Surgical Specialties and Methodologies

The practice focuses on body contouring and breast procedures. Specialists use the Liposculpture Full Tech protocol for body transformations. This method combines fat transfer with gluteal and hip molding to create a balanced silhouette. For postpartum recovery, the clinic offers Mommy makeover planning.

Mommy makeover procedures are tailored to each patient and may include:

• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to repair abdominal muscles
• Liposuction to remove localized fat deposits
• Mammaplasty to address changes in breast volume
• Pexia mamaria (breast lift) with or without implants

Breast surgery options include augmentation, lift procedures, and explantation with reconstruction. The clinic performs reconstruction without prostheses when needed. For transgender women, the practice offers thorax feminization. This can be combined with mammaplasty to achieve a feminine chest profile.

Aesthetic Medicine and Technology

The clinic uses CO2 Laser technology for non-surgical facial and body rejuvenation. This platform stimulates collagen production to improve skin texture and luminosity. It smooths fine lines and addresses acne scarring. Laser treatment may be combined with Vitamin C protocols to boost skin quality.

Surgeons follow the Postoperatorio 360 recovery model. This approach provides structured follow-up through every stage of healing. Patients receive specific scar care support, including silicone sheets for optimal healing. The medical team also guides patients on compression garments to support tissue during recovery.

International Patient Services

The clinic regularly treats patients traveling from abroad, including from Ireland. English-speaking staff support international visitors throughout their care. Patients receive a personalized medical evaluation before traveling to define the ideal procedure. Preparation starts before surgery with recommended supplements to reduce inflammation and speed recovery.
