Tummy Tuck and Liposuction in Dr. George Soares (clinic do Dr. George Soares)
About the clinic
Combined tummy tuck and liposuction at the practice of Dr. George Soares in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, provides a personalized approach to body contouring. The clinic offers three specific abdominoplasty techniques and tumescent liposuction to remove stubborn fat and excess skin. Dr. George Soares prioritizes safety by following strict Brazilian CFM regulations, which limit fat removal to 7% of total body weight.
Surgical Methods and Safety
The clinic provides different types of abdominoplasty based on the patient's needs. A classic or mini tummy tuck places the scar just above the pubic area. The inverted method places the incision in the fold under the breasts. During the surgery, the doctor performs a plication of the rectus abdominis muscle to tighten the abdominal wall. Liposuction uses the tumescent method, which involves injecting a liquid solution to help remove fat with less bleeding and bruising.
To reduce the risk of blood clots, the clinic does not perform abdominoplasty and liposuction at the exact same surgical time. This policy helps manage the physical stress on the body and promotes a safer experience. Patients can receive general anesthesia, an epidural, or raquidian anesthesia depending on the surgical plan.
Recovery and Aftercare
Hospitalization typically lasts between 24 to 48 hours. Patients must plan for a full recovery period of 30 to 40 days. The post-operative protocol is structured to help with healing and shape the final results. Key recovery steps include:
- Wearing a compression garment for 30 to 45 days.
- Sleeping in the Fowler (semi-sitting) position to reduce tension on the skin.
- Starting lymphatic drainage sessions 7 days after the procedure.
Patient Guidelines
This surgery focuses on body shaping rather than weight loss. Patients should avoid sun exposure and stop driving for two months. Lifting heavy objects, going to the gym, and swimming are also restricted for 60 days. The practice in Rio de Janeiro supports international visitors with assistance in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to learn more about your options.

How are we doing?
Dr. George Soares (clinic do Dr. George Soares): more details about the clinic
Dr. George Soares is a private plastic surgery practice in the Barra da Tijuca district of Rio de Janeiro. The clinic covers a wide range of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures for the face, body, and breasts. Dr. George Soares personally coordinates all treatment planning to match each patient's goals.
Professional Recognition and Expertise
The practice is led by Dr. George Soares, who graduated in medicine in 1983. He completed two residencies in general surgery and plastic surgery at Hospital do Andaraí. He then served as senior assistant surgeon and chief of a surgical center at the Ivo Pitanguy Clinic for over a decade. Dr. Soares is a Membro-Titular of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery.
Facial Rejuvenation and Rhinoplasty
The clinic offers several facial lifting techniques to address aging and tissue laxity. These include frontal, facial, and neck lifts. Surgeons also perform dermoabrasion – a surgical scraping method using high-rotation diamond burs. This smooths wrinkles or acne scars. The procedure typically lasts 1 to 2 hours under local or general anesthesia.
Rhinoplasty services focus on both aesthetic reshaping and functional improvements. Dr. Soares performs rhinoseptoplasty to correct breathing issues from a deviated septum. Each nasal surgery is tailored to the patient's anatomy and skin type. The clinic also treats congenital ear deformities, such as microtia, through specialized otoplasty techniques.
Breast and Body Contouring
Breast procedures cover reconstructive and aesthetic needs. The clinic offers mastopexy, which removes excess skin to lift the breasts with or without implants. Other breast services include:
- Breast reduction (mastoplastia redutora)
- Breast augmentation with prostheses
- Gynecomastia surgery for male breast reduction
- Nipple correction for inverted mamilla or size reduction
- Capsulectomy to manage post-prosthesis contracture
Body contouring options include classic, inverted, and mini abdominoplasty. These procedures address excess abdominal skin and fat. Recovery takes 30 to 40 days. The surgeon gives specific instructions, such as sleeping in the Fowler position to protect the surgical area. Liposuction and fat grafting are also available to refine body shape further.
Reconstructive and Intimate Surgery
The clinic has a strong focus on reparative surgery for scars and tumor-related tissue loss. Dr. Soares uses tissue flaps and grafting to restore anatomy and function. Reconstructive services include expanders for burn sequelae and DIEP flap reconstruction. The practice also offers female intimate surgeries, including labiaplasty to reduce the labia minora.
Reconstructive planning is highly individualized. The surgeon gives detailed guidance on risk factors that affect healing, such as smoking and alcohol. This helps minimize complications like seromas or infection. Long-term follow-up monitors results and manages any complex implant issues.
Services for International Patients
Dr. George Soares treats international patients seeking surgery in Brazil. The clinic offers coordination services to help manage treatment from abroad. Staff communicate in several languages:
- Portuguese
