Kadu Peçanha

With 10 years of experience and 1,000+ surgeries performed, Kadu Peçanha focuses on plastic surgery planning that starts before the operating room and continues through recovery. As a Plastic Surgery specialist at the clinic in Barra da Tijuca (Avenida Celso Kelly, 355), he works with patients who want results aligned with their goals—whether that means a silicone implant approach or a no-implant mastopexy. His consultations can begin online by video, with a structured discussion of objectives, possibilities, limitations, and whether there is an indication for surgery. When surgery is appropriate, the in-person visit is reserved for the ideal moment before the procedure.

Clinical focus and techniques

At the clinic, the approach is built around patient-specific planning—especially for breast reshaping and post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss body contouring. Procedures are chosen to address both shape and proportion, including combined surgeries performed in the same operative time when needed.

• Lipohd (liposuction techniques described as “lipohd”) for body contour refinement.
• Lipoabdominoplasty for combined abdominal skin laxity and contour remodeling.
• “L” mastopexy for breast lift with a defined reshaping pattern.
• Mastopexy without prosthesis using autoprojection and fat grafting to structure and round the breast while preserving a delicate, natural volume.
• Abdominal diastasis correction to address rectus muscle separation.
• Silicone breast implants (silicone prosthesis), including described cases such as 300cc XH implants in “L” mastopexy.
• Fat grafting as part of implant-free breast reshaping.
• Liposuction to improve definition and body contour.

Awards and recognition

No awards are listed in the available evidence.

For international patients, the clinic supports first-step planning through online video consultations, which is helpful for people who live in other states or have limited time for early in-person visits. The practice is based in Rio de Janeiro, with in-person care scheduled when surgical indication is confirmed. The communication style emphasizes being heard before any decision—so patients can discuss fears, expectations, and goals in the consultation, not only on the day of surgery.
