Dr. Rafael Martins – plastic surgery: more details about the clinic
Brazil, Florianópolis
Dr. Rafael Martins Plastic Surgery is a single-specialty clinic in Florianópolis, Brazil. The facility focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures. Dr. Rafael Martins runs the clinic and operates at Hospital Baía Sul.
Experience and Professional Recognition
The clinic has performed over 2,000 surgeries. Dr. Rafael Martins has treated more than 3,000 patients since 2011. He is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP).
Specialized Breast Procedures
The clinic's signature offering is the 24h Recovery breast implant technique. This method uses Fast Track Recovery protocols to speed up return to daily life. Surgeons place the implant partially under the muscle for a smooth transition.
- Patients can move their arms and wash their hair within hours of surgery.
- Driving and lifting small children are typically possible the next day.
- Recovery timelines are confirmed during the required in-person evaluation.
For patients who need both volume and lifting, the clinic offers mastopexy with implants. This procedure combines breast repositioning and augmentation in one session. It requires general anesthesia and a 12- to 24-hour hospital stay.
Body Contouring and Intimate Surgery
The clinic offers High Definition Liposuction (Lipo HD) for precise body contouring. This technique follows the patient's muscle anatomy to define specific body areas. It is often applied to the abdomen to enhance muscle visibility.
Dr. Rafael Martins also performs corrective abdominal and intimate procedures:
- Abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and repair separated abdominal muscles.
- Labiaplasty to reduce the small vaginal labia and correct asymmetries.
- Panniculectomy for patients who need removal of large skin aprons.
- Rhinoplasty for aesthetic or functional nose reshaping.
Labiaplasty uses spinal anesthesia or sedation, so same-day discharge is often possible. Abdominoplasty is recommended for patients after major weight loss or pregnancy.
Patient Safety and Technology
The clinic uses Fast Track Recovery protocols to improve surgical outcomes. Every procedure begins with a detailed physical exam and medical history review. Dr. Rafael Martins conducts these evaluations in person to align expectations with surgical options.

My expectation was one thing when I first contacted the clinic... As soon as Cris attended to me, she provided all the information I needed to feel safe. During the first appointment, Dr. Rafael was incredible in his care—attentive, concerned, and making sure to answer all my questions and show me all the possibilities. After the decision was made, I only had to do what was impossible for the team to do on my behalf, because everything was organized, scheduled, and adapted to my needs and peace of mind.... Everyone was wonderful with me, from reception and the negotiations to the doctor, the nutritionist, the hospital team, and the nurse who accompanied me in the post-op period... in the end, everything was really great—they far exceeded my expectations... Not to mention the result, which was fantastic. I loved my recovery, all the attention I received and still receive almost a year later... I highly recommend them—the team is wonderful....

My experience with Dr. Rafael Martins’ team was excellent and exceeded all my expectations. From the pre-operative preparation, with nutritional support and detailed guidance, to the post-operative period, I felt welcomed, safe, and very well cared for.
Dr. Rafael and the entire team show genuine concern for the patient. The care is extremely human, welcoming, and goes far beyond simply performing the surgery. The support during recovery, including through the WhatsApp group, brings a lot of peace of mind, because the doctor is always available to clarify any doubts.
I underwent a lipoabdominoplasty with diastasis plication and I was very satisfied with the entire process and the results. I recommend Dr. Rafael Martins’ team with complete confidence for their technical excellence, professionalism, and, above all, the respectful and human way they treat each patient.

Good morning.
From the very first time I went to Dr. Rafael’s office, I was received with kindness, competence, and professionalism.
I think, like most patients, I arrived feeling fragile because of the diagnosis.
Even at reception, I felt safe and cared for—the consultation with Dr. Rafael gave me relief and confidence—feelings that were confirmed during the surgery and in the post-surgical follow-up.
I would like to thank Dr. Rafael and Cris, who held my hand until I fell asleep under anesthesia, and who kept my daughter in the waiting room informed about the steps of the procedure.
I wish them success, health, and persistence to continue treating patients with humanity, in their vulnerabilities.
May God reward them for their journey.
Thank you very much.

Dr. Rafael gives a lot of confidence; he is very competent and attentive, as is his team.
Before the patient enters the surgical center, rigorous follow-up is carried out in order to achieve the desired result.
My recovery is being very calm so far, and I have access to Dr. Rafael and his team at any time.
I highly recommend them.
