Tumescent liposuction in AQUA plastic surgery
About the clinic
Tumescent liposuction at AQUA plastic surgery in Natal, Brazil, focuses on body contouring through advanced ultrasound and vibration techniques. The clinic is a pioneer of VASER technology in Northeast Brazil, helping patients achieve high-definition results with reduced recovery times. This procedure is led by Dr. Allan Filgueira, a board-certified specialist with international training in body shaping and reconstruction.
Advanced Liposuction Techniques
The clinic uses the tumescent method to improve patient safety. During the procedure, a solution of saline and adrenaline is injected into the fat layers. This helps narrow the blood vessels, which minimizes bleeding and bruising. This foundation allows for more precise fat removal compared to older methods.
AQUA plastic surgery offers several specialized options for body sculpting:
- VASER Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction: This tool uses sound waves to break down fat cells before they are removed. It results in up to 53% more skin retraction than traditional surgery.
- Vibrolipo: This vibration-assisted technology helps the surgeon remove larger volumes of fat with less trauma to the body.
- Lipo HD and LAD: These high-definition methods define the natural lines of the muscles for a toned appearance.
- 360-degree Liposuction: This approach treats the entire midsection to create a balanced silhouette.
Expertise and Safety
Dr. Allan Filgueira leads the surgical team. He is a plastic surgeon certified by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. Dr. Filgueira completed his residency at Hospital Santa Marcelina and received advanced training in breast reconstruction and body contouring in Colombia. The clinic holds official Brazilian medical registrations, including CRM-5433 and RQE 2787.

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.
