Dr. André Maranhão – Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Treatments is a private medical practice in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The clinic operates across two locations in the Ipanema and Tijuca neighborhoods. This specialized center combines surgical expertise with non-invasive aesthetic technologies.
Professional Accreditations and Expertise
The clinic is led by Dr. André Maranhão, a plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience. He is the Scientific General Director of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). The practice holds several international and national certifications:
- Member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS)
- Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
- Accreditation by TEMOS International
- Oversight from the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA)
All surgical procedures take place in a hospital setting with continuous vital sign monitoring. Dr. Maranhão completed his surgical residency at Hospital Pedro Ernesto. He then specialized at the National Cancer Institute (INCA).
Body Contouring and Breast Surgery
Body contouring procedures involve selective fat removal and skin tightening. Liposuction uses delicate cannulas and strategic incisions. For abdominal contouring, the clinic offers classic abdominoplasty. This can be combined with liposuction to address localized fat deposits. Post-bariatric patients can access brachioplasty (arm lift) to remove excess tissue from the upper arm.
Breast surgeries include reduction, pexy (lifting), and augmentation with implants. Surgeons remove excess glands and skin to create lighter, firmer breasts. Mammaplasty typically involves a 24-hour hospital stay. Recovery spans about 30 days. Patients return to light activities after two weeks.
The clinic also provides specialized intimate surgeries and gynecomastia correction. Small cases of male breast enlargement are treated via a half-moon incision. Larger cases require a combination of liposuction and skin reduction.
Facial Aesthetics and Skin Renewal
Facial rejuvenation treatments range from surgical face lifts to non-invasive lifting. The clinic uses MD Codes, a structured technique for hyaluronic acid fillers. These injections restore facial volume and soften deep lines without surgical cuts. Lip filler results are visible immediately, though minor swelling is expected for 72 hours.
Non-surgical skin tightening options include:
- Sutura Silhouette – absorbable threads that stimulate collagen for up to 18 months
- Ultherapy – micro-focused ultrasound for lifting the face, neck, and chest
- Laser Hybrid CO2 – a system targeting both surface and deep skin layers
- Botulinum toxin injections for expression wrinkles and lip flips
Ultherapy is FDA-approved and used in over 70 countries. The Laser Hybrid CO2 technology promotes collagen remodeling to improve overall skin texture.
Advanced Medical Technologies
The clinic uses specific platforms to enhance aesthetic outcomes. Ulthera technology allows non-invasive lifting by targeting deep tissue layers. The Laser Hybrid CO2 system combines different laser depths to treat acne scars and deep wrinkles. For thread lifting, poly-lactic acid sutures provide a mechanical lift while triggering natural collagen production.
International Patient Support
The clinic provides medical consultations and coordination for international visitors. The administrative team manages documentation and health plan support. Support is available in several languages:
- Portuguese
- English
- Spanish
Post-operative care includes detailed hygiene instructions and manual physiotherapy. Patients receive specific protocols for wound care and compression garment use. Follow-up visits track scar development and overall healing.
