According to the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), the country surpassed the mark of 2 million surgeries in 2023, with liposuction being one of the most performed procedures— closely followed by breast implants and abdominoplasty. This trend is also reflected in the practice of plastic surgeon and member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), Humberto Pinto, who highlights classic liposuction and liposuction with Renuvion as the most sought-after techniques by his patients. "Renuvion is a technology that combines the removal of localized fat to treat skin laxity," explains the doctor. For him, the differential lies precisely in the versatility of liposuction, which can be combined with other surgeries to achieve excellent aesthetic and functional results. "Classic liposuction is the most used. It is an extremely versatile procedure that can be associated with breast implant placement, abdominoplasty, and gluteoplasty. Today, practically all surgeries we perform involve some degree of associated liposuction," explains the doctor. Dr. Humberto also reports that with the increase in bariatric surgeries in recent years, the practice has also seen a growing number of patients who, after weight loss, seek plastic surgery as a way to improve body contour and correct laxity, especially in the abdominal area.
