Individual medical evaluation. A consultation with Dr. Alexandre Melo to discuss goals and health history.
VASER liposuction. A minimally invasive procedure to remove excess fatty tissue.
Glandular tissue removal. Surgical excision if firm breast tissue is present.
Online guidance. Support for patients before and after the surgery to monitor healing.

I met Dr. Alexandre through recommendations from friends. At the time, I already had surgery scheduled with another professional, but I felt like I was missing comfort and reassurance at a moment that naturally comes with many doubts and insecurities. That’s when I decided to see Dr. Alexandre—and today I’m sure I made the right choice. I underwent a breast reduction surgery without a prosthesis, and before even talking about the results, I need to highlight the whole experience I had with him and his team. From the very first contact through to the post-operative period, everyone was extremely attentive, available, and careful. Today I’m 15 days post-surgery, and everything went much better than I had imagined. Dr. Alexandre managed to understand exactly the result I wanted, even when I myself couldn’t explain it properly. And that made all the difference. Besides being an excellent professional, he’s a humble, considerate, sincere, and very realistic person. At no point did he try to convince me to undergo other procedures or create expectations he couldn’t meet. On the contrary: he was always very clear about what made sense for me and about what he didn’t believe in. The hospital where he operates was also an excellent experience: it was very clean, the team was attentive, organized, and punctual. If you’re reading this story looking for a surgeon who conveys reassurance, truly listens to what you want, and is careful throughout the entire process, I highly recommend Dr. Alexandre. I’m extremely happy with the result and, above all, with how I was treated during this entire experience. I just have to thank Dr. Alexandre and the whole team!

I thought about this before having the surgery, mainly about who I would trust... The team of Dr. Alexandre showed me that safety and trust were there—a team that knows how to welcome you, and they gave me all the love and care I needed... That’s why it’s already been more than 18 years of trust. Thank you all, and especially to Dr. Alexandre... gratitude always....

Dr. Alexandre and his entire team are an example of professionalism and care for patients. From the first appointment, during the surgery, and throughout all the post-operative care, I was very well attended to and taken care of, with clear explanations of every stage. I’m one month into my post-op recovery, and my recovery has been excellent—I’m very satisfied with the results! I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the doctor and everyone on the team. I recommend them with my eyes closed 🩷

First of all, I would like to thank Dr. Alexandre and his team. I also want to express my gratitude for the post-surgery support and all the care they showed me. I am recovering well and I’m very happy! Congratulations, Dr. Alexandre Melo, for the excellent professional you are—I felt very safe. May God continue to bless the beautiful work you do!!! Again, I had the opportunity to undergo another surgery with Dr. Alexandre on 19/06/26: placement of breast implants. I have no words to describe the result, the care from Dr. Alexandre and his team. I had the surgery at Hospital São Rafael—excellent care and dedication to the patient. Thank you all!!!
