Clinic Nishimoto is a private multi-specialty facility established in 2023. It operates two branches in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. One unit is in Belo Horizonte, the other in Betim. The clinic focuses on plastic surgery and advanced aesthetic medicine.
Accreditations and Professional Recognitions
The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation, an international certification for medical tourism and patient safety. It is also recognized by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). Dr. Gabriel Gontijo, a surgeon at the clinic, achieved the highest state scores in plastic surgery training from 2017 to 2019.
Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring
Specialists perform abdominal surgeries to restore contour and address skin laxity. The clinic offers several abdominoplasty techniques:
- Classic and mini abdominoplasty
- Lipoabdominoplasty
- Extended or circumferential abdominoplasty
- Anchor abdominoplasty
Tummy tuck procedures typically last 3 to 5 hours. Hospital stays range from 12 to 48 hours, depending on the technique. Surgeons also perform liposuction and Lipo HD using mechanical, ultrasound, or laser methods.
Breast procedures include augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy. The breast lift with implants repositions the areola and nipple while adding volume. Each surgery is planned around individual anatomy, including implant size and placement.
For male patients, the clinic treats gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts). Treatment involves gland removal, liposuction, or both. This addresses volume caused by hormonal changes or excess fatty tissue.
Facial Rejuvenation and Intimate Surgery
Facial procedures focus on softening wrinkles and reshaping contours. Specialists perform Ritidoplástia (facelift) to reduce excess skin on the face and neck. Other options include blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), rhinoplasty, and bichectomy (cheek surgery).
The clinic is a regional center for labiaplasty and intimate aesthetics. This procedure reduces enlarged labia minora while preserving the protective function of the vaginal entrance. Surgery takes about one hour under local anesthesia with light sedation. Patients typically go home the same day.
Specialized Medical Team
The surgical team includes Dr. Fabrício Nishimoto and Dr. Gabriel Gontijo. Dr. Nishimoto completed his plastic surgery training at Hospital das Clínicas da UFMG. Dr. Gontijo trained at the same institution after a general surgery residency at Hospital Odilon Behrens.
Integrated Patient Services
A multidisciplinary team supports recovery. Patients can see endocrinology, physiotherapy, and nutrition specialists. A clinic doctor performs surgical risk assessments and reviews pre-operative tests before any procedure.
Post-operative care includes guidance on positioning, wound management, and compression garment use. Staff speak Portuguese, English, and Spanish. International patients can access support services to coordinate their care across both locations.
