Your first step
A conversation before you travel.
Begin with a video consultation
You can speak with me while you are still at home. Video consultations usually last about 40 minutes and are scheduled on Saturday mornings in Londrina time.
This is a preliminary assessment. An in-person examination is required before surgery.
Choose a time together
Tell my team your country, city, and time zone. We will help coordinate a consultation time and explain how to join the call.

What can you expect from our consultation?
I want you to have room to explain your concerns, ask questions, and understand my recommendations. This video introduces the setting and the care behind our first meeting. The video is spoken in Portuguese.
Traveling to Brazil
Plan the visit around your care.
Start with the consultation
We discuss your needs first, then coordinate the examination in Londrina, testing, and possible dates. Confirm those arrangements with my team before booking flights.
Accommodation and transportation
My team can suggest a hotel or Airbnb and a driver. You arrange and pay for these services separately from your treatment.
Arrange someone to stay with you
Plan to have a responsible adult with you during recovery. If you cannot bring someone, ask my team about arranging a caregiver separately before you travel.
Follow-up after you return home
Your early appointments take place in Londrina, with support for dressings and postoperative care. After you return home, follow-up can continue online through the first year.
Patient experiences
Hear from people who have been here.
These patients share their own experiences in Portuguese. The short excerpts below are English translations of their words.
Ana Cristina
“I’m starting to feel like myself again. I’m starting to enjoy looking in the mirror again.”
Aguinaldo
“I really liked the procedure. It was worth it.”
Miriam
“And I don’t use filters anymore. It’s wonderful. You don’t have to touch up a video.”
As you listen, make a note of the questions you would like to ask about your own care.
Before you schedule
Practical questions, answered.
Do I need to be certain about having surgery?
No. Our consultation is a chance to discuss your concerns and expectations. I explain the relevant options, limitations, risks, and recovery before you make a decision.
How do I confirm the consultation fee?
My team confirms the consultation fee and payment arrangements when you schedule. If we begin by video, the preoperative in-person assessment in Londrina does not carry a second consultation fee. The surgical quote is separate and follows my assessment.
Can a video consultation replace the examination in Brazil?
No. A video call lets us begin the conversation and form a preliminary plan. I still need to examine you in person, review your tests, and confirm the surgical indication before operating.
What should I prepare for the video consultation?
Write down your questions and have your current medication list, relevant test results, allergies, and previous surgery history available for the consultation. Choose a private, well-lit space with a reliable connection. My team will explain any photographs needed and how to access the call; avoid sending sensitive records in the initial inquiry form.
How long should I plan to stay for a facelift?
For a deep plane facelift, arrive two days before surgery. The in-person consultation and photographs take place the day before. Plan at least 12 days after surgery; 14 postoperative days are preferable if you can stay longer. These intervals are planning guidance, not a guarantee that you will be ready to fly. I assess your recovery before you leave. Other procedures may require a different schedule.
Can I come without a companion?
Arrange a responsible adult to support you during recovery. If no one can travel with you, my team can suggest a caregiver for a separate arrangement. Please organize this before your trip rather than assuming it is included.
Are travel, accommodation, and transportation included?
No. Flights, hotel or Airbnb, transportation, and a companion or caregiver are booked and paid for separately. My team can offer suggestions, including a driver. We do not operate a recovery house.
Where will my surgery take place?
I operate at Hospital do Coração, Bela Suíça unit, in Londrina. Consultations take place at Zamarian Clinic. The clinic address below is not the hospital admission address; my team provides the hospital instructions for your surgery.
What happens to follow-up when I return home?
I see you in person during your stay in Londrina. After you leave, follow-up can continue online through the first postoperative year. My team and I provide postoperative WhatsApp support 24 hours a day. Remote contact cannot replace urgent local care when an examination or emergency treatment is needed.
What should I organize before booking flights?
Confirm the consultation, testing, surgical dates, length of stay, accommodation, and companion or caregiver with my team. Check Brazil’s current entry requirements with the Brazilian consulate responsible for your country. Share your country and time zone so we can coordinate the planning.
Can I obtain a surgical quote before being assessed?
The quote depends on the assessment and proposed surgical plan. After the consultation, my team explains the procedures, what is included, and payment arrangements. We distinguish treatment costs from the consultation, travel, and accommodation.
