Professional Expertise and Accreditations

Dr. Maxwell Furtado leads the practice. He is a board-certified specialist and Membro Titular of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. He completed his medical degree at the State University of Health Sciences of Alagoas. His surgical training continued with a residency at the Fundação Hospitalar do Estado de Minas Gerais.

Dr. Furtado has performed over 1,000 breast surgeries throughout his career. This includes complex cases involving asymmetry and various grades of ptosis (sagging). The clinic emphasizes evidence-based counseling. Results vary based on factors like body weight and anatomy.

Specialized Plastic Surgery Procedures

The clinic offers surgical solutions for the breasts, abdomen, and limbs. Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient's physical requirements and health status.

Breast Surgery

Specialists perform several types of mastopexy (breast lift) to address sagging or asymmetry:

• Mastopexy without implants
• Short scar mastopexy
• L-shaped mastopexy
• Breast augmentation with prosthesis selection

For male patients, the clinic provides gynecomastia correction. The surgeon selects the method based on the grade of tissue enlargement. Techniques include liposuction, removal of excess gland tissue, or skin excision.

Body Contouring and Abdominoplasty

The clinic treats abdominal concerns through tummy tucks and liposuction. Surgeons address diastasis recti – the separation of abdominal muscles. They also evaluate revision abdominoplasty for patients who have had previous surgery.

Liposuction options include LipoHD for defined contouring and tumescent techniques. Post-bariatric patients may receive multi-stage reconstructive care. This often includes brachioplasty (arm lift) and thigh surgery to remove excess skin.

Scar Management

Dr. Furtado provides specialized care for various undesirable scar types:

• Keloids (raised, thick scars)
• Hypertrophic scars
• Atrophic or retracted scars
• Stretched or widened scars

Treatment plans may involve laser therapy, surgical revision, or radiotherapy. The choice depends on the scar's characteristics and location.

Advanced Technologies and Equipment

The clinic uses specific platforms to improve skin retraction and contouring results during surgery. These technologies are often combined with liposuction or abdominoplasty to enhance tissue firming.

Key technologies include ArgoPlasma and Renuvion. These systems use cold plasma or radiofrequency to tighten the skin from underneath. They are frequently used in abdominal cases and gynecomastia surgery to reduce skin laxity.

International Patient Services

The clinic treats a diverse patient base and supports communication in several languages. Dr. Furtado and his team provide consultations in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. This allows international patients to discuss their surgical goals and risks directly with the surgeon.

The team provides detailed pre-operative and post-operative guidance. This includes counseling on how body mass index (BMI) affects surgical outcomes. Menstruation does not require rescheduling surgical procedures.
