Dr. George Soares (clinic do Dr. George Soares)

Dr. George Soares is a private plastic surgery practice in the Barra da Tijuca district of Rio de Janeiro. The clinic covers a wide range of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures for the face, body, and breasts. Dr. George Soares personally coordinates all treatment planning to match each patient's goals.

Professional Recognition and Expertise

The practice is led by Dr. George Soares, who graduated in medicine in 1983. He completed two residencies in general surgery and plastic surgery at Hospital do Andaraí. He then served as senior assistant surgeon and chief of a surgical center at the Ivo Pitanguy Clinic for over a decade. Dr. Soares is a Membro-Titular of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery.

Facial Rejuvenation and Rhinoplasty

The clinic offers several facial lifting techniques to address aging and tissue laxity. These include frontal, facial, and neck lifts. Surgeons also perform dermoabrasion – a surgical scraping method using high-rotation diamond burs. This smooths wrinkles or acne scars. The procedure typically lasts 1 to 2 hours under local or general anesthesia.

Rhinoplasty services focus on both aesthetic reshaping and functional improvements. Dr. Soares performs rhinoseptoplasty to correct breathing issues from a deviated septum. Each nasal surgery is tailored to the patient's anatomy and skin type. The clinic also treats congenital ear deformities, such as microtia, through specialized otoplasty techniques.

Breast and Body Contouring

Breast procedures cover reconstructive and aesthetic needs. The clinic offers mastopexy, which removes excess skin to lift the breasts with or without implants. Other breast services include:

• Breast reduction (mastoplastia redutora)
• Breast augmentation with prostheses
• Gynecomastia surgery for male breast reduction
• Nipple correction for inverted mamilla or size reduction
• Capsulectomy to manage post-prosthesis contracture

Body contouring options include classic, inverted, and mini abdominoplasty. These procedures address excess abdominal skin and fat. Recovery takes 30 to 40 days. The surgeon gives specific instructions, such as sleeping in the Fowler position to protect the surgical area. Liposuction and fat grafting are also available to refine body shape further.

Reconstructive and Intimate Surgery

The clinic has a strong focus on reparative surgery for scars and tumor-related tissue loss. Dr. Soares uses tissue flaps and grafting to restore anatomy and function. Reconstructive services include expanders for burn sequelae and DIEP flap reconstruction. The practice also offers female intimate surgeries, including labiaplasty to reduce the labia minora.

Reconstructive planning is highly individualized. The surgeon gives detailed guidance on risk factors that affect healing, such as smoking and alcohol. This helps minimize complications like seromas or infection. Long-term follow-up monitors results and manages any complex implant issues.

Services for International Patients
