Tummy Tuck and Liposuction in Amato Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
A combined tummy tuck and liposuction at Amato Plastic Surgery in São Paulo, Brazil, removes excess fat and tightens skin in a single procedure. The clinic is known for using advanced body contouring technologies like VASER and BodyTite to improve surgical results. The surgical team is led by Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato, who holds over 10 years of experience and is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Expert Surgical Care
Dr. Fernando Campos Moraes Amato performs body contouring procedures with a focus on tissue regeneration. He completed a Surgical Leadership course at Harvard Medical School and holds an MSc in tissue regeneration. Dr. Amato is an active member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. His training allows him to handle complex cases, including muscle repair for diastasis recti and umbilical hernias during the same session.
Advanced Liposuction and Tummy Tuck Techniques
The clinic provides several types of abdominoplasty to match the specific needs of each patient. These options include:
- Mini abdominoplasty for patients with minimal skin excess below the belly button.
- Classic abdominoplasty to remove skin and fat through a horizontal incision.
- Anchor abdominoplasty for those who have lost a significant amount of weight.
- 360-degree abdominoplasty to treat the abdomen, waist, and lower back at once.
- Lipoabdominoplasty which blends liposuction with skin removal for a smoother profile.
Surgeons use specialized tools like Morpheus8 and LipoSound to refine the body shape. These technologies help manage fat and skin elasticity more effectively than traditional methods.
Recovery and Patient Safety
The procedure takes about 3 to 5 hours under general anesthesia at the in-house Amato Day Hospital. Most patients stay for 1 night in the hospital. The facility includes a dedicated recovery room for anesthesia monitoring. After surgery, patients wear a compression garment and start lymphatic drainage sessions within the first few days.
Recovery involves resting in an elevated position and walking slightly bent for a short period. Most people return to light activities after about 21 days. Driving is usually restricted for 2 to 4 weeks. Dr. Amato provides a direct WhatsApp channel for his patients and includes follow-up reviews at 6 and 12 months in the service.

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.
