About the clinic

Breast implants with a breast lift, or mastopexy, at the clinic of Dr. Thiago Costa in Porto Alegre, Brazil, combines volume restoration with a surgical lift to correct sagging. This procedure uses the Fast Track Recovery (R24H protocol), which allows many patients to return to daily activities within 24 hours. The clinic is known for its high standards, holding TEMOS International Healthcare Accreditation and a perfect 5.0 rating from 150+ reviews.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

The surgery typically lasts between 1.5 and 3 hours. Dr. Thiago Costa uses a dual-plane placement method, where the implant sits partly under the muscle for a natural look. To help prevent contamination, the medical team uses a Keller funnel. This device lets the surgeon insert the implant without it touching the patient's skin or the external environment. Incisions are usually small, measuring about 3-4 cm, and are hidden in the breast fold.

The Fast Track Recovery Protocol

Patients benefit from a specialized recovery plan designed for speed and comfort. Most people remain under observation for 6 to 12 hours after the surgery before going home. Key features of this recovery include:

Return to light work within 3 days if no physical effort is needed.
Ability to resume basic daily tasks within 24 hours.
Lymphedema drainage starting after the fourth day to reduce swelling.
Final aesthetic results visible between 3 and 6 months.

Personalized Care and Safety

The clinic offers several anesthesia choices, including local anesthesia with sedation, peridural, or general anesthesia. Every surgery aims to correct breast sagging (ptosis) grades 1 through 3 by repositioning the areola and removing excess skin. Patients must wear a surgical bra for at least one month and sleep on their backs during the initial healing phase. It is also important to avoid sun exposure and heat to help the scars heal properly.

Accreditation and Quality

Dr. Thiago Costa's clinic follows strict international safety guidelines. It holds certifications from the Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica (SBCP) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). These credentials, along with the TEMOS accreditation, verify that the facility meets rigorous global health standards for plastic surgery.

The clinic offers aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Each surgery includes a pre-operative evaluation and detailed treatment plan. All procedures take place in a hospital setting for full medical support.

Breast Surgery and Augmentation

The practice uses the Fast Track Recovery approach for breast augmentation. This helps patients return to daily activities faster. Surgeons make a small 3–4 cm incision in the breast fold. They use the Keller funnel to insert implants, which limits contact with the external environment. This technique often combines with the R24H (Recovery 24 Hours) protocol for quicker rehabilitation.

Body Contouring and Liposuction

The surgical team performs several body reshaping procedures:

Lipo HD and Lipo MD – high and medium definition liposuction to define muscles
Lipoabdominoplasty – combines excess skin removal with waist reshaping
360 Liposuction – treats the entire circumference of the torso
Gluteoplasty – includes silicone implants or fat transfer (Lipoenxertia)

For abdominoplasty, patients should be near their ideal weight. This leads to better results and safer recovery.

Facial and Reconstructive Procedures

Specialists offer Deep Plane and Endoscopic facelifts. These methods target deeper tissue layers for a more natural look. The clinic also treats gynecomastia (male breast reduction). This surgery typically takes 1–2 hours with a 12–24 hour hospital stay.

Care Standards and Technology

Before surgery, the medical team runs diagnostic screening:

Complete blood count (CBC)
Breast ultrasound and mammography
Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check heart health

Today I want to express my immense gratitude to Dr Thiago Costa. After going through moments of insecurity, frustration, and fear with a surgery that didn’t have the expected result, I found in his hands much more than an excellent professional—I found dedication, sensitivity, respect, and love for what he does. The correction you performed went beyond technical perfection. It is giving back my self-esteem, my confidence, and the joy of looking at myself in the mirror again. Every detail of the result shows the commitment of someone who truly understands that their work changes lives. Dr. Thiago, thank you for being a 1000/10 professional. Your dedication, competence, perfectionism, and love for what you do make all the difference in your patients’ lives. I will be eternally grateful for turning an experience of suffering into a story of overcoming. May your talent continue to return smiles, self-esteem, and happiness to many people, just as it did to me.

Dr. Thiago is an exceptional doctor and an incredible human being! I felt comfortable with him from the very first contact. During our consultation, after that he operated on my mother—and that’s when he truly won my heart and admiration. What care, what kindness, what service, and what an impeccable result! After that, I already knew that it would be with him that I would carry out the great transformation of my life—a complete surgery to restore my self-esteem... The whole process was very calm, transparent, and made easier, and I always felt welcomed and supported by Roberta, the doctor’s concierge, who makes and makes a difference in patients’ lives. I have no words to thank her for everything she did for me throughout this entire process—always kind, always willing to help with whatever I needed... It’s impossible not to fall in love with her! And lastly, but of unequal importance, I need to talk about Paula, who was with me in every appointment, who participated in my surgery, who literally held my hand when I fell asleep, and was the first person I saw when I woke up. She took care of me in every moment, came to my house, gave me my first bath, helped me with my questions via WhatsApp, and today she removed my stitches. What luck I have to have all of you! I could stay here for hours talking about how everyone should have a team like this in life. Thank you for everything! P.S.: I’m absolutely marvelous!

My experience was excellent. Dr. Thiago is such a wonderful person—sensitive, empathetic, truly a great human being. As a professional, he’s even better. I had a mastopexy with implants and it turned out beautiful!!! Exactly how I told him I wanted it. I highly recommend him….

I had my mastopexy in July 2026, and from the very first consultations I was muuuuchly well taken care of by the whole team (Dr. Thiago, Paulinha, Roberta). They are all very attentive, kind, and caring. I’m still in the healing process, but I’m already very happy with the result!!! You’re the best 💖💖💖

I will always be grateful to the entire team. I will never forget the care and kindness I received starting from my very first appointment, continuing through the surgery and throughout the entire post-operative period. Roberta and Paula were always ready to help me at every moment. The follow-up with the nutritionist Pri was also essential for my preparation and recovery. Following her guidance made all the difference in my post-operative period. To Dr. Thiago, my eternal gratitude. May God continue to bless his life and his mission. At my first appointment, I arrived with a folder of exams and a sad expression because of my health condition. My goal was not aesthetics, but health—and he understood. He listened to my entire story, explained every detail, respected my fears, and followed up closely, always with empathy, transparency, safety, and a great deal of humanity. At no point did he make me create false expectations; on the contrary, he was sincere and always pointed me to the best path with transparency. Today, thanks be to God and the gift He granted Dr. Thiago, I have my health back. And with the excellent work of the Dr, he also helped raise my self-esteem. I also thank the entire team that was present on the day of the surgery— the anesthesiologist, who welcomed me and reassured me— and Dr. Fábio, who accompanied me. Gratitude to Dr. Thiago and to the whole team for all the care, kindness, professionalism, and dedication. Excellence, safety, and humanized care sum up this team.

Dr Thiago, plastic surgeon, and his team are top!!!! He was wonderful throughout the surgeries I had. From the very first moment, he always showed great professionalism, ethics, responsibility, and above all, genuine care for my health and well-being. In every stage, I felt safe, welcomed, and confident, knowing that my choices were being guided with a lot of attention and respect for my limits. For me, the real difference is precisely that: safety, health, and care always come first, combined with work done with excellence and dedication. I’m very grateful for having chosen a professional I could fully trust. ❤️
