Liposculpture in Dr. Rodrigo Rocha (Élan Clinic)
About the clinic
Liposculpture at Élan Clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, provides high-definition body contouring for patients seeking a more athletic and balanced silhouette. This procedure uses advanced Vaser and laser technologies to shape the body and help the skin retract effectively. Led by Dr. Rodrigo Rocha, the clinic offers personalized treatment plans for international patients through online consultations.
Advanced Contouring Techniques
Unlike traditional fat removal, liposculpture focuses on modeling the entire silhouette to improve body proportions. The medical team at Élan Clinic uses Vaser technology, which uses ultrasound waves to break down fat cells while protecting other tissues. They also use laser liposuction to help the skin tighten after the fat is removed. This combination helps create natural-looking definition in the abdomen, waist, and other target areas.

Dr. Rodrigo Rocha is a specialist in body contouring and breast surgery. He has performed 1,000+ surgical procedures throughout his career. Dr. Rocha is a former staff member at HMSA and holds official CRM and RQE registrations in Brazil.

Recovery and Results
Recovery times vary for each person depending on the extent of the surgery. Most patients can return to their normal daily activities within 7 to 14 days. During the first few weeks, patients must wear a compression garment to manage swelling and support the new contours. While initial changes are visible early on, the final results typically appear after 3 to 6 months as the body fully heals.

Surgical Specialties and Methods
The clinic specializes in body contouring and breast surgery. Every case starts with individualized planning to achieve natural-looking results. Surgeons recommend procedures only when medically appropriate for the patient.
Body Contouring Procedures
Specialists address localized fat, excess skin, and muscle separation. The clinic offers several techniques for abdominal and limb reshaping:
- Lipo HD (High Definition) to redefine body proportions and muscle highlights.
- Traditional liposuction for localized fat removal on the back, thighs, and love handles.
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to remove excess skin and repair separated abdominal muscles.
- Minimally invasive diastasis correction for patients who do not need large incisions.
- Brachioplasty (arm lift) for intense skin laxity after significant weight loss.
- Liposuction with skin retraction technologies for moderate arm laxity.
Patients receive a structured recovery guide after abdominal surgery. This covers posture, compression garment use, and gradual return to activity.
Breast Surgery and Reshaping
Breast procedures focus on volume, shape, and symmetry. The clinic treats sagging, volume loss, and disproportion through various surgical strategies:
- Mastopexy (breast lift) to reposition sagging tissue with or without silicone implants.
- Reduction mammaplasty to decrease volume and improve physical comfort.
- Augmentation mammaplasty using silicone, "Gummy Bear," or "Tear Drop" implants.
- Individualized asymmetry correction using different implant sizes or lifting techniques on each side.
- Gynecomastia treatment using Vaser liposuction for male breast reduction.
Recovery follows a staged timeline. Patients return to light activities within 14 days. Final results are typically assessed between 3 and 6 months.
Additional Procedures
The clinic provides other aesthetic and functional surgeries:
- Rhinoplasty, including open and tip-only techniques.
- Mommy makeover combinations to restore the body after pregnancy.
- Vaginoplasty for intimate rejuvenation.
- Panniculectomy to remove large aprons of skin after weight loss.
All surgeries take place in accredited surgical centers. These facilities provide the team and equipment needed for patient safety.
Diagnostic and Treatment Technology
Dr. Rocha uses ultrasonography for preoperative assessments. This tool helps evaluate muscle diastasis before abdominal surgery.
