Living in California, we have access to countless qualified plastic surgeons. My wife (who is Brazilian) spent the better part of a year looking for a surgeon with both extensive experience and high recommendations. After months of research, she expanded her search to Rio and chose Dr. Alexandre Charão. From the very beginning, the experience was impressive. Despite being in the U.S., Dr. Charão coordinated a comprehensive Zoom consultation with his entire team--including a physical therapist, nurses, and a nutritionist--so we were completely prepared. He is extremely organized, informative, and professional. My wife underwent a full body makeover (tummy tuck, lipo, back surgery, and breast reduction). The surgery was performed in a top-tier hospital with attentive nursing staff. The post-op care was equally phenomenal; after her release, staff visited where we were staying to assist with physical therapy and monitoring to ensure there were no complications. Dr. Charão's work is comparable to high-end Hollywood surgeons, but without the crazy price tag. He also speaks English fluently (having studied in California). My wife is thrilled with her results, and I am so impressed that I am considering a procedure for myself. If you are on the fence, call his office. We highly recommend him! read more

I'm 64 yo and underwent Liposuction with exertia (fat reinsertion) and Argoplasma in the abdomen, butt and upper arm areas and 360 on my thighs. I had a fantastic result. The surgery was a success. Dr. Charão's surgery and follow up teams were on point in every step of the rejuvenating process. The hospital staff made sure there was no pain after surgery. The sutures at the insertion points were under the skin leaving minimal marks that will likely disappear with time. The physiotherapy and lymphatic massages were crucial in the recovery process to ensure a smooth and even surface of the skin, not to mention very relaxing. With bra hanging skin and love handles gone, now my waist is small, my stomach flat, my thighs smooth and my butt firm I'm still wearing my girdle with pads and can't wait for the time I can throw it in the fire and put on a bikini! read more
