Tonsillectomy in clinic Facial

Dr. Marco Aurélio Linhares is a private single-specialty clinic established in 1995. The practice operates two locations in Brazil: a surgical center in Governador Valadares and a service point at Hospital Meridional Vitória. Specialists focus exclusively on the head and neck region. They combine ENT expertise with facial plastic surgery.

Clinical Statistics and Credentials

Dr. Marco Aurélio Linhares has performed more than 6,000 facial surgeries over 30 years. The practice has handled over 52,000 consultations for facial feminization. Specialists hold memberships in several organizations:

• American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS)
• Brazilian Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (ABCPF)
• Brazilian Association of Otorhinolaryngology and Cervico-Facial Surgery (ABORL-CCF)

The clinic founder holds specialist titles in Otolaryngology from the Brazilian Medical Association. This background means aesthetic procedures also prioritize airway function.

Specialized Facial Procedures

The clinic is known for the Deep Plane Facelift technique. This method repositions deep facial tissues rather than tightening the skin surface. The practice has managed over 28,000 patients and 500 surgeries using this approach. Procedures typically last about two hours under local anesthesia with sedation.

Surgeons perform various rhinoplasty techniques to improve nasal harmony and function:

• Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty using PIEZO technology for precise bone refinement
• Structured Rhinoplasty for long-term durability of the nasal tip
• Preservation Rhinoplasty, a method the team has applied for 20 years

These techniques reduce trauma and swelling during recovery. Final results typically consolidate within two to three months.

The clinic provides specialized planning for Facial Feminization Surgery. This includes frontoplasty to harmonize the hairline and forehead. Voice transformations are available through glottoplasty and thyroplasty. These procedures refine the voice and reduce the appearance of the Adam's apple.

Technology and Safety Protocols

The practice uses PIEZO surgical ultrasound for nasal bone refinement. This device offers high accuracy without damaging surrounding soft tissues. Surgeons also use endoscopic systems for brow and face lifting. Endoscopic lifting leaves no visible scars while giving clear visualization of the surgical site.

Safety protocols emphasize transparency and individualized planning. The surgical center can perform major transformations without general anesthesia. This often allows patients to return home the same day.

Services for International Patients

Dr. Marco Aurélio Linhares supports patients traveling from other states and countries. The medical team offers telemedicine evaluations to discuss surgical goals before travel. Pre-operative guidance includes a list of required exams and care instructions. The clinic monitors patients closely after surgery until healing is complete.
