Calf Reduction in clinic Sollos
About the clinic
Calf reduction or augmentation surgery at Clinic Sollos in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, helps reshape the lower legs using silicone implants. The procedure is performed by Dr. Etienne Soares Miranda, a specialist with international credentials from ASPS and ISAPS. Patients benefit from surgeries performed at Hospital Mater Dei, which features advanced hybrid operating rooms for enhanced safety.
The Surgical Method and Implants
The surgeon uses silicone implants to add volume and definition to the calves. Dr. Miranda makes a small incision, about 2 cm long, in the natural fold behind the knee. This placement helps hide the scar once it heals. The implant sits under the thick layer of tissue that covers the calf muscles. This technique creates a natural look and provides a stable projection for the lower leg.
Safety and Accreditation
Clinic Sollos holds several prestigious certifications, including TEMOS and SBCP. These awards show the facility follows strict international safety rules. Dr. Etienne Soares Miranda is a member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). He is also known for pioneering advanced facelift techniques in the Minas Gerais region.
Anesthesia and Hospital Stay
The surgery typically uses epidural anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable. You will need to stay in the hospital for at least 24 hours for monitoring. Before the procedure, you must follow specific steps. These include using germicidal soap for several days. You must also avoid taking aspirin or similar medications for two weeks before and after the surgery.
Recovery and Aftercare
The clinic follows a strict recovery protocol to help you heal well. You will need to use compression stockings immediately after the operation. Pain is usually managed with common anti-inflammatory medications. To get the best results, you should follow these recovery steps:
- Rest: Avoid walking during the first few days to keep the implants from moving.
- Activity: Most patients return to their normal daily routine after about 15 days.
- Exercise: You can start physical activities and gym workouts after one month.
- Final Shape: The new leg shape becomes clear after two months.
The surgical scar takes about six months to fully mature and fade. If you are interested in calf surgery in Brazil, you can request a consultation through Bookimed.

clinic Sollos: more details about the clinic
Clinic Sollos is a plastic surgery center in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The facility focuses on facial rejuvenation and body contouring through precise surgical planning. All procedures take place at Hospital Mater Dei. This partnership gives patients access to advanced hybrid operating rooms with high-definition image integration.
Accreditations and Professional Standing
The clinic holds several international and national certifications:
- SBCP – Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica
- ISAPS – International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
- ASPS – American Society of Plastic Surgeons
- TEMOS International Healthcare Accreditation
Dr. Etienne Soares Miranda leads the medical team with around 20 years of experience. He is a Titular Member of the SBCP and trains other surgeons at the Full Face Laboratory in São Paulo. He trained at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG).
Facial Plastic Surgery
The clinic is known for its Deep Plane Facelift approach. This technique moves deep facial tissues in a single block. It avoids the "pulled" look by focusing on structural support rather than skin tension. Surgeons also perform endoscopic upper-third lifts and deep neck surgery.
Facelift recovery typically lasts two to three weeks. Patients can usually return to light activities within 14 days. Final tissue maturation continues for up to six months. Traditional and endoscopic lifting methods are also available.
Rhinoplasty services cover both primary and secondary procedures. Secondary rhinoplasty corrects issues caused by previous surgeries elsewhere. Procedures usually take between 90 minutes and 3 hours. Most nasal surgeries allow same-day discharge.
Body Contouring and Shaping
Body procedures aim for harmonious proportions rather than simple fat removal. The team performs several advanced liposuction variants:
- Vibrolipoaspiração – uses a vibrating cannula at 5,000 vibrations per minute
- BodyTite – applies radiofrequency energy for skin contraction
- Slimlipo – uses diode laser technology for fat melting
- Lipo HD/LAD – high-definition sculpting for muscle emphasis
Abdominal contouring includes traditional abdominoplasty and lipoabdominoplasty. This combined method reduces tissue dissection to preserve blood supply. Patients may stay in the hospital for one or more nights. Recovery generally requires one to four weeks of rest.
Technology and Safety Protocols
Procedures take place at the Mater Dei Contorno center. The hybrid rooms support guided catheter interventions and high-definition imaging. A structured pre-operative checklist begins 30 days before surgery. This includes cardiac evaluations and lifestyle adjustments like smoking cessation.
For facial surgeries, specialists evaluate skincare routines and suspend retinoid use. This helps improve skin quality before the first incision. Surgeons use Ringer's lactate with lidocaine solutions during liposuction to ease fat removal and manage pain.
Services for International Patients
International patients receive structured guidance and preparation materials. These documents explain the surgical pathway and recovery expectations. The clinic offers consultations in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Post-operative care includes close monitoring during the first days of recovery. Lymphatic drainage therapy is often recommended to reduce swelling and prevent scarring.
