Reconstructive surgery in Dr. Augusto Valente (LipoHP®)

Dr. Augusto Valente (LipoHP®) is a private plastic surgery practice in Dubai. Established in 2026, the clinic operates within a licensed hospital to ensure surgical safety. The facility focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures led by a specialist with extensive international experience.

Professional Background and Accreditations

Dr. Augusto Valente leads the clinic. He has over 20 years of experience in plastic surgery and has performed more than 7,500 surgeries across Brazil and Dubai. His training includes a residency at Hospital das Clínicas and a fellowship at New York University.

The practice holds memberships and accreditations from major international organizations:

• International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS)
• American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
• Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP)

Dr. Valente regularly lectures at international symposia to share case studies with the global medical community.

Body Contouring and LipoHP®

The clinic specializes in LipoHP® (High Performance Liposuction), a surgical planning method developed by Dr. Valente. This technique uses a layered approach to achieve body harmonization. It combines deep-layer volume reduction with superficial sculpting to reveal natural muscle definition.

The body contouring department offers procedures for different physical goals:

• 360-degree liposuction and liposculpture
• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)
• Full body lifts and belt lipectomy
• Fat grafting to restore volume in specific areas

Liposuction procedures typically take 1–4 hours and use tumescent infiltration. This method involves a dilute saline solution to reduce bleeding and ease fat removal. Most patients return to desk-based work within 10–14 days.

Reconstructive and Facial Surgery

The practice provides specialized care for facial trauma and nasal reconstruction. For facial fractures, surgeons use Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF). This method restores bone alignment with titanium mini-plates and biocompatible implants.

Nasal reconstruction addresses damage from tumors, injuries, or previous surgeries. These complex cases often require multi-stage planning. Specialists use local or distant tissue flaps and grafts to rebuild the nose's skin, cartilage, and internal lining.

Other facial and breast procedures available include:

• Rhinoplasty, including ethnic and revision cases
• Endoscopic facelifts and facial rejuvenation
• Breast augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy (lift)
• Ear reconstruction and earlobe repair

Breast lift procedures can be performed alone or combined with implants. This surgery repositions tissue and the nipple higher on the chest while removing excess skin.

Surgical Safety and Technology

All operations take place in a licensed hospital surgical center. A dedicated anesthetist manages every case. The clinic offers three anesthesia levels based on procedure complexity:

• Local (tumescent) anesthesia for minor soft-tissue repairs
• Local anesthesia with intravenous sedation
• General anesthesia for complex fractures or extensive body contouring

For facial trauma, biocompatible implants are used because they do not cause rejection. These devices remain in the body permanently without causing irritation.

Services for International Patients

The clinic has a dedicated workflow for patients traveling from the GCC and other regions. Care is available in English and Portuguese. A dedicated assistant serves as the primary contact for foreign patients.

International services include several remote and in-person stages:

• Online pre-consultations via video call and medical history review
• Surgery scheduling early in the patient's stay
• In-person follow-up in Dubai for wound checks and suture removal
• Remote monitoring once the patient returns home

Patients typically stay in Dubai for 10–14 days for initial recovery. The clinic provides detailed education on recovery timelines. Scar maturation usually takes 12–18 months.
