About the clinic
Keloid scar correction at Cristiano Campos plastic surgery Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro helps patients reduce the size, redness, and discomfort of raised scars. The clinic is accredited by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and offers both surgical and non-surgical solutions. The medical team specializes in advanced wound closure techniques to lower the risk of scar recurrence.
Expertise in scar correction
Treatment at the clinic is led by Dr. Carlos Fernando Gomes de Almeida, a plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience. Dr. Carlos Fernando Gomes de Almeida completed postgraduate training at the prestigious Instituto Ivo Pitanguy. He also holds a postgraduate degree in laser and cosmetology from Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein. His background allows for a precise combination of surgery and laser technology to treat complex keloids.
Keloid treatment options
The clinic provides several methods to address keloid tissue based on the size and age of the scar. Patients can access the following treatments:
- Corticosteroid injections. These intralesional injections help flatten the keloid and reduce inflammation during a quick office visit.
- Laser therapy. Dr. Carlos Fernando Gomes de Almeida uses fractional CO2 or pulsed dye lasers to improve scar texture and color.
- Surgical revision. Surgeons remove the keloid tissue and use advanced closure techniques to relieve tension on the skin.
- Topical treatments. This includes silicone gels and pressure therapy to help prevent the scar from growing back after surgery.
Patient care and safety
The facility follows strict safety standards regulated by ANVISA and the CFM in Brazil. Depending on the procedure, patients may stay in the hospital for one day or return home immediately. Post-operative care often includes lymphatic drainage to support the healing process. The clinic serves international patients in English and Spanish, providing clear guidance on scar management and recovery. To explore these options, you may request a consultation through Bookimed.

Cristiano Campos plastic surgery Ipanema: more details about the clinic
Cristiano Campos plastic surgery Ipanema is a private practice in Brazil. The clinic offers surgical and non-surgical care in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Patients can book consultations in Rio de Janeiro's Ipanema district or São Paulo's Itaim Bibi neighborhood. All surgeries take place in hospital settings for safety and comfort.

Facial and Body Plastic Surgery
The surgical department handles aesthetic and reconstructive procedures for the face and body. Surgeons use modern techniques for both functional and cosmetic concerns. Rhinoplasty, for example, can include septal deviation correction. This improves breathing while refining facial harmony. Available procedures include:
- Facelift and eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)
- Nose, ear, and chin surgery (mentoplasty)
- Liposuction and tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
- Arm and thigh lifts
- Correction of scars and keloids
A multidisciplinary team manages post-operative care. Patients receive lymphatic drainage and specialized scar treatments to support healing. For arm lifts, the hospital stay is typically one day. Most patients return to daily activities in about 10 days. Physical exercise resumes after one month.
Aesthetic Medicine and Skin Technologies
Non-surgical technologies complement surgical results or work as stand-alone treatments. Ulthera uses micro-focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen in deep skin layers. There's no surface damage, so it suits patients not ready for surgical lifting. Other technology-based options include:
- CoolSculpting for non-surgical fat reduction through controlled cooling
- Velashape III for body contouring and skin texture improvement
- Fractional CO2 laser for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation around the eyes
- Microneedling and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapies
Injectable treatments use stabilized hyaluronic acid formulations. Skinbooster sessions provide deep hydration to improve skin elasticity without adding volume. This treatment typically involves three sessions at monthly intervals. The clinic also offers bio-stimulators to improve skin thickness and firmness over time.
Expert Medical Team
Dr. Cristiano Campos and Dr. Carlos Fernando Gomes de Almeida lead the practice. Dr. Gomes de Almeida brings over 20 years of surgical experience. Both completed postgraduate training in plastic surgery at the Instituto Ivo Pitanguy. They also hold postgraduate degrees in Laser and Cosmetology from Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein.
Services for International Patients
The clinic offers services in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Digital planning helps patients discuss treatment goals before arrival. However, an in-person examination is always required to finalize expectations. The team coordinates multidisciplinary follow-up so international patients have monitored recovery while in Brazil.
