Credentials and Professional Achievements

Dr. Romero Catão has over 10 years of experience in plastic surgery.

Plastic Surgery Specialties

The clinic performs surgical procedures for the breasts and body. Each case begins with a detailed consultation to match patient goals with the right technique. Dr. Catão works across several areas:

• Breast Surgery: Options include mastopexy (breast lift), breast reduction, and augmentation. Silicone implants, including gummy bear types, are used when the patient's anatomy calls for them.
• Body Contouring: Liposuction and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) refine body shape. Dr. Catão often pairs these with breast surgery for balanced results.
• Mommy Makeover: This combines multiple procedures to restore the body after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Reconstructive Surgery: The practice restores function and appearance after trauma or illness.

For breast cases, Dr. Catão notes that not every surgery requires implants. The final technique is chosen only after a thorough tissue assessment.

Postoperative Care and Rehabilitation

Recovery is treated as essential to the surgical result. A specialized physiotherapy team supports patients right after their procedure, helping restore mobility and independence safely.

Postoperative support follows three steps:

1. Hospital Care: Physiotherapy starts within 24 hours of surgery. Staff help with bathing, dressing changes, and initial mobility exercises.
2. Home Recovery: After discharge, the first five physiotherapy sessions happen at the patient's residence. This keeps care consistent during early healing.
3. Clinic Follow-up: Later rehabilitation and monitoring continue at the clinic. The team provides scar maturation guidance, since scars typically mature over several months.

This recovery protocol helps patients return to daily life more comfortably. The team also educates patients on long-term implant monitoring and breast health.

International Patient Services

Dr. Romero Catão and his staff assist international patients in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. This ensures clear communication about surgical techniques and aftercare instructions. The team also helps travelers coordinate their recovery timeline while in Brazil.
