About the clinic

Laser liposuction at Amato Plastic Surgery in São Paulo, Brazil, provides a modern way to remove fat and tighten skin simultaneously. The procedure is performed by Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato, who holds advanced credentials from institutions like Harvard Medical School and UNIFESP. This method uses specific laser wavelengths to reduce bleeding and help the skin retract after fat removal.

Laser Technology and Techniques

The clinic uses laser-assisted liposuction to treat different body concerns. A thin tube called a cannula carries a diode laser fiber under the skin. The process involves three specific laser wavelengths for better results:

1470 nm: Targets water and collagen to help the skin tighten and retract.
980 nm: Focuses on stopping bleeding to reduce bruising after surgery.
1210 nm (ONE S.T.E.P.): Specifically targets fat cells while keeping them healthy for later grafting if needed.

This selective action helps protect the surrounding tissue. It also makes the recovery process smoother for the patient.

Treatment for Complex Cases

Laser liposuction is effective for first-time surgeries and revision cases. Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato uses the laser to treat fibrosis and scar tissue from previous operations. The laser helps break up tough adhesions that traditional methods might struggle to reach. This leads to a smoother body contour and better symmetry. The surgery requires only small incisions, usually between 2 mm and 3 mm in size.

Specialized Care and Safety

Amato Plastic Surgery operates its own facility, the Amato Day Hospital. This setup allows patients to undergo the procedure in a controlled environment with a dedicated anesthesia team. The clinic holds multiple international accreditations, including TEMOS, SBCP, and ISAPS. These certifications show a commitment to safety and high standards in aesthetic surgery. Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato brings specialized knowledge in tissue regeneration to every case.

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. ♥️
