I had some consultations in Brazil and have my procedure set for May 22nd 2014. I am very excited. I will have done lipo of front, back, inner and outer thighs. I also will have around 400 CC of implants and BBL.
I have been seeing some physicians in Miami area, please see my other post. In Brazil I visited 4 PS: 2 in Rio de Janeiro and 2 in Belo Horizonte.

Glad you found a surgeon you like and trust to perform your surgery. What type of implants will you be getting? Saline, silicone, gummy bear? Will you have someone to help you during your recovery? Here is a helpful list of recovery supplies you may want to have on hand. Keep us posted as the day draws near!

I will be getting Silicone, here in Brazil is extremely rare the use of saline implants. My mother will help me. Actually I have to explain that I am Brazilian and have been living overseas for the last 6 years. I have been living in Miami for 3 years now. I had quite a few consultations with PS in Miami. I will write later about it.

Dr. Rafael Rezende de Gouveia in Belo Horizonte, Brazil

I have been in Belo Horizonte to consult with Dr. Leandro Garcia Carvalho e Dr. Rafael Rezende de Gouveia.

My impressions:
Dr. Rafael Rezende de Gouveia is very nice and very knowledgeable. He is a great surgeon if you have a Brazilian set of mind. He is conservative in his surgical approach and will not perform some procedure he believes will not give you the best outcome.
My cousin had a BA, mini tummy tuck and liposuction done with him. Her body looks great.

Dr. Rafael quote was:
BA = 6000 Brazilian Reais [BRL] ( as today it would be 6000/2.2 = 2,728 USD)
Liposculpture of abdomen, flanks (love hands), and inner and outer thighs = 6000 Brazilian Reais ( as today it would be 6000/2.2 = 2,728 USD)

So the total of this procedures would be 12,000 Brazilian Reais + 1,500 for implants = 13,500 BRL (6,136 USD).

he would give 2 garments and the foams.

Dr. Leandro Garcia Carvalho

Dr. Leandro Garcia Carvalho is well know here in Belo Horizonte. He was very nice and answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. I really really really liked him.
The only reason that I did not end up doing the procedure with him was because his office is always crowded and busy. I needed this procedures to be done a.s.a.p because despite of being Brazilian I live in Miami and am here on vacation.

Here in Brazil it is not usual physicians performing consultation through e-mail or things like that. It has to be in person.

One different thing too is that the Brazilian Board of Plastic Surgery does not allow the PS to put pictures of before and after on the net. You only can see if you go there in person. It kind of sucks.

Back to Dr. Leandro Garcia Carvalho. So, I just could not feel at ease with all this hassle to get to him. The phone is always busy and so on.

However, he has very nice prices. The quote he gave me was:

Full tummy tuck, Lipo of back and thighs, and BA silicone 400 = 11.900 BRL (as for today exchange rate it would be 11.900/2.2 = 5,409 USD)
