Lipofilling (Fat Grafting) in Pereira Filho Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
Lipofilling, also known as fat grafting, at Pereira Filho Plastic Surgery in Porto Alegre, Brazil, uses a patient's own tissue to restore volume and improve skin texture. The procedure is led by Dr. Gustavo de Azambuja Pereira Filho, who brings over 20 years of experience and has performed 5,000+ surgeries. This method offers a natural alternative to synthetic fillers by using autologous fat to enhance areas like the face, cheeks, and lips.
Advanced Fat Grafting Techniques
The clinic uses a specialized fractionated fat grafting technique. Dr. Gustavo de Azambuja Pereira Filho performs layered microinjections to help the fat integrate smoothly with existing tissue. The process begins with low-pressure harvesting to keep the fat cells alive and healthy. The team then purifies the tissue to remove excess oils and fluids before injection. This preparation helps the graft behave like living tissue once it is in place.
The application involves creating retrograde microtunnels across different anatomical planes. This method avoids lumps and creates a natural look. Beyond adding volume, the fat contains stromal cells and a connective tissue matrix. These elements can improve the quality and texture of the overlying skin. Because the graft is the patient's own tissue, the results are long-lasting and respond naturally to weight changes.
Expertise of Dr. Gustavo de Azambuja Pereira Filho
Dr. Gustavo de Azambuja Pereira Filho is a highly qualified plastic surgeon with a Master’s Degree in Surgery and Graft Pathology. He is a full member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and an international member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).

Dr. Gustavo Pereira Filho serves as medical director. He brings over 15 years of surgical experience and has performed over 5,000 surgeries. He holds a Master's Degree in Surgery and Graft Pathology and has authored more than 10 scientific publications.
Surgical Specialties and Techniques
The clinic focuses on body contouring and facial rejuvenation for natural-looking outcomes. A multidisciplinary team – lead surgeon, assistant surgeon, and senior anesthesiologist – manages every procedure.
Body Contouring and Abdominoplasty
Specialists perform Abdominoplastia MD, a technique tailored to where excess skin is located. Surgeons may target the area above the navel, the flanks, or the pubic region. These procedures typically take 60 to 120 minutes in a hospital setting.
The clinic uses LIPO MD and LIPO HD concepts for body sculpting. These methods use specialized cannulas and compression molds to create athletic definition.
Breast and Intimate Surgery
The surgical team offers mastopexy (breast lift) with or without implants. This restores shape based on existing tissue volume. For intimate rejuvenation, the clinic performs W-plasty labiaplasty. This technique reduces the labia minora while leaving virtually no visible scars. It can be combined with fat grafting to the labia majora for complete restoration.
Facial Rejuvenation
Surgeons take a three-dimensional approach to facial surgery. They treat superficial, middle, and deep tissue layers. The Rapid-Recovery Facelift uses a drain-free technique, so healing is simpler. This procedure can be combined with blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or brow elevation.
The clinic also performs autologous facial fat transfer. This restores volume using the patient's own tissue.
Advanced Medical Technologies
The clinic uses specific platforms to enhance surgical precision and patient safety. Renuvion technology is available for skin tightening after liposuction. For skin resurfacing, surgeons use a Fractional CO2 Laser.
All major surgeries use Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA). This method allows precise control of sedation levels and often results in smoother waking.
Services for International Patients
The Surgical Experience program provides full support for patients traveling from abroad. A trilingual concierge assists in Portuguese, English, and Italian. The clinic offers online consultations so patients can plan their journey before traveling. Support services include:
- Private executive transfers from Salgado Filho International Airport
- Accommodation in 5-star hotels or selected premium apartments
- Specialized nursing care and physiotherapy during recovery
- Daily follow-up contacts with the medical team
Accelerated recovery protocols help patients return to light activities within days. The administrative team coordinates all logistics from arrival through the final post-operative check.
