LVC plastic surgery (Luiz Victor)

LVC Plastic Surgery is a private medical practice established in 2015 by Dr. Luiz Victor Carneiro Jr. The clinic operates two branches in Rio de Janeiro, in Ipanema and Barra da Tijuca. These facilities provide spaces for consultations, dressings, and pre-operative exams.

Accreditations and Professional Standpoints

The clinic holds international recognitions that signal quality to global patients. It is accredited by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). These affiliations require strict safety and ethical guidelines in aesthetic medicine.

Dr. Luiz Victor Carneiro Jr is a Full Member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. He previously served as an assistant to Professor Ivo Pitanguy, one of the most recognized figures in plastic surgery history.

Aesthetic and Reconstructive Specialties

The practice specializes in facial rejuvenation, breast surgery, and body contouring. The medical team includes anesthesiologists registered with the Brazilian Society of Anesthesiology (SBA).

Facial and Body Procedures

The surgical team performs various procedures to address facial aging and body shape:

• Facelift (cervico-facial lifting) to treat neck and facial laxity with natural-looking results.
• Rhinoplasty and Otoplasty for reshaping the nose or ears.
• Lipominiabdomen – a technique for patients with localized fat and mild skin laxity.
• Abdominoplasty using a cesarean-scar approach to remove excess skin and repair muscle separation.
• Mentoplasty – chin enhancement using silicone or flexible implants through small incisions.

Breast Surgery Program

Breast procedures are tailored to individual goals and medical history. Surgeons perform mastopexy (breast lift) to lift sagging tissue. They can reduce areola size during the same session.

Augmentation uses high-quality silicone implants. Reduction surgery is available for patients of any age seeking relief from heavy breast tissue.

Surgical Environment and Technology

All surgical operations take place at Hospital Procardíaco, a general hospital open 24 hours a day. This partnership provides access to an advanced surgical center and a high-standard Intensive Care Unit (CTI). The CTI occupies more than one floor, so immediate support is available if complex care is needed.

The surgical facilities use specific technologies to improve outcomes and patient safety:

• Digital lipoaspirator for precise fat removal during contouring procedures.
• Patient warming systems and special air conditioning for temperature control during surgery.
• Sterilization controls using both chemical and biological validation.
• Modern LED lighting and advanced anesthesia safety equipment.

Because the hospital operates around the clock, patients have access to a full technical team throughout recovery.

Services for International Patients

The clinic has experience managing surgical processes for patients traveling from abroad. The team includes assistants and instrument nurses to provide continuous support. Online consultations allow patients to discuss their medical history and goals before traveling to Brazil.

Staff members speak three languages:

• English
• Portuguese
• Spanish

Patients receive complete follow-up from the initial evaluation through final discharge after surgery.
