Facial Surgery and Rhinoplasty
The clinic specializes in facial contouring with a focus on natural, lasting results. Dr. Nigro performs rhinoplasty using open, closed, and structured techniques. These methods allow for both aesthetic reshaping and functional nasal correction. Each surgical plan begins with a detailed evaluation of the patient's goals and health.
Facelift procedures are customized to address specific areas. The clinic offers several lifting options:
- Full face and neck lifting
- Upper third (forehead) lifting
- Middle and lower third facial lifting
- Endoscopic facelift for targeted rejuvenation
Facial surgeries generally take under 3 hours. Recovery requires 7 to 10 days of absolute rest, then 30 days of limited activity. Results for most facial procedures begin to stabilize after two months.
Body Contouring and Breast Reconstruction
Body sculpting includes vibro-liposuction. This technology uses automated movement to remove localized fat from the abdomen, back, and limbs. The clinic also performs abdominoplasty for patients seeking abdominal correction after pregnancy or weight loss. Surgeons treat gynecomastia using VASER liposuction to redefine the chest.
Breast procedures cover both aesthetic and reconstructive needs. Dr. Nigro performs breast lifts using various incision patterns, such as the vertical or "T" technique. Reconstruction is available for patients who have had partial or full breast gland removal. These surgeries may include silicone implants when needed.
International Patient Services
The clinic treats both local and international patients. The medical team speaks Portuguese, English, and Spanish. A dedicated coordinator manages everything from the first consultation through final follow-up. A nursing technician provides specialized support before and after surgery.
Post-operative care follows a clear schedule. Patients return for a follow-up visit on the 7th or 8th day after surgery. Additional evaluations occur once or twice over the following three months. The clinic provides care through its own facility and Hospital Evangélico Mackenzie.
