Recovery Steps
Successful results require careful preparation and follow-up care. Patients must have a stable weight before the procedure. You will need to complete lab tests, a cardiac evaluation, and an 8-hour fast before surgery. Doctors ask patients to stop smoking 30 days before the operation. You should also avoid aspirin and similar medications for 15 days before the date.
The recovery plan is structured to help the body heal properly:
- Wear a compression garment for 30 to 60 days.
- Start lymphatic drainage massages from the third day.
- Wait 30 to 45 days before starting light exercise.

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.
