About the clinic

Breast capsulectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the scar tissue that forms around a breast implant. At Plenna Plastic Surgery in Florianópolis, Brazil, this treatment is performed by a specialized team following international quality standards. The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation and is known for its two-surgeon model and advanced recovery protocols.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

The surgical team at Plenna Plastic Surgery focuses on removing the capsule formed by the body around a breast implant. This is often necessary due to capsular contracture, implant rupture, or calcification. Patients can choose between two main options:

Total capsulectomy – where the surgeon removes the entire capsule.
En bloc capsulectomy – where the implant and the capsule are removed together as a single unit.

Surgeons may combine the removal with a mastopexy to lift the breast or fat grafting to restore lost volume. The clinic uses ultrasound during consultations to assess the condition of the implants and tissue before surgery starts.

The Two-Surgeon Model

Surgery at Plenna is performed by Dr. Eduardo Arnaut and Dr. Taís Saraceno together. This model allows both surgeons to combine their expertise during the same operation. Dr. Eduardo Arnaut is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and specializes in reconstructive breast surgery. Dr. Taís Saraceno is also a member of the SBCP and shares a focus on aesthetic breast procedures. Both doctors completed their residency at Hospital Brigadeiro in São Paulo.

Quick Recovery and Aftercare

The clinic uses a Quick Recovery protocol to help patients return to daily activities faster. This approach aims to lower pain levels and encourages early movement after the procedure. Most patients leave the hospital on the same day or after one night of stay. The care continues long after the surgery is over.

Unlimited follow-up visits for up to two years.
Laser therapy to help fade and manage surgical scars.
Nutritional and metabolic assessments to support healing.
Ongoing ultrasound monitoring to check the surgical results.

Support for International Patients

Plenna Plastic Surgery provides coordination for patients traveling to Florianópolis. The team offers online consultations to discuss the procedure before travel. They also assist with lodging support and provide a dedicated team to manage the treatment process.

Plenna plastic surgery: more details about the clinic

Brazil, Florianópolis

Plenna Plastic Surgery is a private clinic located in Florianópolis, Brazil. It operates from a single facility in the Centro neighborhood. The clinic focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures with a structured approach to patient journeys.

Specialized Care and Accreditations

The clinic follows a two-surgeon model where two specialists operate together on each patient. This joint approach combines over 20 years of shared surgical experience. The team includes Dr. Eduardo Arnaut and Dr. Taís Saraceno. Both surgeons are full members of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP).

Plenna holds the TEMOS accreditation, which focuses on quality in medical tourism and international patient care.

Advanced Breast and Body Surgery

Breast surgery is a primary focus of the clinic. The medical team uses a Quick Recovery protocol for breast implants. This method helps patients return to daily routines faster. Surgeons place implants below the gland or below the muscle based on individual anatomy.

The clinic provides several specialized breast procedures:

Breast lift (mastopexy) using the Autodefinição technique
Breast reduction surgery
Complete silicone implant removal (explant)
Breast capsulectomy to remove scar tissue around implants
Breast reshaping using the patient's own tissue or fat grafting

Body contouring procedures involve detailed metabolic and nutritional analysis before surgery. The team performs complex operations such as lipoabdominoplasty and Fleur De Lis tummy tucks. They also treat gynecomastia using VASER liposuction. This technology uses ultrasound energy to break down fat while sparing other tissues.

For mothers, the clinic offers a Mommy Makeover. This combines tummy tucks with breast surgeries in a single journey. Every body contouring plan starts with a functional assessment. This helps surgeons identify diastasis, excess skin, or localized fat before choosing a technique.

Recovery and Scar Management

Plenna uses a proprietary protocol for long-term recovery. Follow-up care lasts between 1 and 2 years, with unlimited return visits during this period. Surgeons use ultrasound equipment during consultations to monitor tissue healing internally.

Individualized scar management is a core part of the post-operative stage. The protocol includes topical treatments and laser therapy sessions when necessary. Specialists monitor scar evolution over several months. They adjust reviews based on how the tissue develops for each case.

Services for International Patients

The clinic organizes logistics for patients traveling from abroad or other parts of Brazil. Specialists offer online consultations to begin planning remotely. This allows patients to discuss goals before traveling to Florianópolis. The clinic staff provides support in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

Patients receive team-based support through a dedicated coordination group. This group includes nursing, physiotherapy, nutrition, and administration staff. The clinic also provides lodging support during the initial recovery phase.

The Clinic is an elegant and welcoming place. From my very first contact, through messages, the team treated me with great care and genuinely paid attention to my needs. They are all courteous and helpful. What really caught my attention was everyone’s dedication, with the success of making a dream come true—the breast prosthesis. From reception to billing, I have no words to express the gratitude I feel. And not to mention Dr. Tais—a sweetheart, an extremely talented professional who truly loves what she does. She makes every effort to clear up all doubts, always keeping herself available, welcoming concerns and nervousness. If you have any doubts about where to have your procedure, don’t—out of love and sincerity, I highly recommend Plenna. Thank you, girls, for everything. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽

It’s hard to put into words everything I went through from the first appointment to the post-surgery period, but I can say, with my heart full, that it was a life-changing experience. From the very beginning, I was welcomed with kindness, security, and professionalism. My thanks to Kim, May, Dr. Tais, Gisele, and nutritionist Bel, who were essential at every stage of this so special process. On the day of the surgery, I experienced a mix of calm, trust, and care in every detail. My special thanks to Dr. Eduardo and Dr. Tais for the impeccable work, carried out with excellence, dedication, and humanity. You turned a dream into reality. I will also keep with great affection the care Gabi gave me in the room, as well as all the attention devoted to my husband and my son—making this moment even lighter and more welcoming for our family. The video recorded by my husband will be an everlasting and emotional memory of my life. Even after discharge, I continue to be followed with attention and kindness. I’d also like to thank Isabeli from communications, who is always so delicate and attentive. Today I’m sure I made the best choice. I found an incredible team that cares not only for the body, but also for the heart. Gratitude for the kindness, the attention, and for making all of this unforgettable. With love, Regi 🌻😘

Dr. Eduardo is practically an angel in my life. I’ve been his patient for almost 10 years and I wouldn’t trade him for any other plastic surgeon. He is an extremely competent and kind doctor who has always attended to me with great care and professionalism in his office, and who has always answered all my questions whenever necessary. In short, I have nothing but praise for Dr. Eduardo and his entire team. I’m very grateful to have had my long-awaited surgery with one of the best professionals in the country. I only wish all doctors had 1/3 of his knowledge and sensitivity!

I’ve known the doctor’s work for many years and closely followed the entire process for my sister and my sister-in-law. I was there from the decision to have surgery, through the guidance, the post-operative period, and of course, the final result. What always stood out to me was the care taken with every detail, the seriousness of the guidance, and the individualized way each case is handled—always focused on safety and real results. Seeing how happy, confident, and satisfied they were throughout the whole process only reinforced my trust in the work that’s been done. It’s not just about aesthetics, but about follow-up, responsibility, and respect for each person. When this standard is maintained over the years, even within the same family, trust comes naturally.”

My mother-in-law had surgery with Dr. Eduardo, and I make a point of sharing our family’s experience. She underwent a nose reconstruction, and from the very beginning we were impressed by the security and calm that Dr. Eduardo conveyed. Everything was explained with great clarity, which made us confident at every stage of the process. The result is simply flawless. The reconstruction was done so well that it’s impossible to tell that surgery even took place. Her nose looks extremely natural, in perfect harmony with her face. Beyond the aesthetic outcome, the care my mother-in-law received is something that truly stood out. Attention, respect, close follow-up, and a human approach throughout the entire treatment. That made all the difference for her—and for all of us. Seeing my mother-in-law safe, confident, and satisfied with the result confirmed that she was in the right hands. Dr. Eduardo is an extremely competent, ethical, and caring professional. We are very grateful for the entire experience.

I loved the result of the breast prosthesis explant procedure performed by Dr. Eduardo. The team was also a 10—always very attentive and welcoming. I recommend Plenna Cirurgia Plástica!

As the husband of a patient of Dr. Eduardo, I would like to share our experience. From the very first consultation, we felt very confident in the way everything was explained. Dr. Eduardo, in addition to being very kind, was very patient in clarifying every detail about the surgery, the breast prosthesis, the care needed, the expected results, and above all, the reason behind each decision. This made all the difference for us. My wife’s surgery was a success. She was extremely happy with the result, but above all with all the care she received before, during, and after the surgery. The follow-up was very close, humane, and responsible, which brought a lot of peace of mind to our family. Today, after pregnancy, we’ve already discussed the possibility of another surgery, and we have no doubt it will be with Dr. Eduardo. The trust built over time is something that doesn’t get lost. I recommend him with my eyes closed. An extremely empathetic, competent, ethical professional who truly cares about his patients.

I’ve known Dr. Eduardo for many years and closely followed his professional journey. He has always been an extremely committed, meticulous, and detail-oriented doctor, both in his studies and in his day-to-day practice. What stands out most in his work is the seriousness with which he handles each appointment, the clear way he guides patients, and the care he takes to recommend only what truly makes sense for each case. He is a professional who values ethics, safety, and constant updating, which inspires a great deal of trust in anyone looking for responsible, well-conducted care.

Getting to know Dr. Eduardo’s work completely changes how we see plastic surgery. The care begins long before any procedure and goes far beyond technique. He explains everything clearly, guides with responsibility, and conveys impressive confidence from the very first contact. Everything is done with great care, respect, and attention to detail. You can tell from his experience and commitment to achieving natural, balanced results that are tailored to each patient’s body. The follow-up is close, present, and human—something that makes all the difference. He’s a professional who combines technique, seriousness, and sensitivity. A doctor you can trust, who truly cares about the well-being and satisfaction of everyone under his care.
