Postoperative care is crucial for most plastic surgeries, especially procedures like liposuction and abdominoplasty, which often result in significant swelling.
Other types of plastic surgery, such as silicone implants, breast reconstruction, facelift surgery, and eyelid surgery, also benefit from lymphatic drainage, albeit with fewer sessions required.
The Advantages of Dr. Alexandre Charão’s Clinic and Team
Dr. Alexandre Charão closely monitors all his patients, typically scheduling 4 to 6 follow-up appointments, which are included in the postoperative care plan for any plastic surgery.
Additionally, his clinic offers the services of physiotherapists and aestheticians to perform lymphatic drainage sessions. If necessary, advanced equipment such as ultrasound (Manthus) and vacuum devices (Endermologie) are used to accelerate aesthetic results and prevent fibrosis in the treated area.
It’s common for the clinic to treat patients operated on by other surgeons who couldn’t find a trusted facility for their prescribed postoperative sessions.
Scheduling Postoperative Appointments
Postoperative follow-ups with Dr. Alexandre are coordinated with lymphatic drainage sessions (when needed) to optimize patients’ visits to the clinic. Be sure to ask about the cost of lymphatic drainage sessions and any available discounts for packages of 5 or 10 sessions.
For patients who live outside Rio de Janeiro or abroad and spend limited time in the city, the clinic offers an exclusive service: in-hotel care. A trained professional will assist the patient during the early recovery days, changing dressings and performing lymphatic drainage sessions, reducing the need to travel to the clinic.
The clinic increasingly serves international patients and Brazilian residents abroad.
For these patients, Dr. Alexandre Charão uses absorbable sutures that don’t need removal, allowing for a quicker return to their home city or country.
Dr. Alexandre Charão sees patients in Rio de Janeiro and Petrópolis. For more information, feel free to get in touch.
