Eduardo Sucupira is a private plastic surgery practice in the Barra da Tijuca neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. Dr. Eduardo Sucupira leads the clinic with over 30 years of surgical experience. The practice takes an anatomy-first approach to aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Precise planning delivers natural-looking results for both facial and body contouring.
Key Facts and Patient Safety
The clinic has performed over 100,000 procedures throughout its history. Safety begins with a detailed clinical history and exam review. This planning continues through anesthetic preparation and personalized post-operative monitoring. The clinic holds several professional affiliations and certifications:
- Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP)
- American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
- International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS)
- Official medical registrations CRM/RJ 583603 and RQE 8382
These credentials verify that the surgical team meets high standards of training and ethical practice.
Facial Rejuvenation and Rhinoplasty
Facial procedures target the specific anatomical layers involved in aging. For significant sagging, the clinic offers Deep Plane Facelift and SMAS techniques. These methods reposition deep facial structures rather than just pulling the skin. Patients with early signs of aging can choose a preventive mini lifting option. This technique requires less tissue work, so recovery is faster than with a full facelift.
Rhinoplasty balances nasal aesthetics while maintaining or improving breathing function. Dr. Sucupira performs several adjustments based on individual needs:
- Removal of bony nasal humps
- Refinement and projection of the nasal tip
- Reduction of the nasal wings (alae)
- Wide nose correction
Early visible changes often appear within 15 days for facial lifts. Rhinoplasty results typically stabilize around the 12th month.
Body Contouring and Breast Surgery
The clinic provides surgical and non-surgical solutions for body shaping. Traditional liposuction targets localized fat deposits for contour improvement. For less invasive options, the clinic uses Slim Lipo laser lipolysis. This system uses specific laser wavelengths to break down fat cells and stimulate collagen. Abdominoplasty corrects abdominal skin laxity and repairs separated muscles.
Breast surgeries include augmentation with silicone gel implants, which can be combined with mastopexy (breast lift). The team also performs breast reductions and intimate surgeries, including clitoroplasty and vaginoplasty. Each plan balances body proportions while respecting the natural healing timeline.
Diagnostic and Treatment Technologies
Modern imaging and laser systems support the clinic's precision-based approach. Vectra 3D imaging analyzes facial volume, projections, and asymmetries during consultations. This high-definition technology helps patients visualize potential outcomes before surgery. The practice also features platforms for skin and fat treatment:
- CO₂ laser resurfacing – uses fractional microbeams to stimulate collagen and treat sun damage.
- CoolSculpting – a non-surgical cryolipolysis treatment to freeze and reduce localized fat.
- Sutura Silhouette – a 30-minute office procedure using absorbable threads for immediate facial lifting.
These technologies offer alternatives to surgery for patients with mild to moderate concerns.
Services for International Patients
The clinic provides consultations in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. The medical team manages every stage from initial planning to recovery. Post-operative support includes specialized therapies, such as facial drainage, to reduce swelling and speed healing. Dr. Sucupira and his team advise when patients can safely return to social activities and exercise.
