- Cervicofacial Lift: Cervico-Facial Lift with Fat GraftingWith the loss of 21kg and years of hormonal fluctuations, Ana Luísa's face showed a loss of definition, sagging tissues and marked flaccidity in the neck. The facelift made it possible to reposition the deep structures of the face, restore support and firmness, correct the natural sagging of the tissues and recover the mandibular contour. Fat grafting restored volume to areas that had lost structure, restoring proportion and naturalness.
Upper Blepharoplasty: Excess skin was removed from the upper eyelids, which weighed down the eyes and accentuated a tired expression. The procedure restored lightness, openness to the eyes and a rejuvenated appearance. - Upper BlepharoplastyExcess skin was removed from the upper eyelids, which weighed down the eyes and accentuated a tired expression.

- Weight LossAna Luísa's transformation began with the support of endocrinologist Dr Carolina Lalanda, who identified that her weight gain was not just the result of habits, but of a history marked by hormonal changes, eight unfinished pregnancies, strong emotional distress and breast cancer. With a structured clinical plan and close medical follow-up, Ana Luísa initially lost 12kg, an essential result for regaining health, security and self-esteem, as well as being crucial for preparing for surgery. This weight loss made it possible to better reveal the areas of sagging and asymmetry that would later be treated by the Plastic Surgery teams, marking the beginning of her true transformation. At the end of the entire transformation process, Ana Luísa had lost 21kg.

- Medium Liposuction and Abdominoplasty - After years of hormonal changes, eight unfinished pregnancies and rapid weight loss, Ana Luísa had a significant abdominal apron, marked sagging and a fold formed in her abdomen, which made her extremely unhappy. The combination of medium liposuction and abdominoplasty made it possible to remove excess skin, refine the abdominal contour and restore firmness, restoring functionality, comfort and harmony to her torso.
ANA LUÍSA'S STORY
Ana Luísa's transformation represents one of the most intense clinical and emotional journeys monitored by LMR. The patient sought help after years marked by consecutive pregnancy losses, hormonal imbalances, deep emotional impact and a breast cancer diagnosis that completely altered her relationship with her body.
After losing 12kg with endocrinological monitoring, her face and body showed marked sagging, loss of volume and asymmetries - especially in the breasts after radiotherapy, and in the abdomen, where excess skin and fat caused daily discomfort.
To restore facial definition, freshness and firmness, we carried out a Cervico-Facial Lift using the deep plane facelift technique, combined with Fat Grafting and Upper Blepharoplasty to rejuvenate the face and open up the eyes. The facial contour became more youthful, harmonious and structured.
In terms of the body, lipobdominoplasty made it possible to remove the abdominal apron, correct sagging and create a more defined and functional contour, restoring balance to the silhouette after years of weight fluctuation and demanding hormonal processes.
This transformation is not just aesthetic. It's the result of strength, resilience and the desire to feel like herself again. At the end of the process, Ana Luísa lost a total of 21kg and found in the mirror the vitality she believed she had lost - and she takes with her a new version of herself: more confident, lighter and happier.
