Keloid scars Treatment in Complexo Lapidar
About the clinic
Keloid scar care at Complexo Lapidar in Manaus, Brazil, includes topical treatment, laser therapy, injections, dermabrasion, and surgery. Dr. José Cabral Jr., a plastic surgeon with over 15 years of experience, is an Instituto Ivo Pitanguy fellow and an SBCP specialist.
Assessment before scar treatment
A plastic surgeon assesses the scar before choosing a method. The clinic’s diagnostic checks may include:
- Pre-operative assessment: A plastic surgeon reviews the scar and planned treatment.
- Blood tests: A hemogram and coagulogram check blood health and clotting.
- Electrocardiogram: This checks the heart’s electrical activity before surgery.
- Imaging exams: These are performed when the surgeon indicates them.
Treatment options and Oxygene therapy
The surgeon selects scar correction based on the type of lesion. The clinic treats keloid, hypertrophic, atrophic, widened, and retracted scars.
- Topical treatment: A non-surgical option for scar care.
- Laser therapy: A treatment option selected according to the lesion.
- Dermabrasion: A procedure that treats the scar’s surface.
- Intralesional injections: Medication is injected into the scar.
- Surgical scar correction: Procedures may include surgical excision of the keloid.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (Oxygene): An on-site chamber delivers 100% oxygen at two to three times atmospheric pressure. This therapy supports tissue oxygenation and collagen synthesis after surgery.
Scar correction aims to reduce visible trauma and restore function or appearance. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may support healing and lower the risk of keloid formation.

Complexo Lapidar: more details about the clinic
Complexo Lapidar is a private plastic surgery center in Manaus, Brazil. Dr. José Cabral Jr. founded the clinic in 2026 as a single-specialty facility for aesthetic and reconstructive body contouring. The team includes an endocrinologist, internist, cardiologist, and anesthesiologist.
Accreditations and Professional Recognition
Complexo Lapidar holds accreditations from:
- SBCP – Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery
- ISAPS – International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
- ASPS – American Society of Plastic Surgeons
- TEMOS – Excellence in Medical Tourism
These certifications confirm the clinic follows recognized safety standards for international surgical patients.
Advanced Body Contouring and Liposuction
The surgical team specializes in high-definition body sculpting for patients near their ideal weight. These procedures refine proportions and enhance muscle definition. Key methods include:
- Lipo HD – Uses thin, vibrating cannulas to define muscle contours
- Lipoescultura – Fat removal with purification for grafting into areas like the buttocks
- Vibrolipoaspiração – Uses vibrating technology for easier fat removal
- One Step Lipo – A specialized approach designed to reduce typical recovery timelines
Dr. José Cabral Jr. leads these procedures and mentors other surgeons in the field. The clinic also offers gynecomastia surgery to reduce excess male breast tissue and improve chest contour.
Postpartum and Breast Surgery
The clinic corrects physical changes after pregnancy or weight loss. For the Mommy Makeover, surgeons create a personalized plan combining liposuction, tummy tucks, and breast lifting. They also help bariatric patients address skin laxity.
Breast procedures focus on aesthetic and functional improvements. Surgeons perform mastopexy to reposition sagging breasts. Reductive mammoplasty relieves discomfort from excess volume. For enhancement, the clinic offers breast implants and fat grafting using the patient's own tissue.
Surgical Technologies and Diastasis Correction
Complexo Lapilar uses specialized platforms to improve skin quality and abdominal function. These technologies achieve firmer results with smaller incisions. Key equipment includes:
- Renuvion – Combines radiofrequency and helium plasma for skin retraction and firming
- MILA – Minimally Invasive Lipoabdominoplasty for abdominal diastasis correction
- Video Guidance – Used during MILA to repair muscle separation through small incisions
The MILA technique corrects abdominal muscle separation with less scarring than traditional tummy tucks. Surgeons use Renuvion during liposuction, so the skin adheres more tightly to the new contour.
Hyperbaric Recovery and Patient Services
Postoperative care includes Oxygene, an on-site hyperbaric chamber. Patients breathe pressurized oxygen to speed tissue healing and reduce swelling. This therapy is part of the recovery plan for all major body procedures.
The Diamond Package serves international patients seeking a private recovery environment. It includes a luxury on-site apartment and a dedicated team of nurses and physiotherapists. Video consultations are available for initial planning. Staff members speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
