The economic crisis in Brazil and the rising of the dollar quotation to nearby R$4 has also made the country lose its position as the top one country in the plastic surgery niche market. In 2014, when the Brazilian economy grew 0.1%, its worst performance in five years, a total of 1.34 million surgeries were carried out, but still, 148 thousand less compared to the previous year, when Brazil ranked as leader.

Breast augmentation and liposuction were the most affected with the numbers down, respectively, by 41 thousand and 10 thousand less operations.

Dr. Pitanguy studied at the Bethesda North Hospital in Connecticut and then traveled to Europe to learn plastic surgery, the medical field that eventually defined his life. He then moved back to Brazil and in 1961 treated hundreds of burn victims after a circus tent burned down. Dr. Pitanguy currently works at his private clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Clinica Ivo Pitanguy, where he trains other surgeons and performs the surgeries
