Breast Implants with Breast Lift in Dr. Marcio Littleton
About the clinic
Breast implants with a breast lift, also known as augmentation mastopexy, is a procedure offered at the clinic of Dr. Marcio Littleton in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This surgery combines lifting the breast tissue and adding volume using high-cohesivity silicone gel implants. The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation, which shows a commitment to international medical standards and patient safety.
Dr. Marcio Littleton leads the surgical team with over 20 years of experience in plastic surgery. He is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. His international training helps him perform complex breast reshaping with high precision. Dr. Littleton works with each patient to choose between round or anatomical silicone gel implants for a natural appearance.
Surgical Options and Methods
The procedure uses different techniques based on the patient's anatomy and desired look. Dr. Littleton offers several incision types to manage scarring:
- Axillary incision, which places the scar in the armpit so the breast remains scar-free.
- Inframammary incision, located in the natural fold under the breast.
- Periareolar incision, made around the edge of the nipple area.
The surgeon can place the implants either above the muscle (subglandular) or under the muscle (subpectoral). Surgery happens under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Most patients stay in the hospital for one night, though some go home the same day.
Recovery and Aftercare
The recovery process is designed for a quick return to normal life. Most patients can resume light daily activities within 48 hours. Medical staff remove surgical drains after 2 to 5 days, and stitches are typically removed within 7 to 10 days. While initial healing is fast, swelling takes about 3 to 5 weeks to resolve fully.
Patients receive a compressive bra to wear during the healing phase. A follow-up visit is scheduled one week after the surgery to monitor progress. Although risks are low, capsular contracture occurs in about 5% of cases. The clinic provides detailed instructions to help minimize these risks during the healing period.

Accreditations and Professional Standings
The clinic holds TEMOS accreditation, signaling a commitment to international medical standards. Dr. Marcio Littleton is a member of several professional organizations:
- Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica
- Société Monégasque de Chirurgie Plastique et Esthétique
- World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH)
The surgical team includes three doctors. Their specialties are registered with the Conselho Federal de Medicina and officially recognized in Spain and Portugal.
Intimate and Reconstructive Surgery
The clinic specializes in genital feminine surgery and functional corrections of the vulva. Specialists treat conditions such as clitoral hypertrophy and ambiguous genitalia (intersex). Reconstructive procedures often address complex cases like vaginal agenesis – the congenital absence of the vagina.
For vaginal reconstruction, the team uses the Jejunal Miomucosal Graft technique. This method creates a neovagina with a double layer of muscle and mucosa, so it stays naturally moist and elastic. The clinic performs several specialized intimate procedures:
- Vaginoplasty for tightening and rejuvenation
- Ninfoplasty (reduction of the labia minora)
- Himenoplasty (hymen reconstruction)
- Clitoroplasty for aesthetic or functional needs
- Perineoplasty to repair the perineal area
Himenoplasty patients can typically resume sexual activity between the second and fourth week after surgery. Vaginoplasty may be performed under local anesthesia with sedation. This approach requires a 24-hour hospital stay.
Transgender Health and Gender-Affirming Care
The clinic provides gender-affirming surgeries within a dedicated transgender health program. For Male-to-Female cases, surgeons perform transgenitalization using advanced neocolpovulvoplastia techniques. These procedures aim for natural functional results. Female-to-Male (FTM) patients can access several surgical options:
- Definitive metoidioplasty
- Preparatory metoidioplasty to prepare for a neofallo
- Neofaloplastia with a scar positioned on the waist line
Transgenitalization surgeries typically require an operating time of 9 hours. Patients stay in the hospital for at least 5 days. The clinic recommends a total stay of 21 days in Rio de Janeiro for full monitoring.
Aesthetic Medicine and Body Contouring
The practice offers a range of facial and body enhancement procedures. Surgeons perform breast augmentation, reduction, and reconstructions. During consultations, patients use specially developed fittings to test different implant volumes. This helps determine the best proportions before surgery.
Most breast surgeries require one night of hospitalization. Patients can usually resume daily activities within 48 hours. Stitches are typically removed between the 7th and 10th day. Swelling generally resolves by the fifth week.
Non-surgical options include Botox for gummy smile correction. This procedure takes only a few minutes and lasts between 3 and 6 months.

Dr. Marcio Littleton maintains an international orientation with regular surgical seasons in Europe. Consultations and procedures take place in cities like Lisbon and Milan. The team offers medical support in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, so patients traveling from abroad can communicate clearly.
