About Dr. Claudia Machado
Dr. Claudia Machado is a Specialist Plastic Surgeon in Dubai who trained in Brazil, a country known for its body contouring expertise. She earned her medical degree with top honours from the Federal University of Santa Catarina, trained in general surgery, and completed plastic surgery and microsurgery training at Santa Casa de Misericórdia in Porto Alegre in 2000, followed by a fellowship in burns and trauma. In Dubai she sees patients at CosmeSurge’s Jumeirah hospital and at Al Shunnar Plastic Surgery. Body contouring and liposuction are among her main areas of work, often combined with fat transfer to the buttocks, breasts or face when a patient wants a reshaped silhouette. Her reconstructive background means she plans surgery with close attention to safety and tissue quality.
Techniques Used
The technique depends on the area treated and the amount of fat, and varies slightly between her two clinics:
- VASER liposuction: ultrasound energy loosens fat before removal and supports a smoother result
- Laser-assisted liposuction: laser energy to melt fat and encourage skin tightening
- Tumescent liposuction: the standard method, using a numbing and fluid solution to reduce bleeding
- Liposuction with fat transfer: removed fat can be used to reshape other areas
Additional Services
- Body: tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and body contouring after pregnancy or weight loss
- Fat transfer to the body and face
- Non-surgical: Botox, dermal fillers, PRP and CO2 laser therapy
- Reconstructive plastic surgery

The clinic is licensed by the Dubai Health Authority as a multi-specialty polyclinic and has a team of surgeons trained in the USA and Brazil. Liposuction patients have a pre-anaesthetic consultation and blood tests there before surgery, and the operation itself takes place in a hospital operating theatre. The clinic does not publish before-and-after photos online for privacy and shows them during the consultation instead. It is open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
