Gynecomastia surgery in Amato Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
Gynecomastia surgery at Amato Plastic Surgery in São Paulo, Brazil, helps men achieve a flatter, more masculine chest contour. The procedure is performed by Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato, a specialist certified by the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica (SBCP) and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). This treatment is ideal for those with excess glandular tissue or fat in the breast area.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
The clinic uses a specialized approach to male breast reduction. Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato often combines chest liposuction with glandular resection through a small 2–3 cm incision around the nipple. A standout feature of this surgery is the patented quilting suture technique. This method, developed through the surgeon's own research, helps keep tissues in place and reduces fluid buildup. It typically allows patients to recover without the need for uncomfortable surgical drains.
Recovery and Results
Patient safety and comfort are managed at the in-house Amato Day Hospital. The surgery usually involves general anesthesia or epidural with sedation. Most patients leave the clinic on the same day or within 12 hours. The recovery timeline includes several key stages:
- Return to work: 5 to 10 days
- Compression vest use: 30 days
- Light activity: 21 to 30 days
- Sports and sun exposure: 45 to 60 days
Expert Care and Accreditation
Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato brings academic expertise to his practice. He holds a Master’s degree in Tissue Regeneration and completed surgical leadership training at Harvard Medical School. The facility itself holds TEMOS International accreditation, which verifies high standards for international patient care. Before the surgery, patients undergo a thorough evaluation including lab tests, cardiac checks, and a mammary ultrasound to identify the type of gynecomastia.
Continuous Support
The clinic follows a structured recovery plan lasting one year. Patients meet with their surgeon at the one-week, two-week, and four-week marks. Further follow-up appointments take place at three, six, and 12 months. This schedule helps track the healing process and maintain long-term results.

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.
