AQUA plastic surgery

AQUA plastic surgery is a private clinic in the Tirol neighborhood of Natal, Brazil. The facility focuses on breast surgery and body contouring. Two doctors provide individualized surgical planning and postoperative care.

Medical Credentials and Expertise

Dr. Allan Filgueira, a board-certified plastic surgeon, leads the practice. He earned his medical degree from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. He then completed a three-year plastic surgery residency at Hospital Santa Marcelina and breast reconstruction training at Pérola Byington Hospital.

The clinic holds official certifications including CRM-5433 and RQE 2787. Dr. Filgueira is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. The surgical team only performs procedures that meet strict safety tolerances.

Breast Surgery and Recovery Protocols

For breast augmentation, the clinic uses the 24hs recovery protocol. Dr. Allan Filgueira has applied this approach since 2017. It helps patients return to daily activities faster after silicone implant surgery.

Specialists plan each procedure based on tissue analysis and individual anatomy. The clinic offers several breast surgery options:

• Breast augmentation with silicone implants
• Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without implants
• Breast reduction
• Fat grafting to the breasts
• Absorbable synthetic meshes for internal support

Surgeons use TIGR Matrix and GalaFLEX absorbable meshes in select cases. These materials provide extra internal reinforcement for longer-lasting results. If a patient has sufficient glandular tissue, the team may recommend a lift without implants.

Body Contouring and Advanced Liposuction

The clinic specializes in high-definition body contouring using VASER lipoaspiration. This technology uses ultrasound probes to emulsify fat before removal, so it causes less trauma to surrounding tissues than traditional liposuction.

Body contouring services include:

• Lipo HD and LAD for defined abdominal marking
• 360-degree liposuction
• Vibrolipoaspiration
• Tumescent liposuction
• Liposculpture for fat redistribution

For abdominoplasty, the clinic uses the lipoabdominoplasty Saldanha technique. This method involves less skin undermining to better preserve natural abdominal contours. The practice has avoided surgical drains for at least six years. As a result, fluid buildup is rare.

Technology and Equipment

The VASER system serves as the primary platform for all ultrasound-assisted fat reduction. Surgeons also use vibration-assisted devices for large-volume liposuction. Every surgery includes a consultation to create a plan centered on realistic expectations.

International Patient Support

The clinic provides full postoperative support for international patients. The team emphasizes clear communication and safety monitoring during initial recovery. While specific hotel or transit partnerships aren't listed, staff coordinate closely with travelers to manage aftercare. Patients receive recovery plans that account for the logistical needs of traveling for surgery.
