Breast Augmentation with Tear Drop Implants in clinic Nishimoto
About the clinic
Breast augmentation with tear drop implants at Clinic Nishimoto in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, provides a natural-looking enhancement tailored to each patient's anatomy. This procedure is performed by surgeons with top-tier training from the Hospital das Clínicas da UFMG. The clinic holds international TEMOS accreditation and follows safety standards recognized by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP).
Surgical Expertise
Dr. Gabriel Gontijo and Dr. Fabrício Nishimoto lead the plastic surgery team. Dr. Gontijo earned the highest scores in the SBCP state examinations for three years in a row. Dr. Nishimoto manages two clinic units and brings specialized training from one of Brazil's leading medical institutions. Their expertise allows for precise implant placement based on the patient's body type and goals.
Procedure and Methods
The surgery typically takes about 2 hours to complete. Surgeons offer several placement options for the tear drop implants, including subglandular, submuscular, subfascial, and dual plane methods. Incisions are made in the submammary fold, around the nipple, or through the armpit to minimize visible scarring. Most patients receive local anesthesia with sedation or an epidural rather than general anesthesia. This approach helps the recovery process start faster after the operation.
Recovery and Results
Patients usually leave the clinic on the same day of the surgery. The recovery plan includes specific steps to help the breasts heal correctly. Patients must wear a supportive bra and avoid sleeping on their stomachs for at least 30 days. For the first few weeks, patients should not drive, play sports, or expose the area to the sun. Moving the arms above shoulder height is also restricted during the initial healing phase.
Pre-Operative Requirements
Safety is a priority at Clinic Nishimoto. Before the procedure, patients must provide a full gynecological and family medical history. The clinical team requires a recent ultrasound or mammography to check breast health. These steps help the surgeons choose the best surgical path for each person. You can leave a request on Bookimed to learn more about the preparation steps or to book a consultation.

clinic Nishimoto: more details about the clinic
Clinic Nishimoto is a private multi-specialty facility established in 2023. It operates two branches in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. One unit is in Belo Horizonte, the other in Betim. The clinic focuses on plastic surgery and advanced aesthetic medicine.
Accreditations and Professional Recognitions
The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation, an international certification for medical tourism and patient safety. It is also recognized by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). Dr. Gabriel Gontijo, a surgeon at the clinic, achieved the highest state scores in plastic surgery training from 2017 to 2019.
Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring
Specialists perform abdominal surgeries to restore contour and address skin laxity. The clinic offers several abdominoplasty techniques:
- Classic and mini abdominoplasty
- Lipoabdominoplasty
- Extended or circumferential abdominoplasty
- Anchor abdominoplasty
Tummy tuck procedures typically last 3 to 5 hours. Hospital stays range from 12 to 48 hours, depending on the technique. Surgeons also perform liposuction and Lipo HD using mechanical, ultrasound, or laser methods.
Breast procedures include augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy. The breast lift with implants repositions the areola and nipple while adding volume. Each surgery is planned around individual anatomy, including implant size and placement.
For male patients, the clinic treats gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts). Treatment involves gland removal, liposuction, or both. This addresses volume caused by hormonal changes or excess fatty tissue.
Facial Rejuvenation and Intimate Surgery
Facial procedures focus on softening wrinkles and reshaping contours. Specialists perform Ritidoplástia (facelift) to reduce excess skin on the face and neck. Other options include blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), rhinoplasty, and bichectomy (cheek surgery).
The clinic is a regional center for labiaplasty and intimate aesthetics. This procedure reduces enlarged labia minora while preserving the protective function of the vaginal entrance. Surgery takes about one hour under local anesthesia with light sedation. Patients typically go home the same day.
Specialized Medical Team
The surgical team includes Dr. Fabrício Nishimoto and Dr. Gabriel Gontijo. Dr. Nishimoto completed his plastic surgery training at Hospital das Clínicas da UFMG. Dr. Gontijo trained at the same institution after a general surgery residency at Hospital Odilon Behrens.
Integrated Patient Services
A multidisciplinary team supports recovery. Patients can see endocrinology, physiotherapy, and nutrition specialists. A clinic doctor performs surgical risk assessments and reviews pre-operative tests before any procedure.
Post-operative care includes guidance on positioning, wound management, and compression garment use. Staff speak Portuguese, English, and Spanish. International patients can access support services to coordinate their care across both locations.
