Liposuction in Consultório Dr. Leandro de Aquino
About the clinic
Liposuction at Consultório Dr. Leandro de Aquino in Nova Lima, Brazil, provides advanced body contouring through vibration-assisted techniques and specialized definition levels. The practice is led by a professor from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, who holds prestigious SBCP accreditation and TEMOS international certification. Patients can choose from classical methods or high-definition sculpting to achieve their desired aesthetic goals.
Liposuction Methods and Definition
Dr. Leandro Ricardo de Aquino Santos offers several levels of body sculpting to match different patient needs. Classical liposuction focuses on removing deep fat layers using blunt cannulas. Medium definition (MD) helps sculpt natural lines like the linea alba and is often chosen by female patients. For those seeking an athletic appearance, High Definition (HD) liposuction creates a "six-pack" look. The Ultra-HD option goes further by using fat grafting into the muscles to enhance abdominal definition. These procedures can treat many areas, including the abdomen, back, hips, thighs, and neck.
Advanced Technology and Safety
The clinic uses FAGA VibroFit technology for vibration-assisted liposuction. This system helps reduce surgery time and supports a faster recovery process. To help with skin firmness after fat removal, Dr. Leandro Ricardo de Aquino Santos uses Renuvion and Argoplasma technologies for skin retraction. Safety is a top priority, with fat removal strictly limited to 7% of body weight. The surgeon also uses an adrenaline solution before aspiration to help minimize bleeding during the procedure.
Surgeon Expertise and Recovery
Dr. Leandro Ricardo de Aquino Santos is a plastic surgeon and a professor at the Federal University of Minas Gerais. He is a full member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery and has been elected as treasurer for the Minas Gerais chapter for 2026/2027. His practice follows evidence-based protocols to help patients reach their body goals safely. After surgery, patients wear compression garments for about 23 hours a day for at least 3 months. This helps manage swelling and helps the body mold to its new shape. In some cases, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is available to help with the healing process.

Consultório Dr. Leandro de Aquino: more details about the clinic
Consultório Dr. Leandro de Aquino is a private plastic surgery practice in the Vale do Sereno neighborhood of Nova Lima, Brazil. The clinic provides individualized care within a facility designed for privacy and comfort. Patients receive attention that covers the full care continuum – from the initial consultation through surgery and recovery.
Academic Expertise and Accreditations
The practice is led by Dr. Leandro de Aquino, a plastic surgeon with extensive clinical and academic background. He has been on staff at Rede Mater Dei de Saúde since 2019 and serves on the Face Trauma team. His credentials include:
- Accreditation by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP)
- TEMOS international certification
- Licensed specialist credentials with RQE 43900 and RQE 55958
- Professor at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) Medical School since 2025
Dr. Leandro de Aquino completed his medical training and plastic surgery residency at the UFMG University Hospital. He also served as a residency preceptor between 2016 and 2022. This academic focus keeps surgical protocols aligned with current evidence and safety standards.
Plastic Surgery Specialties
The clinic performs a wide range of aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Surgical plans address both cosmetic concerns and conditions requiring functional repair.
Facial Rejuvenation and Rhinoplasty
Facial procedures focus on restoring volume and correcting sagging tissues or deep wrinkles. For facelifts, the clinic offers several methods:
- Deep Plane Facelift for thorough tissue repositioning
- SMAS plication techniques
- Platysma plicature to address the neck area
Rhinoplasty services treat nasal aesthetics and breathing function together. Modern techniques preserve nasal anatomy while achieving the desired structural changes.
Breast and Body Contouring
The clinic offers breast augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy. For patients seeking a breast lift without implants, the Liacyr flap technique acts as a biological prosthesis. Mastopexy with implants may use the dual plane method or the Chiari L-technique.
Body contouring includes liposculpture to remove localized fat and various abdominal reshaping methods. The clinic offers MILA (Minimally Invasive Lipoabdominoplasty). This technique uses small incisions and tissue-retraction technologies, so recovery is faster than with traditional surgery.
Reconstructive and Intimate Surgery
Reconstructive services address deformities from congenital conditions or major weight loss, including post-bariatric cases. The practice also performs labiaplasty, most commonly for hypertrophy of the labia minora. Every surgical case involves a coordinated team covering anesthesia, nursing, and specialized monitoring.
Non-Surgical Aesthetic Treatments
The Cosmiatria department provides non-operative procedures for facial enhancement. These quick treatments work as standalone options or complement surgical results. Available services include:
- Botulinum toxin injections
- Dermal fillers for volume restoration
- Chemical peels
- Laser therapy
These treatments target skin quality and fine lines without the need for an operating room.
Recovery Support and Safety Protocols
Patient safety is managed through strict perioperative protocols, including rigorous asepsis and intraoperative monitoring. To support healing, the clinic offers hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a complementary treatment. This therapy helps tissue recovery after complex procedures in selected cases.
The clinic follows a structured postoperative plan. Specialists monitor swelling reduction and scar maturation over several months to achieve the best long-term results.
