Advanced Body Contouring and Liposuction
The clinic specializes in high-definition body sculpting using the Lipo HD Total Definer technique. This method creates defined muscle contours while removing excess fat. Surgeons use specialized tools to improve results and patient safety:
- Técnica SAFER – an advanced liposuction method for uniform results. Surgeons can reuse harvested fat for grafting in the same session.
- Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL) – a system with vibrating cannulas that break down fat cells gently.
- Vibrolipo (Micro Aire) – a technology that reduces tissue trauma during fat removal. This often means less bruising and faster recovery.
These methods are often combined with fat grafting to enhance the gluteal region or other areas.
Minimally Invasive and Non-Surgical Options
Dr. Westphalen was the first to introduce Ignite Quantum RF in Rio Grande do Sul. This radiofrequency platform remodels deep fat layers and tightens skin without large incisions. The clinic also uses Morpheus8 by InMode.
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with fractionated radiofrequency energy. This stimulates collagen production deep within the skin. Patients see improvements in wrinkles, skin laxity, and surface irregularities on face and body.
