Camara Lopes clinic / Instituto Camara Lopesでの女性化乳房矯正術

Camara Lopes Clinic, also known as Instituto Camara Lopes, is a private medical facility in Curitiba, Brazil. Established in 2006, the clinic operates with four specialized departments. It provides integrated care in hair restoration, plastic surgery, and advanced dermatology.

Key Facts and Patient Statistics

The medical team has performed more than 5,000 procedures. Operations are led by two board-certified specialists. Dr. Sérgio Camara Lopes is a plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience. Dr. Alessandra Bernardi Camara Lopes is a dermatologist specializing in trichology – the study of hair and scalp health. The clinic manages high volumes, typically planning 3,500 to 4,500 hair grafts per day.

Hair Restoration and Trichology

Every hair loss case gets a two-perspective evaluation. A plastic surgeon and a trichologist assess the patient together to create a plan. Specialists use the FUE technique for extraction combined with DHI implantation. This allows precise follicle placement to restore natural frontal hairlines.

Restoration options at the clinic include:

• Scalp Hair Transplant: Uses FUE and DHI for high-density results.
• Body Hair Transplant (BHT): Uses grafts from the body when scalp donor areas are insufficient.
• Eyebrow Transplant: Uses ultra-fine 0.85 mm punches for minimal scarring.
• Regenerative Support: Includes PRP therapy to stimulate hair growth after surgery.

Eyebrow follicles are placed at flat angles to mimic natural growth. Patients typically see final results within 10 to 12 months.

Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery

The surgical department performs facial, breast, and body contouring procedures. Dr. Sérgio Camara Lopes leads these operations, focusing on functional and aesthetic improvements. The clinic offers Mommy Makeover programs that combine breast surgery, abdominoplasty, and liposuction in one tailored plan.

Common surgical procedures include:

• Rhinoplasty: Lasts 2–5 hours and can include functional airway correction.
• Neck Lift: Adjusts underlying muscles and skin during a 2–3 hour surgery.
• Tummy Tuck: Includes full abdominoplasty or mini-tummy tuck options.
• Mammoplasty: Uses silicone implants for augmentation, lifting, or reduction.
• Otoplasty: Corrects ear projection and shape in a 1–2 hour procedure.

Specialists also perform blepharoplasty to rejuvenate the eye area. Facial procedures like mentoplasty (chin surgery) typically take 1 to 2 hours.

Advanced Technologies and Equipment

The clinic uses specific technology platforms to improve surgical and dermatological outcomes. Surgeons use VASER technology for lipoaspiration, which emulsifies fat before removal. The Laser Fotona system is available for advanced skin treatments and hair growth protocols. Body contouring tools include Argoplasma and Morpheus for skin tightening during liposuction.

Patient Care and International Services

Care begins with a medical evaluation, then moves to surgical planning. For safety, the clinic requires pre-operative exams and stopping medications that affect coagulation. The team provides support before, during, and after surgery. Post-operative care often includes lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and fibrosis. Staff speak Portuguese, English, and Spanish to accommodate international patients.
