About Me

I grew up surrounded by medicine, and I always knew I would work with my hands — drawing, precision and small details came naturally to me. Plastic surgery became the place where these skills made sense. During my training I explored reconstructive work, but found a stronger connection with aesthetic surgery, especially breast, intimate and facial procedures.

After over fifteen years practising in Brazil and performing more than three hundred surgeries, I moved to London to expand my work on an international level. Integrating into a new clinical environment shaped the way I practise today — with technical discipline, calm attention and a commitment to offering care that feels responsible, clear and true to each woman’s intentions.
