Breast Implants with Breast Lift in Dr. Rafael Alves

About the clinic

Breast implants with a breast lift, also known as mastopexy with augmentation, is available at the clinic of Dr. Rafael Alves in Salvador, Brazil. This procedure combines lifting the breast tissue with the placement of silicone implants to improve shape and volume. Dr. Rafael Alves is a specialist member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), bringing expertise in advanced breast reshaping methods to every patient.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

The clinic uses specific methods to improve the stability and appearance of the breasts. These techniques help the results stay in place and look natural. Methods used include:

Dual-plane placement – the implant is positioned partly under the chest muscle for better coverage.
Internal bra technique – internal sutures create a support structure to hold the breast weight.
Muscular sling – use of the chest muscle to provide extra support for the implant.
Hybrid breast surgery – a mix of silicone implants and fat grafting to create softer edges.

The R24R Rapid Recovery System

Patients can choose the R24R rapid recovery implant system. This approach focuses on reducing downtime after surgery. It allows many women to return to light daily activities faster than traditional methods. The surgery is planned around the patient's anatomy, with implants chosen by measuring the breast base diameter and projection. This personalized matching helps achieve the right proportions for each body type.

Consultation and Recovery

Before the surgery, patients meet with the surgical team to talk about their goals. This meeting covers expectations for the final shape and how to manage scars. While the R24R system helps with early healing, scars take several months to mature fully. Patients must use sun protection on the area during this time to help the marks fade. The procedure can be performed with or without silicone implants depending on the patient's existing tissue.

Body Contouring and Facial Rejuvenation

The clinic offers several surgical and non-surgical options for body remodeling. Specialists perform abdominoplasty to remove excess skin. This procedure treats rectus diastasis – the separation of abdominal muscles. Patients often request it after childbirth or major weight loss.

Liposuction at the clinic targets localized fat deposits. The practice offers several specialized methods:

Vaser liposuction – uses ultrasound to break up fat while protecting other tissues
LipoHD – high-definition contouring to highlight underlying muscle structure
MiniLipo – targeted fat removal for smaller areas
Lipoenxertia glútea – uses the patient's own fat to enhance buttock contour

For facial care, the clinic performs deep plane facelifts and panniculectomy. These procedures restore facial proportions and remove hanging skin tissue.

Advanced Breast Surgery

Breast surgery services focus on balance and natural proportions. The practice offers R24R implants, designed for rapid recovery. Dr. Alves uses dual-plane placement to position implants under the muscle. Surgeons may add a muscular sling or internal bra technique for extra support.

The clinic offers diverse options for breast enhancement and reconstruction:

Mastopexy – breast lift performed with or without silicone implants
Hybrid breast surgery – combines implants with fat grafting for softer edges
Breast reduction – removes excess tissue to improve comfort and proportion
Mommy makeover – combines breast and abdominal surgery in one session

Implant selection is based on breast base diameter and projection. This personalized approach matches the implant to each patient's anatomy.

Technologies and Diagnostic Services

The clinic uses specific platforms to treat skin laxity and improve surgical results. Morpheus combines microneedling with radiofrequency to firm the skin. It can be used during surgery to increase patient comfort. The practice also uses QuantumRF for non-surgical rejuvenation and tissue tightening.

Diagnostic services for breast health are available through the practice. Patients can access mammography and female check-ups. The clinic also offers specialized consultations with a mammologist. These services help confirm safety before aesthetic breast procedures.

I chose Dr. Rafael after researching and getting to know the work of several professionals, and I can say it was the right choice for me. From the very first appointment, he gave me a lot of calm, confidence, and security—something I hadn’t felt with any other doctor I’d seen. That made all the difference in my decision! The entire clinic team also deserves praise for the way they welcome you, with care and attention from the very first contact. It’s really good to feel well received and safe at such an important moment. I recommend Dr. Rafael with my eyes closed! A professional who instills confidence and makes us feel much calmer throughout the whole process.

I would like to thank Dr. Rafael Alves and all of his team for the care, kindness, and attention throughout my entire process. I had liposuction and mastopexy with a prosthesis, and I’m very happy with the result! It was a very special experience, and I’m grateful for all the care, professionalism, and safety they conveyed to me at every stage. Thank you, Dr. Rafael, for taking care of me and for helping make this dream come true. I’m very satisfied with the result and with the choice I made. I truly recommend, with all my heart, anyone looking for a caring, dedicated, and competent professional!

My experience with Dr. Rafael Alves exceeded my expectations. I’m the kind of person who’s used to researching a lot before making any decision. I study, raise questions, and try to understand every detail before coming to a conclusion, especially when it comes to something as important as plastic surgery. One of the aspects that impressed me most about Dr. Rafael was precisely his ability to match that profile. He answered all of my questions—which weren’t few—discussed with me the points I had researched, and showed that he is extremely up to date and confident in his work. At no point did I feel uncomfortable asking or researching. On the contrary, I found openness, knowledge, and willingness to clarify every question. That made all the difference for me to feel safe and confident in my choice. Another aspect that really caught my attention was his perfectionism and the meticulous way he carries out the work. He is a professional who pays attention to details, is thorough, and extremely careful—qualities I consider essential in a surgeon. In addition to all his technical competence, Dr. Rafael is a very human professional who genuinely demonstrates that he understands and cares about each patient’s particularities, feelings, and concerns. He gives you that sense that he will take your hand and guide you throughout the entire process, making you feel supported from the very beginning. For me, this sensitivity is just as important as surgical skill, because it makes a real difference in the experience of someone going through surgery. My surgery was very calm, with no complications, and I’m VERY satisfied with the result! I was very happy not only with the outcome, but also with the entire experience I had—from the first consultation to the post-operative period. I also make a point of praising the entire team, which helped make this process so positive. From Luana, the concierge, who leads the initial stage with a lot of attention and care; Judith at the front desk, always looking after the patients’ well-being at the clinic; to the physiotherapy team. I’d like to give special thanks to Luciana Carvalho and her team, who accompanied me during the post-operative period with a great deal of professionalism, patience, and kindness. My gratitude to Dr. Rafael and his entire team for giving me such a smooth experience and a result that I’m so happy with. I highly recommend Dr. Rafael Alves to anyone looking for a competent, up-to-date, meticulous surgeon who combines technical excellence with human, welcoming care!

The team’s service is incredible. I haven’t had my surgery yet; I was going to, but I had an unexpected situation and had to postpone it. There’s no doubt that I’ll do it with him the next time I get the chance!

I want to leave my most sincere thanks to Dr. Rafael for all the care and excellence during my surgery. More than an extremely competent doctor, I found a professional who practices medicine with humanity, empathy, and truly special care. In such a delicate moment, being treated with respect, warmth, and safety conveys a confidence you can’t put a price on. Dr. Rafael is a doctor who makes a difference in people’s lives. I believe that God places certain people in our path at the right time, and I feel that he was a man sent by God to fulfill my dream. My gratitude is immense. May God continue to bless his hands, his wisdom, and his mission to care for and transform lives through medicine. Thank you very much for everything, Dr. Rafael!
