Thiago Morais

Thiago Morais Clinic is a private practice in Recife, Brazil. It specializes in surgical and non-surgical aesthetic transformations. Led by Dr. Thiago Morais, the clinic operates through three departments: body contouring, facial rejuvenation, and breast surgery. Each patient receives an individual evaluation to match surgical plans with personal goals.

Clinical Expertise and Professional Certifications

The clinic holds several international and national credentials. It is accredited by TEMOS and affiliated with the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). Dr. Thiago Morais is the lead surgeon and a Full Member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP).

Dr. Morais earned a Masters in Translational Surgery from the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP). He also serves as a speaker and mentor for Johnson & Johnson (Mentor), training other surgeons in advanced techniques.

Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring

The clinic performs various surgical procedures to reshape and refine body proportions. Surgeons plan each case in detail so patients understand surgery duration and recovery stays. Common body and facial procedures include:

• Abdominoplasty – lasts 3–5 hours and typically requires a 24-hour hospital stay.
• Liposuction – takes 2–3 hours with potential same-day discharge.
• Rhinoplasty – surgery takes 3–4 hours with a 1-day hospital admission.
• Facelift (Rhytidectomy) – lasts 4–5 hours with a recommended 24-hour stay.
• Gluteoplasty and facial fat transfer.

Abdominoplasty often includes correction of muscle diastasis (separation). It can be combined with liposuction to enhance results. For post-pregnancy surgery, the clinic recommends waiting 12 months after childbirth and 6 months after breastfeeding ends.

Breast Surgery and Reconstructive Care

Breast procedures range from aesthetic enhancements to complex reconstructive surgery for cancer patients. Breast augmentation typically lasts about 2 hours, and many patients go home the same day. The clinic also provides specialized support for breast reconstruction, including pre-operative planning and post-operative recovery management.

The surgical team offers several options for breast modification:

• Mammoplasty with silicone implants.
• Mastopexy (breast lift) to correct sagging.
• Breast reduction surgery.
• Oncological breast reconstruction.

Procedures are planned according to each patient's anatomy and tissue quality to ensure long-term stability.

Aesthetic Medicine and Skin Treatments

For patients seeking non-surgical options, the clinic provides injectables and skin resurfacing methods. These treatments focus on facial contouring and expression line correction with minimal downtime. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 12–18 months, depending on the treated area.

Available non-surgical services include:

• Radiesse – calcium hydroxylapatite for smoothing moderate to severe wrinkles.
• Chemical Peeling – treatments for spots, acne scars, and skin texture.
• Dermal fillers and Botox injections.
• Crystalline and diamond peeling.

The clinic also provides lymphatic drainage as a key post-operative service. This specialized massage reduces swelling and treats fibrotic areas after surgeries like liposuction.

International Patient Services

The clinic is equipped to manage international patients through coordinated support. This includes timing guidance to help patients plan their travel and recovery in Recife. The team provides clear expectations for hospital admission lengths and discharge protocols.
