Gynecomastia Treatment in clinic Graf Guimarães
About the clinic
Gynecomastia correction at Clinic Graf Guimarães in Curitiba, Brazil, offers a permanent solution for reducing male breast tissue. The clinic is known for its specialized plastic surgery facility, Hospital Geode, which holds ONA Nível 1 and TEMOS accreditations. Treatment is led by Dr. Carlos Alberto Preto Guimarães, a plastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience who trained at New York University.
Surgical options for gynecomastia
The clinic provides personalized surgical plans based on the grade of gynecomastia. Dr. Carlos Alberto Preto Guimarães uses different techniques to achieve a flatter, firmer, and better-contoured chest. The surgery typically lasts between one and three hours depending on the complexity of the case.
- Liposuction. This method removes excess fatty tissue through small incisions using a vacuum device.
- Excision. The surgeon removes glandular breast tissue or excess skin when liposuction alone is not enough.
- Combined technique. Most patients receive a combination of liposuction and excision for the best contour results.
Patient safety and clinic features
Surgery takes place at Hospital Geode, the clinic's own specialized surgical center. The facility was fully modernized in 2022 and follows audited sterilization protocols by BORINI and 3M. The hospital uses equipment certified by ANVISA to help maintain high safety standards. Patients stay in a comfortable environment designed specifically for plastic surgery recovery.
Anesthesia and recovery
The medical team chooses the anesthesia based on the extent of the procedure. Many cases use local anesthesia with intravenous sedation. Extensive surgeries may require general or peridural anesthesia. Following the procedure, the clinic provides a recovery protocol to help the healing process:
- Compression garments. Patients wear a medical band to reduce swelling and support the new chest contour.
- Medication. The doctor prescribes specific medicine to manage discomfort and prevent infection.
- Healing timeline. Initial swelling and bruising subside over several weeks, revealing the final results gradually.
- Follow-up care. The surgical team monitors the patient to manage risks like seroma or sensation changes.
Dr. Carlos Alberto Preto Guimarães is an active member of the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica (SBCP). His international training helps him address various chest irregularities and asymmetry. Those interested in male breast reduction may request a consultation through Bookimed to receive a personalized evaluation.

clinic Graf Guimarães: more details about the clinic
Clinic Graf Guimarães is a private multi-specialty facility in Curitiba, Brazil. Established in 2005, it operates five departments from its Curitiba location. The clinic combines dermatology, plastic surgery, vascular surgery, hair transplantation, and advanced laser treatments. A full modernization in 2022 updated all treatment protocols.
Safety Standards and Accreditations
The clinic performs surgical procedures at Hospital Geode, which holds ONA Nível 1 certification. This accreditation focuses on the safety of care processes. The medical team maintains high safety standards through audited sterilization. Quality seals from BORINI and 3M verify these standards.
Patient safety relies on specialized emergency readiness protocols:
- Preparation for malignant hyperthermia using a DANTROLENE kit
- Internal cardiopulmonary resuscitation training for all staff
- Equipment maintenance protocols certified by ANVISA
- Hybrid surgical environments with absolute particle filters
The clinic also holds recognition from ISAPS, SBCP, and TEMOS.
Hair Restoration and Transplantation
The hair restoration department has completed over 4,000 transplant cases. Dr. Christine Graf Guimarães leads the practice, performing 150–170 transplants annually. The team uses the FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) method. This technique harvests individual follicular units for transfer to balding areas.
Specialists apply these methods to several restoration needs:
- Androgenetic alopecia treatment for men and women
- Eyebrow transplantation using stereoscopic microscopes for natural angulation
- Beard transplantation using hair from beard-adjacent or cervical regions
- Facial hair restoration following trauma or excess removal
Patients receive structured post-operative care at the clinic. The team performs the first hair wash on-site and provides scalp shampoos for the first month of recovery.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Dr. Carlos Alberto Preto Guimarães heads the plastic surgery department. The facility offers both aesthetic and functional procedures. The team performs Facelift (Ritidoplastia) using small incisions to remodel underlying tissue. They also treat Gynecomastia through surgical correction.
Nasal surgeries address both form and breathing:
- Rhinoplasty for aesthetic-functional nose correction
- Septoplasty to correct a deviated septum and improve breathing
- Alarplasty and tip rhinoplasty for specific nasal reshaping
Surgeons also perform otoplasty for prominent ears. During early recovery, children wear protective caps to prevent local trauma.
Dermatology and Vascular Care
The dermatology unit uses specialized laser platforms. PicoWay technology handles tattoo removal and skin rejuvenation. Its ultra-short pulses speed up recovery. For laser hair removal, the clinic uses Laser Motus AY. This device combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG technologies for different skin types.
Vascular treatments target varicose veins through multiple methods:
- Foam sclerotherapy for office-based vein closure
- Transdermal laser for superficial small vessels
- Conventional surgery for large or superficial saphenous vein reflux
Sclerotherapy patients can typically return to light activity right after the session. The clinic advises strict sun protection for two months after vascular and plastic surgeries. This prevents pigmentation issues from bruising.
Services for International Patients
Clinic Graf Guimarães provides a dedicated foreign-patient workflow for those traveling from abroad. The medical team offers consultations in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Care plans are created before arrival to streamline surgery. Specialists provide detailed clinical follow-up during recovery in Curitiba.
