Clinic Domingos De Paola Neto (DPN) is a private plastic surgery center in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The facility focuses on body contouring and breast enhancement. It serves patients from across Brazil and abroad.
Accreditations and Medical Leadership
The clinic is an accredited member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). These certifications confirm adherence to recognized safety and ethical standards.
Dr. Domingos De Paola Neto leads the medical team. He graduated first in his class from the University of Grande Rio. He completed his residency in general surgery, then spent three years specializing in plastic surgery at the Federal Hospital of State Servants. Dr. Neto also developed the Mommy Makeover Expert Fellowship, a training program for other plastic surgeons.
Body Contouring and Specialized Procedures
The clinic uses Natural Definition planning. This approach avoids exaggerated results by working with each patient's muscle structure and fat distribution. Specialists treat common changes after pregnancy or major weight loss.
Surgical options include:
- Mommy Makeover – A personalized combination of breast and abdominal surgeries.
- Natural Definition Liposuction – Targeted fat removal that preserves anatomical transitions.
- Natural Definition Abdominoplasty – A tummy tuck addressing loose skin and muscle separation.
- Internal Bra (Sutiã Interno) – Internal sutures that support breast tissue and implants.
- Gluteal Fat Transfer – Fat repositioning to improve hip and buttock shape.
Male-specific contouring is also available. These procedures target localized fat in the chest, abdomen, and flanks. Surgeons adapt techniques to suit male anatomy.
Advanced Surgical Technologies
The clinic uses advanced platforms to refine results and support tissue retraction. These tools improve skin tightness or fat removal precision when needed:
- VASER – Ultrasonic energy that emulsifies fat before removal, protecting surrounding tissue.
- Argoplasma – A system for skin retraction during liposuction.
- Vibrofit – Mechanical assistance for smoother fat extraction.
- Morpheus – A radiofrequency device for non-surgical skin remodeling.
The team performs individual evaluations and pre-operative exams for every patient. For complex abdominal wall repairs, surgeons may use support mesh (Tela de Sustentação) during tummy tucks.
International Patient Services and Recovery
The clinic supports patients traveling from abroad. Photo Consultations (Consulta Fotográfica) allow international patients to receive an early assessment before traveling to Rio de Janeiro.
A dedicated Recovery House is available – a private apartment designed for postoperative comfort. It provides a controlled environment for rest during initial healing. Additional services include:
- Journey planning and logistical coordination
- Airport transfers
- Postoperative support team
- Multilingual staff speaking Portuguese, English, and Spanish
- Physiotherapy and nutritional guidance
Anesthesiologists, nurses, and physiotherapists monitor recovery throughout. Care begins at first contact and continues through final follow-up.
