Plastic Surgery and Breast Reconstruction

The clinic focuses on complex breast surgery, combining aesthetic goals with reconstructive techniques. Specialists perform a wide range of breast-related procedures:

• Breast Explant Surgery: Definitive removal of silicone implants, often combined with mastopexy.
• Lipofilling (Fat Grafting): Using the patient's own tissue to restore natural breast shape after explant or reconstruction.
• Breast Expander Reconstruction: A staged approach where an expander creates space for a future implant.
• Latissimus Dorsi Flap: A reconstructive method using the back muscle, often performed without a prosthesis.
• Internal Bra (Sutiã Interno): A technique used to stabilize the inframammary fold for long-term support.

Reconstructive procedures during a mastectomy typically require 2–3 days of hospitalization. When reconstruction is performed as a delayed stage, patients are often treated as outpatients. They can usually return home 2–5 hours after surgery.

Aesthetic Medicine and Body Contouring

Beyond breast surgery, the practice offers body and facial contouring. Surgeons perform abdominoplasty and liposuction to improve body proportions and skin laxity.

Facial procedures include blepharoplasty for eyelid correction and otoplasty for ear refinement. The clinic also treats gynecomastia through surgical resection or liposuction. Most gynecomastia surgeries are ambulatory, so patients go home shortly after. In-office treatments for wrinkles and volume loss use hyaluronic acid fillers.

Surgical Technology and Materials

The clinic uses One STEP technology for lipoaspiration and breast reconstruction. This system streamlines fat collection and processing during lipofilling procedures.

For fat grafting, the team uses a refined purification workflow: decantation, filtration, and centrifugation. This ensures only high-quality fat cells are transferred back into the breast tissue. Surgeons also use submuscular and retroglandular implant placement based on each patient's anatomy.

Services for International Patients

The clinic has a structured workflow for patients traveling from other cities or countries. Teleconsultations are available for initial planning and evaluation before travel.

International patients should arrive at least one day before scheduled surgery. The post-operative protocol requires staying in Porto Alegre for at least 7 days for safe monitoring. Many procedures are outpatient, so recovery can begin in a hotel or home setting within a few hours.
