Keloid scars Treatment in Dr. Rodrigo Bastos
About the clinic
Dr. Rodrigo Bastos provides scar correction for keloids and other unsightly skin marks at his practice in Brasília, Brazil. Dr. Bastos is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and holds international fellowships from NYU and Istanbul. He performs over 250 plastic surgeries annually, focusing on techniques that improve scar texture and appearance.
Scar correction options
The clinic offers both surgical and minimally invasive methods to address keloids and scar tissue. Dr. Rodrigo Bastos selects the method based on the scar's size, age, and location on the body.
- Surgical scar revision. This procedure involves removing the old scar tissue and closing the wound with precise plastic surgery techniques.
- Dermal fillers for scars. Injectable fillers help correct contour irregularities by softening depressed or sunken scars.
- Dermabrasion. This mechanical resurfacing method smooths the texture of superficial skin layers.
- Chemical peel. Acid peeling helps renew the outer skin layer to improve pigmentation and texture.
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP). These regenerative injections use the patient's own blood to stimulate collagen production and speed up healing.
Specialized surgical expertise
Dr. Rodrigo Bastos has over 15 years of experience in plastic surgery. He completed his residency in General Surgery at UNICAMP and specialized training at the Hospital Federal de Ipanema. His training includes a facelift fellowship at NYU with Dr. Daniel Baker and a rhinoplasty fellowship in Istanbul. In his Brasília clinic, he uses a post-operative protocol designed to prevent infection and limit the formation of new keloids.
Diagnostics and planning
Before any procedure, patients undergo a plastic surgery consultation. Dr. Rodrigo Bastos uses 3D modeling and computer simulations for surgical planning. This helps patients visualize potential changes before the surgery starts. The clinic is located within the Linea Vitta Clinical Center and uses PIEZO ultrasonic technology for precise tissue handling. During the initial evaluation, the doctor determines if a single method or a combination of therapies is needed for the best result. To begin your personalized assessment, you can request a consultation through Bookimed.

Dr. Rodrigo Bastos: more details about the clinic
Dr. Rodrigo Bastos is a plastic surgery clinic in Brasília, Brazil. It operates within the Linea Vitta Clinical Center. The medical team includes four doctors focused on facial rejuvenation and body contouring.
Accreditations and Expertise
Dr. Rodrigo Bastos is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). The practice is registered with the regional medical council under CRM-DF 17938 and RQE 15819.
Dr. Bastos leads the FAST FELLOW training program for other physicians. This course provides hands-on instruction in deep plane facial anatomy and surgical techniques.
Facial Rejuvenation and Rhinoplasty
The clinic focuses on structural facial surgery rather than surface-level skin adjustments. Surgeons perform the Deep Plane Facelift to reposition underlying muscle and connective tissue. This improves jawline definition and softens deep facial lines.
The Deep Neck approach targets fat layers beneath the neck musculature. These techniques aim for natural results that avoid the tight look of traditional lifts.
For nasal surgery, the clinic uses several advanced methods:
- Hybrid Rhinoplasty with 3D modeling and computer simulations for surgical planning
- PIEZO Rhinoplasty, which uses ultrasonic energy for precise bone shaping
- Eyelid surgery (Blepharoplasty) to remove excess skin and reposition orbital fat
- Brow lifts and lip lifts to improve upper facial balance
Specialists also provide facial harmonization treatments, including bichectomy and hyaluronic acid fillers. These options help patients reach their goals without major surgery.
Breast and Body Contouring
A key differentiator is the R24R breast augmentation technique. This rapid recovery system helps patients return to routine activities quickly. The protocol includes a 14-point infection safety system and specific surgical methods. These include Dual Plane placement and the Grip Plane technique to prevent implant migration.
The body contouring department offers various surgical solutions:
- Mommy Makeover combining tummy tuck and breast procedures
- Liposculpture for the chin, cheeks, arms, and abdomen
- Gynecomastia treatment using ultrasonic liposuction to remove male breast tissue
- Fat grafting to restore volume in specific body areas
Patients seeking breast surgery must meet specific health criteria. For the R24R technique, this means a BMI under 25.
Medical Training and Technology
Dr. Rodrigo Bastos completed his plastic surgery residency at the Federal Hospital of Ipanema. He holds international fellowship training in facelifts from New York University (NYU) and completed a rhinoplasty fellowship in Istanbul.
The clinic uses 3D computer simulations to show patients predicted outcomes before surgery. Surgeons also use PIEZO technology for millimetric precision during bone-related procedures.
Care for International Patients
The clinic focuses on procedure-specific recovery planning for those traveling from abroad. For R24R breast surgery, many patients can drive and work the next day. This program includes immediate arm movement exercises to prevent stiffness.
