Dr. Júlia Melo – plastic surgeon (Belo Horizonte) Mons Pubis липосакциясы

Dr. Júlia Melo operates a private plastic surgery clinic in Belo Horizonte. The facility is located in the Lourdes neighborhood. This single-specialty practice focuses on breast surgery, body contouring, and female intimate procedures. Dr. Júlia Melo leads the clinic as the primary surgeon.

Certifications and Expertise

The clinic holds accreditations from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and TEMOS. Dr. Júlia Melo is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). She completed her medical training at the Federal University of Minas Gerais. Her residency in general surgery took place at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, and she specialized in plastic surgery at Santa Casa de Belo Horizonte.

Dr. Júlia Melo was one of the first physicians certified in the R24R rapid recovery protocol. She completed this training in August 2020. Since then, she has applied the technique for hundreds of patients. The protocol minimizes surgical trauma and speeds up postoperative autonomy.

Specialized Breast Procedures

The clinic specializes in breast augmentation using the R24R protocol. This approach combines 3D planning with precise implant selection based on the patient's biotype. Surgeons cauterize vessels before they bleed, which reduces internal trauma. A modern anesthesia method prevents postoperative nausea or a "hangover" effect.

Patients following the R24R protocol typically reach specific recovery milestones quickly:

• Walking is permitted 24 hours after surgery
• Driving is allowed within the first 24 hours
• Everyday autonomy is resumed within one day
• Full healing and activity return follow a structured timeline

The clinic uses diverse implant options from the Motiva platform. Available shapes include round, conical, and anatomical profiles. Patients can choose from various surfaces, such as SmoothSilk Ergonomix2 or ProgressiveGel Ultima. For sagging breasts, Dr. Melo performs mastopexy using lollipop or anchor-shaped incisions depending on the skin quantity.

Body Contouring and Intimate Surgery

Body contouring services include several techniques to refine the silhouette. The clinic offers tummy tucks, fat grafting, and laser-assisted liposuction. Specialists also perform pubic liposuction to remove localized fat from the mons pubis area. This procedure is often combined with other contouring treatments based on individual needs.

Female intimate surgery is a core focus, specifically labia reduction. Dr. Melo uses two main surgical methods:

• Longitudinal method for a continuous incision along the border
• Wedge method for a shorter transversal scar
• High-frequency electrosurgery for precise tissue coagulation

For these procedures, the clinic uses the Wavetronic 7000 Pulsed device. This technology allows for controlled incisions and bleeding management. Patients can generally return to regular activities 72 hours after the procedure. Full skin healing in this delicate region typically takes several months.

Technologies and Diagnostic Tools

Accurate planning is central to the clinic's surgical approach. Every patient undergoes 3D imaging evaluations during the initial consultation. This technology helps visualize potential outcomes and select the correct implant volume. The medical team uses these digital models to create a personalized surgical plan for every case.

Services for International Patients

The clinic supports international patients through multiple communication channels. Video consultations have been available since 2020 for remote treatment planning. The coordination team provides services in three languages:

• Portuguese
• English
• Spanish

Postoperative care includes close medical monitoring and detailed recovery instructions. Patients receive sterile impermeable dressings that allow for showering on the same day as surgery. The medical team also provides guidance on lymphatic drainage exercises and medication schedules to manage comfort during recovery.
