About the clinic
Liposuction at the clinic of Dr. Felipe Patrus in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, helps patients reshape their body contours using modern surgical techniques. The clinic holds international accreditations from TEMOS, ISAPS, and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Dr. Felipe Patrus leads the practice, bringing expertise from his role as a residency preceptor at the Hospital Universitário Ciências Médicas.
Liposuction Methods and Technology
Dr. Felipe Patrus offers several techniques to suit different patient needs. These options include traditional aspiration, vibrolipoaspiration with vibrating cannulas, and laser-assisted methods. For those seeking muscle definition, the clinic provides High-Definition (Lipo HD) procedures. The team also uses Retraction Corporal technology. This specific tool helps the skin tighten and firm up during the body contouring process. Common treatment areas include the abdomen, arms, thighs, back, and neck.
Safety and Recovery Protocols
Patient safety starts with an individual risk evaluation before the surgery begins. Depending on the case, the surgeon uses local, general, or epidural anesthesia. The clinic follows strict recovery steps to help patients heal. You will need to wear compression garments for at least 30 days. Most patients begin lymphatic drainage massage a few days after the procedure. To prevent blood clots, patients must walk for a short time every two hours. You should avoid heavy lifting for 15 days and stay out of the sun for two months.
Combined Body Contouring
Many patients choose to combine liposuction with other surgeries for better results. Dr. Felipe Patrus performs liposculpture, where removed fat is grafted into the buttocks or other areas. Other options include lipoabdominoplasty to remove excess skin or breast reduction. For male patients, the clinic offers gynecomastia treatment to reduce breast tissue. While initial swelling fades in about 30 days, final body changes appear between 6 and 12 months after surgery.

Dr. Felipe Patrus — Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics: more details about the clinic
Brazil, Belo Horizonte
Dr. Felipe Patrus — Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics is a private plastic surgery practice in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The practice operates across three buildings and performs procedures through partner hospitals. These include Hospital Dia Centro Mineiro de Cirurgia Plástica, opened in 1996, along with Hospital Mater Dei and Hospital Vera Cruz.
Accreditations and Academic Leadership
Dr. Felipe Patrus is a specialist member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and holds recognition from the Ministry of Education (MEC). The clinic also carries credentials from ISAPS (International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) and ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons).
Dr. Patrus works as a preceptor for the plastic surgery residency at the University Hospital of Medical Sciences. He completed his own residency there after finishing general surgery training at Vera Cruz Hospital. This teaching role keeps the practice grounded in current surgical techniques.
Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring
The clinic covers a wide range of aesthetic procedures for the face and body. Surgeons use Retraction Corporal technology to improve skin firmness during contouring. For gluteal augmentation, two main options are available:
- Silicone implants placed within the gluteus maximus muscle using oval or round prostheses.
- Fat grafting (lipoenxertia), which uses the patient's own fat cells as a natural alternative.
The team also performs liposuction, abdominoplasty, and thigh lifting. Brachioplasty (arm surgery) and calf augmentation address specific contouring needs. Facial options include rhinoplasty, ritidoplasty (facelift), and blepharoplasty for aging around the eyes.
Mammology and Breast Procedures
Breast surgery is a core specialty, covering both aesthetic and reconstructive needs. For mild sagging, the clinic uses the Periareolar (Donut) technique. The Vertical (Lollipop) technique works better for significant tissue descent. Both methods reposition the nipple and areola to a more youthful height.
The practice also treats Gynecomastia – overdevelopment of male breast tissue. After ruling out hormonal causes, surgeons remove excess fat and gland tissue. For female patients, breast augmentation can be performed alone or with a lift. Implants go above or below the muscle based on anatomy.
Safety Protocols and Recovery Support
The clinic follows a strict protocol to reduce thrombosis risk during and after surgery. This includes compression stockings, early movement, and anticoagulants when needed. Every patient gets an individualized pre-operative evaluation to identify potential risks.
Recovery follows a structured aftercare plan. Patients must stick to specific activity limits and hygiene measures for proper healing. The standard protocol includes:
- Walking for short intervals every two hours to prevent blood clots.
- Wearing surgical compression garments for at least 30 days.
- Starting professional lymphatic drainage a few days after surgery.
- Avoiding sun exposure for at least two months to protect healing tissue.
- No physical activity or heavy lifting for at least 15 days.
Most visible swelling fades within 30 days. Final results typically appear between 6 and 12 months. Long-term follow-up helps catch complications during late-stage healing.
International Patient Services
The practice treats patients from other Brazilian states and abroad. Recovery guidance is available in English and Portuguese to help with travel planning. Partner hospitals offer up to 154 beds for patients who need overnight observation.

Today I complete 3 months since the realization of my greatest dream! ❤️✨
Dr. Felipe Patrus managed to bring back something that goes far beyond aesthetics: he restored my self-esteem, my joy, my hope, and my desire to look at myself in the mirror and feel beautiful again.
Today, when I look in the mirror, I see a happy, fulfilled, confident woman full of life. A woman who has returned to feeling beautiful, elegant, and comfortable with herself. And there is no price that can be paid for this feeling!
It took 17 years waiting for this moment, dreaming about the day when I could finally fulfill this desire. And that day has arrived! Today, I live every moment intensely, with a heart full of gratitude and the certainty that it was worth waiting.
Dr. Felipe Patrus, thank you for being part of such an important transformation in my life. My gratitude goes far beyond the physical result, because you were part of a reconnection with myself. ❤️
I recommend your work with my eyes closed! An excellent professional, human, dedicated, and with hands blessed by God. May the Lord continue to illuminate your hands, guide your decisions, and bless your mission of transforming lives.
Today I celebrate 3 months since my surgery, but I also celebrate a new phase in my life—my renewed self-esteem and the happiness of fulfilling a dream I waited 17 years for! 🙏🏻❤️

I had my surgery with Dr Felipe in August 2026. I had an abdominoplasty, liposuction, and liposuction for my double chin. I only have thanks to him. He’s an excellent professional, extremely polite, and makes you feel very safe. With his wonderful team—since my very first consultation I already knew it would be him doing my surgery. He was always transparent. Today I’m 47 days post-surgery, and it was the best choice I could have made. I feel like a different person—my self-esteem is back. He turned a dream into reality. An excellent professional. I recommend him without hesitation. Only thanks to him and the team. May God continue to bless you all. Thank you 🙏🏻🥰🥰

I can’t find the words to describe what this surgery means in my life — breast reduction and lift. The importance it had for my body and my emotions was just as important as trusting the surgeon. I had already had two consultations with other doctors, but when I met Dr Filipe, I knew right away it would be with him. In the clinic or at the Nôtre Dame — thank God 🙌 — it was very calm and reassuring.

Loved it! Dr. Patrus and his team are attentive from beginning to end. All the questions I had were answered, and the surgery itself had a perfect result. I’m 30 days into my post-surgery recovery and I’m already very happy—my scar is hardly noticeable. I highly recommend it.
Dr. Felipe Patrus makes dreams come true.

I’m super satisfied with the result of my surgery with Dr. Felipe. My breast tissue was quite dense and heavy—it was always big, but after menopause it became enormous. I had a mastopexy without implants and I loved the result. I regret not having done it earlier. The recovery has been really smooth, and Dr. Felipe gives us a lot of confidence.

From the very first contact, Dr. made me feel very secure and calm. He was always extremely polite, attentive, and friendly. What struck me the most was the way he handled everything—he always set expectations that were completely realistic and made me feel safe at every stage of the process.
I also need to talk about the result! Even though I’m still in the recovery phase, I’m very happy and in love with the outcome. It turned out exactly as we discussed and as I expected, and seeing my body take the shape I had imagined is a truly special experience. I’m sure that, as recovery progresses, I’ll be even happier!
The entire clinic team was wonderful! At every moment—before, during, and after the surgery—they were available to answer my questions, always with great attention, care, and kindness. The receptionist, together with Dr., completely won my heart and, above all, my trust.
I truly felt welcomed and cared for throughout the whole process. I had all the support I needed, and that made all the difference for me.
Today, I’m certain that choosing this clinic was the best decision for me—not only to take care of my health, but also to do something that meant so much to my self-esteem. I will keep each of them in my heart forever with so much affection.
I’m very grateful for all the care, professionalism, kindness, and safety they provided me. And, of course, for managing to deliver a result that is making me so happy and satisfied.
Without a doubt, I’ll recommend them to everyone I can, and I recommend them with my eyes closed!
Thank you for being part of such an important moment in my life.

Today was my 30-day follow-up after my mastopexy surgery without implants. I only have praise to give. The healing has been excellent—I practically didn’t have any pain—and the result so far is coming out the way I expected. Also, Dr Felipe and the entire team were extremely attentive. You can choose Dr Felipe without fear. I highly recommend him.

A month ago, I fulfilled my big dream with Dr. Felipe—I had my abdominoplasty—and I can say that I’m more and more in love and happy with the result every day! I must admit I was very afraid of the surgery, but to my surprise, the whole process was much calmer than I had imagined. From the first appointment, I was extremely well taken care of and welcomed by the entire team. Everyone is very attentive, careful, and professional. The surgery—which was what frightened me the most—ended up being the easiest part of the entire process.
Today, as each day passes, I’m even more enchanted by the result. It turned out even better than I imagined! I’m very happy and fulfilled with my stomach, and I’m already looking forward to the next step: the long-awaited silicone. 🥰
And I had a very special confirmation that I chose the right doctor. Recently, at a party, I met an old patient of Dr. Felipe, not knowing that she had also had surgery with him. When I mentioned that I’d had my abdominoplasty, she told me that she had received silicone with Dr. Felipe about 10 years ago, and that even to this day she’s extremely satisfied. She said she’s never had anything to complain about, that the result is still perfect, and that she recommends the doctor with her eyes closed. I was very happy and surprised by that coincidence!
So, girls, you can trust! If I could give advice, it would be: choose someone who truly makes you feel safe and confident. Dr. Felipe and the entire team are excellent and were part of making a very important dream come true for me.
Dr. Felipe, thank you so much for all the care, professionalism, and for turning this dream into reality! ❤️
I’m in love with my stomach. Now, let’s go for the next step! ✨

Dr. Patrus,
Good afternoon!
There are professionals who practice a profession. And there are those who transform lives. Today I want to honor one of these professionals: Dr. Felipe Pátrus.
My gratitude goes far beyond the mastopexy he performed on me. I’m grateful for the way he welcomed me, his dedication, respect, the calmness and sense of security he conveyed from the very first moment. In every consultation and every piece of guidance, I felt that I was being cared for with humanity and excellence.
The result was wonderful and exceeded my expectations. More than a physical change, I found my self-esteem, my confidence, and the happiness of feeling good about myself again.
Gratitude as well to the entire team, who accompanied me with so much care, attention, and professionalism throughout the whole journey.
Dr. Felipe Pátrus, may God continue to guide your hands, illuminate your paths, and bless your life, so that you can keep turning dreams into reality and returning to so many women the joy of smiling at the mirror with confidence.
Thank you very much for being part of this special transformation in my life.
Gratitude,
Ilda Nascimento
