Plastic Surgery in Brazil

Nowhere has a country taken the field of plastic surgery and run with it quicker than Brazil. Long known as a paradise for the beauty of its country and its people, it is no surprise that Brazil has emerged as a world leader in the field of cosmetic surgery. Its exotic locales and stunning scenery make it one of the best places to recuperate after plastic surgery treatment. To see Brazil as it used to be, visitors head to the Bay of All Saints to the former capitol of Salvador, which still houses artifacts from its times as a colonial city. Amazonia National Park covers nearly forty percent of the country's landmass and is not to be missed for nature lovers. The rich intercultural tapestries of the country can be seen in Sao Luis, which melds the African, Portuguese and indigenous populations of the country to a beautiful mix. Recife, a tourist destination on the Gold Coast of Brazil in the northeastern edge of the country, is known for its numerous canals as well as bridges that skirt around the city, offering recreational activities such as sea diving, water-diving, and surfing. Shopping, excellent nightlife, and world famous restaurants can be found in Sao Paulo, the commercial metropolis of Brazil. Last but certainly not least is the cultural center of Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, which is a must-see destination for any traveler to the country. In a country that has it all and then some, Brazil continues to lead the medical industry in the field of plastic surgery treatment.

A good candidate for plastic surgery undergoes an extensive evaluation by a medical team of English-speaking plastic surgeons, nurses, and assistants on the many sub-categories involved. Popular procedures currently include face and body implant surgery, nose surgery (rhinoplasty), facelift surgery, arm lift surgery (brachioplasty), and neck lift surgery (cervicoplasty). Popular procedures for women include the Brazilian butt lift surgery, breast implant surgery (breast augmentation), macrolane (high speed breast enlargement), breast lift surgery (mastopexy), breast reduction, surgery, hymenoplasty, revirgination surgery, and scleroplasty (spider, varicose, thread vein removal). Popular surgical procedures for men in the field of plastic surgery are Botox, brow lift surgery (forehead lift), eyelid lift surgery (blepharoplasty), collagen injections, facelift surgery (rhytidectomy), neck lift surgery (cervicoplasty), hair transplant surgery (hair restoration), and male breast reduction (gynecomastia). Other common procedures include nose trimming (alarplasty), liposuction (lipoplasty), thigh lift (thighplasty), and tattoo removal. Following surgery, patients are advised on a recovery regimen for the duration of their stay in Brazil. These advantages in medical technology and recovery options help to position Brazil as a dominant force in the global field of plastic surgery.
