Face Liposuction in Plastic surgery (Dr. Gustavo R. Moreno)
About the clinic
Face liposuction at Arte Cirúrgica Cirurgia Plástica in Rio de Janeiro and Brasília helps redefine the jawline and neck area. The procedure is performed by a surgeon with over 20 years of experience, and a consultation typically costs around $50. Patients benefit from specialized facial techniques that use very fine, flat cannulas to achieve refined contours with minimal scarring.
Expert Facial Contouring
Dr. Gustavo Rincón Moreno leads the surgical team with over 20 years of experience in plastic surgery. He is a board-certified specialist and a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Dr. Moreno received his training at the prestigious Instituto Ivo Pitanguy. He uses specialized tools, including very thin cannulas designed specifically for the submental and neck regions, to remove excess fat while protecting the delicate facial structure.
Advanced Liposuction Methods
The clinic offers several techniques to customize the procedure based on skin laxity and the patient's goals. These options include:
- Conventional liposuction for standard fat removal.
- Lipo-LASER which uses laser-assisted lipolysis to help tighten the skin.
- High-definition liposuction (Lipo HD) for precise sculpting.
- Vibro-liposuction to make the fat removal process smoother.
Surgery and Recovery Timeline
The surgery takes between 30 minutes and 6 hours depending on the complexity. Small incisions of less than 1 cm are hidden in natural skin folds. Most patients can return to daily activities within 2 days, while full recovery for heavy exercise takes about one month. Initial results appear after 30 days, and the final look is typically visible by 90 days. For safety, the clinic performs larger procedures at Hospital DF-Star, which features an ICU and 24-hour medical staffing.
Safety and Preparation
Patients must follow specific steps before surgery to reduce risks like deep vein thrombosis. This includes stopping oral contraceptives 30 days before the procedure and avoiding aspirin or vitamin E for 15 days. A pre-anesthetic consultation is mandatory to determine if local sedation or general anesthesia is best. Following surgery, patients should avoid sun exposure for at least 14 days and follow a high-protein diet to support healing.

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
