Love handles liposuction at Clínica Bem-te-vi in Rio de Janeiro removes stubborn fat from the flanks to create a slimmer waistline. This procedure is performed by Dr. Juliana Santos using the fine cannula tumescent technique for precise body sculpting. The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation, which shows its commitment to international healthcare standards and patient safety.
Dr. Juliana Santos uses a tumescent method with very thin tubes called cannulas. This approach helps remove localized fat from the love handles with less trauma to the surrounding tissues. The surgery typically lasts between 90 minutes and three hours depending on the amount of fat. Doctors use either general or epidural anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable throughout the process. While the focus is often on the flanks, this method also works for the abdomen, back, and thighs.
Dr. Juliana Santos is a plastic surgeon and a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). She completed her specialized residency at the Hospital Federal da Lagoa. With 2,000+ procedures performed, she has extensive experience in body contouring. Dr. Santos performs every surgery in an accredited hospital alongside a full anesthesia team to help manage patient safety.
Patients usually stay in the hospital for 12 to 24 hours after the surgery. The recovery process involves specific steps to help the skin retract and the swelling go down.
Before the procedure, patients must have a stable weight and fast for eight hours. It is important to stop smoking at least 30 days before surgery. You should also avoid anti-inflammatory medications for 15 days before your appointment. These steps help reduce risks and support a smooth healing process.

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.
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.
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 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.
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:
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 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.
