Marcelo Frazão

With 14+ years dedicated exclusively to plastic surgery, Marcelo Frazão builds his practice around one idea: confidence comes from transparency, technique, and genuine care. He is a specialist at the clinic, focusing on body contouring and post-bariatric reconstructive surgery for patients who need more than a “cosmetic” change. In his approach, the decision is individualized after a clinical evaluation—whether the goal is refining contours or planning staged procedures after bariatric weight loss. His work also includes minimally invasive aesthetic options such as Botox and dermal filling with hyaluronic acid.

Clinical focus and techniques

Marcelo Frazão’s consultation is presented as a no-pressure conversation focused on options for each case, including when to choose a procedure and when to wait. He performs a defined set of surgical and minimally invasive treatments, with special attention to body contouring after major weight loss.

• Cruroplasty (thigh lift) — discussed as commonly combined with brachioplasty in the same surgical act for post-bariatric patients.
• Brachioplasty (arm lift) — evaluated for timing based on skin condition and surgical readiness.
• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) — positioned as different from liposuction, targeting excess skin and correcting diastasis.
• Liposuction (body contouring) — described as reshaping localized fat rather than weight loss.
• Otoplasty (ear surgery) — described as a definitive result after cartilage is reshaped and fixed with dissolving internal sutures.
• Blepharoplasty (eyelid correction) — approached with a functional indication when excess upper eyelid skin limits the visual field.
• Facelift (face-lifting) — described as lasting 7–10 years, with incisions placed in strategic facial folds.
• Mastopexy with breast implant (breast lift with implant) — scar patterns described for different techniques (including “lollipop” and “anchor”).
• Breast reduction — discussed with attention to temporary changes in nipple sensitivity and modern technique goals.
• Post-bariatric plastic surgery (reparative surgery after bariatric weight loss) — planned as sessions for multiple regions when needed.
• Botox (botulinum toxin) — described as temporary, typically lasting 4–6 months.
• Dermal filling (hyaluronic acid) — offered as a minimally invasive option in the office setting.
