Lipoescultura em clinic Varela

Clinic Varela is a private plastic surgery center in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. The facility has two specialized departments in a single building. It focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, especially for patients who have completed obesity treatments.

Surgical Expertise and Post-Bariatric Care

The clinic provides specialized care for patients who need body recontouring after major weight loss. Surgeons manage care from the initial consultation through the full post-operative period. The medical team consists of two plastic surgeons: Dr. Victor Varela and Dr. Daniella Varela.

Dr. Daniella Varela trained at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora. She completed a two-year general surgery residency at Hospital da Lagoa, followed by a three-year plastic surgery residency at Hospital Municipal Barata Ribeiro. Dr. Victor Varela earned his medical degree from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

Body Contouring and Reconstructive Procedures

Surgeons perform a wide range of body-shaping operations. They specialize in techniques for large amounts of sagging skin and localized fat. The clinic offers several signature procedures:

• Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) – removes excess skin from the abdomen and sides using anchor or 360-degree techniques.
• Liposuction – follows safety limits where removed volume does not exceed 7% of total body weight.
• Torsoplasty – addresses excess skin across the entire torso with scars designed for concealment by swimwear.
• Brachioplasty and Thigh Lift – removes sagging tissue from the inner arms and thighs.
• Gluteoplasty – buttock augmentation using fat grafting, dermofat flaps, or silicone implants.

Surgeons often combine these procedures for more complete body contouring results. Torsoplasty, for example, is frequently performed alongside mammoplasty and liposuction.

Advanced Breast Surgery and Facial Harmonization

The clinic offers mammoplasty variants to adjust breast shape, size, and position. Options include breast lifts, augmentations, and reductions. Surgeons use diverse scar techniques, including the inverted T and J-scar methods. Implants are optional even during breast size reductions.

Facial rejuvenation services include both surgical and non-surgical options. Surgeons perform blepharoplasty to correct drooping eyelids. For non-surgical facial harmonization, the clinic provides:

• Botulinum toxin injections
• Collagen biostimulators
• Hyaluronic acid fillers
• Ultrasound-based skin tightening

Treatment plans for the face are tailored to skin elasticity and each patient's goals.

Medical Technologies

The clinic uses specific platforms to improve surgical outcomes and skin quality. Laser and Renuvion technologies support liposuction procedures. These tools help skin retract and stimulate collagen production. Ultrasound technologies are also available for non-invasive facial treatments.

Services for International Patients

Clinic Varela offers a structured experience for patients traveling from abroad. The facility provides Portuguese guidance and Spanish communication support. The team arranges services for international visitors to assist with travel needs. After surgery, patients receive prescriptions for antibiotics and analgesics. They also get guidance on using post-surgical compression garments and bras for up to three months.
