About Dr. Ana Carolina de Nadai
Dr. Ana Carolina de Nadai is a Brazilian plastic surgeon specializing in body contouring surgery, with particular expertise in upper limb aesthetics and the surgical treatment of lipedema. Her clinical and academic work focuses on circumferential arm liposuction, skin retraction mechanisms, and the management of upper extremity deformities associated with adipose tissue disorders and skin laxity.
She has developed a surgical approach centered on circumferential tissue mobilization and mechanically guided skin accommodation, with special interest in postoperative tissue behavior and physiologic skin retraction without the routine use of energy-based devices. Her work explores the biomechanical principles involved in upper limb contour remodeling and their clinical implications in both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.
Dr. de Nadai lectures internationally on upper limb contour surgery and lipedema management and is currently involved in scientific publications addressing circumferential liposuction techniques, postoperative skin dynamics, and surgical strategies for patients with upper extremity lipedema.
