Breast Augmentation with Silicone Implants in Theodore Droubi
About the clinic
Breast augmentation with silicone implants at the clinic of Dr. Theodore Droubi in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, offers personalized surgical options to enhance breast volume and shape.

While total costs vary because hospitals and prostheses are billed separately, the surgical team fee typically runs between $3,200 and $4,600.
Expertise of Dr. Theodore Droubi
Dr. Theodore Droubi is a specialized plastic surgeon and an active member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). He received his foundational training at the Ivo Pitanguy School, which is famous for its high standards in aesthetic procedures. Dr. Droubi is multilingual and provides consultations in English, French, Arabic, and Portuguese. His clinic has a long history of care, having treated over 60,000 patients across various specialties.
The Breast Augmentation Procedure
The surgery usually takes about 2 hours to complete. Patients receive either general anesthesia or an epidural with sedation to help them stay comfortable. Dr. Theodore Droubi offers three main types of incisions to place the silicone implants:
- Inframammary fold: An incision made in the crease under the breast.
- Periareolar: An incision made around the edge of the nipple area.
- Transaxillary: An incision made in the armpit to avoid scars on the breast itself.
Recovery and Results
Most patients stay in the hospital for about 24 hours, though some go home the same day. The recovery timeline is relatively short, allowing a return to work within one week. Patients should avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for 3 to 4 weeks. It is also important to avoid sun exposure on the surgical area for several months to help scars heal properly. While the results can be permanent, factors like weight changes or gravity may alter the appearance over time. Some patients choose to exchange their implants after 10 years.

Theodore Droubi: more details about the clinic
Experience and Accreditations
The clinic has treated over 60,000 patients from around the world. Dr. Theodore Droubi leads the practice with around 30 years of medical experience. He is a member of the SBCP (Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery), the clinic's primary professional accreditation.
The medical team includes two doctors who specialize in surgical and non-surgical aesthetic care. Dr. Droubi trained at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. He then specialized at the Ivo Pitanguy School, a premier institution for plastic surgery training.
Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring
The clinic offers surgical options for the face, breasts, and body. Surgeons address concerns such as prominent ears, breast development issues, and localized fat. The surgical department performs:
- Rhinoplasty and chin surgery for facial harmony
- Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and facelifts
- Breast reduction, augmentation, and reconstruction
- High Definition Liposuction (Lipo HD) with ultrasound and laser technology
- Gynecomastia surgery to reduce male breast tissue
Body contouring reshapes the trunk and limbs through various surgical techniques. Surgeons use Vibrolipo and Vaser technologies for fat removal and skin tightening. These methods improve precision and can shorten recovery compared to traditional techniques.
Intimate Surgery and Female Health
Specialists perform delicate procedures for female genital aesthetics. These surgeries often address physical discomfort or functional concerns alongside aesthetic goals. Options include:
- Labiaplasty to reduce the size of the labia minora or majora
- Vaginoplasty to correct vaginal laxity
- Perineoplasty for structural repair and refinement
- Clitoral hood reduction and mons pubis volume reduction
Intimate surgeries typically take 1–2 hours under general or regional anesthesia. Most patients return to work within 7–14 days. The clinic advises against sexual relations for eight weeks after surgery to allow proper tissue healing.
Minimally Invasive Treatments
The clinic offers non-surgical alternatives for skin rejuvenation or fat reduction. These treatments are performed in an outpatient setting without traditional surgery. Options include:
- Lipólise – a 25-minute laser-based treatment for non-surgical fat reduction
- Injectable treatments using Botox® and Prosign® brands
- Diamond microdermabrasion for skin resurfacing
- Chemical peels and laser facial renewal
The non-surgical fat reduction program shows visible results in about six weeks. Since these procedures are minimally invasive, they require little to no downtime.
Services for International Patients
The clinic treats patients from various regions and maintains a multilingual environment. The medical team provides support and consultations in four languages:
- English
- French
- Arabic
- Portuguese
During the consultation, the surgeon creates a detailed treatment plan. This covers surgical steps, anesthesia types, and recovery expectations. All pre-operative instructions – including smoking cessation and medication management – are provided in the patient's preferred language.
