About the clinic

Lipoabdominoplasty at the clinic of Dr. Paulo Henrique Laia in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, combines a tummy tuck with liposuction for complete body contouring. This procedure addresses excess skin and localized fat in one surgery to improve the abdominal profile. Patients benefit from the expertise of a surgeon who has performed over 5,000 operations.

This combined approach is suitable for adults dealing with loose skin or fat deposits after pregnancy or weight loss. It also helps patients with diastasis recti, which is a separation of the abdominal muscles. During the surgery, Dr. Paulo Henrique Laia can perform a plicature to tighten the abdominal wall and restore muscle function.

Advanced Technologies for Body Contouring

The clinic uses several modern tools to improve results and help with skin tightening. These technologies include:

Vaser: This ultrasound tool breaks down fat cells before removal for smoother results.
Argoplasma: This uses argon plasma to help firm the skin from the inside.
BodyTite: This radiofrequency device helps tighten tissue and reduce sagging.
Morpheus: This microneedling technology improves skin texture and tone.

Recovery and Results

Incisions are usually made in the lower abdomen and around the belly button. After the surgery, patients must wear a compression garment to support the new contours. Recovery involves a gradual return to daily life, while heavy exercise should be avoided for several weeks. Like any surgery, risks may include scarring, hematoma, or infection, which the surgeon discusses before the procedure.

Dr. Paulo Henrique Laia: more details about the clinic

Brazil, Belo Horizonte

Dr. Paulo Henrique Laia is a single-specialty plastic surgery practice based in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The clinic focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures for the face, breasts, and body contour. Operations are performed at Premier Hospital Dia, a facility with defined safety protocols.

Credentials and Training

The practice is led by Dr. Paulo Henrique Laia, a plastic surgeon who completed his residency in 2013. He is a Full Member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) – the highest membership category in the society.

Dr. Laia trained at the Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). He later served as a preceptor for the plastic surgery residency there. The clinic holds ISAPS and TEMOS certifications.

Facial and Breast Procedures

The clinic specializes in advanced facial rejuvenation. These techniques target deep tissue layers for natural results without excessive skin tension:

Deep Plane Facelift – repositions deep tissues below the SMAS layer
Deep Neck Lift – treats skin, muscle, and deep fat for neck contouring
Mini Facelift – a less invasive option for patients with mild facial laxity
Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty – nose reshaping that can also correct a deviated septum
Brow Lift – repositions the eyebrows and forehead tissues

For breast surgery, the practice offers several augmentation and reduction methods. Dr. Laia uses Técnica Preservé for breast augmentation. This Motiva-developed approach creates implant space while protecting internal breast anatomy and muscle.

Body Contouring Technologies

Body contouring often combines liposuction with energy-based technologies. These tools treat fat and improve skin firmness. The clinic uses the following platforms:

Vaser – ultrasound technology that emulsifies fat before removal
Argoplasma – argon gas plasma that creates a thermal effect for skin tightening
BodyTite and FaceTite – bipolar radiofrequency for tissue tightening
Morpheus – fractional radiofrequency micro-needling to improve skin texture

These technologies are often part of lipoabdominoplasty procedures. This combined surgery addresses both localized fat and excess skin in a single session.

Diagnostic Capabilities

The clinic provides nasal endoscopy as a primary diagnostic tool. This helps evaluate internal nasal structures before functional or aesthetic nose surgery. These evaluations confirm that surgery won't impair breathing.

Services for International Patients

Online consultations are available as a first step for patients outside Belo Horizonte. This allows preliminary planning before travel. Post-operative care includes ongoing monitoring and recovery guidance throughout healing.

Dr Paulo is wonderful—kind, polite, gentle, and truly professional with excellence. Along with the team, he is always ready to help, answer questions, and provide all the support needed. I’m 20 days post-surgery and I’m already very satisfied with what I’m seeing. I’d like to thank all of you for all the care, from the reception girls, Júlio, Tábata, Hildes, and especially the girls from the hyperbaric unit, in particular Gabriela. I felt confident from the very first appointment. Thank you, Dome, Premier team…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My experience with Dr. was simply exceptional. From the very first consultation, I was treated with care, respect, and absolute transparency. At no point did I feel pressured to undergo any procedures; instead, I received technical, honest, and individualized guidance, which gave me a great sense of security. The surgical result exceeded my expectations. It turned out extremely natural, harmonious, and respected my features exactly as I was looking for. Beyond technical competence, the attention given in both pre- and post-operative care made all the difference. The team is welcoming, organized, and always available to clarify any questions. It’s rare to find a professional who combines surgical excellence, good aesthetic taste, ethics, and genuine patient care. I highly recommend (without hesitation) anyone looking for a highly qualified plastic surgeon who is committed to natural and safe results. My gratitude to Dr. and the entire team for their professionalism and an impeccable experience.
