Specialties
Six fields that talk to each other
When a case calls for more than one, planning is done jointly and, whenever possible, in a single surgical session.
02
Plastic Surgery
Treatment of disease and trauma and improvement of aesthetic aspects, from two complementary perspectives: reconstructive surgery and aesthetic surgery.
See plastic surgery
03
Orofacial Harmonization
A set of aesthetic procedures combined to improve the harmony of the face, working on features and on the signs of facial ageing.

Inside
Day to day at the clinic
The clinic
Genuinely multidisciplinary, not just on paper
Complex facial cases rarely belong to a single specialty. A jaw deformity involves bone, teeth, airway and appearance - and each of those has a professional best placed to assess it.
That is why the clinic brings together two oral and maxillofacial surgeons, a plastic surgeon, orthodontics, dental radiology and nutrition. The assessment is joint and the plan is single. In practice: fewer rounds of anaesthesia, fewer trips back and forth, and a more predictable recovery.
-
Multidisciplinary team
Maxillofacial surgeons, a plastic surgeon, orthodontics, dental radiology and nutrition discussing the same case.
-
A single treatment plan
One integrated diagnosis avoids rework: where possible, procedures are combined in a single surgical session.
-
Diagnostic imaging
Head and neck X-rays and CT scans reported in-house, so planning happens before surgery.
-
Sports dentistry
Care for professional athletes, with facial and dental trauma protocols and a quick return to training.

Before you book
Do you accept health insurance?
Consultations at the clinic are private. Larger operations, such as orthognathic surgery, are usually covered in part or in full by most Brazilian health plans and insurers - we assess each case and advise on the paperwork required.
What happens at the first appointment?
The first assessment maps your complaint, your history and your imaging. When a case involves more than one specialty, the plan is discussed by the team before being presented to you, with stages, timelines and costs in writing.
Can orthognathic surgery and rhinoplasty be combined?
Yes. Because oral and maxillofacial surgeons and a plastic surgeon work in the same team, associated procedures - orthognathic surgery, rhinoplasty, correction of a deviated septum - can be carried out in a single surgical session, reducing rounds of anaesthesia and recovery time.
How long does recovery take?
It depends on the procedure. Outpatient surgery under local anaesthesia usually allows a return to light activity within a few days; hospital surgery requires closer follow-up. You receive a detailed post-operative protocol and a direct line to the team.
