Plastic Surgery Specialties
The practice covers a broad range of surgical aesthetic and reconstructive needs. For body contouring, the clinic performs lipoaspiration and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). Surgeons can combine these to tighten abdominal muscles while removing excess fat.
Breast and Facial Procedures
Breast surgery options include augmentation, reduction, and reconstruction guidance. For augmentation, the clinic uses cohesive silicone gel or saline implants. Facial procedures include lifting (ritidoplastia), eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), rhinoplasty, and otoplasty.
Specialized Implants and Intimate Surgery
The clinic offers volume enhancement for areas beyond the breasts and face:
- Gluteal implants placed within the muscle
- Calf implants to correct genetic anomalies or paralysis effects
- Pectoral implants for male chest contouring
- Treatment for gynecomastia (enlarged male breast tissue)
Intimate plastic surgery is also available. This includes labiaplasty and augmentation of the labia majora using hyaluronic acid fillers.
Safety and Diagnostic Protocols
Patient safety begins weeks before surgery. The pre-operative workflow manages risks and supports better healing. Mandatory steps include:
- Review of medications that may increase bleeding risk
- Smoking cessation at least six weeks before surgery
- Individualized clinical and cardiological evaluations
- Specific antiseptic bathing and fasting instructions
The clinic uses mammography for baseline breast health evaluations before and after surgery. MRI is available when detailed imaging is needed for accurate surgical planning.
International Patient Services
The practice supports international patients in three languages. Dr. Frederico Vasconcelos and staff offer consultations in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Patients should arrange an accompanying person and transport before arrival for their recovery period.
