Lipofilling (Fat Grafting) in Dr. Rubem Lang plastic surgeon
About the clinic
Lipofilling, also known as fat grafting, is available at the clinic of Dr. Rubem Lang in Porto Alegre, Brazil. This procedure uses the patient’s own tissue to add volume to the face, breasts, or buttocks while sculpting donor areas like the abdomen. Dr. Rubem Lang Stümpfle leads the practice with a history of treating over 20,000+ patients and holds TEMOS accreditation for international patient care.
Advanced Fat Transfer Techniques
The clinic uses the Vibrolipo method for fat harvesting. This power-assisted liposuction technique uses vibrations to loosen fat cells gently. This process helps reduce trauma to the body and minimizes bruising compared to older methods. Dr. Rubem Lang Stümpfle harvests fat from areas with localized deposits, such as the flanks, back, thighs, or arms. Once collected, the fat goes through a purification process to remove blood and broken cells. The doctor then reinjects the healthy fat into target areas to improve projection and contour.
Safety and Patient Care
Surgeries take place at Blanc Hospital, a dedicated facility for elective procedures. The hospital features 9 operating rooms and a full intensive care unit. Using the patient's own fat tissue removes the risk of allergic reactions or rejection. Dr. Rubem Lang Stümpfle is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery and has published original surgical techniques in international journals. Depending on the size of the treated area, the team uses either epidural or general anesthesia.
Recovery and Results
Most patients return to their desk jobs within 1 week of the procedure. You may experience swelling, redness, or bruising for about 3 weeks. The clinic suggests specific steps to help the healing process:
- Wearing medical compression garments to support the new body shape.
- Undergoing lymphatic drainage massages to reduce fluid buildup.
- Using ultrasound therapy to help the skin settle smoothly.
- Resting before returning to heavy physical exercise.
Full recovery typically takes 2 to 3 months as the transferred fat stabilizes in its new location. This combined approach allows for simultaneous slimming of the waist and augmentation of other features.
