Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring
The clinic specializes in Mommy Makeover procedures for physical changes after pregnancy. Each plan is tailored to tissue quality and patient anatomy. Surgeons often combine multiple operations in a single session:
- Abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and repair abdominal muscles
- Lipoaspiration and liposculpture for localized fat removal and body shaping
- Correction of diastasis recti (separation of the abdominal muscles)
- Lipoabdominoplasty, which combines liposuction with traditional tummy tucks
For patients after major weight changes, the team evaluates skin excess to choose the best contouring approach. Reconstructive services include scar correction and skin tumor removal.
Specialized Breast Surgery
The Mammology department offers both aesthetic and reconstructive breast procedures. Surgeons use cohesive-gel implants designed to eliminate routine replacement every decade. Available procedures include:
- Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without silicone implants
- Reduction mammaplasty to relieve discomfort from heavy breasts
- Hybrid mammaplasty combining implants with fat grafting for natural volume
- Breast reconstruction following cancer treatment or trauma
Post-operative care involves long-term monitoring and specific recovery protocols. Patients wear surgical bras and follow activity restrictions while tissue heals over several months.
Technology and Surgical Equipment
The clinic uses specific technologies to increase precision and reduce tissue trauma. For body sculpting, the team applies Vibrofit technology. This system uses mechanical vibration to detach fat cells more efficiently. Since the surgeon needs less manual force, bruising and swelling are typically reduced. Diagnostic tools include mammography and detailed planning sessions to match surgical options with patient goals.
Services for International Patients
The practice treats both local and international patients. Consultations are available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Because the clinic handles complex multi-area procedures, the team provides full surgical planning before arrival. Online consultations let patients discuss their medical history and expectations in advance. This way, international patients receive a preliminary evaluation and tailored plan before traveling to Rio de Janeiro.
