Keloid scars Treatment in Plastic surgery (Dr. Gustavo R. Moreno)

About the clinic

Treatment for keloid scars at Arte Cirúrgica is available in Brasília and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Dr. Gustavo Rincón Moreno leads the clinic with over 20 years of experience in reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery. The clinic is known for using a multi-modal approach to reduce the high risk of scar regrowth.

Advanced treatment methods

Dr. Gustavo Rincón Moreno performs surgeries at high-level facilities like Hospital DF-Star, which includes an ICU for patient safety. He is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. The clinic uses a combination of techniques to manage abnormal scar tissue effectively.

  • Combined surgical and clinical treatment. This involves removing the scar tissue surgically. It is paired with other therapies to stop the keloid from returning.
  • Betatherapy radiation. This adjuvant therapy is used after surgery. It significantly lowers the chance of recurrence for keloid and hypertrophic scars.
  • Corticosteroid injections. These intralesional infiltrations help reduce inflammation. They also help flatten the height of the scar.
  • Preventive care and compression. Patients use silicone sheets and compression garments. This step is essential to minimize scarring during the healing process.

Expertise of Dr. Gustavo Rincón Moreno

Dr. Gustavo Rincón Moreno received his training at the prestigious Instituto Ivo Pitanguy. This background provides him with deep expertise in complex skin reconstruction. He works with a team that speaks English, Portuguese, and Spanish to help international patients. Every treatment plan is tailored to the size and location of the keloid.

What is included in the treatment plan

The clinic focuses on a long-term care strategy rather than just a single procedure. A typical treatment plan includes several components to help the skin heal smoothly.

  • Surgical excision of the existing keloid scar tissue
  • Corticosteroid injections delivered directly into the site
  • Post-surgery betatherapy radiation sessions
  • Compression therapy and silicone sheets for home use
  • Instruction on sun protection to prevent darkening of the scar

To receive a personalized plan for keloid removal, you may request a consultation through Bookimed.

Plastic surgery (Dr. Gustavo R. Moreno): more details about the clinic

Brazil, Brasilia

Arte Cirúrgica is a private plastic surgery practice in Brazil. The clinic has branches in Brasília and Rio de Janeiro. It provides aesthetic and reconstructive surgery under Dr. Gustavo R. Moreno. The team focuses on natural results by balancing medical science with an artistic approach to facial and body harmony.

Safety Standards and Accreditations

The clinic follows a strict safety policy for major operations. Medium and large surgeries take place only in full-service hospitals. In Brasília, procedures happen at Hospital DF-Star. This facility provides advanced infrastructure for surgical care:

  • Fully equipped operating center
  • Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
  • 24-hour medical staffing and specialized nursing
  • Advanced sterilization standards

Dr. Gustavo R. Moreno is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. He also meets the professional requirements of the Federal Council of Medicine. The clinic provides detailed materials on healing timelines and surgical risks.

Aesthetic and Reconstructive Specialties

The clinic offers a broad range of surgical options for the face and body. Specialists use video-endoscopic techniques for facial rejuvenation. This method lifts the face without traditional large incisions. Key procedures include:

  • Facial lifting (classic, endoscopic, and mixed variants)
  • Rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
  • Abdominoplasty and liposuction using VASER technology
  • Breast augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy
  • Treatment for gynecomastia (male breast reduction)

Reconstructive surgery is a major focus of the practice. Dr. Moreno manages complex cases including skin tumor removals and thoracic reconstructions. The team also treats major tissue loss from trauma or pressure ulcers.

For patients with keloid or hypertrophic scars, the clinic combines surgical and clinical treatments. These include corticosteroid injections and post-surgery betatherapy radiation to prevent scar regrowth.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Arte Cirúrgica offers breast augmentation with fat transfer. This procedure uses the patient's own fat harvested via liposuction. Surgeons inject the fat through inter-crossed tunnels. This gives a natural alternative to silicone implants.

For male patients, the clinic performs pectoral augmentation using FDA-approved soft silicone implants. Surgeons typically use a transaxillary incision to place the implants. This hides scars within the armpit area. The implants stay stationary and don't interfere with natural muscle movement.

Medical Team Background

Dr. Gustavo R. Moreno leads the medical team at Arte Cirúrgica. He completed his general surgery residency at Hospital da Santa Casa da Misericórdia in Rio de Janeiro. He then specialized in plastic surgery at Hospital Municipal Barata Ribeiro.

Dr. Moreno also trained at the Instituto Yvo Pitanguy, one of the most prestigious plastic surgery institutions globally. His background in cardiovascular surgery helps him manage complex reconstructive cases.

International Patient Services

The clinic treats international patients with structured support. Staff speak Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Services include:

  • Detailed pre-operative and post-operative guidance
  • Information on recovery expectations and healing timelines
  • Online consultation options for initial surgical planning
  • Assistance with five-star hotel-like facilities at Hospital DF-Star

Patients receive specific instructions on medication and fasting before arrival. The clinic coordinates follow-up visits for dressing changes and monitoring. Final discharge typically happens between three months and one year after the procedure.

Dr. Gustavo! On 15/05/2008 at Hospital Santa Marta, I had the privilege of undergoing surgery (umbilical hernia) with this excellent professional. It was perfect. I recommend him to everyone who needs a plastic surgeon. Very grateful.

Excellent professional and team. I underwent lipo, fat grafting, and arm lipo. The techniques used were laser lipo, vibro lipo, and traditional lipo. For the arms, laser was used and the cuts were tiny—highly recommended.

I underwent two major procedures with Dr. Gustavo Moreno: video-assisted lifting of the upper and middle third and lifting of the neck; breast lift and implant exchange. The results were ten years younger, lots of compliments, and my self-esteem is through the roof!!!!!
