Tummy Tuck and Liposuction in Plastic surgery (Dr. Gustavo R. Moreno)
About the clinic
Combined tummy tuck and liposuction surgery at Arte Cirúrgica Cirurgia Plástica helps patients reshape their midsection. This procedure is available in Brasília and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Lead surgeon Dr. Gustavo R. Moreno performs these operations at Hospital DF-Star, which provides a 24-hour medical team and intensive care support.
Advanced Surgical Methods
Dr. Gustavo R. Moreno offers several ways to combine skin tightening and fat removal. Lipoabdominoplasty merges a full tummy tuck with liposuction for complete contouring. For patients with less excess skin, a mini-abdominoplasty with liposuction is an option. The clinic uses VASER ultrasound technology to break down fat cells. This method causes less trauma to the body and helps the skin retract better. Other tools include Lipo-LASER and power-assisted Vibro-lipo for high-definition results.
Recovery and Safety Standards
Patients typically stay in the hospital for 24 hours. Small procedures may happen on an outpatient basis. Most people return to their daily activities within 2 days. Heavy exercise should wait for at least one month. Doctors remove sutures after 21 days. You will need to wear compression garments for 2 weeks. The final shape of the abdomen is usually visible about 3 months after the surgery.
Pre-Operative Care
Success starts before the surgery. Patients must stop smoking at least one month before the procedure. You should avoid blood thinners and certain vitamins 15 days before the date. Oral contraceptives must be stopped 30 days in advance. The medical team performs blood tests and heart evaluations to check your health. These steps help reduce risks during the operation and support a smooth healing process.

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
