Breast Implants with Breast Lift in Dr. Herbert Mendonça — plastic surgery
About the clinic
Breast implants with a breast lift, also known as mastopexy with augmentation, is a surgery to restore volume and lift sagging breasts. At the clinic of Dr. Herbert Mendonça in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, patients receive specialized care from a surgeon with over 30 years of experience. This combined procedure uses silicone implants and specific suturing methods to create a more youthful breast shape.
Expert Surgical Care
Dr. Herbert Mendonça leads the clinic with over 30 years of experience in plastic surgery. He has performed over 7,000 surgeries throughout his career. His focus on breast procedures helps patients achieve balanced and natural results. The clinic offers online consultations to help international patients plan their journey before traveling to Brazil.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
The clinic uses the submuscular placement method for silicone implants. This means the implant sits beneath the chest muscle for a more natural look. To maintain the lift over time, Dr. Herbert Mendonça uses an internal bra suture technique. This internal support helps keep the cleavage defined and prevents the breasts from sagging again quickly.
Discreet Scarring and Recovery
Dr. Herbert Mendonça uses a periareolar incision for this surgery. The incision is made along the border of the areola. Placing the scar in this naturally pigmented area makes it very hard to see once healed. Patients typically return to work within 7 to 10 days after the procedure. Light exercise can usually resume after 30 days, while scars continue to fade over several months.
Safety and Preparation
Safety is a priority during the surgical process. Before the operation, patients undergo a cardiac evaluation and laboratory tests. The medical team also provides guidance on weight management and medication use. To help recovery, patients are encouraged to walk early after surgery and use compression stockings. These steps help prevent blood clots and promote healthy healing.

Dr. Herbert Mendonça — plastic surgery: more details about the clinic
Dr. Herbert Mendonça is a specialized plastic surgery practice in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The clinic operates as a single-doctor facility focused on facial rejuvenation and body contouring. Dr. Herbert Mendonça leads the practice with nearly 30 years of surgical experience.
Advanced Body Contouring and Facial Rejuvenation
The clinic emphasizes individualized planning for every procedure to achieve natural results. Dr. Herbert Mendonça holds medical registration CRM 25.409 in Minas Gerais. The practice follows a patient-centered workflow with detailed recovery timelines and surgical-day updates.
Specialties and Surgical Methods
The practice focuses on three primary areas of plastic surgery. Each approach combines traditional techniques with modern technology to refine physical contours.
Facial Plastic Surgery
Dr. Mendonça performs facial procedures designed to restore expression without changing the patient's identity. The clinic often combines multiple techniques for facial symmetry and balance:
- Facelift for lifting sagging skin and deeper tissues
- Blepharoplasty to address excess skin around the eyelids
- Lip lift to shorten the space between the nose and mouth
- Silicone chin implants to refine the chin and jawline contour
Facial tissues typically settle around 4–6 months after surgery. The clinic provides a phased recovery plan to monitor tissue adaptation during this time.
Body Contouring and Liposuction
The clinic offers high-definition body sculpting to improve muscle visibility and skin adherence. Lipo HD removes fat while defining the underlying muscular structure. The practice often combines liposuction with gluteal fat grafting to enhance buttock shape and volume.
Abdominoplasty and mini-abdominoplasty are available for patients needing abdominal wall correction. Postoperative care includes a strict 30-day compression garment protocol and managed hydration.
Breast Surgery
Breast procedures at the clinic prioritize a defined neckline and natural breast shape. Dr. Mendonça performs mastopexy with silicone implants – a technique that lifts the breasts while adding volume. The clinic places implants via the areola border. This positions the scar in the lower half of the areola, making it more discreet.
Medical Technology
The clinic uses argon plasma energy in surgical workflows. This technology supports skin retraction in areas treated with liposuction.
- Argoplasma (Argon 4): This device delivers plasma energy through the same incisions used for liposuction.
- Tissue Contraction: The energy helps contract tissues between the skin and muscles.
- Collagen Stimulation: The system triggers progressive collagen production for long-term skin adherence.
Argoplasma can provide better skin retraction than traditional liposuction alone.
Services for International Patients
The practice treats patients from outside Brazil and offers a dedicated workflow for foreigners. Online consultations help international patients establish a treatment plan before traveling. The clinic team communicates in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.
