Dr. Ivo Helcio Jardim de Campos Pitanguy is based in Rio de Janeiro. Born in 1926, he studied at the Bethesda North Hospital in Connecticut before moving to Europe to learn plastic surgery. In 1953, he moved back to Brazil where he worked in a hospital. In 1961, he treated burn victims for weeks after a circus tent burned down, hurting 2,500 people. He later established the Clinica Ivo Pitanguy, a private clinic in Botafogo in Rio de Janeiro where he trains other surgeons and operates on clients.
