Medically reviewed by Dr. Thiago Lima Barreto da Serra e Silva, Anesthesiologist, CRM-PR 28659 - Curitiba, Brazil.

Brazil is one of the world's leading destinations for plastic surgery. According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Brazil ranks among the top countries globally for aesthetic procedures and plastic surgeons, with approximately 2.3 million surgeries carried out in 2024 alone. It ranks second globally for total cosmetic procedures, behind only the United States. The country has over 7,000 licensed plastic surgeons, and its medical tourism market, valued at $3.7 billion in 2025, is growing at nearly 18% annually.
Plastic surgery procedures that cost $10,000–$15,000 in the US routinely run $3,000–$6,500 in Brazil, without sacrificing quality. Brazilian surgeons are internationally recognized for body contouring, liposuction, and procedures like the Brazilian Butt Lift techniques they helped pioneer.

How to Choose the Right Plastic Surgeon in Brazil: Tips by Experts
Certification of the surgeon
Choose a surgeon who is board-certified by the SBCP (Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica) or by the relevant Brazilian specialty board for the specific procedure and body area being treated.
Ask to see before-and-after photos
A reputable surgeon will always have a portfolio. Look for cases that are similar to your own goals in terms of body type and procedure.
Confirm the surgical facility is accredited
Clinics serving international patients should meet the all the Brazilian health authorities standards, including having a certified physician, who is legally responsible for continuously enforcing those standards. Accreditation by international bodies (ISO or JCI) is a strong additional signal.
Understand your recovery plan
Ask how long you should stay in Brazil, when you can fly back, what follow-up is included, and how complications are handled after you return home.
Know the complete pricing
Very low prices may exclude important costs such as tests, anaesthesia, hospital stay, garments, medication, or revision support.
