Reconstructive surgery in clinic Goldman

Goldman Plastic Surgery Clinic is a private medical facility in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The center focuses on laser-based plastic surgery and aesthetic care. It treats both visible aesthetic concerns and functional medical issues.

Accreditations and Leadership

The clinic holds accreditation from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). This signals adherence to global standards in patient safety and surgical quality.

Dr. Alberto Goldman leads the medical team. He is a plastic surgeon with extensive experience in Brazil and internationally. Dr. Goldman is the former president of the Brazilian Laser Society and serves as editor of the Brazilian Laser Journal. He has published research on laser lipolysis and microcannular tumescent liposuction.

The clinic employs 10 doctors who specialize in laser-based and traditional aesthetic procedures.

Laser-Based Specialties and Procedures

The clinic specializes in laser lipolysis for body contouring and localized fat removal. Surgeons deliver laser energy through a micro-cannula containing a fiber optic. This energy breaks fat-cell membranes and coagulates small blood vessels, so bleeding is minimal. Small entry points reduce scarring.

For facial rejuvenation, the clinic provides several specialized laser treatments:

• Laser Fracionado – uses a scanner to define the treatment area and create microscopic openings that stimulate collagen in deep skin layers.
• Laser Blepharoplasty – uses different laser types for precise eyelid incisions, wrinkle reduction, and treating under-eye pigment.
• Q-Switched Laser – emits high energy in short pulses to fragment permanent makeup pigments for natural elimination.
• PMMA Removal – applies laser energy within the lesion to address complications from permanent synthetic fillers.

Vascular concerns are treated through a dedicated program for microvarices and hemangiomas. Specialists use vascular lasers that target hemoglobin to coagulate small vessels. Some treatments are performed without needles, using equipment that applies cold to the skin.

Breast and Body Surgery

The clinic offers breast augmentation with silicone implants. Surgeons can place implants through incisions in the breast fold, around the areola, or in the armpit. For patients with significant sagging, implants are often combined with a breast lift.

Breast reduction involves removing excess tissue and skin while repositioning the nipple. The clinic often uses laser liposuction during these surgeries. This removes fat near the armpits and outer breast area, creating a more contoured result.

Specialists also treat gynecomastia – enlarged male breasts – using liposuction techniques. Other body procedures include brachioplasty (arm lift) to remove excess skin and fat. Traditional liposuction is available as a less invasive option for arm laxity.

Surgical Protocols and Technology

Surgical procedures are performed in a hospital setting for maximum patient safety. The clinic uses local anesthesia with a professional anesthetist present. Before any breast surgery, patients undergo a thorough diagnostic check:

• Clinical examinations
• Laboratory blood tests
• Breast ultrasound
• Mammography

The clinic uses Q-Switched lasers and specialized scanners for skin resurfacing. These tools target specific tissue while sparing surrounding areas. Because the clinic uses minimally invasive techniques, many patients recover without major discomfort.

Services for International Patients

The clinic treats international patients seeking advanced laser-based body contouring and skin care. Medical information is available in English, Spanish, and Italian. All procedures follow a workflow designed for precision and safety.
