About the clinic

He uses specialized methods like the SAFER technique and Power Assisted Liposuction to improve patient recovery and aesthetic outcomes.
Advanced Liposuction Techniques
Dr. Pedro Westphalen uses the SAFER technique to help create uniform body contours. This method allows the surgeon to reuse harvested fat for grafting during the same session. Many patients choose this option for gluteal enhancement to improve their overall silhouette. The clinic also features the Lipo HD Total Definer approach. This specialized high-definition sculpting helps highlight natural muscle contours for a more athletic appearance.
Faster Recovery with PAL Technology
The clinic uses Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL) equipped with Micro Aire vibrating cannulas. This technology makes fat removal much gentler compared to traditional methods. By reducing tissue trauma, the PAL system helps minimize bruising and swelling after the procedure. Patients often experience a faster return to their daily activities due to this less invasive approach. Dr. Westphalen was also a pioneer in using Ignite Quantum RF technology in the Rio Grande do Sul region.

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.
Surgical Specialties
The clinic offers a full range of aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries. Each procedure includes a detailed treatment plan created during the initial consultation:
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and post-bariatric skin removal
- Breast procedures including implants, lifts, and reductions
- Facial surgery such as blepharoplasty (eyelid correction)
- Gynecomastia surgery to treat enlarged male breast tissue
- Intimate surgery for aesthetic or functional corrections
Post-surgical care is central to the practice. The team guides patients from the first meeting through full recovery.
