Key Facts and Achievements

Dr. Mario Bongiolo has over 17 years of experience in plastic surgery. Since 2009, he has performed more than 3,000 surgeries. He is certified by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), the primary regulatory body for specialists in Brazil.

The clinic follows structured safety protocols for all procedures. For breast augmentation, it uses a specific 14-point safety checklist. Dr. Bongiolo also served as a preceptor for plastic surgery services, training other doctors in the field.

Specialties and Procedures

The clinic specializes in breast surgery, abdominal contouring, and advanced liposuction. Each plan follows a detailed analysis of tissue quality and patient goals. Dr. Bongiolo is known for structured mastopexy and high-definition body contouring.

Breast Surgery and R24 Protocol

The flagship breast service is the R24 rapid-recovery implant approach. This protocol uses Dual Plane positioning, placing the implant in two different tissue planes. The goal is early rehabilitation. Patients typically move their arms three hours after surgery and return to routine within 24 hours.

For breast lifting, the clinic offers Mastopexia Estruturada. This technique uses internal support structures, such as a muscular strap, to maintain long-term lift. Revision cases focus on rebuilding the breast base rather than just changing implant size.

Abdominal and Body Contouring

The clinic offers abdominoplasty without drains using the Baroudi technique. This method uses 30–40 adhesion points to fix tissue progressively, so external drains aren't needed. This reduces post-operative discomfort. For abdominal muscle separation, the MILA technique allows correction through smaller access points.

Liposuction procedures use ultrasound and radiofrequency technologies for precision. These methods emulsify fat before removal to protect surrounding tissues. The clinic offers several body shaping options:

• Vaser Liposuction for precise removal of deep and superficial fat layers.
• High-Definition (HD) Lipo to create athletic muscle definition.
• Liposculpture to relocate fat and balance body proportions.
• 360 Liposuction for circumferential contouring of the torso.

Equipment and Technologies

Dr. Bongiolo uses specific technology platforms to improve skin retraction and fat removal. These tools deliver more precise results than traditional suction methods. The clinic has several recognized systems:

• VASER ultrasound technology for emulsifying fat cells.
• Renuvion and Argoplasma for tightening skin after fat removal.
• Quantum RF25 and Ignite radiofrequency platforms for skin laxity.

All major surgeries take place in a hospital setting. Dr. Bongiolo frequently operates at Hospital Muricy to access full surgical infrastructure.

Services for International Patients

The clinic offers dedicated support for patients traveling from abroad. A multidisciplinary team assists with planning, surgery, and recovery. Staff provide continuous follow-up throughout the post-operative period. Communication is available in three languages:

• Portuguese
• English
• Spanish

Planning includes a review of medical history and exams before travel. The team stays available throughout recovery to monitor healing progress.
