Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery

Clinical Director Dr. Nuno Fradinho leads the surgical department. He completed training placements in Tokyo, Paris, and Rio de Janeiro. The team focuses on breast, face, and body contouring procedures.

A central feature of the surgical workflow is Crisalix 3D simulation. Patients can visualize potential results before their procedure. Surgeons film the patient from multiple angles and manipulate the 3D images during the consultation. The process takes about 10 minutes and helps in selecting implant sizes or techniques.

The clinic offers a variety of breast and body procedures:

• Breast Augmentation: Options include silicone implants or lipofilling using the patient's own fat.
• Breast Reduction: Surgery to reshape and reduce breast volume for physical comfort.
• Mommy Makeover: Combined procedures to restore the body after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Vaser Liposuction: Ultrasound-assisted fat removal for precise body sculpting.
• Facelift Variants: Mini lifts, mid lifts, and endoscopic facial surgery.
• Gynecomastia Treatment: Correction of enlarged male breast tissue through mastectomy or liposuction.

For breast augmentation, the clinic uses diverse implant technologies. Options include round or anatomical shapes and lightweight B-lite implants, which weigh 30% less than standard silicone. Most breast surgeries are ambulatory. Patients typically go home 6 to 8 hours after the operation.

Clinical Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine

Dr. Sofia Borges coordinates the My Skin and Laser Lab division. This unit treats chronic skin conditions and provides non-surgical rejuvenation. Dr. Borges speaks at international scientific meetings and has published research in global medical journals.

The dermatology team manages inflammatory and aesthetic skin concerns:

• Chronic Conditions: Diagnosis and long-term monitoring for psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis.
• Facial Concerns: Targeted treatments for acne, rosacea, and melasma.
• Laser Therapy: Nd:YAG and Fractional CO2 lasers for skin resurfacing and rejuvenation.
• Body Contouring: Non-invasive fat reduction using Exilis and Vanquish technologies.

A dedicated trichology service treats hair and scalp disorders. For rosacea, the clinic uses Nd:YAG laser technology to reduce redness and visible vessels.

Technology and Treatment Safety

MyMoment follows strict preoperative protocols. Patients must submit exam results 15 days before surgery to confirm viability and plan anesthesia. The clinic uses Fotona 4D technology, which combines Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers for multi-layer skin tightening.

Consultations and minor aesthetic treatments happen on-site. Major surgeries take place in licensed external operating blocks that meet strict health requirements. After surgery, patients receive two post-operative training sessions through a partnership with REVO. These help them safely return to physical activity.

Services for International Patients

The clinic supports patients traveling from abroad. Remote case support helps visitors understand their procedures before arrival. Coordination is available in Portuguese and English.

International patient services include:

• Video Consultations: Direct video calls with surgeons for initial evaluations and planning.
• Remote Support: A dedicated "Apoio à Distância" service for questions before surgery.
• Pre-Surgical Guidance: Remote review of medical exams and laboratory tests.

Patients can access their 3D simulation results through an exclusive mobile app. This lets them review their treatment plan and forecast results from home.
