The clinic of Dr. Denis Valente is a single-doctor plastic surgery practice in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Located in the Jardim Europa neighborhood, the clinic specializes in body contouring and minimally invasive aesthetic procedures. Dr. Denis Valente, a Ph.D. medical doctor with over 20 years of experience, leads all surgical planning and treatments.
Expertise and Recognition
Dr. Valente is a Professor of Plastic Surgery at the Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre. He belongs to the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
The clinic is known for the Lipo One STEP HD protocol. Dr. Valente regularly shares surgical advances and protocol results with the international medical community. The practice attracts patients from across Brazil and abroad, including those traveling from Lima, Peru.
Body Contouring and Liposuction
Liposuction here is a sculpting procedure, not a weight-loss tool. The clinic uses technology-assisted methods to target fat tissue selectively. This preserves blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic structures – so patients experience less trauma and bruising.
Specialized contouring options include:
- High-definition liposuction (Lipo HD/LAD) for muscular definition
- Liposculpture for the abdomen, flanks, arms, and chin
- 360-degree liposuction for total trunk refinement
- Fat grafting (lipofilling) to restore volume using the patient's own tissue
- Specific contouring for male patients
Results develop gradually as swelling subsides. Patients typically see their final appearance 6 to 12 months after surgery.
Breast and Abdominal Surgery
The clinic performs lipoabdominoplasty, combining fat removal with skin tightening. This addresses localized fat, excess skin, and muscle separation (diastasis) in one operation. The surgeon re-approximates abdominal muscles to restore core support.
For breast aesthetics, the clinic offers:
- Breast augmentation with silicone implants
- Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without implants
- Breast reconstruction surgery
Dr. Valente also performs combined surgeries – for example, breast and abdominal procedures together. To maintain safety, total operating time stays below 5 hours. Research cited by the clinic shows complication rates for combined cases match those of isolated surgeries when patients are carefully selected.
Advanced Technologies
The practice uses several energy-based platforms to improve skin retraction and contour precision. These technologies work alongside liposuction to treat skin laxity without large incisions.
Available technologies include:
- Argoplasma for skin tightening through plasma energy
- Bodytite for radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis
- Renuvion for tissue contraction
- Laser-assisted systems for precise fat removal
These tools allow more precise sculpting in areas with resistant fat or mild skin looseness.
Services for International Patients
The clinic supports a global patient base with a team fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. International and out-of-state patients receive coordinated guidance for pre-operative preparation and post-operative recovery. This includes education on recovery timelines and safe decision-making during healing.
Follow-up care is central to the treatment plan. Dr. Valente provides direct communication channels so patients can address concerns before and after surgery. This ongoing monitoring helps results progress safely over the first year of recovery.
