Marcelo Portocarrero is a plastic surgery clinic in Salvador, Brazil. The practice focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures for the breasts, body, and face. It is a reference for the L-scar mammoplasty technique published in 2012. This method reduces visible scarring during breast reductions and lifts. The team also offers post-bariatric surgery to correct excess skin after weight loss.
Dr. Marcelo Portocarrero trained at the University of São Paulo. He holds certifications RQE 17475 and CRM 23552. The medical team includes two doctors who attend international scientific congresses. Their research has appeared in the Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery.
The clinic uses energy-based technologies to improve skin retraction and contouring. These include BodyTite, FaceTite, and Morpheus8 for non-surgical rejuvenation. Surgeons often pair them with liposuction to treat facial and body laxity. International patients can book telemedicine or in-person visits. Services are offered in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.
