Brazil: the world capital of plastic surgery
Brazil isn't an emerging option; it's the global leader. It performs roughly 2.3 million aesthetic surgical procedures a year — more than any other country — built on seventy years of surgical heritage, a culture that treats aesthetic care as normal healthcare, and a specialist pool fifteen times the size of Australia's.
Two cities, equivalent surgical care
Nuviya matches Australians with surgeons in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The surgery is equivalent in either; the difference is the recovery around it.
Rio de Janeiro
Warm, outdoors and beachfront. Brazil's surgical heartland, with the flat, walkable Zona Sul making the gentle daily walks recovery needs easy. Mild, dry autumn–winter (Apr–Sep, ~22–27°C) is ideal recovery weather.

São Paulo
Fast, cosmopolitan and closer in feel to Melbourne. Home to the top-ranked hospitals on the continent, a milder, more temperate climate, and slightly cheaper accommodation than Rio de Janeiro's Zona Sul.
