### Specialties and Surgical MethodsThe clinic offers specialized care across multiple areas of plastic surgery. Dr. Carneiro creates treatment plans tailored to each patient's natural features.
Body Contouring and Liposuction
Dr. Carneiro performs
Lipo de Definição – high-definition liposculpture. This method removes localized fat to enhance muscle definition, not for weight loss. The procedure uses local-regional or general anesthesia. Patients should avoid physical effort for at least six days after surgery.
Breast Surgery
The clinic offers breast augmentation and lifts to improve volume, shape, and symmetry. Dr. Carneiro uses local or general anesthesia depending on the case. Recovery follows a structured schedule. The team monitors patients at 15, 30, and 40 days after surgery to ensure safety.
Facial Rejuvenation and Rhinoplasty
Facial procedures address both structure and skin quality. Dr. Carneiro performs
Deep Plane and Deep Neck lifts for long-lasting results. Rhinoplasty adjusts nose size or proportion and can improve breathing in some cases. Blepharoplasty removes excess skin or fat from the eyelids. Recovery takes 3–7 days.
Intimate Surgery
The clinic provides intimate surgery for female patients. Common procedures include:
- Nymphoplasty (reshaping the labia minora)
- Clitoral hood reduction
- Vaginal rejuvenation
### Treatment TechnologiesThe practice combines surgical techniques with non-surgical options. Facial protocols often include
hyaluronic acid fillers, collagen bio-stimulators, and botulinum toxin. For intimate rejuvenation, the clinic uses laser, radiofrequency, and bio-stimulators to improve tissue quality without surgery.### Services for International PatientsThe clinic supports patients traveling to Rio de Janeiro. Coordinators offer assistance in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.Structured postoperative care is central to the international service.
