Breast augmentation in Plastic surgery (Dr. Gustavo R. Moreno)
About the clinic
Breast augmentation at Arte Cirúrgica in Brazil offers patients a choice between silicone implants or fat transfer techniques. Led by Dr. Gustavo Rincón Moreno in Brasília and Rio de Janeiro, the procedure typically involves a consultation fee of around $50. Dr. Moreno brings over 20 years of experience to each surgery, having trained at the prestigious Instituto Ivo Pitanguy.
Advanced Surgical Methods
The clinic provides several options to achieve a natural look. While subglandular and subfascial placements are available, Dr. Moreno uses the submuscular plane in 98% of cases. This placement helps lower the risk of capsular contracture and creates a softer appearance. Patients can choose between round or anatomical silicone implants depending on their desired shape. For those seeking a smaller enhancement, fat transfer from the lumbar region can add up to 200 ml per breast.
Safety and Hospital Standards
Surgeries take place at Hospital DF-Star, which features an intensive care unit and a 24-hour medical team. This setting helps manage patient safety throughout the 90 to 120-minute procedure. Before surgery, patients undergo a full check-up including a breast ultrasound, mammography, and blood tests. Most patients stay in the hospital for 24 hours for monitoring.
Incision Options and Recovery
Dr. Moreno uses video-endoscopic techniques for axillary incisions. This method places the scar in the armpit, leaving no visible marks on the breast tissue. Other options include inframammary or periareolar incisions. Recovery involves specific steps to help the healing process:
- Hospital stay: 24 hours of inpatient care.
- Stitch removal: Usually occurs by day 8.
- Activity: No heavy physical effort for the first 8 days.
- Dressing care: Patients begin changing elastic modeling dressings on day 3.
Long-term Results
The final shape of the breast is usually visible by 18 months as scars mature. Dr. Moreno is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. His expertise helps patients choose the right volume and technique for their body type. You can request a consultation or learn more about these options by leaving a request on Bookimed.

How are we doing?
Plastic surgery (Dr. Gustavo R. Moreno): more details about the clinic
Arte Cirúrgica is a private plastic surgery practice in Brazil. The clinic has branches in Brasília and Rio de Janeiro. It provides aesthetic and reconstructive surgery under Dr. Gustavo R. Moreno. The team focuses on natural results by balancing medical science with an artistic approach to facial and body harmony.
Safety Standards and Accreditations
The clinic follows a strict safety policy for major operations. Medium and large surgeries take place only in full-service hospitals. In Brasília, procedures happen at Hospital DF-Star. This facility provides advanced infrastructure for surgical care:
- Fully equipped operating center
- Intensive Care Unit (ICU)
- 24-hour medical staffing and specialized nursing
- Advanced sterilization standards
Dr. Gustavo R. Moreno is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. He also meets the professional requirements of the Federal Council of Medicine. The clinic provides detailed materials on healing timelines and surgical risks.
Aesthetic and Reconstructive Specialties
The clinic offers a broad range of surgical options for the face and body. Specialists use video-endoscopic techniques for facial rejuvenation. This method lifts the face without traditional large incisions. Key procedures include:
- Facial lifting (classic, endoscopic, and mixed variants)
- Rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
- Abdominoplasty and liposuction using VASER technology
- Breast augmentation, reduction, and mastopexy
- Treatment for gynecomastia (male breast reduction)
Reconstructive surgery is a major focus of the practice. Dr. Moreno manages complex cases including skin tumor removals and thoracic reconstructions. The team also treats major tissue loss from trauma or pressure ulcers.
For patients with keloid or hypertrophic scars, the clinic combines surgical and clinical treatments. These include corticosteroid injections and post-surgery betatherapy radiation to prevent scar regrowth.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
Arte Cirúrgica offers breast augmentation with fat transfer. This procedure uses the patient's own fat harvested via liposuction. Surgeons inject the fat through inter-crossed tunnels. This gives a natural alternative to silicone implants.
For male patients, the clinic performs pectoral augmentation using FDA-approved soft silicone implants. Surgeons typically use a transaxillary incision to place the implants. This hides scars within the armpit area. The implants stay stationary and don't interfere with natural muscle movement.
Medical Team Background
Dr. Gustavo R. Moreno leads the medical team at Arte Cirúrgica. He completed his general surgery residency at Hospital da Santa Casa da Misericórdia in Rio de Janeiro. He then specialized in plastic surgery at Hospital Municipal Barata Ribeiro.
Dr. Moreno also trained at the Instituto Yvo Pitanguy, one of the most prestigious plastic surgery institutions globally. His background in cardiovascular surgery helps him manage complex reconstructive cases.

- Detailed pre-operative and post-operative guidance
- Information on recovery expectations and healing timelines
- Online consultation options for initial surgical planning
