Michel Salameh

Board-certified plastic surgeon with dual training in Brazil and Lebanon, operating between Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Beirut. Formed in a high-volume, SBCP-accredited program at Hospital da Plástica (Rio de Janeiro) under Dr. Farid Hakmeh, with additional integration in elite surgical teams linked to the Pitanguy legacy and advanced post-bariatric reconstruction units. Background combines rigorous surgical discipline with a strong academic foundation in biomechanics and medical imaging, enabling precise anatomical planning and reproducible high-definition results.

Practice focused on advanced body contouring and facial rejuvenation, with a clear positioning in high-definition surgery and structural fat grafting. Specialist in intramuscular fat injection techniques (UGRAFT / URAFT / Ultra HD grafting), delivering controlled volumization and athletic definition with surgical precision. Extensive experience in liposuction (including high-definition and secondary cases), Mommy Makeover procedures, and complex body contouring after major weight loss.

Incorporates advanced energy-based technologies to optimize surgical outcomes, including Argoplasma (Renuvion) for subdermal tightening and soft tissue contraction, and Morpheus (RF microneedling) for dermal remodeling and skin quality improvement. These modalities are selectively combined with surgical techniques to enhance definition, skin retraction, and long-term results.

In facial surgery, performs deep plane facelifts and deep neck lifts, focusing on structural repositioning rather than superficial traction. Approach prioritizes anatomical restoration, longevity of results, and preservation of natural facial dynamics. Integrates surgical and non-surgical modalities for full facial harmonization when indicated.

Surgical experience exceeds 3,000 procedures in private and hospital-based settings, reflecting consistent exposure to high-demand, high-complexity cases. Operates in leading hospitals in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Lebanon, ensuring advanced infrastructure, strict safety standards, and comprehensive perioperative care. 

Academic contributions include multiple peer-reviewed publications and international presentations, particularly in biomechanics and medical imaging, reinforcing precision-based planning and evidence-driven practice. Active participation in major plastic surgery congresses in Brazil ensures continuous technical refinement and alignment with the latest surgical advancements.

Fluent in Arabic, French, English, Portuguese, and Spanish, enabling direct communication with a diverse international patient base and facilitating a seamless, high-standard patient experience.
