Philosophy

Each patient is unique and entitled to personalised treatment.

So Dr Ricardo Carvalho's philosophy is based on providing confidence, integrity and security to his patients, while restoring the body's shape and functions.

Their aim is to give you a realistic result, whether you're having cosmetic or reconstructive surgery.

Dr Ricardo performs his procedures at the Sanfil Clinic in Coimbra, with certified anaesthetists, in an operating theatre with all the safety conditions, with a recovery room and hospitalisation.
