Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

The clinic specializes in body contouring for patients after significant weight loss. These procedures improve tissue tone when skin has lost elasticity. Surgeons use individualized techniques to address excess skin on the abdomen, arms, and thighs.

Breast procedures include both aesthetic and reconstructive pathways:

• Breast Augmentation: uses implants to improve breast volume and shape.
• Mamoplastia Redutora: removes excess glandular tissue and skin to reduce breast size.
• Mastopexy: lifts the breast to improve contour and position.
• Breast Reconstruction: restores shape and size following a mastectomy.

Reconstruction often involves multiple stages. Tissue expansion prepares the area for permanent implants. The clinic provides detailed safety data on silicone breast implant monitoring.

Body and facial contouring covers several areas:

• Abdominoplasty: reshapes the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat.
• Liposuction: removes localized fat via vacuum suction through small incisions.
• Ginecomastia surgery: corrects enlarged male breast glands through tissue removal or liposuction.
• Brachioplasty: reduces excess skin between the armpit and the elbow.

Facial surgeries include rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, and otoplasty (ear surgery). These procedures take place in authorized surgical centers equipped for emergency support.

Aesthetic Medicine and Technology

Non-surgical treatments are available for facial rejuvenation and scar management. The clinic uses laser resurfacing to reduce wrinkles and spots. This technology also treats keloid scars by smoothing skin texture.

Injectable options include Botox to temporarily smooth expression lines and forehead wrinkles. Dermal fillers add lip volume or soften facial folds. Chemical peels improve superficial skin texture.

Patient Safety and International Services

Safety protocols include a pre-operative checklist before any incision. This covers anesthesia plans, surgical materials, and detailed patient photos. Major surgeries take place in hospitals with intensive care support and specialist teams.

The clinic provides services in three languages:

• English
• Spanish
• Portuguese

Patients must avoid smoking for 30 days before surgery. They also receive guidance on wound care and compression garments. Post-operative recovery plans include scheduled follow-up visits to monitor healing.
