Dr. Herbert Mendonça — plastic surgery

Dr. Herbert Mendonça is a specialized plastic surgery practice in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The clinic operates as a single-doctor facility focused on facial rejuvenation and body contouring. Dr. Herbert Mendonça leads the practice with nearly 30 years of surgical experience.

Advanced Body Contouring and Facial Rejuvenation

The clinic emphasizes individualized planning for every procedure to achieve natural results. Dr. Herbert Mendonça holds medical registration CRM 25.409 in Minas Gerais. The practice follows a patient-centered workflow with detailed recovery timelines and surgical-day updates.

Specialties and Surgical Methods

The practice focuses on three primary areas of plastic surgery. Each approach combines traditional techniques with modern technology to refine physical contours.

Facial Plastic Surgery

Dr. Mendonça performs facial procedures designed to restore expression without changing the patient's identity. The clinic often combines multiple techniques for facial symmetry and balance:

• Facelift for lifting sagging skin and deeper tissues
• Blepharoplasty to address excess skin around the eyelids
• Lip lift to shorten the space between the nose and mouth
• Silicone chin implants to refine the chin and jawline contour

Facial tissues typically settle around 4–6 months after surgery. The clinic provides a phased recovery plan to monitor tissue adaptation during this time.

Body Contouring and Liposuction

The clinic offers high-definition body sculpting to improve muscle visibility and skin adherence. Lipo HD removes fat while defining the underlying muscular structure. The practice often combines liposuction with gluteal fat grafting to enhance buttock shape and volume.

Abdominoplasty and mini-abdominoplasty are available for patients needing abdominal wall correction. Postoperative care includes a strict 30-day compression garment protocol and managed hydration.

Breast Surgery

Breast procedures at the clinic prioritize a defined neckline and natural breast shape. Dr. Mendonça performs mastopexy with silicone implants – a technique that lifts the breasts while adding volume. The clinic places implants via the areola border. This positions the scar in the lower half of the areola, making it more discreet.

Medical Technology

The clinic uses argon plasma energy in surgical workflows. This technology supports skin retraction in areas treated with liposuction.

• Argoplasma (Argon 4): This device delivers plasma energy through the same incisions used for liposuction.
• Tissue Contraction: The energy helps contract tissues between the skin and muscles.
• Collagen Stimulation: The system triggers progressive collagen production for long-term skin adherence.

Argoplasma can provide better skin retraction than traditional liposuction alone.

Services for International Patients

The practice treats patients from outside Brazil and offers a dedicated workflow for foreigners. Online consultations help international patients establish a treatment plan before traveling. The clinic team communicates in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.
