Ivo Pitanguy Clinic

"I had a great experience with Antonio P Taege. I did a lot of research before hand and I had a couple of meetings with him in Brazil because I am there often. Antonio speaks English Portuguese and French fluently. We decided on a plan as to what would be accomplished. I simply wanted to look better And not as tired. I’m 75 years old and I didn’t expect to come out looking like a 50 year old. All I wanted was to look better basically for most of the rest of my life. I think it worked out. I went into a great hospital, Rio‘s best, and was treated like a king for three days and then returned home and received daily assistance from his team who worked on my face and made sure the swelling went down and the hematoma disappeared. I was a little worried because it took six weeks for it to Come out right but now it looks great and I think that for someone who is a lot younger than I am, it would’ve looked great much sooner. In any event, I posted some photos below there’s a before and then after, so let’s see if you can guess which one is which"

"My first contact with Dr. Antônio Pitanguy was through a video conference, during which he answered all my questions and immediately inspired confidence in his ability to deliver an excellent result. He and his team have established a comprehensive support system that accompanies you from the moment you arrive in Rio until the final day of your recovery. At every stage—before, during, and after the procedure—someone is always available to assist you. I am extremely happy with the entire experience, and the results have been truly outstanding."

"An Unforgettable Experience with Dr. Antonio Pitanguy – True Excellence at Every Step I am 60 years old, 146 pounds, 5’8”, and I can confidently say that I am in love with my results. Dr. Antonio Pitanguy is not only a highly skilled surgeon, but also a master of his craft — a distinguished professional known for his precision, excellence, and unwavering dedication to patient care. I chose Dr. Antonio Pitanguy because I knew he would bring unmatched attention to detail — and I was absolutely right. From our very first virtual consultation, I felt completely at ease. He explained every aspect of the procedure with care, answered all my questions thoroughly, and gave me total confidence that I was making the right decision. Although I’m originally from Brazil, I’ve lived in the U.S. for the past 34 years, so returning for surgery was a significant step. From the moment I arrived, I was treated with warmth, respect, and the highest level of professionalism. Fabio picked me up at the airport and brought me to my first in-person consultation. Dr. Antonio Pitanguy again took the time to go through every detail of my surgery with clarity and patience. I underwent a combination of abdominoplasty, mammoplasty, and liposuction, and I felt fully prepared and supported throughout the entire process. The hospital where I stayed was exceptional — it felt more like a five-star hotel than a medical facility. I had a private nurse with me at all times, part of the prestigious Dr. Pitanguy team, which brought me tremendous peace of mind and comfort. Before surgery, the anesthesiologist, Dr. Ely, met with my husband and me to ensure we were fully informed and comfortable. The anesthesia went perfectly — I woke up clear-headed, calm, and without any nausea or discomfort. Post-operative care was equally remarkable. Each day, I received lymphatic drainage sessions from Joelice, who was not only skilled but also compassionate — even assisting me with showers and making sure I was always comfortable. About a week after surgery, another doctor came to check for blood clots and custom-fitted me with new compression socks. Every detail of my care was handled with extraordinary precision and thoughtfulness. Throughout my entire stay in Brazil, Dr. Antonio Pitanguy personally checked in with me daily. His care didn’t stop at the surgical result — he was deeply invested in my comfort, healing, and emotional well-being. I felt seen, heard, and truly cared for every step of the way. The most emotional moment came when I saw my results for the first time. I was overwhelmed. The transformation was beyond anything I had hoped for — natural and refined. I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Dr. Antonio Pitanguy and his entire team."

"My experience with Dr. Pitanguy’s office was amazing. For the moment I made the first contact to schedule an online appointment I have notice they are an A+++ team. I live in the United States and Dr. Pitanguy send me the required lab tests in English and I got it all done here in the U.S. that saved me some time. They speak various idioms what helps immensely with patients coming from abroad. They were super helpful finding the best accommodations for my two weeks stay, the hotel even offers discounts for dr. Pitanguy’s patients. When I actually got to meet all of them in person it felt like we were old friends. Your Surgery will be performed in one of the best hospitals in Brazil. Dr Pitanguy’s office offers you a complete concierge service, I mean complete!!! In the United States that would be probably be in the 5 figures. His fees are very fair for the work of art he delivers. Dr. Antônio Pitanguy really shows the love for his work and it reflects on how he answers all of your questions, putting your mind at ease. You leave your appointment knowing that you are going to be in really good hands not only his but his surgical team as well. I highly recommend Dr. Pitanguy , besides he comes from a long line of excellent doctors , his father is a great plastic Surgeon and his grandfather is one of the most well known plastic surgeons in the world “Ivo Pitanguy”. Thank You Dr. Pitanguy and your Amazing Staff!"
