Breast reduction in Amato Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
Breast reduction at Amato Plastic Surgery in São Paulo, Brazil, helps patients manage physical discomfort and achieve their desired body shape. The procedure is performed by Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato, a plastic surgeon with international recognition and an MSc in Tissue Regeneration. The clinic holds prestigious accreditations from SBCP, ISAPS, ASPS, and TEMOS, making it a trusted destination for aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato uses multiplane planning to minimize scarring. The clinic offers several incision options tailored to the patient’s body type and goals. These methods include periareolar, vertical, and the traditional inverted T or anchor shape. For patients seeking less visible marks, Dr. Amato uses L-shaped, J-shaped, and short-scar techniques. These modern approaches focus on smaller incisions compared to traditional methods. The surgical team can also handle complex cases, including the removal of tissue weighing over 1.9 kg.
Personalized Planning and Safety
Before the surgery, the team uses 3D simulation to help plan the procedure. This technology allows patients to see a preview of their results for more predictable outcomes. The surgery takes place at the Amato Day Hospital, which features its own dedicated anesthesia and recovery area. This in-house facility helps maintain a controlled environment for patient safety. The surgery typically lasts between 3 and 5 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
Recovery and Follow-Up Care
Patients usually stay in the hospital for 24 to 48 hours following the procedure. The initial recovery period takes about 4 to 6 weeks before returning to regular activities. To help the healing process, the clinic provides a direct communication channel to the surgeon for a year. Scheduled reviews occur at the 6-month and 12-month marks to monitor long-term results and skin health. Dr. Amato’s background in tissue regeneration supports the focus on high-quality healing.

Amato Plastic Surgery: more details about the clinic
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.
