About the clinic

Lipofilling, also known as fat grafting, is a procedure used to enhance breast volume and shape at the Ana Borba & Norton clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This method uses the patient's own tissue to create a natural look and feel while refining body contours. The clinic holds international safety accreditations from SBCP, ISAPS, and TEMOS, which verify their high standards of care.

Fat Grafting Technique

The procedure uses a technique called autologous fat grafting or Lipoenxertia. Surgeons harvest fat from areas with excess deposits, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. This fat is then purified to select only healthy cells for injection. Because the material comes from the patient's own body, there is a low risk of rejection. This method provides a dual benefit by slimming the donor area while enhancing the breasts.

Clinical Uses and Benefits

Lipofilling is an effective way to correct breast asymmetries or refine the breast contour for a harmonious look. It is often used to complement silicone implants in a process called hybrid mammoplasty. This combination helps achieve the best possible volume and shape. Patients choose this option because it offers a natural feel without the risks associated with large implants alone.

Recovery and Safety

The procedure is minimally invasive, which leads to a comfortable and fast recovery period. The medical team follows international protocols to maintain patient safety throughout the process. The clinic is recognized by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). These credentials show their commitment to global medical standards.

Ana Borba & Norton: more details about the clinic

Brazil, Rio de Janeiro

Ana Borba & Norton is a plastic surgery clinic founded in 2015. Located in Rio de Janeiro's Leblon neighborhood, it focuses on aesthetic and functional breast procedures. Dr. Ana Borba and Dr. Maria Júlia Norton lead the medical team.

Key Facts and Patient Statistics

The medical team has completed over 2,000 surgeries in the last 4 years. Since opening, the clinic has treated more than 2,000 women and logged over 6,000 surgical hours. It holds several certifications:

SBCP (Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery)
TEMOS International Healthcare Accreditation
ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery)

Dr. Ana Borba completed her plastic surgery residency at Hospital Federal de Ipanema. She has over 15 years of experience in the field.

Specialties and Surgical Procedures

The clinic specializes in breast surgery, from initial augmentation to complex reconstructive cases. Procedures include:

Breast Augmentation with silicone implants
Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without implants
Mammoplasty reduction for proportion and relief
Silicone Explant surgery and implant exchange
Correction of asymmetry and tuberous breast development

The clinic follows a specific R24R protocol for silicone implant surgeries. This method includes 14 safety steps to promote faster recovery. Surgeons use the Dual Plane technique, where the pectoral muscle covers only the upper part of the implant. This positioning creates a more natural breast contour. Patients typically regain independence for light activities just two hours after surgery.

For those seeking elevation without implants, the clinic offers fat grafting. This technique uses the patient's own fat to reshape the breast. Surgeons also use Short Scar methods when indicated to minimize visible marks. Final results typically appear between 6 months and 1 year after surgery.

Technology and Diagnostic Tools

The clinic uses 3D simulation during planning. This allows patients to visualize potential results before surgery. Detailed preoperative assessments help reduce surgical risk:

Laboratory blood tests
Ultrasonography and mammography for breast imaging
Biopsies when clinically indicated

The team also uses the Keller Funnel during implant procedures. This device allows "no-touch" insertion, which reduces contamination risk. All surgeries take place at high-tier hospitals including Copa Star and Copa D'Or.

Services for International Patients

The clinic offers a clear pathway for patients traveling from abroad. The process begins with online video consultations to discuss goals and medical history. Surgeons coordinate travel timing so recovery fits within the visit. Postoperative monitoring continues after the patient returns home. The team provides consultations in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

My experience with Dr. Ana Borba was, without exaggeration, transformative. You know when you arrive feeling insecure, afraid, full of doubts... and you find someone who gives you an immediate sense of peace? That's exactly how I felt from the very first appointment. Dr. Ana is not only extremely competent and technically skilled at what she does; she is human, sensitive, empathetic, and profoundly caring. She looks you in the eyes, truly listens, embraces every insecurity, and guides you with a calming presence that feels like a hug. At such a delicate time for me, she went far beyond the role of a doctor. She brought me a sense of safety, tranquility, and a confidence I didn't even realize I needed so much. Not once did I feel alone or insecure; on the contrary, I felt cared for, respected, and supported the entire time. And that is reflected in the wonderful team she has built. Dr. Daniela, the anesthesiologist, was essential in helping me feel safe and calm. Highly competent, attentive, and welcoming, she explained everything with clarity and care, conveying an immense sense of peace. An excellent professional! Nurse Victoria was simply a gift in my postoperative period. Delicate, attentive, affectionate... one of those people who seem to have a gift for caring. She was always present and made all the difference in my recovery. Karine, at the front desk, also deserves full recognition. Always polite, welcoming, and organized, she helps make the entire experience light from the very first contact. Today, looking back on everything I went through, all I can feel is gratitude. Gratitude for having found such a complete professional, who combines technical excellence with a huge heart. Dr. Ana Borba doesn't just care for the body; she cares for us as a whole. I recommend her without hesitation, with all the certainty and affection in the world. ♥️

I want to share my experience with a plastic surgery that truly surprised me in a very positive way… ✨ From the very first appointment, I was treated with great care, attention, and professionalism. The team is extremely well-prepared, inspires confidence, and keeps you calm at every stage. The environment is impeccable—everything very organized and welcoming… you can feel the commitment to excellence. But I especially need to talk about the postoperative period… because that’s when I understood how essential lymphatic drainage is. I had the drainage with Dr. Jacqueline Scoralick and, honestly… it made all the difference in my recovery. The swelling went down much faster, the feeling of heaviness and discomfort decreased a lot, and I felt much lighter and more confident over the days. It’s impressive how the body responds better when this care is done the right way. Drainage isn’t just an “extra”… it’s a fundamental part of the process. It speeds up recovery, improves the final result, and brings a comfort that makes all the difference in day-to-day life. So here’s my real experience: the surgery was a success, but the postoperative period with drainage was what truly transformed my recovery. If you’re going to have or have already had plastic surgery, don’t underestimate this care. It’s really worth doing drainage with Dr. Jacqueline Scoralick, in Bangu! 📲 (21)

My experience with Dr. Ana Borba was exceptional. Because I have an autoimmune disease, I opted for a mastopexy without implants, and Dr. Ana guided me with total care, clarity, and respect, always presenting options aligned with my reality and welcoming my choices with sensitivity. The result was far beyond what I could have imagined—natural, harmonious, and truly transformative. Throughout the entire process, from pre- to postoperative, I found a calm, friendly, available professional, truly dedicated to the patient's well-being. I also thank her team, equally competent, attentive, and welcoming. Here's to more professionals as humane and committed as Dr. Ana! 💛

Dr. Ana Borba is simply an out-of-the-ordinary professional. She is humane, patient, respectful and, of course, incredibly talented. It took me almost a year to undergo surgery because of fear and past traumas, and with all the calm in the world, she helped me overcome them. Because she is such a wonderful professional and person, her team could not be any different; despite all my fear, I was always very well cared for and supported by Dr. Ana's entire team. Thank you, Dr. Ana and team! I am eternally grateful for the privilege of being able to have my surgery with professionals like you.
