Thiago Costa

With a focus on safety that begins before the operating room, Thiago Costa builds each plastic surgery plan around individual indications—not Instagram results. At the clinic, he explains that the consultation is where medical history is assessed, the right tests are requested, and the team decides whether the patient’s goal truly has surgical indication (or whether another approach—or waiting—makes more sense). This approach is presented as part of Method TC Private, which combines individual evaluation, surgery performed by him, and TC Private Recovery follow-up from the first day through discharge. Among the procedures highlighted through his practice, mastopexy is described as lifting, repositioning, and reshaping the breasts by removing excess skin and remodeling breast tissue internally, with areola repositioning to match the new contour. He also explains how technique selection changes by case—incision type and whether a breast implant is needed are decided individually. For body contouring, he discusses liposuction options and the role of technique, including vibrolipo, hydrolipo, mini-lipo, laser-assisted liposuction, and ultrasound-assisted liposuction, while noting that candidacy depends on health, localized fat, and realistic expectations (liposuction is not presented as a weight-loss treatment). For combined transformations, he explains lipoabdominoplasty as a single procedure that combines abdominoplasty skin/excess removal with liposuction contour sculpting, including variations such as a 360 approach around the trunk and Lipo MD for medium-definition refinement.

Clinical focus and techniques

At the clinic, Thiago Costa presents plastic surgery as a medical procedure that requires individualized assessment, careful planning, and appropriate indication—because safety is described as part of the outcome.

• Mastopexy (breast lift): removes excess skin, remodels breast tissue internally, and repositions the areola to the correct height relative to the new contour.
• Dual plane implant technique: described as using a natural transition between the implant and the tissue.
• No-touch technique: presented as minimizing implant manipulation to reduce risk.
• Breast implant positioning behind the muscle: discussed in terms of coverage, reduced risk of rippling, and stability over time.
• Liposuction: includes vibrolipo, hydrolipo, mini-lipo, laser-assisted liposuction, and ultrasound-assisted liposuction as technique options.
• Lipoabdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck + Liposuction): described as combining abdominoplasty skin excess removal with liposuction sculpting in one surgical time.
• Abdominoplasty 360: described as treating the full trunk circumference, including the flanks and the posterior region.
• Lipo MD (medium-definition): described as refining natural abdominal structures with subtle marking and a non-artificial look.
• 360 abdominoplasty approach: presented as removing excess skin and restoring abdominal wall tension across the full circumference.

For international patients, the clinic frames the process as structured and supported: it emphasizes that recovery time depends on the procedure, body type, and lifestyle, and it describes scheduled follow-ups and an open channel for questions during the recovery period. The clinic page also highlights that he consults in Porto Alegre and provides guidance for patients considering procedures such as mastopexy, liposuction, and abdominoplasty variations.
