1) First Contact and Preliminary Assessment: After your first contact, we will send you a form for you to provide us with detailed information about your case, needs and expectations. This will help us better understand how we can meet your needs.

2) Videoconference with Dr. Gobbo: We will schedule a videoconference for a pre-assessment. During this virtual consultation, Dr. Gobbo will clarify your doubts and provide guidance on the necessary pre-surgical examinations, which you can carry out at your place of residence.

3) Sending test results and prior evaluation: You can send us your test results by e-mail, allowing us to carry out a prior evaluation. This helps us save time and optimize your stay in Rio de Janeiro, as we can administer medication or carry out the necessary procedures before your arrival.

4) Travel planning: If your flight lasts 4 hours or longer, we recommend that you plan your arrival in Rio de Janeiro at least 48 hours in advance of the surgery, to avoid the risk of thrombosis.

5) On-site consultation: Before surgery, it is essential that you have a personal consultation with Dr. Gobbo. This consultation goes beyond appearance, allowing for a detailed assessment, including factors such as skin texture and degree of sagging. We will schedule your consultation for a date between your arrival in Brazil and the date of surgery, ensuring complete and personalized preparation.

6) Travel requirements: Check with the Brazilian Consulate in your country about specific visa requirements or documentation needed for your stay in Brazil.

7) Personalized Service Package: We can help you organize a personalized service package, including accommodation, transportation, meals and even interpretation services, if necessary.

8) Post-Operative Arrangements: To make things easier for you, we will provide all the necessary items for your post-operative period, such as girdles, medication and any other equipment needed to optimize your recovery.

9) Recovery and Post-Operative Care: The recovery period varies according to the type of surgery. During the initial assessment appointment via videoconference, you will receive instructions on how long you will need to stay in Rio de Janeiro for your surgery. It is essential to follow the medical guidelines and respect the deadlines and mobility limitations to ensure the best results.

10) Specialized Post-Operative Care Team: If necessary, we can help you hire a specialized post-operative care team, including nurses and physiotherapists.
