Accreditations and Professional Recognition

Dr. Marcelo Pontes holds medical registrations CRM-DF 10225 and RQE 3243. The team partners with the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery for reconstructive procedures. The clinic also contributes to reconstructive surgery for women who are victims of domestic violence.

Specialties and Surgical Procedures

The practice covers several key areas of plastic and reconstructive surgery:

• Facial Rejuvenation: Deep Plane Facelift and Deep Neck techniques restore facial contours with natural-looking results.
• Body Contouring: Technology-assisted liposuction and liposculpture address areas like the male abdomen and triceps.
• Reconstructive Surgery: The team manages complex cases including post-bariatric reconstruction for skin laxity after major weight loss.
• Breast Surgery: Options include mastopexy (breast lift), mammoplasty, breast reduction, and implant placement based on individual needs.
• Scar Treatment: Surgical repair for keloids, hypertrophic scars, and widened scars.

Each surgical plan is defined only after a thorough medical evaluation.

Facial and Eyelid Restoration

Surgeons use Deep Plane Lift techniques to treat the mid-face and jawline. This approach includes mento elongation to improve the chin profile. For eyelid concerns, the clinic performs blepharoplasty when medically indicated. The team also discusses non-surgical options like PDO threads and biostimulators for specific aging concerns.

Body and Skin Laxity Solutions

The clinic offers abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) variants for different patient needs. One method focuses on a reduced scar for post-pregnancy abdominal laxity. Another technique suits patients after major weight loss, creating a natural-looking umbilical scar. For arm laxity, the clinic provides brachioplasty when non-surgical options fall short.

Advanced Medical Technologies

The clinic uses several specialized platforms for treatment and skin rejuvenation:

• Morpheus 8: Provides subdermal collagen bio-stimulation for skin rejuvenation and correcting irregularities after liposuction.
• DEKA CO2 Laser: Used for facial rejuvenation and treating acne scars. It also suits darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick types 5 and 6).
• Body Contouring Tools: Liposound, vibrolipo, and argoplasma technologies reduce pain, bleeding, and swelling during liposuction.

These technologies improve skin retraction and postoperative comfort.

International Patient Services

The clinic provides educational content to help international patients understand expected outcomes. Consultations are available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Patients receive close follow-up throughout their surgical journey. This includes postoperative evaluations, such as a case review 15 days after surgery.
