Tummy Tuck and Liposuction in clinic Carlos Zommer
About the clinic
A tummy tuck combined with liposuction at Clínica Carlos Zommer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, provides a complete solution for body contouring. The procedure is performed by Dr. Carlos Augusto Zommer de Figueiredo, a specialist certified by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. This surgical approach helps patients remove excess skin while sculpting the midsection for a more defined appearance.
Advanced Contouring Techniques
Over 95% of patients at the clinic choose to combine a tummy tuck with liposuction. This combination addresses both loose skin and stubborn fat in one operation. Dr. Carlos Zommer performs several types of abdominoplasty to meet different needs:
- Classic Tummy Tuck for excess skin and muscle separation (diastasis)
- Anchor Tummy Tuck for significant skin removal after bariatric surgery
- Mini-tummy tuck for mild skin laxity located below the navel
To enhance body sculpting, the clinic uses VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction and Vibrolipo. These methods help remove fat with more precision. Patients looking for an athletic look can choose Lipo HD to define muscle contours. The clinic also uses FRAXX fractionated radiofrequency to improve skin quality and the final look of the scar.
Specialized Recovery and Care
Recovery is a managed process at Clínica Carlos Zommer. A dedicated physiotherapy team works with each patient to monitor healing. The recovery protocol includes a specific diet, movement restrictions, and the use of compression garments. Recovery for liposuction usually takes 20 to 30 days. For Lipo HD, patients must rest for 3 days before starting lymphatic drainage sessions.

Professional Accreditations and Expertise
Dr. Carlos Zommer is registered with the medical council and holds specific certifications for plastic surgery.
- CRM 52.92863-1 medical registration
- RQE 30308 specialist certificate in plastic surgery
The practice treats patients from across Brazil and abroad, including referrals from Colombia. Care pathways support individuals traveling for surgery.
Surgical Specialties and Technical Approaches
The clinic performs several facial and body contouring procedures. Each treatment plan respects the patient's anatomy and recovery needs.
Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) uses a specific "Invisible Line" suturing technique. This method helps achieve a more discreet eyelid scar.
Breast augmentation with silicone implants follows the Fast Recovery protocol. This supports more comfortable healing and a faster return to daily life.
The surgical portfolio also includes several other major procedures:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to correct separated abdominal muscles and remove excess skin
- Mastopexy (breast lift) performed with or without implants based on natural tissue volume
- Lipo HD (high-definition liposuction) for sculpting muscle contours and "six-pack" definition
- Gynecomastia surgery to reduce breast tissue in male patients
The team also performs rhinoplasty, otoplasty (ear surgery), and facelifts. Non-surgical options include botulinum toxin and biostimulators to improve skin firmness.
Advanced Technologies and Protocols
The practice uses modern equipment to enhance surgical results and skin quality. One key technology is FRAXX, a fractionated radiofrequency system.
This device treats skin laxity and improves the appearance of scars. Specialists also use VASER liposuction, which targets fat tissue with ultrasound energy.
Safety is managed through personalized pre-operative guidance. Patients receive specific instructions on medication suspension and nutritional preparation before surgery.
International Patient Support and Recovery
The clinic provides structured post-operative care. A specialized physiotherapy team supports patients throughout their recovery.
Follow-up care includes phase-by-phase at-home guidance. Patients receive specific protocols for every stage of healing:
- Dietary plans that restrict alcohol and ultra-processed foods
- Movement and effort restrictions tailored to each recovery week
- Guidance on compression garments according to the healing phase
- Long-term scar monitoring that continues for several months after discharge
The care team stays in constant contact with each patient. This keeps recovery on track and aligned with safety protocols.
