Lipofilling (Fat Grafting) in clinic Dr. Hélio Nobre
About the clinic
Lipofilling, also known as fat grafting, at Clinic Dr. Hélio Nobre in Rio de Janeiro uses your own tissue to restore volume and shape. The procedure is performed by Dr. Hélio Nobre, a specialist trained at the prestigious Instituto Ivo Pitanguy. This method offers a natural alternative to synthetic implants with minimal scarring and a focus on safety through ultrasound guidance.
Advanced Fat Grafting Technique
Dr. Hélio Nobre uses a precise three-step process to move fat from one part of the body to another. First, fat is collected through lipoaspiration from a donor site. The fat then goes through a purification process to remove impurities. Finally, the surgeon injects the healthy fat cells into the target area to add volume. Dr. Hélio Nobre uses ultrasound-guided injections to place the fat accurately. This technology helps avoid intramuscular placement and improves the survival rate of the grafted cells.
Expertise of Dr. Hélio Nobre
Dr. Hélio Nobre leads the surgical team with advanced qualifications in aesthetic surgery. He completed a fellowship at the Instituto Ivo Pitanguy, one of the most famous plastic surgery schools in the world. Dr. Hélio Nobre is an active member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and has published books on facial anatomy. The clinic also holds TEMOS accreditation, which shows a commitment to high standards for international patients.
Recovery and Results
The surgery usually takes about one hour to complete. Patients typically stay in the hospital for 12 to 24 hours depending on how much fat was removed. Small incisions of 2 to 3 millimeters are hidden in natural skin folds to keep scars nearly invisible. Recovery involves the following steps:
- Patients must rest for 10 to 21 days after the procedure.
- Pain and discomfort usually fade within 3 to 4 weeks.
- You must wear shapewear on the donor area to support healing.
- No massage or pressure is allowed on the grafted site for 3 months.
- Lymphatic drainage is only permitted on the donor area, not the new fat site.
Because the procedure uses your own fat, there is no risk of an allergic reaction to foreign materials. To learn more about this procedure in Brazil, you can leave a request on Bookimed.

clinic Dr. Hélio Nobre: more details about the clinic
Clinic Dr. Hélio Nobre is a private plastic surgery practice in Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro. The facility has consultation rooms in Nova Iguaçu's Centro district and in Campo Grande. Led by Dr. Hélio Nobre, the clinic focuses on surgical and minimally invasive aesthetic solutions. Two doctors provide personalized care in facial rejuvenation, body contouring, and breast surgery.
Accreditations and Specialist Expertise
The clinic holds accreditations from the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica (SBCP) and TEMOS. These certifications confirm adherence to recognized standards in surgical safety and international patient care.
Dr. Hélio Nobre is a board-certified plastic surgeon and a Fellow of the Ivo Pitanguy Institute. He completed his medical training at the Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro. His specialized residencies took place at Bonsucesso and Andaraí Federal Hospitals.
Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery
The surgical department covers a broad range of aesthetic and reparative procedures. Specialists emphasize natural results by supporting the underlying structures of the face and body.
The clinic offers several surgical options:
- Deep Plane Facelift – repositions deep tissue layers for natural facial rejuvenation
- Mastopexy – breast lift surgery to address skin laxity and sagging
- Blepharoplasty – surgical correction of the upper or lower eyelids
- Otoplasty – procedure to correct prominent or protruding ears
- Gynecomastia surgery – aesthetic correction of breast tissue in men
Facial surgery recovery typically involves several weeks of rest. Moderate swelling and bruising occur as the deeper tissues settle into place.
Body Contouring and Liposuction
Body shaping services use integrated silhouette planning to address fat removal and skin firmness. Surgeons perform Lipo HD (High Definition) to enhance muscle definition by sculpting localized fat. The clinic also offers gluteoplasty using implants or fat grafting techniques. Abdominoplasty removes excess skin after significant weight loss or pregnancy.
For patients seeking less invasive contouring, the clinic provides several alternatives:
- Mini Abdominoplasty for minor skin laxity
- Renuvion technology to improve skin retraction
- VASER ultrasonic liposuction for precise fat breakdown
Liposuction recovery generally requires 3 to 7 days of rest. Patients can typically resume light physical activities after 14 days.
Aesthetic Medicine and Technology
Non-surgical treatments focus on skin renewal and collagen production. The clinic uses Ellansé for long-term facial and body volume support. This treatment stimulates natural collagen production within 30 days. Maximum results are typically visible at the 90-day mark. Skin rejuvenation is also achieved through crystal and diamond peeling methods.
Surgeons use VASER® technology to deliver precise ultrasound waves to fatty tissue. This protects surrounding structures while breaking down fat cells. For skin tightening, the Renuvion system uses radiofrequency and plasma energy. A fine wand delivers this energy to target loose tissue during liposuction procedures.
International Patient Services
The clinic supports international patients through individualized treatment planning and consultations. Staff members assist in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Surgeons lead the initial evaluation to determine the most appropriate techniques. Pre-operative requirements include blood tests and cardiological exams.
Post-operative care involves close medical monitoring for safe recovery. The Nova Iguaçu facility features air-conditioned consultation rooms and building security. Amenities include reception services and on-site parking.
