About the clinic

Mammography at Silicone Center in São Paulo, Brazil, is a specialized breast tissue screening designed specifically for women with breast implants. The diagnostic uses adjusted imaging techniques to identify changes in breast health without compromising the integrity of the prosthesis. The clinic follows international standards for plastic surgery and medical tourism, holding accreditations from TEMOS, SBCP, and ISAPS.

Mammography with Silicone Implants

Silicone Center uses specialized methods to ensure accurate screening for patients with breast prostheses. The procedure is performed as an outpatient service and involves the following technical adjustments:

  • Eklund maneuver. The technician uses this specific technique to displace the prosthesis and compress only the breast tissue.
  • Reduced pressure. The mammograph equipment is adjusted to apply less pressure than a standard exam.
  • Strategic positioning. The device is placed further back to capture more images and ensure a thorough analysis of all breast tissue.
  • High-resistance safety. Modern implants are built to withstand the pressure of a mammogram, making the risk of damage nearly zero.
  • Expert interpretation. A radiologist trained in evaluating breasts with implants reads the results to ensure diagnostic precision.

Patients should inform the technician about the presence of silicone implants before the examination begins. Having implants does not prevent a clear screening, and the results are as precise as those for women without them. The clinic’s focus on breast surgery patients means the equipment and staff are prepared for the specific needs of augmented breasts. A request for this diagnostic can be made through Bookimed.

Silicone Center: more details about the clinic

Brazil, São Paulo

Silicone Center is a single-specialty clinic in São Paulo established in 2017. The facility focuses exclusively on breast augmentation mammoplasty. It follows a structured care pathway that includes 3D planning and surgery. Procedures take place in a day-surgery setting with a dedicated surgical structure. The founder brings over 30 years of experience to the practice.

Safety Standards and Professional Recognition

The clinic holds several international and national certifications. It is accredited by TEMOS, a global leader in medical tourism quality. The medical team is also affiliated with major professional bodies:

  • SBCP – Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery
  • ISAPS – International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Dr. Wagner Montenegro leads medical oversight as Technical Responsible for the facility. The clinical team includes professionals with over 20 years of experience. For added safety, the clinic keeps an ICU bed (UTI) on-site. This provides backup care if complications arise after breast augmentation.

Breast Augmentation and Plastic Surgery

Silicone Center focuses on increasing breast volume for women. Specialists use cohesive gel implants that remain stable and are fully approved. Surgeons typically complete the procedure within 60–90 minutes. Patients usually go home after 6 hours in the day-surgery unit.

The clinic offers several implant options to fit individual goals:

  • Round or anatomic (tear-drop) shapes
  • Low, moderate, high, and super high profiles
  • Smooth, textured, or polyurethane-coated surfaces

When breast sagging is present, the team performs mastopexy (breast lift). This repositions tissue and removes excess skin. Surgeons may combine a lift with silicone implants for added volume. Planning involves a 3D simulation to define the best size for each patient's anatomy. Incision options include inframammary, periareolar, and axillary approaches.

Advanced Diagnostic and Planning Technology

The clinic uses digital tools to improve surgical outcomes and patient preparation. 3D simulation technology lets patients visualize potential results during consultation. This helps in selecting the right implant profile and shape. Specialists also use specific exams to monitor breast health:

  • Mammography for breast tissue screening
  • Breast ultrasound for detailed imaging
  • MRI (Magnetic Resonance) for implant integrity checks
  • Eklund maneuver for clear imaging of patients with implants

During surgery, teams use pulse oximetry to monitor oxygen levels. Patients must remove nail polish beforehand so sensors give accurate readings. The clinic also provides guidance on stopping smoking and certain medications before the procedure.

International Patient Support

Silicone Center offers digital services for patients traveling for surgery. Telemedicine consultations cover surgical details and help align expectations. This remote service includes the initial evaluation and post-treatment check-ups. The first in-person return visit usually happens 5–10 days after surgery. Ongoing monitoring continues for several months to track healing progress.

Everything perfect, 1000/10. The reception girls were very attentive, polite, and helpful. I was welcomed really well. I think that matters a lot because for many women this is a dream, and we end up feeling a bit of fear and anxiety, etc., on the day—but the silicone center team gave me total support, and they answered all my questions. I just want to thank Dr. Felipe Rosas, and the silicone center, for being part of this dream. I’m very happy—I feel fulfilled with my results. Only to thank the silicone center team!!❤️

I fulfilled my dream in the right place right on the first visit. The reception was very kind and I was treated wonderfully. The result from Dr. Saulo was amazing—I’m loving the outcome; it’s better than I ever imagined. I thank everyone for the care and attention I received at Silicone Center, a clinic that promises much more than we can imagine. I’m having an excellent recovery, with no pain, and I feel fulfilled every day. Thank you to all the team who was there in making my dream come true ❤️

My experience with Silicone Center was wonderful from the very beginning, from my first consultation. They were incredibly welcoming and attentive. Dr. Alfredo—I don’t even know what to say, he’s so amazing—and they also provide complete support after surgery. I simply loved it and I definitely recommend it.

Best experience, I highly recommend it—hospital of good quality, with doctors and kind support staff, the best treatment I could have. We’re going to stay, girls, at Silicone Center 🤗🥰❤️

I had surgery on 07/10 with Dr Saulo Fagundes. The surgery and recovery were super calm and easy. The pre- and post-op team—words can’t describe it. Care from the very beginning was always flawless! Gratitude 🙏🏾

I’m really happy. I was very well taken care of at the clinic in Campinas; all the girls are attentive and very helpful. I had my surgery on 05/10 and I’m having a good recovery so far. Dr. Felipe Rosas is very attentive and very friendly. He answers my questions very quickly, and what’s interesting is that the messages turn blue as soon as he reads them. There’s none of that thing about staying invisible so we don’t know whether he read or not. That matters a lot because it shows the value we have after surgery, not just before. Next week I’ll have my follow-up, and I’m very anxious to see how things are going and for the release of some things. Thank you to the entire team at Silicone Center. I recommend it, and I’ll come back here after 6 months to give my final feedback.
