Dr. Isabelle Dolavale has performed over 2,000 reparative surgeries throughout her career. She has dedicated more than 15 years to reconstructive plastic surgery. The clinic is led by a Titular Member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP).
The surgeon also operates within reference burn treatment centers in Rio de Janeiro. This gives her extensive experience managing severe scars and complex reconstructions. Her training includes general surgery and videolaparoscopy, which supports surgical planning in challenging cases.
The clinic focuses on reparative plastic surgery for patients after trauma, illness, or major weight loss. Care priorities include restoring movement and quality of life. Specialists address a broad range of reconstructive needs:
For patients with chronic wounds and ulcers, the clinic provides advanced treatment options. This includes diabetic, venous, and arterial ulcers that fail to heal. Surgeons use skin grafts and flaps to close deep lesions and preserve limbs.
The practice offers aesthetic plastic surgery with a focus on natural-looking results. Procedures include abdominoplasty, mastopexy, and thigh lifting. Otoplasty is available for children starting at age 6, as well as adolescents and adults.
For keloids and hypertrophic scars, the clinic uses combined treatment strategies. These methods reduce the risk of scar recurrence while easing symptoms like pain or itching. Patients should provide a full history of the initial injury to help with planning.
Complex wound treatment involves coordination with other medical specialties. The team works with endocrinology and orthopedics to manage diabetic foot complications. Doppler exams often help evaluate blood flow in patients with chronic ulcers.
For pressure ulcers, the clinic performs surgical cleaning and infection control. Deep lesions may require reconstruction with surgical flaps. This approach aims to restore the patient's ability to walk and perform daily activities.
The clinic provides structured support for international patients. Staff members offer assistance in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. A direct WhatsApp channel is available for answering medical questions at every stage of care.
Patients receive detailed guidance for health insurance authorization. The clinic helps prepare necessary documentation, including medical reports, photos, and clinical exams. This highlights functional issues – such as pain or movement limitations – to support coverage requests.
The care pathway includes thorough evaluation and surgical planning before the procedure. Following surgery, the clinic provides individualized follow-up to monitor recovery. Guidance on post-operative rest and activity levels is provided during the initial consultation.
