Anyone know about PSs in Brazil?

I had my weight loss surgery earlier this year in Brazil (Dr. Marchesini) and have been 100% happy with the results.  I'm beginning to look for a plastic surgeon now, and would like to return to Brazil.  Does anyone know anything about Dr. Cavalcanti, Dr. Tolazzi, Dr. Zamprogno, or any other board-certified PS in Brazil?  
Many thanks,  Susan

My doctor recommended that I take a trip to go see Dr. Ivo Pitanguy in Brazil. Check him out in Google.

Thank you--I will definitely check him out.  It seems that two of the doctors I mentioned in my original question studied with Dr. Pitanguy!              Susan

Whoops.  I just did some research on Dr. Pitanguy, and discovered that he's 83 years old.  Can he possibly still be operating?  No matter how experienced, I don't think I'd want an 83-year-old cutting into my body.  However, I'm now even more interested in researching the doctors who have studied with him.    Susan

Susan,

Follow this link http://www.pitanguy.com.br/en/clinica/clinica.htm

I think it means that Dr. Pitanguy is the chief of the surgeons, but that the staff does the work under his eye. The clinic is run by Dr. Gisela Pitanguy according to the website.

Hope this helps.
