AQUA plastic surgery: more details about the clinic

Brazil, Natal
AQUA plastic surgery is a private clinic in the Tirol neighborhood of Natal, Brazil. The facility focuses on breast surgery and body contouring. Two doctors provide individualized surgical planning and postoperative care.

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.

I’m 38 years old and, after two pregnancies, my body went through some changes that bothered me and affected my self-esteem. I sought help, researched, read about the subject, compared with other professionals, and after my appointment with Dr. Allan, I was sure that my surgery would be in his hands. Dr. Allan gave me a lot of confidence, security, and showed great attention and care, with experience and responsibility. His team is amazing! I was well taken care of from the moment I entered the clinic—everyone is attentive and kind. Today, thank God, I’m sure I made the best choice; my self-esteem is through the roof! My post-operative recovery was calm—I never felt any pain. My surgery was incredible, and the scar is barely noticeable; everything was perfect! Dr. Allan doesn’t just transform bodies—he changes lives!

Dr. Allan Filgueira and your entire team, I want to express my deepest gratitude for all the care and kindness I received. From my very first appointment to the post-operative period, I was treated with incredible attention and affection, which made all the difference in this process. My surgery turned out simply wonderful—every day it gets even better, and the result keeps improving. Your technique, professionalism, and sense of safety are admirable. Also, the clear and detailed way you explain each step gives a great deal of confidence. I asked for natural results, and the outcome exceeded all my expectations—it’s more than perfect! Thank you so much for everything!

Dr. Allan Filgueira is an extremely competent professional. From the very first appointment, I had no doubts it would be him. He turned my fear into security and confidence, always conveying calmness at every step of the process. All the staff deserves congratulations for their care, attention, and kindness. I am extremely satisfied with the result. If I had to do it again, I would do everything again with him. He knows how to make dreams come true while respecting what is best for the patient.

I would like to thank Dr. Allan and his entire team for the success of my surgery. I had undergone a maxtopexy many years ago with another doctor and I was never happy with the result. I even thought there was no solution. Then, while talking with my husband’s cousin, she told me about her surgery with Dr. Allan and how happy she was with the outcome, and I decided to see him. Then he told me that with a breast implant and some adjustments, I would have more elegant breasts, with a natural result the way I wanted. He cleared up all my doubts, and the whole process—from the consultation to the post-surgery follow-up—was exceptional. He has always been, and still is, very ethical, competent, and attentive. It has been 4 months since I had the surgery, and I’ve been following the entire protocol and recommendations, so everything went as planned. I also watched all his videos on Instagram. They’re very informative, even for husbands too. I recommend him 100% ❤️

What a wonderful choice. Choosing Dr Allan Filgueira to perform my plastic surgery. He is an excellent professional! He is very attentive, a perfectionist, and always cares about the patient’s well-being. I had breast implants and underwent an abdominal procedure with Dr Allan, and I can say for sure it was the best choice I could have made. A completely competent and responsible professional. His team is wonderful, from the clinic’s receptionists to the medical team that works with him. Thank you, Dr Allan. Extremely happy and I highly recommend him.

There are competent professionals… and there are those who transform lives. My experience with Dr. Allan Filgueira for my mastopexy was simply impeccable. Every step was carried out with rare care, from the first contact to the final result that exceeded all my expectations. More than an excellent surgeon, I found a human professional—meticulous and extremely committed to the self-esteem and well-being of his patients. Today, when I look in the mirror, I see not only an aesthetic change, but the recovery of my confidence. My gratitude is immense. Truly exclusive work. ✨

Hi everyone! Without a doubt, I chose the best surgeon to make my dream of having larger, beautiful breasts come true. Dr. Allan is an exceptional professional—he’s the kind of doctor who listens to you. That’s exactly what Dr. Allan is like. I left my very first consultation with the certainty that he would perform a great plastic surgery on me. He is attentive, careful, and very committed to the patient’s health throughout the entire process. I can’t help but highlight the care and attention his assistant Clau gives to the patients. Gratitude to the entire team of Dr. Allan Filgueira.
