Mommy makeover in Dr. Rafael Alves
About the clinic
The Mommy Makeover is a combined surgical procedure performed by Dr. Rafael Alves in Salvador, Brazil. This treatment addresses body changes after pregnancy by pairing breast and abdominal surgeries in a single session. Dr. Rafael Alves is a specialist member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP), bringing expert precision to these complex body contouring cases.
Advanced Breast Surgery Techniques
Dr. Rafael Alves uses several modern methods to improve breast shape and volume. Patients can choose from breast augmentation, a breast lift, or breast reduction depending on their needs. The clinic offers the following specialized techniques:
- R24R rapid recovery implants to help patients return to daily activities faster.
- Dual-plane placement for a natural look where the implant sits partially under the muscle.
- Internal bra technique to provide better support and long-term stability for the breast tissue.
- Hybrid breast surgery which combines silicone implants with fat grafting for softer contours.
Abdominal Contouring and Repair
The abdominoplasty portion of the surgery focuses on the midsection. Dr. Rafael Alves removes excess skin and tightens the abdominal wall. A key part of this step is correcting rectus diastasis, which is the separation of stomach muscles often caused by pregnancy. This repair helps restore a flatter profile and improves the waist contour. By combining these steps, the surgery addresses multiple areas of the body at once.
Expertise of Dr. Rafael Alves
Dr. Rafael Alves leads the surgical team with high-level academic and clinical credentials. He holds a Doctorate in Medicine and Human Health from EBMSP. Beyond his private practice, he serves as a Preceptor for the Plastic Surgery Residency at Hospital São Rafael Rede D'or. His deep involvement in medical education means he stays current with surgical safety and methods. Patients receive a personalized plan for their transformation in a professional clinical setting.

Dr. Rafael Alves: more details about the clinic
Brazil, Salvador
Dr. Rafael Alves runs a private plastic surgery practice in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The clinic focuses on individualized aesthetic procedures for the face and body. Dr. Rafael Alves combines surgical techniques with non-surgical technologies to improve skin quality. The practice operates from a single location in the Ondina district.
Academic and Professional Background
Dr. Rafael Alves is a specialist member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). He earned his degree in Medicine and Human Health from EBMSP. He holds specialist credentials in both Plastic Surgery and General Surgery. He has also served as a preceptor for the Plastic Surgery Residency at Hospital São Rafael Rede D'or.
The practice emphasizes evidence-informed patient guidance and precise surgical planning. Dr. Alves participates in national congresses to discuss techniques like natural-looking breast prostheses. The clinic provides patient education materials in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.
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.
International Patient Services
Dr. Rafael Alves treats patients who speak Portuguese, English, and Spanish. The clinic provides educational materials to help patients understand their recovery. Dr. Alves discusses expected scarring during the initial consultation. Scars typically take several months to mature and need protection from sunlight.

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!

I would like to thank Dr. Rafael for all the care, professionalism, and attention during my surgery. From the first consultation to the post-operative period, I was welcomed with so much dedication and safety—without mentioning the Rejuve team, who were extremely helpful.
