Plastic Surgery Procedures
Every treatment begins with a medical evaluation. This assessment covers anatomy and health history, so the team can define realistic limits and safety protocols for each case.
Body contouring and breast surgeries are primary focuses:
- Liposuction for fat removal and body shaping
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to remove excess skin and tighten muscles
- Mammaplasty and breast lift procedures
- Treatment for gynecomastia (enlarged male breast tissue)
- Panniculectomy to remove large skin folds after weight loss
The clinic also offers facial and intimate procedures:
- Blepharoplasty to correct sagging or puffy eyelids
- Otoplasty for ear shape or position correction
- Labiaplasty for intimate aesthetic reconstruction
- Reconstructive surgery for functional and aesthetic restoration
Surgical plans are tailored to each patient's anatomy. This keeps proportions balanced and aligned with individual goals.
Technology and Treatment Methods
For fat removal, the clinic uses Vaser technology. This ultrasound-assisted system breaks down fat cells while preserving surrounding tissues. It's used for body contouring and gynecomastia treatments, delivering more precise results in targeted areas.
Patient Services and Support
International patients can reach the clinic through online channels before traveling. This helps clarify medical history and expectations ahead of the first visit.
The team provides structured follow-up instructions at every stage of recovery. Languages available for coordination include Portuguese, English, and Spanish.
