Clinic DG is a private plastic surgery practice in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It operates two branches in Ipanema and Barra da Tijuca. Led by Dr. Gigi Longhi, the practice focuses on aesthetic surgery, reconstructive procedures, and intimate care. The clinic serves patients worldwide through individualized treatment planning.
Accreditations and Professional Credentials
Dr. Gigi Longhi holds the CRM 52-935956 license and RQE 30.428 specialist registration. She is a specialist of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). The clinic also holds membership in the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).
Specialties and Surgical Procedures
The clinic offers a broad range of surgical options for facial and body rejuvenation. Each procedure begins with a detailed consultation to assess skin quality and anatomy.
Body Contouring and Liposuction
Specialists perform various liposuction techniques to address localized fat deposits. These include tumescent, ultrasound-assisted (UAL), and power-assisted (PAL) liposuction. Laser liposuction and high-definition techniques are also available.
For patients seeking volume enhancement, the clinic performs liposculpture. This involves processing and transferring the patient's own fat to other areas.
Breast and Abdominal Surgery
The clinic offers several mammaplasty variants to change breast shape or size:
- Breast augmentation with implants
- Reduction mammaplasty to remove excess tissue and skin
- Mastopexy (breast lift) to firm and reposition the breasts
- Post-mastectomy reconstruction including prepectoral techniques
Abdominal procedures target excess skin and muscle separation. Surgeons perform traditional abdominoplasty and mini-abdominoplasty. For patients with abdominal diastasis (split stomach muscles), the clinic uses robotic or laparoscopic approaches. These methods are less invasive than open surgery.
Facial Rejuvenation and Intimate Care
Facial procedures range from surgical lifts to non-surgical injectables. The clinic offers Deep Plane Facelifts and SMAS lifts to reposition deep tissues. Blepharoplasty corrects sagging eyelids for both aesthetic and functional vision needs.
Intimate surgery includes labiaplasty (ninfoplastia). This procedure corrects labia asymmetry or size to improve physical comfort during exercise.
Post-Bariatric Reconstructive Surgery
The clinic runs a dedicated program for patients following massive weight loss. Surgery is typically performed 12 to 18 months after bariatric procedures – once weight has stabilized. Specialists focus on removing redundant skin folds that cause hygiene issues or discomfort.
The reconstructive range includes:
- Brachioplasty to lift the arms
- Thigh lifting to remove excess skin from the legs
- Belt lipectomy for circumferential body contouring
- Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty for massive skin removal
Technology and Equipment
The clinic uses Retraction technology during body contouring. This system applies controlled heat to the deep dermis, stimulating collagen production. It helps skin tighten more effectively after fat removal. The clinician manually controls power and temperature levels, which reduces the risk of thermal complications like skin burns.
Services for International Patients
The practice supports international patients throughout their stay in Rio de Janeiro. Coordination includes hotel accommodation partnerships and post-operative monitoring. Multilingual support is available in Portuguese.
The clinic provides educational content about healing phases, which can last from 3 months to over a year. Assistance continues through recovery to monitor surgical outcomes.
