Breast reconstruction surgery in Amato Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
Breast reconstruction surgery at Amato Plastic Surgery in São Paulo, Brazil, restores the breast shape after a mastectomy. The procedure is performed by Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato, a specialist with over 15 years of experience in reconstructive surgery. The clinic holds international TEMOS accreditation, showing a commitment to high medical standards for international patients.
Treatment Methods and Individual Planning
Each surgery is tailored to the patient's physical needs and health history. Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato uses 3D simulation to plan the operation. This helps patients see the expected shape and size before the surgery starts. The clinic offers three main reconstruction techniques:
- Autologous flaps: This method uses the patient's own tissue from the abdomen or back (DIEP, TRAM, or latissimus dorsi) to create the new breast.
- Two-stage reconstruction: A tissue expander is placed first to stretch the skin, followed by a permanent implant.
- Direct implant: The surgeon places a silicone implant immediately after the breast tissue is removed.
Reconstruction can happen immediately during the mastectomy or as a delayed procedure months later. To achieve a balanced look, the surgeon often adjusts the other breast for symmetry. For a natural finish, 3D tattooing is available to reconstruct the areola.
Specialist Expertise
Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato leads the surgical team. He completed surgical leadership training at Harvard Medical School and holds a Master’s degree in tissue regeneration. He has performed 150+ breast reconstructions through his dedicated social project, Projeto Mama Minha. Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato is also an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).
Recovery and Patient Support
The surgery takes place at the Amato Day Hospital. This facility has a dedicated anesthesia team and safety protocols. Patients typically stay in the hospital for 1 to 4 nights depending on the chosen technique. Surgical drains are usually removed within 7 to 14 days. Most patients return to work in 21 to 45 days, while the final aesthetic result is visible after 6 to 12 months. The clinic helps international guests with online consultations and partner hotel discounts.

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.
