Vaser liposuction in clinic Carlos Zommer

About the clinic

Vaser liposuction is a body contouring procedure available at Clínica Carlos Zommer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The surgery uses ultrasound energy to break down fat cells before they are removed. This method helps patients achieve a more defined shape with less trauma to the surrounding tissues.

Advanced VASER Technology

The clinic uses VASER technology to target stubborn fat in areas like the abdomen, flanks, chest, and back. It also works well for the arms and thighs. This ultrasound energy liquefies fat, making it easier to remove through small incisions. This approach helps the skin retract and often leads to smoother results compared to older methods. The surgery is an outpatient procedure, so patients do not need to stay in the hospital overnight.

Expert Surgical Care

Dr. Carlos Augusto Zommer de Figueiredo leads the surgical team at the clinic. He is a plastic surgeon and a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). Dr. Zommer de Figueiredo completed his specialized training in general surgery at UFRJ. He later focused on plastic surgery at the Hospital Federal dos Servidores do Estado. He creates a specific plan for each patient based on their body goals and skin elasticity.

Recovery and Post-Operative Support

Recovery typically takes between 20 and 30 days for most daily activities. The clinic provides a dedicated physiotherapy team to help patients heal. This team guides patients through mobility exercises and wound care. Post-operative care at the clinic includes:

Compression garments worn for around 45 days to support the new body shape.
Lymphatic drainage sessions to help reduce swelling and improve fluid circulation.
Nutritional guidance that involves avoiding alcohol and processed foods during healing.
Activity restrictions to protect the treated areas during the first few weeks.

Convenience for International Patients

Clínica Carlos Zommer is located right next to the Hotel Promenade Link Stay. This makes it very convenient for patients traveling from other countries to find nearby lodging. The facility holds official medical credentials, including CRM 52.92863-1 and RQE 30308. Before surgery, patients receive clear instructions on stopping certain medications and starting nutritional preparation.

clinic Carlos Zommer: more details about the clinic

Brazil, Rio de Janeiro

Clinic Carlos Zommer is a private plastic surgery practice in the Barra da Tijuca district of Rio de Janeiro. It focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Dr. Carlos Zommer leads the practice as a board-certified plastic surgeon with training in general and plastic surgery.

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.

Wonderful! They made my dream come true! I couldn’t have chosen a better place. From reception with Thaiza, to nurse Caroline, manager Stephanie, and Dr Carlos Zommer. Only gratitude—my best investment!

I’d like to take a moment to say how grateful I am to God for guiding me when I chose you to perform my surgery, and for blessing the formation of such a special team. Today I’m sure I was placed in the right hands. Honestly, there aren’t enough words to express how wonderful everyone was. Every person who cared for me showed compassion, attention, and kindness, and that made all the difference. When I had another surgery before, one of the things that most struck me was exactly the lack of that kind of support. With you, I lived a completely different experience. I received a welcoming, reassuring level of care and clear, detailed guidance. Thank you for clarifying every doubt and for giving me such special peace of mind. For us patients, this is a moment of great vulnerability. We leave home, leave our children behind, go through general anesthesia, and, naturally, we feel fear and insecurity. But you managed to turn all of that into peace and trust. I felt very calm throughout the entire process, and the same happened for my husband and my mother. Knowing that the people we love also feel safe and cared for in such a delicate moment is priceless. This care goes beyond the patient and reaches the entire family, who goes through each step with us. May God continue to bless you greatly, granting you wisdom and guiding your hands in every surgery. May He also bless your entire team, so that you can continue doing this work with the same excellence, competence, humanity, and love with which you welcome and care for every patient. Once again, thank you very much for everything. I’m sure God uses your lives to bring care, hope, and comfort to many people. May He abundantly reward all the good you do and keep pouring infinite blessings over each of you. 🙏🏻💙

Hello, I have been a patient of Dr. Carlos for a long time. I have witnessed his progress, his competence, and his love for what he does. For years, I was his patient and I always felt satisfied with everything. In my last procedure, which I had with Dr. Luciana, she is an exceptional professional who treated me with the same care and professionalism I have always received at the clinic. Dr. Luciana left me very calm and satisfied with the procedure, including the responsiveness of Ariane and Thaisa. Ariane, with her sweetness and charisma, made me feel safe and confident in the new experience I would be having. Clínica Carlos Zommer is the satisfaction and fulfillment I look for in aesthetics and well-being. I recommend it to my friends: respect, commitment, care, and a perfect result!

I would like to record my immense satisfaction and thank Dr. Carlos Zommer and his entire team for the excellent work they carried out. From the very first consultation, I was treated with great attention, respect, ethics, and professionalism. Throughout the entire surgical process, I felt very safe and confident, because the doctor was always available to clarify my questions and to closely monitor my recovery. One of my biggest fears before the surgery was ending up with an abdominoplasty scar that was very extensive and with a belly button that looked artificial. However, Dr. Carlos Zommer managed to exceed my expectations, delivering a scar that is very well positioned and an extremely natural, harmonious belly button—so natural that, in my opinion, it is even more beautiful than what I had before after my two pregnancies. Today, with 50 days of post-operative follow-up, I continue to receive support and monitoring, which shows his commitment and genuine care for his patients. My recovery has been excellent: I didn’t have any post-operative bruising, I didn’t feel pain, and I didn’t develop seroma, lumps, or anything like that. I am very happy with how everything is progressing. The result on my breasts also turned out beautiful, with a very natural look and proportions that match my body. I would also like to highlight the impeccable service provided by the entire team, who were welcoming, attentive, and extremely professional at every stage of the process. I am very grateful for all the care, dedication, and excellence. I recommend Dr. Carlos Zommer and his team with my eyes closed to anyone looking not only for an excellent aesthetic result, but also for human, ethical, and responsible support from start to finish. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I met Dr. Carlos through a friend, right at a time when my surgery had already been scheduled with another professional. But something bothered me a lot, and at the same time, some situations at work made it impossible for me to carry out the procedure on the scheduled date. At that moment, I understood that it wasn’t meant to be rescheduled… it was meant to be cancelled. Today I can clearly see that God was, with all care, redirecting my steps and speaking to my heart to make the appointment with Dr. Carlos. And that’s where I was certain I was in the right place. I was surprised by the professionalism, the attention to listening to me, the care in every detail, and, above all, the confidence and peace I felt in that office. And I need to praise the entire team, because WHAT A TEAM! From the very first contact at reception, the welcoming and planning with Jeniffer, the Commercial Manager of the clinic, the appointments with the nutritionist Mayra Pecly, the physiotherapist Laryssa Viana, the kindness of the anesthesiologist Dr. Ana Clara Xisto… everyone was extremely human, attentive, and careful in every step of the process. My gratitude to each of you for the care before, during, and now in the post-operative period. You’re incredible! And to Dr. Carlos, again: out of the ordinary. Thank you for giving me back much more than self-esteem. You restored something in me that I didn’t even know I had lost. ❤️

I want to express my immense satisfaction for having had my liposuction and abdominoplasty done with Dr. Carlos Zommer. I searched for a long time for several plastic surgeons before making this such important decision. From the very beginning, I was welcomed with great care and seriousness by his entire team. I achieved the result I was looking for, with constant support and guidance, with competence, safety, and—I’m very happy. I want to congratulate the whole team’s work, including reception, administration, physiotherapy, nutrition, the anesthesiologist, nursing, and the surgeons.

It was a wonderful experience from start to finish! From the very first service at the front desk—always very attentive—to the surgical planning with Jeniffer, which was flawless and gave me a lot of confidence. Dr. Carlos Zommer is extremely caring, professional, and instills a great deal of trust. And the post-operative team is simply incredible—always there, dedicated, and welcoming. I felt cared for in every detail. You are a blessed team, completely trustworthy. I only have gratitude for all the kindness and professionalism! 💙✨ I love you, and I’ll be there soon 🥰😘

I want to express my deep gratitude to the entire medical team responsible for my surgery. From the very beginning, I was welcomed with attention, care, and professionalism—and that made all the difference in such an important moment in my life. I would especially like to thank Jennifer (from surgical planning) and the nurse Mileny, whose dedication, patience, and kindness gave me peace of mind and confidence. Their attentive care and always-clear explanations helped me feel safe at every stage of this process. I also want to highlight the care and attention of Dr. Carlos Zomm, who kindly clarified all my questions, listened to me patiently, and reassured me in every moment. Having the opportunity to talk to him directly and to feel his confidence and empathy was essential for me to feel completely prepared and confident for the surgery. When we decide or need to undergo surgery, it’s like fulfilling a dream, even though it comes with challenges and expectations. In my case, it was both a dream and a necessity. And having such a prepared and human team by my side made this experience much lighter. I am immensely grateful for every gesture, every word, and every piece of guidance. I’m sure I chose one of the best—if not the best—plastic surgery teams in Rio de Janeiro. I feel privileged, honored, and completely safe with my choice. Thank you for everything. You made possible a moment that I will carry with me forever.
