Tummy tuck in Dr. Fabiano Arruda – Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
A tummy tuck at Dr. Fabiano Arruda – Plastic Surgery in Goiânia, Brazil, focuses on reshaping the midsection by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure also repairs separated abdominal muscles, known as diastasis recti, to improve core strength and posture. The clinic offers modern techniques like lipoabdominoplasty, which combines liposuction with skin removal for a natural body contour.
Treatment Methods and Technologies
Patients can choose from different techniques based on their specific needs. The clinic performs classical abdominoplasty for significant skin removal and mini abdominoplasty for smaller adjustments. For those wanting better skin tightening, the surgical team uses Renuvion (J-Plasma) or Argoplasma. These technologies help the skin retract more effectively after fat removal. The surgical team positions the scar strategically so it remains hidden under a bikini or underwear.
Preparation and Safety
Safety is a priority before any surgical intervention. Patients must stop smoking at least 30 days before the surgery and continue this for 30 days after. A full medical evaluation and several pre-operative tests are mandatory to confirm the patient is ready for the procedure. Following these guidelines helps lower the risk of complications like infection or poor wound healing.
Recovery Timeline
The recovery process follows a specific schedule to help the body heal correctly. Patients follow these steps:
- First week: Relative rest is required, and surgeons may use drains to prevent fluid buildup.
- Weeks 2-3: Most people return to light daily activities.
- 30 days: Patients usually resume their normal daily routine.
- 60 days: The compression garment is typically worn for this long to reduce swelling.
- One year: The scar matures completely and reaches its final appearance.
Post-Operative Care
Care after surgery involves wearing a compression garment for 30 to 60 days. This support garment helps the muscles heal and keeps swelling down. The clinic provides a protocol for thrombosis prevention, which includes early walking as tolerated. Following every post-op instruction is vital to achieving a definitive result within six months of the surgery. To learn more about treatment options, you may request a consultation on Bookimed.

Facial Surgery and Rhinoplasty
The clinic specializes in advanced facial procedures, particularly ultrasonic rhinoplasty. This method uses the Piezotomo device to deliver micro-ultrasonic vibrations. These vibrations allow precise bone sculpting while protecting surrounding soft tissues. The team uses this technology for both open and closed rhinoplasty.
Facial rejuvenation treatments include:
- Deep Plane Facelift – targets deeper facial support layers rather than just skin
- Blepharoplasty – eyelid rejuvenation
- Mentoplasty – chin reshaping
- Fat grafting – using the patient's own fat to restore facial volume
Planning involves a detailed medical history and physical exam. Patients must stop smoking at least four weeks before and after surgery. This helps ensure proper healing. Surgeons often combine rhinoplasty with septoplasty to improve breathing.
Body Contouring and Breast Surgery
Body surgery at the clinic combines surgical techniques with energy-based technologies. High-definition liposuction (HD Lipo) emphasizes natural muscle anatomy. To improve skin contraction after fat removal, the clinic uses Renuvion (J-Plasma) and Argoplasma. These tools help address tissue laxity in carefully selected patients.
The clinic offers a range of body and breast procedures:
- Lipoabdominoplasty – combines tummy tuck techniques with liposuction
- Mommy Makeover – personalized combination of breast and abdominal restoration
- Gluteoplasty – buttock enhancement using fat transfer or implants
- Breast aesthetics – including augmentation, mastopexy (lift), and reduction
- Labiaplasty – reshaping while preserving sensitivity
Each surgical plan depends on anatomy, skin quality, and available fat stores. The team also treats gynecomastia using Vaser technology to remove excess male breast tissue.
Advanced Medical Technologies
The practice stands out through its use of specific surgical platforms. The Piezotomo device is the primary tool for nasal bone remodeling. For skin tightening, Renuvion provides energy-based tissue retraction. Technology choices are based on individual diagnosis, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Services for International Patients
The clinic treats international patients with a structured care pathway. Pre-operative instructions and recovery plans are provided to those traveling for surgery. Staff can assist in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Recovery protocols include thrombosis prevention, compression garment guidance, and early mobilization programs.
