Our Take

Passy is one of the most experienced names in Rio plastic surgery, with a practice operating continuously since 1981 and ASPS certification that many international patients look for. The decades-long track record is reassuring for BBL and liposuction. The clinic's web presence is dated and its SSL certificate currently shows a warning, so coordinate directly and verify credentials before booking.
