About the clinic
Tummy tuck surgery at Amato Plastic Surgery in São Paulo, Brazil, removes excess skin and fat while repairing abdominal muscles. The procedure is performed by Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato, a plastic surgeon with over 15 years of experience and specialized training from Harvard Medical School. Patients benefit from the clinic's TEMOS accreditation and its own private surgical center, the Amato Day Hospital.
Tummy Tuck Options in São Paulo
The clinic offers several methods to address different body goals. A classic abdominoplasty removes skin and fat through a horizontal incision above the pubic area. Patients with less excess skin may choose a mini-abdominoplasty, which uses a shorter scar. For those needing more significant changes, the 360-degree approach treats the abdomen, waist, and back at the same time. Lipoabdominoplasty combines skin removal with liposuction, while the anchor method helps patients who have lost a large amount of weight.
Surgical Expertise and Safety
Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato leads the surgical team and holds memberships in SBCP, ISAPS, and ASPS. He specializes in reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery, using his background from the Federal University of São Paulo to create personal treatment plans. Every surgery takes place in a dedicated facility with a specialized anesthesia team. Before the procedure, Dr. Amato conducts a full evaluation, which may include an ultrasound to check for muscle separation or hernias.
Recovery and Results
The surgery usually lasts between 3 to 5 hours under general or epidural anesthesia. Most patients stay in the hospital for 1 night. Recovery typically takes 2 to 4 weeks, and light work can usually begin after 3 weeks. During this time, patients use compression garments and attend lymphatic drainage sessions to help healing. To protect the surgical site, you should avoid heavy activities for at least 6 weeks and sleep with your knees bent and head elevated.
International Patient Care
Amato Plastic Surgery is located in the Jardim América district and holds a TEMOS accreditation for international patient care. The clinic provides English and Spanish interpreters to help with communication. They also offer discounts at partner hotels and help with travel logistics. You can start the process with an online consultation, though a final in-person check is necessary before the surgery. You may leave a request on Bookimed to receive a personalized assessment and a detailed quote.

Amato Plastic Surgery: more details about the clinic
Brazil, São Paulo
Amato Plastic Surgery is a private specialty practice established in 2026. Located in São Paulo's Jardim América district, it operates across three specialized departments. The clinic focuses on both reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery. All procedures take place in the in-house Amato Day Hospital. This facility has a dedicated anesthesia team and specialized recovery monitoring.
Accreditations and Specialist Credentials
The clinic maintains affiliations with major international and national organizations. These include the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). TEMOS accredits it for international patient care standards. The practice is led by Dr. Fernando Amato, who holds specialist registrations CRM/SP 133826 and RQE 51573.
Dr. Fernando Amato completed his medical training and plastic surgery residency at the Federal University of São Paulo. He is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). His surgical approach relies on evidence-based protocols and individualized planning. Every patient receives a detailed written discussion of risks and expectations before any procedure.
Reconstructive and Aesthetic Breast Surgery
The practice is a reference center for post-mastectomy breast reconstruction and oncologic repairs. Surgeons perform both immediate and delayed reconstructions. Techniques include autologous flaps, tissue expanders, and silicone implants. The final stage often involves areola reconstruction using 3D tattooing for a natural appearance.
Aesthetic breast procedures cover a wide range of patient needs:
- Breast augmentation using Motiva implants with integrated microchips
- Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without implants
- Complex breast reduction cases, including tissue removal exceeding 1.9 kg
- Correction of tuberous breasts and breast asymmetry
- Specialized breast implant removal (explant) services
Patients undergoing breast reconstruction typically stay 1–4 days. Drains are usually removed within 14 days. Most return to work after 3 weeks.
Body Contouring and Specialized Treatments
The clinic offers surgical management for lipedema and post-bariatric body remodeling. Lipedema treatment involves 12–24 hours of hospitalization. Patients begin lymphatic drainage within 7 days and use compression therapy for up to 60 days. Body contouring for post-bariatric patients includes abdominoplasty variants like the 360-degree circumferential lift.
For male patients, the clinic provides gynecomastia surgery using a specific quilting technique. Dr. Fernando Amato developed this adhesion-suture method through his own scientific research. It reduces fluid buildup and often eliminates the need for surgical drains. Most patients return to light activities within 21 days.
Advanced Surgical Technologies
The surgical workflow integrates several energy-based platforms for better skin retraction and contouring. The clinic uses BodyTite and Morpheus8 for radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis and tissue remodeling. Surgeons also use VASER and LipoSound technologies for precise fat emulsification. Facial procedures may include endoscopic lifting and CO2 laser resurfacing.
International Patient Services
Amato Plastic Surgery provides structured planning for patients traveling from abroad. The clinic offers online consultations to review medical history and standardized photos. The team helps with recovery logistics, including discounted rates at partner hotels in São Paulo. Support is available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.
Postoperative care includes a direct communication channel via a dedicated WhatsApp group. This connects the patient, nursing team, and surgeon for continuous guidance. The clinic schedules follow-up reviews at 6 and 12 months to monitor long-term results at no extra cost.

I want to thank Dr. Marcelo Amato, a neurosurgeon, for his professionalism, competence, responsibility, attention, kindness, and patience in all stages of my care—consultation, examinations, surgery, and postoperative follow-up. My thanks also go to his entire surgical team, the reception staff, the postoperative team, and to his magnificent secretary, Tamires.
After seeing many doctors without any results, with pain for almost 3 years, he efficiently discovered my problem. I underwent with him a video endoscopic surgery for a herniated disc in the lumbar spine, and today it is a blessing to say that I don’t feel even a single pain.
My eternal thanks.
I recommend any treatment with him.

How wonderful to know that your experience was so positive! Here’s a message suggestion of thanks and praise, in an elegant and sincere tone:
I would like to express my immense gratitude and congratulate the entire team for the exceptional care I received.
From my very first contact, during the negotiation and the closing of the surgery, I was welcomed with great attention, patience, and professionalism. The entire process conveyed safety and trust, which made all the difference.
The surgery was performed at Hospital Dia, in an impeccable environment—extremely clean, well organized, and with a structure that was incredibly comfortable. The air-conditioned, cozy room made my recovery even more peaceful.
I would also like to highlight the nursing team, which was simply wonderful: attentive, caring professionals, organized, and always willing to help with kindness and dedication.
My special thanks to the anesthesia team, which showed genuine concern for my well-being. My recovery was surprisingly calm—no pain, no nausea, and no unpleasant symptoms that many people fear after surgery.
The food offered also deserves praise: tasty, well prepared, and thoughtfully planned to provide comfort during recovery.
And finally, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the doctor and their assistant. There aren’t enough words to describe your care, competence, kindness, and dedication. In every moment, I felt welcomed, respected, and safe.
More than a highly qualified team, I found people who practice medicine with humanity. Today, I’m certain that I made the right choice. Thank you very much for making this moment so special and peaceful.

Note: 10 ⭐
I would like to record my immense satisfaction and gratitude for the impeccable experience I had at Amato Hospital Dia. From my very first contact until the moment of discharge, the service was simply excellent.
All the medical and nursing staff demonstrate admirable professionalism, warmth, and humanity. One of the great differentiators that gave me extreme safety and peace of mind was the constant presence of the doctor responsible for my wife’s surgery—he was there the entire time, closely monitoring every detail.
The day hospital’s facilities are modern, well-equipped, and of the highest standard. In addition, the cleanliness and organization of all areas are impeccable.
Thank you, Dr. Fernando Amato.

I was very well received and cared for at the clinic—whether it was at reception, in my consultations with Dr. Fernando, on the day of the surgery by all the professionals present there, and also during the lymphatic drainage sessions with the wonderful physiotherapists. Everything was explained to me in great detail throughout the entire process. I am completely satisfied!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. Keller is the vascular specialist who has been following me, and he is an exceptional professional. It was him who gave me clarity about lipedema and the best treatment path—something that no one before had seen with this level of depth. He has an incredible level of care for his patients; he’s highly knowledgeable and attentive to every detail. Through his follow-up, I changed my habits and my life truly improved. I continue with him on my sporting journey as well—I’m an amateur athlete, and he helps me progress in a healthy way. Huge gratitude to Dr. Keller and to Instituto Amato!

I accompanied my mother to a spine surgery and the experience was exceptional. Impeccable facilities, a welcoming environment, and an extremely prepared, polite, and attentive team. On several occasions, our needs were noticed and handled proactively, without us having to ask for help.
The clinical team showed a high level of competence, responsibility, and, above all, genuine human care. Without a doubt, whenever there is an option for authorized procedures, this will always be our first choice. ♥️
