Specialties and Surgical Procedures
The clinic focuses on four main areas of plastic and restorative surgery. Each treatment plan begins with an evaluation of the patient's goals and physical proportions.
Facial Rejuvenation and Rhinoplasty
Facial procedures focus on repositioning deep facial planes so results look natural rather than stretched. Surgeons perform several specialized operations:
- Facelift (rhytidectomy) to treat sagging in the middle and lower face
- Cervical lifting to address neck sagging
- Blepharoplasty for eyelid correction
- Aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty
Functional rhinoplasty addresses both nasal appearance and breathing at the same time. Swelling typically improves over one to three weeks after facial surgery.
Breast and Body Contouring
Body shaping services include options for patients who have experienced major weight loss. Lipoabdominoplasty and miniabdominoplasty reshape the abdomen. Thigh and arm lifts remove excess skin and localized fat from the limbs.
Breast surgery covers both aesthetic and functional needs. For augmentations, specialists select silicone implants based on size, shape, and projection to fit individual proportions. The team also treats gynecomastia in men using liposuction, glandular tissue removal, or both.
Hair Restoration (FUE Technique)
The clinic uses the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method for hair restoration. This technique extracts individual follicles with a small-diameter punch. It avoids strip removal and prevents linear scarring. Grafts are stored in a specialized solution to maintain high survival rates.
FUE works for the scalp and for restoring facial hair, including beards and eyebrows. Implantation angles match the natural growth direction of each area. This attention to detail gives patients a natural final appearance.
Safety Protocols and Patient Services
Safety starts with individualized risk assessment and careful surgical planning. Every procedure requires a complete health evaluation and essential medical exams. The clinic provides a phased recovery approach with specific instructions for hygiene and activity restrictions.
Services for international patients include medical follow-up at every stage of care. The staff communicates in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Close postoperative monitoring is standard to support healthy healing and long-term results.
