ISAPS Body Masters, Barcelona, July 2026.
ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) Body Masters is an elite course open only to board-certified plastic surgeons from around the world. It sits a level above the annual congress: a closed-door setting where the leading names in body-contouring plastic surgery gather for high-level technical exchange.
In July 2026, Neiva Cimini was invited to speak at this event in Barcelona, alongside surgeons from around the world.
What this means: a non-medical specialist was invited to speak in the most demanding space in body-contouring plastic surgery. The drainage technique itself is not the point: surgeons recognize that the surgical result is completed during recovery, and that she sets the clinical standard for that recovery.
A trajectory built on practice, not on titles.
Arrival in Belgium: starting from zero
No valid local credential, no client base, no network. A complete rebuild of a clinical practice in a new market, in a new language. The starting point of the European trajectory.
Post-operative recovery work in Belgium: over 500 sessions
Ten years of continuous clinical practice in Belgium. Progressive specialization in post-operative plastic surgery recovery and lymphatic dysfunctions. A reference point for complex cases (fibrosis, seroma, complications other professionals could not resolve).
Lipedema training: Brazilian Lipedema Association
Training under Prof. Jaqueline Baioco, a leading Brazilian reference in lipedema. Participation in LipeWorld, the international lipedema congress held in Rome.
Clinical partnership in Brussels
Start of regular sessions inside a plastic surgery center in Brussels, supporting post-operative recovery for highly complex surgeries, including microsurgical lymphatic anastomosis.
Doctors trained in Belgium and Germany
First paid training commissioned by surgeons who wanted to bring the post-operative protocol into their own teams. Three surgeons trained so far. Interest in replicating the model at a center in Germany.
Marie Claire Belgium: editorial mention
Quoted in an editorial feature by the Belgian edition of Marie Claire: "Drie pre-party treatments die écht werken" (Three pre-party treatments that actually work). A journalistic mention, not paid promotion.
Founding of the Maison Ipanema Institute
Formal establishment of the institute as an independent structure for sessions and training: the home of the Neiva Cimini Method®.
Speaker at ISAPS Body Masters, Barcelona
Invitation confirmed in writing to speak at the ISAPS elite course. One of the rare non-medical specialists to take part in that space.
