Dr. Guilherme Cravo – plastic surgery is a single-doctor practice established in 2021. The clinic is in the Ipanema district of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures.
Accreditations and Surgeon Background
The practice is accredited by the SBCP and ISAPS. Dr. Guilherme Cravo leads the surgical team of three doctors.
Dr. Cravo trained at the school of Professor Ivo Pitanguy. This is one of the most recognized training centers for plastic surgeons globally. He holds SBCP board certification.
Facial Rejuvenation and Aesthetics
The clinic offers surgical and non-surgical options for facial harmony. Surgeons perform facelifts and blepharoplasty to address signs of aging. Rhinoplasty is available for both reshaping and breathing correction.
Facial contouring techniques include:
- Fat grafting – uses the patient's own fat to restore volume and soften deep wrinkles.
- Double chin liposuction – an outpatient procedure to remove fat deposits under the chin.
- Otoplasty – corrects ear shape through incisions behind the ear to avoid visible scarring.
- Facial fillers – uses hyaluronic acid with results lasting 7 to 16 months.
Otoplasty is also available for children starting around age six. This helps them avoid the psychological impact of ear defects during school years.
Body Contouring and Reconstructive Surgery
The facility offers a broad range of body-shaping procedures. Abdominoplasty typically requires a 15-day recovery before returning to regular activities. Gluteoplasty options include implants and the Brazilian Butt Lift technique.
Breast surgeries are a primary focus:
- Breast augmentation with implants
- Breast reduction for physical comfort
- Mastopexy to lift and reshape the breasts
- Liposculpture for excess fat removal
The clinic also provides reparative plastic surgery. This covers skin tumors, burns, and scars to restore function and appearance.
International Patient Services
The clinic treats international patients seeking rejuvenation and body contouring in Brazil. Staff assist in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, so communication stays clear throughout treatment planning.
Most facial injections and minor liposuctions are outpatient procedures. If a patient combines multiple surgeries, an overnight stay may be recommended. Stitches for procedures like otoplasty come out within 15 days.
