Founded in 2025, Dr. Ricardo Zambenedetti's practice is a specialized plastic surgery clinic. It has evaluation centers in Porto Alegre and Carazinho. Surgical procedures take place in accredited partner hospitals across the region to ensure hospital-level safety. The clinic operates as a single-practitioner facility focused on aesthetic and reconstructive treatments.
Qualifications and Medical Leadership
Dr. Ricardo Zambenedetti leads the practice. His training includes a two-year general surgery residency at Grupo Hospitalar Conceição in Porto Alegre. He then completed a three-year plastic surgery residency at Hospital Federal dos Servidores do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. He also holds postgraduate studies in plastic surgery from Universidade Gama Filho.
Dr. Zambenedetti holds official board certifications, including CREMERS 30424 and RQE 25391. These credentials verify his authorization to perform complex plastic and reconstructive procedures. He personally conducts all preoperative evaluations and surgical planning.
Facial and Reconstructive Surgery
The clinic offers several facial rejuvenation and corrective options. Structured open rhinoplasty repairs cartilage and improves breathing alongside aesthetic changes. This method focuses on internal restructuring for more durable results. Other facial procedures include:
- Facelift – a four-hour surgery to address skin laxity.
- Minilifting – a less extensive version for mild signs of aging.
- Blepharoplasty – eyelid surgery lasting one to three hours.
- Otoplasty – correction of prominent ears with anesthesia tailored by age.
Recovery typically involves stitch removal after 10 to 14 days. Most patients return to routine activities within three weeks.
Body Contouring and Breast Procedures
Body contouring treatments address excess skin and localized fat. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) removes tissue below the navel and restores abdominal muscles. This procedure usually requires a 24-hour hospital stay. Other options include liposuction, liposculpture, and lifts for the arms or thighs.
Breast surgery covers both enhancement and reduction. For mastopexy (breast lift), the surgeon reorganizes tissue and repositions areolas to restore shape. Breast procedures include:
- Breast augmentation – implant placement based on a detailed physical exam.
- Breast reduction – removal of glandular tissue and skin for physical comfort.
- Gynecomastia correction – treatment for male breast enlargement.
Most breast surgeries last about three hours under general anesthesia. Patients typically resume physical activities after one month if they avoid heavy arm use.
Intimate Surgery and Specialized Care
The clinic offers labiaplasty as an outpatient procedure. This 45-minute surgery reduces the labia minora to resolve discomfort or aesthetic concerns. The surgeon uses absorbable sutures and local anesthesia with sedation, so patients return home the same day. Most resume usual activities within three to four days.
Patient Services and Care Pathway
International patients can access services with support in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Care begins with an evaluation appointment in Porto Alegre or Carazinho. During this visit, Dr. Zambenedetti performs a physical examination and orders any necessary diagnostic tests.
Postoperative care includes specific recovery timelines and guidance for every patient. For many procedures, swelling and sensitivity decrease significantly within two to three weeks. The clinic provides long-term monitoring and advice on surgical garments to support healing.
