Abdominal Liposuction in AQUA plastic surgery
About the clinic
Abdominal liposuction at AQUA Plastic Surgery in Natal, Brazil, focuses on body contouring using advanced ultrasound technology. The clinic is led by Dr. Allan Filgueira, a pioneer in VASER technology in Northeast Brazil and a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. This method helps patients achieve a sculpted midsection with less trauma to the body than traditional surgery.
Advanced VASER Technology
AQUA Plastic Surgery uses VASER ultrasound probes to treat abdominal fat. This technology sends out ultrasound energy to liquefy fat cells before they are removed. The process separates fat from other tissues with less trauma. Because the fat is emulsified, it protects healthy nerves and blood vessels. This method leads to less bleeding and bruising during the recovery process. The clinic has not used surgical drains for over 6 years due to these refined techniques.
Sculpting and Muscle Definition
Patients can choose from several specialized techniques including Lipo HD and Liposuction Assisted by Definition (LAD). Dr. Allan Filgueira uses these methods to mark and define the abdominal muscles. This creates a more athletic and contoured look rather than just removing bulk. The VASER system also helps the skin tighten after fat removal. Studies show skin retraction is up to 53% better with this method compared to older liposuction styles.
Specialized Care by Dr. Allan Filgueira
Dr. Allan Filgueira is a plastic surgeon certified by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. He specializes in body contouring and breast surgery. He completed a fellowship in fast recovery breast augmentation, which focuses on returning patients to their routine quickly. For abdominal procedures, Dr. Filgueira creates a personalized plan during the first consultation. He focuses on setting realistic expectations to help patients achieve their desired body shape.
Treatment Protocol and Support
The clinic offers various options such as vibrolipoaspiration, tumescent liposuction, and liposculpture. These choices allow the surgeon to tailor the treatment to the specific needs of the patient. International patients receive unrestricted support after their surgery. This helps manage the recovery process when traveling back home. The team provides guidance on follow-up care and long-term results.

AQUA plastic surgery: more details about the clinic
Medical Credentials and Expertise
Dr. Allan Filgueira, a board-certified plastic surgeon, leads the practice. He earned his medical degree from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. He then completed a three-year plastic surgery residency at Hospital Santa Marcelina and breast reconstruction training at Pérola Byington Hospital.
The clinic holds official certifications including CRM-5433 and RQE 2787. Dr. Filgueira is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. The surgical team only performs procedures that meet strict safety tolerances.
Breast Surgery and Recovery Protocols
For breast augmentation, the clinic uses the 24hs recovery protocol. Dr. Allan Filgueira has applied this approach since 2017. It helps patients return to daily activities faster after silicone implant surgery.
Specialists plan each procedure based on tissue analysis and individual anatomy. The clinic offers several breast surgery options:
- Breast augmentation with silicone implants
- Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without implants
- Breast reduction
- Fat grafting to the breasts
- Absorbable synthetic meshes for internal support
Surgeons use TIGR Matrix and GalaFLEX absorbable meshes in select cases. These materials provide extra internal reinforcement for longer-lasting results. If a patient has sufficient glandular tissue, the team may recommend a lift without implants.
Body Contouring and Advanced Liposuction
The clinic specializes in high-definition body contouring using VASER lipoaspiration. This technology uses ultrasound probes to emulsify fat before removal, so it causes less trauma to surrounding tissues than traditional liposuction.
Body contouring services include:
- Lipo HD and LAD for defined abdominal marking
- 360-degree liposuction
- Vibrolipoaspiration
- Tumescent liposuction
- Liposculpture for fat redistribution
For abdominoplasty, the clinic uses the lipoabdominoplasty Saldanha technique. This method involves less skin undermining to better preserve natural abdominal contours. The practice has avoided surgical drains for at least six years. As a result, fluid buildup is rare.
Technology and Equipment
The VASER system serves as the primary platform for all ultrasound-assisted fat reduction. Surgeons also use vibration-assisted devices for large-volume liposuction. Every surgery includes a consultation to create a plan centered on realistic expectations.
International Patient Support
The clinic provides full postoperative support for international patients. The team emphasizes clear communication and safety monitoring during initial recovery. While specific hotel or transit partnerships aren't listed, staff coordinate closely with travelers to manage aftercare. Patients receive recovery plans that account for the logistical needs of traveling for surgery.
