Liposuction at Clinic André Mattos in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, focuses on reshaping the body by removing localized fat deposits. Led by Dr. André Mattos, who trained under the world-renowned Prof. Ivo Pitanguy, the clinic offers personalized body contouring using advanced surgical techniques. Patients choose this facility for its high safety standards, backed by TEMOS International Certification and the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP).
Advanced Liposuction Methods
The clinic uses two primary techniques to remove fat and improve body shape. These methods help reduce physical trauma and support a faster healing process. The surgical team selects the best approach based on the specific needs of each patient.
- Tumescent liposuction uses a saline solution mixed with anesthetic and epinephrine. This mixture firms the fat for easier removal and narrows blood vessels to reduce bruising.
- Water-jet liposuction uses a pressurized stream of fluid to gently loosen fat cells. This technique is often gentler on the surrounding tissues.
Target Areas and Procedure
Dr. André Mattos performs liposuction on several areas where diet and exercise often fail. Common treatment zones include the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, neck, and chin. The procedure usually takes place under local anesthesia combined with sedation to keep the patient comfortable.
During the surgery, Dr. André Mattos makes tiny incisions to insert fine tubes called cannulas. These tubes suction out the fat precisely. Before the operation, every patient undergoes a full clinical evaluation and must receive medical clearance to verify they are ready for surgery.
Surgeon Expertise
Dr. André Mattos is a plastic surgeon with over 30 years of experience in body contouring and facial surgery. He is the founder of the clinic and previously served as a Medical Director in Dubai. Dr. André Mattos also holds an MBA in Health Management and completed advanced training in high-definition liposuction in Colombia.

Recovery and Patient Support
After the procedure, patients must wear compression garments to support the new body shape. Most people return to their normal daily activities within a few weeks. The clinic provides dedicated support for international patients, including follow-up care through phone calls, photo reviews, and recovery videos to monitor healing from a distance.
