Luiz Augusto Gonzaga — plastic surgery (Dr.)

Luiz Augusto Gonzaga is a private outpatient plastic surgery and aesthetic clinic in Florianópolis, Brazil. It operates within the Baía Sul Medical Center. Dr. Luiz Augusto Gonzaga leads the practice, focusing on body contouring and facial rejuvenation.

Body Contouring and Reconstructive Surgery

The clinic offers several abdominoplasty options based on each patient's anatomy:

• Classic Abdominoplasty for standard tissue removal
• Extended Abdominoplasty to address the flanks
• Mini-abdominoplasty for patients with limited skin laxity
• Lipoabdominoplasty, which combines fat removal with muscle repair

Patients who have had bariatric surgery or major weight loss may benefit from brachioplasty (arm lift). This removes excess skin from the upper arms. Thigh lifts are also available, with incision placement decided case by case.

The clinic treats gynaecomastia (enlarged male breasts) using vibrolipoaspiration or open surgery. Both approaches remove glandular tissue and fat.

Facial Aesthetics and Rejuvenation

Facial procedures target structural sagging, not just surface wrinkles. Ritidoplasty (facelift) addresses muscle laxity to restore a natural, youthful look. For ear correction, otoplasty uses small incisions behind the ear to reposition prominent ears. Adult otoplasty patients typically resume normal activities within seven days.

The clinic also offers blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and rhinoplasty. Bioplasty is an alternative for defining the chin, cheeks, jawline, and lip contours. These treatments refine facial harmony through individualized planning.

Aesthetic Medicine and Laser Technology

Non-surgical options complement the surgical offerings. Specialists use botulinum toxin to treat lines around the eyes and forehead. For deeper rejuvenation, the clinic performs phenol peeling. This can be combined with laser treatments for better results.

Skin resurfacing options include:

• Laser CO2 Fracionado for wrinkles and pigmentation
• Erbium Laser (Fraxel-type) for precise skin refinement
• Targeted treatments for scars and skin tumors

Diagnostic and Surgical Equipment

The clinic uses specialized platforms to improve surgical precision. Vibrolipoaspiração equipment helps the surgeon contour the body more efficiently. Liposuction techniques also include laser and ultrasound-based approaches.

This technology enables liposculpture. The patient's own fat serves as a graft to add volume to other areas.

Services for International Patients

The practice treats patients in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Dr. Luiz Augusto Gonzaga offers online consultations for initial surgical planning.

For procedures requiring sedation, the clinic coordinates pre-operative exams. These include blood tests, chest X-rays, and cardiology evaluations. Most patients are discharged shortly after their procedure. The clinic provides guidance on using compression garments during recovery.
