Plastic Surgeon in Brazil — Dr. Walter Zamarian Jr.

There is no universal "best plastic surgeon in Brazil" for every patient. The safer question is: who has the right credentials, experience, hospital structure, and communication style for the procedure you need? I recommend verifying that the surgeon is a Full Member of the SBCP (Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery), as this credential reflects complete training: 6 years of medical school, 2 years of general surgery residency, and 3 years of plastic surgery specialization. Additionally, check the CRM website to confirm that the doctor holds the RQE (Specialist Qualification Registration) in plastic surgery.

I am a Full Member of the SBCP and also of the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons), with training from the Ivo Pitanguy School and additional training in the United States. My CRM-PR is 17,388 and my RQE is 15,688 -- you can verify this information at any time on the website of the Regional Council of Medicine of Parana.

My practice focuses on selected procedures in which I have dedicated specific training and experience. For the face: Deep Plane facelift with fat grafting, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), structural rhinoplasty, submental (double chin) liposuction, and otoplasty. For the body: female intimate surgery, including labiaplasty using the Wedge technique, for which I trained directly under Dr. Gary Alter, the creator of the technique.

This focus helps me plan each case in detail, while still making clear that outcomes depend on anatomy, healing, risk factors, and realistic expectations.

My consultation is thorough and lasts an average of 40 minutes -- quite different from quick 10-minute appointments. During this time, I perform a complete assessment of your face or body, review your medical history, discuss your goals with full transparency, and, when applicable, run a computer simulation of the expected outcome.

I recommend bringing recent test results, a list of your current medications, and any questions you may have written down. Please arrive without makeup so I can properly evaluate your skin. At the end of the consultation, you will leave with a personalized surgical plan and a detailed estimate, with no hidden fees.

My initial consultation fee is $140. For patients who have already had procedures at our office, the fee for a new evaluation is $70. This investment reflects the depth of the assessment: I dedicate an average of 40 minutes exclusively to you, including a complete physical examination, analysis of proportions, and, in many cases, a digital simulation of the expected result.

I consider the consultation the most important step in the entire surgical process because it is where we build together the plan that will guide your outcome. A thorough consultation avoids surprises and ensures that your expectations are aligned with what the surgery can realistically achieve.

Yes, I regularly welcome patients from all over Brazil and abroad. Approximately 40% of my patients travel from other cities, including Sao Paulo, Curitiba, Maringa, and Cascavel, and from countries such as the United States, Portugal, and Japan. Medical tourism in Brazil for cosmetic surgery requires careful planning, so I offer virtual video consultations as the initial evaluation, allowing me to understand your case and assess the feasibility of the procedure before you travel.

My team also coordinates all logistics for out-of-town patients: hotel recommendations near the office, transportation guidance from the airport, and specialized follow-up care for those who need to stay in Londrina during the initial recovery period.

I offer several payment options for your convenience:

• Payment in full: Cash, PIX, or wire transfer
• Debit card: All major networks
• Credit card: Up to 10 interest-free installments (Visa, Mastercard, Elo, American Express)
• Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, or USDC

A detailed estimate, including all costs (surgeon's fee, surgical team, anesthesia, hospital stay, and materials), is provided during the consultation. There are no hidden fees or surprises.

Surgical safety starts with proper indication, pre-operative testing, anesthesia planning, and hospital infrastructure. All my surgeries are performed at Hospital do Coracao (Heart Hospital), which holds certification from Anvisa (Brazil's health regulatory agency), has monitoring equipment, anesthesiology support, ICU availability, and protocols for managing complications.

Additionally, patients undergo a pre-operative workup including lab tests and cardiac clearance when indicated. I operate in a hospital setting because elective surgery should be planned with safety criteria from the beginning.

Recovery time varies by procedure and patient. In general: the Deep Plane facelift requires 14 to 21 days of social downtime; rhinoplasty, 7 to 14 days with a nasal splint; blepharoplasty, 7 to 10 days; and intimate surgery, 7 to 14 days with 45 days of pelvic rest.

I personally oversee recovery, with follow-up appointments included and direct access to me via WhatsApp for guidance. My team also provides instructions on lymphatic drainage massage and procedure-specific care.

It depends on the procedure, anatomy, aging, and healing. The Deep Plane facelift, for example, may provide long-lasting improvement, but it does not stop aging. Structural rhinoplasty aims for stable support, while the nose and skin still change over time. Blepharoplasty may require revision years later depending on natural skin aging.

During the consultation, I explain what is realistic in the short and long term for each procedure, including limitations and risks.
