Keloid scars Treatment in Grupo Bianca Ohana
About the clinic
Treatment for keloid scars is a specialty at Grupo Bianca Ohana in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The clinic holds international TEMOS accreditation and is led by Dra. Bianca Ohana, a plastic surgeon with residency training at the National Cancer Institute (INCA) and fellowships at Utah University and ASAPS in the USA. This expertise is vital because keloids are treated with a logic similar to tumors to prevent regrowth.
Diagnostic approach
Successful correction begins with a detailed skin evaluation. Dra. Bianca Ohana examines the scar texture, color, and location to determine the risk of recurrence. During the initial consultation, patients receive a personalized plan that may include prevention or active removal. International patients can use telemedicine to begin this process before traveling to Brazil.
Treatment and surgical options
The clinic provides several methods to reduce scar thickness and improve appearance:
- Silicone gel or sheet therapy. This non-invasive method serves as the first-line treatment. It helps prevent scar growth and flattens early-stage keloids.
- Intralesional injection therapy. Medication is injected directly into the scar tissue. This helps reduce symptoms like itching and decreases the overall thickness of the keloid.
- Surgical excision with adjuvant radiotherapy. For resistant keloids, the surgeon performs an intralesional resection. Within 48 hours, the patient receives betatherapy or electron beam radiotherapy to stop the keloid from returning.
- Laser therapy. Fractional lasers or intense pulsed light improve the texture and color of the skin. This works well for hypertrophic scars and specific keloid types.
Patient safety and care
Grupo Bianca Ohana operates as a boutique clinic in the Ipanema district. For complex surgical procedures, Dra. Bianca Ohana works with partner hospitals that have intensive care units, such as Hospital Samaritano or Rede D’Or. This setup combines the comfort of a private clinic with the safety of a full-scale medical center. The team manages the entire process from prevention to post-surgical recovery.
You can request a consultation for scar correction through the Bookimed platform to discuss your case with the specialist.

Accreditations and Professional Recognition
The clinic holds certifications that reflect international and national medical standards:
- SBCP (Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery)

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
The surgical team addresses aesthetic and functional concerns through individualized planning. For nasal procedures, the clinic performs structured rhinoplasty and septoplasty to balance appearance with breathing function. Reconstructive services focus on oncologic care, including breast reconstruction using the DIEP flap technique – this uses the patient's own abdominal tissue.
The practice also treats various skin conditions and aesthetic goals:
- Management of benign and malignant skin tumors
- Blepharoplasty with precision tissue preservation for eyelid function
- Facelifts, neck lifts, and eyebrow-elevation surgery
- Body contouring including liposuction, tummy tucks, and buttock lifts
- Correction of raised and keloid scars using silicone-based protocols
Surgeries take place at hospitals with emergency support, including Rede D'Or and Hospital Samaritano.
Aesthetic Medicine and Cosmetology
Non-surgical treatments form part of personalized facial rejuvenation plans. The clinic uses MD Codes, a standardized system for hyaluronic acid fillers, to achieve natural-looking lifting and volume. Patients seeking nasal improvement without surgery can choose Liquid Rhinoplasty (Rinomodelação). This refines the nasal bridge or tip using fillers.
The aesthetic department uses specialized platforms for skin tightening and texture:
- Ulthera microfocused ultrasound for non-invasive lifting
- Fractional CO2 laser for skin resurfacing
- Sculptra and other collagen biostimulators
- Botulinum toxin for wrinkle reduction and excessive sweating
These office-based procedures are often combined to treat lines around the eyes or sharpen jawline definition.
Safety Protocols and Clinical Team
The medical team includes 7 doctors specializing in plastic surgery, dermatology, endocrinology, and anesthesiology. Dr. Bianca Ohana completed her residency at INCA and an Aesthetic International Fellowship at the University of Utah. All major cases require preoperative cardiology and laboratory assessments to reduce surgical risks.
Only members of the Brazilian Society of Anesthesia perform anesthesia. Post-surgical safety includes deep vein thrombosis prevention through early movement and medication when needed.
Services for International Patients
The clinic supports patients traveling to Rio de Janeiro through telemedicine coordination for initial consultations. International visitors receive written post-procedure guidance at discharge. Follow-up instructions also come via WhatsApp, so patients can manage recovery steps like medication schedules and wound care after returning home.
