Liposculpture at the clinic of Dr. Rafael Andres in Porto Alegre, Brazil, is a body contouring procedure that removes fat from one area to shape another. This method helps patients who have stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. Dr. Rafael Andres is a specialist plastic surgeon and a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP).
This procedure is a form of fat repositioning. Dr. Rafael Andres uses lipoaspiration to collect fat from areas like the abdomen or waist. This fat is then cleaned and reinjected into target areas to add volume. Common areas for reinjection include the glutes, facial grooves, thighs, and calves. The goal is to create smoother body contours rather than just removing weight. This treatment works best for patients who are near their ideal weight.
Safety is a priority for Dr. Rafael Andres before any surgery begins. Every patient must complete a specific set of medical tests. These tests help identify potential risks and confirm the patient is ready for the procedure.
Recovery involves specific steps to help the body heal correctly. Patients must wear a compression garment for 30 days. After the first month, the garment is worn part-time for up to 90 days. Dr. Rafael Andres also recommends lymphatic drainage massages to reduce swelling. International patients should follow a strict travel protocol. This includes resting for at least 72 hours after any flight longer than three hours. This rest period helps lower the risk of thrombosis.
Dr. Rafael Andres earned his medical degree from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul. He completed his specialization in plastic surgery at Cristo Redentor Hospital. To help international patients, the clinic offers telemedicine consultations in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
