Dr. Marcelo Pontes is a plastic and reconstructive surgery practice in Brasília, Brazil. The clinic focuses on facial rejuvenation, body contouring, and post-bariatric reconstruction. A key focus is natural-looking facial work using Deep Plane Lift and Deep Neck techniques. The team also treats complex conditions like gynecomastia and lymphostasis.
The practice uses advanced technologies, including Morpheus 8 and DEKA CO2 lasers. For body contouring, the clinic applies Liposound, vibrolipo, and argoplasma systems. These tools help reduce pain, bleeding, and swelling while improving skin retraction. Dr. Pontes also joins humanitarian reconstructive surgery for victims of domestic violence.
The medical team includes two specialized surgeons. They focus on careful planning and close patient follow-up. International patients get support in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
