In a world where the pursuit of standardized beauty often crosses into excess, one Brazilian name has stood out for taking a different path: Dr. Leandro Rago. In a recent and significant international award, the Leandro Rago Method was honored, marking the recognition of a philosophy that seeks not to reshape but to enhance innate beauty. Far from clinics that resemble production lines, Leandro Rago has built his reputation on an approach that is both scientific and profoundly human.

More than consolidating a name, his mission is to consolidate a philosophy — one that believes true aesthetics do not turn a face into someone else’s, but instead allow each individual to recognize themselves, authentic and confident, in the mirror.

Dr. Leandro Rago’s journey began with a fundamental question: why did orofacial harmonization — a field with such great potential — so often result in standardized, artificial-looking faces? The answer, he explains, lay in the lack of personalization. “My goal has always been to prove that it’s possible to achieve natural results while respecting the individuality of each face,” he says. It was out of this dissatisfaction that, in 2009, he began developing his own original methodology — one that steered away from “ready-made formulas” and the excesses that, in his view, trivialized the practice.

The Leandro Rago Method is the embodiment of this philosophy.


It is based on a meticulous assessment of each patient’s anatomy and facial proportions, employing advanced techniques and top-quality products to achieve subtle and elegant balance. The premise is simple yet powerful: the best result is one that people can perceive as rejuvenation and enhancement — but can’t quite tell what was done.

In Stockholm, on the evening of June 13, 2025, when his name was announced as the winner of Best Clinical Case of the Year at the BTS Stockholm Award, Leandro Rago’s thoughts were not on the trophy he held. Instead, he reflected on the faces that had passed through his hands, the stories he had heard during consultations, and the early desire that drove him to prove that orofacial harmonization could be done differently. “I have always believed that naturalness is the only true path in aesthetics. This award confirms that it was worth holding on to that belief — and that the world is now moving toward what I’ve always stood for,” he says.


From Restlessness to Method

The global recognition and growing adoption of the LEANDRO RAGO METHOD signal a shift in the culture of facial harmonization: subtlety, elegance, and individuality are becoming the new measures of success.

More than consolidating a name, his mission is to consolidate a philosophy — one that believes true aesthetics do not turn a face into someone else’s, but instead allow each individual to recognize themselves, authentic and confident, in the mirror.

Dr. Leandro’s journey, guided by his core principle “Natural, yet Meaningful!”, does not follow the usual logic of standardized protocols. He has always been unsettled by artificial results and by the beauty ideals imposed by the aesthetic industry. This very discomfort led him to develop the LEANDRO RAGO METHOD — a philosophy that rejects pre-established formulas and values the uniqueness of every face.


The method is built upon a triad: attentive listening, a strong theoretical foundation, and the combination of ultra-customized techniques. Before any procedure, time is devoted to understanding who the patient is — their concerns, desires, and expectations, as well as how they perceive themselves. Then comes a detailed analysis that considers not only facial harmony but, above all, the preservation of the patient’s individuality and natural expression. “There is no universal mold for beauty. There is the balance within each individual,” emphasizes Dr. Rago.

Upon receiving the international award, the surgeon celebrated not only a personal achievement but also the consolidation of a growing movement in Brazil and beyond — one of ethical and conscious aesthetics. His pioneering stance in advocating for natural beauty was both recognized and celebrated, proving that his vision has long been ahead of its time. For him, the recognition is also a shared one. “This award isn’t just mine. It belongs to every patient who trusted me, to every colleague inspired by this path, and above all, to my family, who has always stood by my side,” he says.


The impact was immediate. Across professional networks, his name quickly became synonymous with naturalness in facial harmonization. Among peers, his method became a topic of discussion and inspiration. “It’s proof that it’s possible to unite technique and humanity without losing sight of purpose,” commented a colleague who has closely followed his career.

The LEANDRO RAGO METHOD goes far beyond facial aesthetics. For many patients, it represents the recovery of self-esteem, confidence, and even the courage to recognize themselves in the mirror again. It’s not just about filling or correcting — it’s about restoring softer expressions and preserving each person’s individuality.


Common stories shared in his practice include patients who used to avoid photos, social events, or even family gatherings due to insecurity. After treatment, the transformation extends far beyond facial contours — it reshapes how they interact with the world. “When a patient tells me they’ve started smiling in photos again, that’s the greatest confirmation that I’m on the right path,” Rago shares.

If for patients the method represents personal transformation, for professionals it signals a new horizon.

His advocacy for naturalness has become a counterpoint to the standardized practices that dominate conferences and social media.


The international recognition further strengthens this influence. Many see the award not merely as the crowning of a professional, but as the validation of an approach that prioritizes science, technique, and purpose.
