Dr. Hilário Santos do Carmo

Dr. Hilário Santos do Carmo runs a private plastic surgery practice in Curitiba, Paraná. The clinic operates across three buildings and offers both aesthetic and reconstructive services. All surgeries take place in fully equipped hospitals with ICU access and dedicated anesthesiology teams.

Accreditations and Expertise

The practice is accredited by TEMOS and the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). These certifications reflect strict safety and medical standards.

Dr. Hilário Santos do Carmo leads the medical team. He earned his medical degree at the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná and specializes in body contouring and facial rejuvenation. His work covers several areas:

• Plastic Surgery
• Aesthetic Medicine and Cosmetology
• Otorhinolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat)
• Ophthalmology (specifically eyelid surgery)

Body and Breast Contouring

The clinic performs several procedures to restore or enhance body proportions. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) helps patients with excess skin after major weight loss. The procedure takes 3–5 hours and requires a 24-hour hospital stay. Surgeons remove localized fat and tighten loose abdominal tissue.

Breast procedures address both aesthetic goals and functional reconstruction:

• Mammaplasty reduction – surgery lasts 2–4 hours with a 1–2 day stay.
• Mastopexy – a breast lift often combined with silicone implants.
• Breast reconstruction – for recovery after cancer treatment.
• Liposculpture – body contouring that lasts 1–4 hours with a 24-hour stay.

Gluteal enhancement uses silicone prostheses. This surgery takes about 90 minutes and requires 24–48 hours of hospitalization. Final results for body and breast surgeries appear between 4 and 6 months post-procedure.

Facial Aesthetics and Non-Surgical Care

Facial procedures include both structural changes and minimally invasive treatments. Rhinoplasty adjusts nasal anatomy – reducing a dorsal hump or correcting the nasal angle. The operation lasts 1–3 hours. Otoplasty corrects prominent ears by removing excess cartilage and repositioning the ear closer to the skull.

For patients seeking non-surgical options, the clinic offers injectable treatments:

• Botox – softens forehead lines, glabella wrinkles, and lines around the eyes.
• Hyaluronic acid fillers – treats deep movement-related facial lines.
• Non-surgical nose correction – refines nasal shape with fillers.

Botox effects begin within 2–5 days and last 4–6 months. These injectables are the only procedures done at the clinic rather than in a hospital.

Patient Safety and Recovery Support

All patients complete a full clinical check-up before surgery. Pre-operative exams are typically finished within three weeks of the first consultation. This confirms the patient is cleared for anesthesia. Most patients recover in a specialized post-surgical room without an extended hospital stay.

The clinic provides structured recovery guidance:

• Prescription of necessary recovery medications
• Guidance on compression garments
• Lymphatic drainage sessions to reduce swelling
• Help managing bruising or edema

International patients can communicate in Portuguese, English, or Spanish. The team coordinates response times and treatment planning around travel schedules.
