About

Dr. Marco Aurelio Moura Faria Correa is a pioneering plastic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for abdominal wall reconstruction, with a particular focus on diastasis recti (DR) repair. His major contribution lies in challenging long-held surgical paradigms: while DR was historically overlooked by general surgeons and considered only treatable through conventional abdominoplasty by plastic surgeons, Dr. Correa has championed a paradigm shift toward less invasive approaches. His landmark paper, "Minimally invasive lipoabdominoplasty (MILA) tactic" (2024), introduces a novel strategy that integrates liposuction with targeted rectus plication, reducing recovery time and scarring while addressing both aesthetic and functional concerns. Though recently published, this work has already garnered 3 citations, signaling growing recognition of its clinical significance. Dr. Correa’s research underscores the critical correlation between DR and abdominal wall function, advocating for earlier, less morbid interventions. His work is reshaping how surgeons approach abdominal wall pathology, bridging the gap between cosmetic and reconstructive priorities—a contribution that promises to influence surgical education and patient outcomes for years to come.
