Ivo Pitanguy — طبيب في البرازيل

With a career shaped by the Service of Professor Ivo Pitanguy at PUC-Rio, Ivo Pitanguy’s plastic surgery path is anchored in hands-on surgical training and teaching. As a specialist at the clinic, his formation includes General Surgery at Hospital Universitário Clementino Fraga Filho (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) and Plastic Surgery training at PUC-Rio. He also completed residency/shift work as a resident on duty at the Ivo Pitanguy Clinic in Botafogo. Later, he returned to the same academic line as an assistant professor of Plastic Surgery at PUC-Rio. Alongside clinical work, his profile includes contributions to specialist education: he is a co-editor of the Plastic Surgery textbook “Plastic Surgery for Specialist Training.” For patients considering surgery such as facelift and breast augmentation, this combination—specialized training within the Pitanguy service and experience supporting the professor’s private clinic—adds depth to the consultation process. The clinic’s surgical environment is designed for safety, with procedures performed at Hospital Procardíaco in Rio de Janeiro, which operates a 24-hour surgical center and intensive care unit.
