Keloid scars Treatment in Dr. Carolina Dantas
About the clinic
Keloid scar care at Dr. Carolina Dantas in Natal, Brazil, includes individual assessment and scar correction surgery. For keloids, surgery may be paired with additional treatments to lower recurrence risk. Dr. Carolina Dantas is a plastic surgeon and member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and the Brazilian Medical Association (AMB).
Scar assessment and treatment timing
A consultation assesses the scar’s type, location, size, depth, and skin quality. Online consultations are available for surgical planning. Surgery is usually planned 12 to 18 months after the original injury, allowing the scar to mature. Earlier surgery may affect the result.
Surgical options for keloids and other scars
- Scar correction surgery: The technique depends on the scar, its location, skin quality, and patient factors. It may address keloids, raised or hardened scars, widened scars, uneven edges, retracted scars, discoloration, or poor results from earlier surgery.
- Keloid management with additional treatments: Surgery is generally combined with other treatments to lower the risk of recurrence. The specific additional treatments are not listed.
Simple cases may be treated with outpatient procedures. Complex scars require an operating room. The aim is to make the scar more discreet, softer, and better placed; surgery cannot remove a scar completely.
Care after scar surgery
- Wound care: Local care supports healing after the procedure.
- Sun protection: Strict protection is part of recovery.
- Scar products: Use products prescribed for scar healing.
- Follow-up: Regular visits track how the scar changes.
Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss scar assessment and surgical planning.

Dr. Carolina Dantas: more details about the clinic
Dr. Carolina Dantas is a private plastic surgery practice in Natal, Brazil. The clinic combines advanced breast surgery with body contouring and restorative procedures. Dr. Carolina Dantas heads the facility as a specialist in surgical remodeling and reconstruction.
Accreditations and Professional Standards
The clinic is accredited by the SBCP (Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery). This certification confirms adherence to national standards for surgical safety and ethical practice. Dr. Dantas holds professional registrations CRM/RN: 5438 and RQE: 1681.
Body Contouring and Muscle Definition
The practice uses several surgical and non-surgical methods to reshape the body. Surgeons perform lipoaspiration and lipoescultura to remove fat and refine curves. For non-surgical muscle toning, the clinic uses CMSlim technology.
- CMSlim delivers 20,000 supramaximal muscle contractions per session.
- The standard protocol includes 8 sessions over four weeks.
- Patients often notice visible improvements by the sixth session.
- Maintenance requires one session per month to sustain muscle definition.
For patients with loose skin, the clinic uses Argoplasma. This technology improves skin firmness through a minimally invasive application. The facility also provides SAFER ultrasound technology to break up fat cells before removal.
Breast and Restorative Surgery
The clinic offers procedures for both aesthetic and restorative needs. Specialized care includes breast reconstruction for patients who have undergone a mastectomy. Techniques include silicone implants, tissue expanders, and patient tissue flaps.
Surgeons can perform these procedures during the mastectomy or after cancer treatments. The clinic also treats several specific conditions:
- Gynecomastia – surgical removal of excess male breast tissue.
- Masculinizing mammoplasty – skin and gland removal to create a flat chest contour.
- Scar correction – improving the texture of raised, dark, or retracted scars.
- Post-obesity surgery – removing excess skin after significant weight loss.
- Ninfoplastia – specialized intimate plastic surgery.
Scar treatments are typically performed 12 to 18 months after the original injury. This delay allows the tissue to fully mature before corrective surgery begins.
Technology and Surgical Equipment
Diagnostic and treatment tools at the clinic focus on accuracy and patient safety. Diagnostic tools include mammography, ultrasound, and MRI scans. For surgical fat reduction, ultrasonic cannulas break fat cells gently.
These cannulas allow more precise contouring than traditional manual methods. All major surgeries take place in a dedicated surgical center with general anesthesia.
International Patient Services and Recovery
The clinic supports international patients primarily in Portuguese. Online consultations are available for surgical planning and creating individualized treatment plans. The practice emphasizes structured recovery for long-term results.
For procedures like lipoabdominoplasty, the clinic requires daily lymphatic drainage for 30 days. This protocol helps skin adherence and reduces swelling during the first month. Final surgical results appear gradually over several months.
Before surgery, the clinic enforces safety protocols such as an 8-hour fast. Patients must avoid alcohol and highly processed foods during the pre-operative phase.
