ABOUT US
YOUR PLASTIC SURGEON
Dr. Fabio Zamprogno
Dr. Fabio specializes in total body reconstruction after massive weight loss. He has performed successful plastic reconstructive surgery for 450 post-bariatric surgery patients, including 150 American patients. Dr. Fabio has had a highly successful practice in Vitoria for more than 20 years, pioneering post-breast cancer reconstruction, individual hair transplantation and now, post bariatric surgery body reconstruction.

Dr. Fabio received his medical degree in 1981 from the Universidade Federal do Espirito Santo. After receiving his degree Dr. Fabio completed seven years of residency: three years of General Surgery, then, at the Instituto Nacional deCancer in Rio de Janeiro, one year of Reconstructive Head and Neck and three years of Plastic Surgery in general, including a thirty day internship with Dr. Ivo Pitanguy.

Dr. Fabio's vast experience has allowed him to develop special reconstructive techniques that include "flap procedures" that allow the usage of the patient's own tissue for breast and butt enhancement (rather than implants) during breast lift and lower body lift procedures. Dr. Fabio's special arm and inner thigh lift techniques allow for true sculpting/reduction of these areas yet avoid disruption of the delicate lymph node system that can result in permanent, severe swelling if not used.

Dr. Fabio is a member of Sociedade Brasileira da Cirurgia Plastica (Brazilian equivalent of ASPS), The International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS), and a member of Sociedade Brasileira de Restauração Capilar (Brazilian Society of Hair Restoration).
