Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring
Clinique Plast offers surgical interventions for the face, breasts, and body. Each patient receives a personalized assessment to determine the most effective technique. The clinic provides several body contouring options:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) – conventional and mini methods
- Lipo HD – high-definition refinement of traditional liposuction
- Liposuction for localized fat in areas like the legs and belly
- Mommy makeover and post-bariatric body contouring
- Gluteal implants and arm lift (brachioplasty)
Tummy tuck procedures typically last 2 to 4 hours. Before surgery, patients undergo ultrasonography and laboratory tests. Post-operative care for liposuction includes wearing a compression garment for one month.
Facial Surgery and Chin Correction
The clinic performs specialized facial procedures to improve symmetry and contour. Mentoplasty, or chin correction, is a notable specialty for both augmentation and reduction. For chin reduction, the surgeon adjusts the jawbone and secures it with surgical plates and screws. This procedure takes about 1 to 2 hours under general anesthesia.
Other facial surgeries available include:
- Rhinoplasty and non-surgical rhinomodeling
- Otoplasty for ear correction
- Blepharoplasty for eyelid rejuvenation
- Facelift and forehead contouring
Specialists evaluate the patient's bite position before chin surgery. If needed, they may combine the procedure with orthognathic surgery for functional alignment.
Breast Reconstruction and Aesthetics
Breast procedures at Clinique Plast cover both aesthetic enhancement and reconstructive needs. The clinic uses diverse techniques to achieve desired shapes and volumes. These include mastopexy with implants and a specialized muscular sling technique for internal support.
Available breast treatments include:
- Breast reduction and lifting (mastopexy)
- Breast augmentation with implants
- Breast reconstruction following medical necessity
- Gynecomastia treatment for male patients
Gynecomastia care addresses three severity levels, from minor growth to significant sagging. Post-operative instructions include avoiding strenuous arm movements for 30 days.
Hair Restoration Techniques
Hair transplantation is a flagship service at Clinique Plast for treating baldness and hair loss. The clinic offers both FUE and FUT techniques. Specialists also perform follicular unit grafts, micro-grafts, and mini-grafts depending on the patient's condition.
Services for International Patients
The clinic provides support through the entire treatment process with step-by-step guidance. Staff communicate in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Every surgical plan includes personalized follow-up to manage recovery expectations.
