Patient Testimonials: Real Reviews of Plastic Surgery in Brazil
Choosing a plastic surgeon is a significant medical decision. It involves technique, credentials, communication, risk discussion, and trust. Patient narratives can help you understand how other people experienced the process, but they do not replace an individual consultation.
Throughout more than twenty years of practice and over eight thousand surgeries performed, I have cared for patients with many different motivations, anatomies, and expectations. Each patient testimonial about plastic surgery should be read as one individual experience, not as a prediction of another person's outcome.
On this page, I share patient testimonials from those who have authorised the publication of their experiences. These accounts describe expectations, fears, the surgical process, recovery, and personal impressions after treatment. For international patients considering medical tourism in Brazil, they can offer context about the clinic pathway, whilst individual results and recovery vary.
If you prefer visual context, also visit our results gallery, where authorised examples may be discussed appropriately. You can also learn about the cost, how the first consultation works, and my training and credentials.
Testimonials — Facial Surgeries
Facial surgery can have a meaningful emotional impact because the face is central to expression, identity, and social interaction. The testimonials below describe individual experiences after procedures such as deep plane facelift, rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty.
"I was very afraid of looking artificial. Dr. Zamarian explained everything to me patiently, showed me photos, and the result was so natural that people comment that I look rested, younger — but no one suspects that I had surgery."
— M.L.S., 58 yearsDeep Plane Facelift + Blepharoplasty
"My nose bothered me since adolescence. After researching a lot, I chose Dr. Zamarian for his experience and the results I saw. The surgery changed the way I relate to my appearance, and I feel more comfortable with my facial balance."
— A.C.R., 29 yearsRhinoplasty
"Droopy eyelids gave me a permanently tired look. After the blepharoplasty, my eyes looked more open. The recovery was quicker than I imagined, and I was pleased with the result."
— R.T.M., 52 yearsUpper and Lower Blepharoplasty
Testimonials — Body Surgeries
Body procedures such as abdominoplasty, liposuction, and breast augmentation are sought by patients who wish to address specific anatomical concerns and improve body proportion. The accounts below describe experiences from patients treated at our clinic in Brazil.
"After three pregnancies, my abdomen never returned to how it was before. The abdominoplasty improved my waist contour and my comfort with my body. Dr. Zamarian is extremely detail-oriented, and the entire team made me feel supported at every step."
— F.P.O., 41 yearsAbdominoplasty + Liposuction
"I had always felt uncomfortable with my body at the beach. After liposuction and breast augmentation, I felt more at ease in a bikini. Dr. Zamarian's care from the first consultation was attentive and thorough."
— L.M.K., 34 yearsBreast Augmentation + Liposuction
"I had breast implants two years ago, and the result remains natural and proportional. Dr. Zamarian helped choose a size suited to my body type. I recommend him to friends who are researching the procedure."
— C.A.B., 27 yearsBreast Augmentation
Testimonials — Intimate Surgery
Female intimate surgery is still surrounded by taboos, but it may help selected patients with discomfort, proportion concerns, or functional complaints. Labiaplasty is one of the procedures performed in my clinic, and indication depends on a careful consultation.
"I suffered from discomfort when wearing tight clothes and during physical activities. Labiaplasty had a major impact on my day-to-day comfort. Besides the comfort, I regained confidence in intimacy. Dr. Zamarian was extremely respectful and professional."
— J.S.L., 32 years oldLabiaplasty
"I researched for months before deciding. Dr. Zamarian made me feel at ease to ask all my questions. The result was natural and symmetrical for my anatomy, and I felt well guided throughout the process."
— P.R.N., 26 years oldLabiaplasty

How we collect testimonials: ethics and consent
Clear communication and consent are core values in my practice. All testimonials published on this page follow a defined process:
- Written consent — each patient signs a specific authorisation allowing the publication of their testimonial.
- Preserved identity — we use only initials to protect privacy. The patient chooses the level of exposure.
- Spontaneous testimonials — we do not offer financial incentives or discounts in exchange for testimonials.
- Right of withdrawal — the patient can request the removal of the testimonial at any time, without justification.
- Compliance with CFM — we follow all the regulations of the Federal Council of Medicine regarding medical advertising.
This ethical stance is intended to keep testimonials consent-based and voluntary. The page should be read as individual patient narratives, not as a guarantee of results.
Learn about our privacy policy for more details on how we handle your data.

Over 20 years of plastic surgery practice in Brazil
I graduated from the State University of Londrina and had the privilege of being a student of Professor Ivo Pitanguy, one of the most influential names in Brazilian plastic surgery. Over more than two decades, I have performed over eight thousand plastic surgeries with a clear commitment: to assess each patient as an individual.
I am a full member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). These credentials are not just titles — they represent years of training, continuous evaluation, and commitment to specialist standards in plastic surgery.
Each testimonial on this page reflects not only a personal impression of the result but also the relationship built during care. From the first consultation to the last post-operative follow-up, my goal is for you to feel informed, supported, and cared for.

To protect the privacy of patients, as determined by the Federal Council of Medicine and our privacy policy. Some patients choose to record video testimonials with greater exposure, which is a personal decision.

In some cases, patients volunteer to talk with candidates for surgery. During the consultation, I can check if there is someone available to share their experience directly with you.
Are the results shown typical?
Each patient is unique and results vary according to individual anatomy, age, skin quality, and other factors. During the first consultation, I evaluate your specific characteristics and present realistic expectations for your case.
