AQUA Plastic Surgery is a specialized clinic in Natal, Brazil. The center focuses on breast surgery and body contouring. Two specialists make up the medical team. Dr. Allan Filgueira belongs to the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery. He completed his residency at Hospital Santa Marcelina in São Paulo. International patients also receive unrestricted postoperative support.
For breast augmentation, the clinic follows a 24-hour recovery protocol. American surgeon John Tebbetts first published this method. Body contouring is performed with the VASER ultrasound platform. This includes advanced techniques like Lipo HD and LAD. The team has not used surgical drains for abdominoplasty in six years, a method known as lipoabdominoplasty Saldanha.
