Specialties and Surgical Techniques

The clinic provides a range of specialized surgical and aesthetic procedures:

• Breast Surgery: Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without silicone implants. Surgeons also perform fat grafting to restore volume and shape.
• Breast Reconstruction: Restores symmetry after partial or total mastectomy. The team also treats congenital abnormalities like tuberosity and Poland syndrome.
• Intimate Surgery: Labiaplasty for labia reduction and clitoropexy to reduce the clitoral hood. These techniques aim to preserve sexual sensitivity.
• Body Contouring: Tummy tucks (abdominoplasty) and liposuction to improve body shape. Procedures often combine surgery with skin-tightening technologies.
• Aesthetic Medicine: Non-surgical facial rejuvenation using Botox and dermal fillers. These treatments target specific skin layers to manage aging.

Breast reconstruction and reduction surgeries typically take 5–6 hours. Patients usually stay in the hospital for 12–30 hours before discharge.

Advanced Technologies

Clinic Bernert uses specific surgical platforms to improve skin retraction and texture:

• Argoplasma: Uses argon plasma for skin tightening during contouring procedures.
• Morpheus 8: A radiofrequency system for non-surgical treatment of skin laxity and fine lines.

These tools help reduce the need for larger incisions in mild to moderate skin sagging cases.

Specialized Medical Team

Dr. Bruna Bernert trained at the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR). She completed residencies in general and plastic surgery. She then specialized in breast reconstruction at the University of São Paulo and the Cancer Institute of the State of São Paulo (ICESP).

Her international training includes an internship at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. She also completed advanced aesthetic breast surgery training with Dr. Dennis Hammond in the United States.

International Patient Services

The clinic treats international patients at both its São Paulo and Curitiba offices. The medical staff provides consultations in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Patients receive guidance through a structured pre-operative and post-operative process.

Many intimate surgeries allow same-day discharge under spinal anesthesia and sedation. Complex breast procedures require one night of hospitalization, with discharge the following morning.
