Liposculpture di Dr. Leandro Gontijo

Instituto Mineiro de Cirurgia Plástica (IMCP) is a single-specialty clinic in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Dr. Leandro Gontijo and Pollyana Gontijo founded it in 2024. The facility focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. A team of over 60 professionals supports patients throughout treatment.

Key Achievements and Safety Standards

Dr. Leandro Gontijo has performed more than 2,000 surgeries. He holds active memberships in the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

The clinic follows a Hospital Seguro safety model for all procedures. Every surgery takes place in hospitals approved by regulatory bodies. These facilities provide sterilized equipment and dedicated anesthesiology teams. A specialized nursing team monitors each patient for immediate clinical support.

Surgical Specialties and Methods

The medical team offers a wide range of body and breast procedures. Each treatment plan includes nutritional and metabolic health support. Physicians, nutritionists, and physiotherapists work together on patient care.

Body Contouring and Liposuction

Specialists perform high-definition contouring to create athletic, defined body profiles. The clinic offers several body procedures:

• Lipo de Alta Definição (High-Definition Liposuction)
• Rib Remodeling (Remodelação Costal) to narrow the waistline
• Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to remove excess skin and repair abdominal muscles
• Liposculpture and fat reduction

Surgeons combine these techniques in the Mommy Makeover program. This treatment typically includes liposuction, breast implants, and abdominoplasty in one surgical plan.

Breast Surgery

The clinic performs both aesthetic and functional breast procedures. Surgeons use the Protéte R24R protocol for implant surgeries. This rapid recovery method helps patients return to normal activities within 24 hours. Available procedures include:

• Breast augmentation with silicone implants
• Mastopexy (breast lift) to correct sagging
• Breast reduction to relieve physical discomfort
• Reconstructive surgery following medical treatments

These procedures aim for natural-looking proportions while maintaining safety. The team manages care from initial consultation through long-term recovery.

Technology and Recovery Protocols

IMCP uses Argoplasma technology for skin tightening during contouring. This tool improves skin retraction after fat removal. The clinic also offers MILA, a technique for minimally invasive aesthetic improvements.

Recovery follows the Protéte R24R rapid recovery protocol. Specific surgical and anesthetic techniques reduce postoperative symptoms. This approach helps patients heal faster with less discomfort.

Services for International Patients

The clinic has a dedicated International Patient department. Staff assist travelers coming to Brazil for surgery. The team provides guidance before arrival and continues monitoring after patients return home.

Dr. Leandro Gontijo leads the surgical team and performs all primary consultations. He completed medical training and general surgery residency at the Federal University of the Triângulo Mineiro. He then trained in plastic surgery at the Hospital Foundation of the State of Minas Gerais.
