Reconstructive surgery in Amato Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
Reconstructive surgery at Amato Plastic Surgery in São Paulo, Brazil, helps restore body form and function after medical procedures like mastectomies. The clinic holds international accreditations from TEMOS and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Patients benefit from a specialized anesthesia team and an in-house recovery unit at the Amato Day Hospital.
Reconstruction Methods and Techniques
The surgical team offers both immediate reconstruction during a mastectomy and delayed options after cancer treatment ends. They use several advanced techniques to rebuild the breast area:
- Autologous flaps: This method uses the patient's own tissue from the abdomen or back (DIEP, TRAM, or latissimus dorsi).
- Tissue expanders: A two-stage process that prepares the chest for a definitive implant.
- Silicone implants: A direct approach to restore breast volume.
For a natural final look, the clinic provides 3D tattooing for areola reconstruction. All surgeries require general anesthesia and last between 3 and 8 hours depending on the chosen method.
Care and Recovery Timeline
Patient safety starts with a team evaluation involving a mastologist and an oncologist before the surgery. After the procedure, patients typically stay in the hospital for 1 to 4 days. Medical drains are usually removed within 7 to 14 days. The recovery process follows a specific schedule to help the body heal properly:
- Return to work: 21 to 45 days.
- Light physical activity: After 45 days.
- Final aesthetic result: 6 to 12 months.
Amato Plastic Surgery includes follow-up reviews at 6 and 12 months at no extra cost to monitor the healing process.
Facility and Standards
The clinic is part of the Amato Day Hospital, which features a dedicated anesthesia recovery unit. It meets global standards for international patient care and holds membership in the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS).

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.
