Specialties and Surgical Procedures
The clinic offers a wide range of body contouring and breast surgeries. Surgeons perform traditional liposuction to remove localized fat from the abdomen, back, thighs, and arms. For facial refinement, the team offers Double Chin Liposuction, which typically takes about 60 minutes.
Breast procedures are a core specialty. The surgical options include:
- Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without implants
- Breast augmentation and reduction
- Breast implant removal (explant surgery)
- Gynecomastia surgery to treat male breast enlargement
For patients seeking multiple improvements, the clinic offers the Mommy Makeover. This combines abdominoplasty, breast surgery, and liposuction in one session. Surgeons plan these procedures to stay within a safe six-hour timeframe. Patients typically stay in the hospital for 24 hours and can return to work in two weeks.
The clinic also treats functional and aesthetic ear concerns through otoplasty. This procedure corrects protruding ears and congenital defects. Surgeons also perform ninfoplastia (intimate feminine surgery) and blepharoplasty for eyelid rejuvenation.
Advanced Skin Tightening Technologies
The practice uses radiofrequency technologies to address skin laxity. These tools are often combined with surgery to improve firmness without large incisions. Retraction technology uses monopolar radiofrequency to stimulate collagen. This helps emulsify fat while tightening skin over a six-month period.
The clinic uses two other primary platforms for tissue remodeling:
- BodyTite: Uses radiofrequency-assisted lipocoagulation to liquefy fat and firm the skin.
- Morpheus: A micro-needle radiofrequency tool that improves skin quality on the face and body.
These technologies allow more precise body contouring by targeting tissue under the skin. The choice depends on a patient's skin quality and degree of sagging. For some facial fat concerns, the clinic also offers Ultraformer as a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
International Patient Services
The clinic has a dedicated pathway for patients traveling from other countries. Online consultations are available for initial evaluations, so patients can start their journey from home. This remote step helps define the surgical plan before arrival in Brazil.
To support recovery, the clinic provides a surgical compression garment kit for early postoperative care. The team offers detailed guidance on fasting, medication use, and arrival timing. Every patient undergoes a full medical risk assessment before any procedure. The clinic is fully accessible and offers on-site parking.
