Liposuction in Dr. Felipe Patrus — Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics
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
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.
