Lipofilling (Fat Grafting) in Dr. João Carlos Correa Eschiletti
About the clinic
Lipofilling at the clinic of Dr. João Carlos Correa Eschiletti in Porto Alegre, Brazil, uses a patient's own fat to restore volume to the face, breasts, or body. This natural method avoids synthetic fillers and is performed by a surgeon recognized by Veja magazine as a top specialist in the country. The clinic holds international TEMOS and ISAPS accreditations, following high safety standards for global patients.
The Lipofilling Procedure
The process uses autologous fat transfer, which means moving fat from one part of the body to another. This technique often combines liposuction and fat grafting in a single session. The surgeon first removes fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs. After processing, this fat is injected into target areas to improve contours.
- Face: This treats deep wrinkles and adds volume to sunken cheeks.
- Buttocks: Also known as a Brazilian Butt Lift, this reshapes the rear.
- Hands: This helps hide visible veins and restores a youthful look.
- Breasts: This provides a natural alternative to implants for minor volume increases.
Expertise of Dr. João Eschiletti
Dr. João Carlos Correa Eschiletti leads the surgical team with over 40 years of experience in plastic surgery. He is a Titular Member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). Dr. Eschiletti also holds a Master in Medicine from the University of Porto. His long career focuses on body contouring and medical nutrition to help patients reach their goals safely.
Surgery and Recovery Details
The operation typically lasts between 1 to 5 hours depending on the areas treated. Doctors use various anesthesia types, such as local with sedation or general anesthesia. Patients stay in the hospital for 12 to 24 hours for monitoring. Before the procedure, patients should be close to their ideal weight for the best outcome.
Recovery happens in stages over several months. Initial swelling usually goes down after about 3 weeks. Some internal firmness, called fibrosis, may last for 2 to 4 months. You will see the final results of the fat transfer after about 6 months. Because the procedure uses your own tissue, there is a very low risk of rejection.

Key Facts and Professional Standing
The clinic is led by Dr. João Carlos Correa Eschiletti. He is a full member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and holds a Master's degree from the University of Porto. Dr. Eschiletti graduated from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in 1980. He brings over 40 years of medical experience to his practice.

- Recognition by Veja magazine as a leading plastic surgeon in Brazil
Three physicians coordinate surgical and nutritional treatments under one roof.
Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring
The surgical department performs body and breast procedures. Surgeons use SILIMED implants for breast augmentation and mastopexy. For patients who have lost significant weight, the clinic offers post-bariatric plastic surgery. This removes excess skin while nutritional monitoring helps maintain stable weight.
Abdominal contouring is a major focus, with several techniques available:
- Classic abdominoplasty for complete tissue dissection
- Mini-abdominoplasty using a shorter incision for localized correction
- Anchor-type abdominoplasty for extensive skin removal after obesity
- Reverse tummy tuck for upper abdominal sagging
Liposculpture combines fat removal with fat grafting. Surgeons transfer harvested fat to the face, buttocks, or hands to restore lost volume. This treats localized fat deposits while filling natural contours – no synthetic fillers needed.
Facial Rejuvenation and Otorhinolaryngology
Facial surgeries address both aesthetic goals and breathing issues. Facelift procedures take 2–6 hours and typically require a 12–24 hour hospital stay. Surgeons can combine these with eyelid surgery or endoscopic forehead lifting to minimize visible scarring.
The clinic treats several nose and ear conditions:
- Rhinoplasty to correct septal deviations and improve breathing
- Nose reshaping for drooping tips or wide nostrils
- Otoplasty to correct prominent ears or injury-related deformities
- Intimate surgery for physical comfort and appearance
Ear correction involves an incision behind the ear and internal sutures to reshape cartilage. Since the clinic integrates medical nutrition, specialists can optimize a patient's health before surgery. This supports better healing.
Patient Recovery and Logistics
Every surgical case comes with a detailed recovery plan. Breast surgery patients follow specific positioning protocols to protect stitches. Tummy tuck recovery includes compression garments for 2–3 weeks. Patients should avoid strenuous activity for up to 6 weeks. Final results are typically assessed between months three and four.
The clinic offers these amenities:
- On-site parking within the building complex
- Pre-surgical consultations to align expectations
- Direct communication with the lead physician
- Guidance on post-operative garments and activity limits
These protocols help patients understand each phase – from first consultation through final recovery.
