Institute Beyond Plastic Surgery

Institute Beyond Plastic Surgery is a private clinic in the Centro district of Florianópolis, Brazil. Founded in 2026, it focuses on advanced aesthetic treatments and plastic surgery. The team includes two doctors, led by founder Dr. Aline Kracik.

Accreditations and Professional Standings

The clinic holds accreditation from the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). This means the surgical team meets the standards of Brazil's national professional body. Staff trained at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC).

Specialized Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Care

The institute offers surgical and non-surgical procedures for the face and body. Surgeons perform both aesthetic and functional corrections, tailoring each plan to the patient's anatomy. Key surgical areas include:

• Rhinoplasty for aesthetic and functional nose correction.
• Blepharoplasty addressing upper and lower eyelid skin or fat bags.
• Breast surgery including lifting, reduction, and male gynecomastia management.
• Body contouring such as tummy tucks, liposuction, and liposculpture.
• Facial refinement including bichectomy and forehead lifts.

Blepharoplasty is typically done under local anesthesia and sedation, so hospital admission isn't needed. The team also manages complex eyelid concerns like ptosis, where the eyelid margin sits lower than normal.

The advanced aesthetics department focuses on skin regeneration and structural support. These treatments optimize surgical results or work as standalone procedures. Non-surgical methods address localized fat, wrinkles, and eyelid drooping:

• Botox and facial fillers for expression lines.
• Collagen biostimulators using PDO threads to support skin structure.
• Laser CO2 micro-needling to improve skin texture and pigmentation.
• Radiofrequency treatments for tissue tightening and contouring.

Dr. Ligia Duclós brings expertise in gynecology and female sexuality. This allows the clinic to offer women's health consultations alongside surgical services.

Medical Technologies and Equipment

The institute uses several brand-name platforms for diagnosis and treatment. For body contouring, the team works with BodyTite and Morpheus 8 Body. These systems tighten skin while reducing fat through radiofrequency energy.

Water-jet assisted liposuction uses the Body Jet system. For non-surgical lifting, the clinic has Ultraformer technology. Surgeons also use Facetite radiofrequency micro-needling for precise facial contouring.

Services for International Patients

The clinic treats international travelers with specialized coordination for booking and consultations. Communication is available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

Before any procedure, staff review the patient's health history and aesthetic goals. This planning process gives travelers realistic expectations for recovery and final results.
