Abdominoplastia e Lipoaspiração em Lourenço Guimarães

Lourenço Guimarães is a private plastic surgery and aesthetics clinic in the Belvedere neighborhood of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The facility operates from a single building with separate units for surgical and non-surgical care. Dr. Lourenço Gontijo Guimarães leads the two-specialist medical team.

Accreditations and Safety Protocols

The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation, an international certification for quality and safety in medical tourism. Every procedure begins with a clinical-cardiological evaluation to assess surgical risk. Patients must follow specific pre-operative instructions:

• Stop anticoagulant or AAS-based medications 14 days before surgery.
• Abstain from smoking for at least 30 days before the procedure.
• Maintain a complete fast for 8 hours prior to any operation.
• Complete routine diagnostic exams to review health history.

These measures confirm the patient is ready for anesthesia and recovery. The surgical team manages post-operative care through scheduled follow-up visits for suture removal and tissue assessment.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Specialists perform body contouring and facial procedures using standard surgical techniques. For volume enhancement, the clinic offers gluteoplasty with silicone implants or autologous fat grafting. Most gluteal surgeries take about 2 hours and allow same-day discharge.

The clinic treats several conditions through surgery:

• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to remove localized fat and loose skin.
• Gynecomastia surgery to correct enlarged male breast tissue.
• Rhinoplasty for functional or aesthetic nose reshaping.
• Post-weight loss surgery to remove excess skin from the trunk and limbs.
• Intimate surgery to address aesthetic discomfort or physical pain.

For gynecomastia, surgeons often combine tissue excision with liposuction for better results. The clinic notes that final results for breast and nose surgeries often take 12 months to settle.

Aesthetic Medicine and Hair Restoration

Non-surgical treatments offer alternatives for skin rejuvenation and hair loss. Dr. Lourenço Guimarães manages alopecia cases by first identifying whether the cause is androgenic baldness or a temporary condition. When clinical treatments fall short, surgical hair transplantation is available.

The aesthetic department uses several injectable and skin-resurfacing methods:

• Botulinum toxin injections to target forehead lines and crow's feet.
• Facial dermal fillers using permanent, temporary, or semi-permanent materials.
• Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to stimulate tissue healing.
• Chemical peels and laser therapy for skin texture improvement.

Botox treatments take under 15 minutes, with results appearing within one week. For fillers, the clinic can use the patient's own fat as a permanent natural injectable.

Services for International Patients

International patients receive structured guidance in English and Spanish. This covers pre-operative evaluations and detailed medication instructions for recovery. Patient coordinators help bridge the gap between initial inquiry and follow-up care in the patient's native language.

Recovery planning includes same-day discharge for ambulatory procedures. Surgeries requiring longer observation, such as abdominoplasty, typically involve discharge the following day. The clinic provides specific guidelines for activity limits, including sleep positioning and when to resume exercise.
