Victor Varela

A “double surgery” approach—mastopexy with abdominoplasty in one operation, with a single anesthesia and recovery—is one of the ways Victor Varela helps patients move from separate procedures to a coordinated plan. As a specialist at Dr. Victor Varela in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro/RJ, he focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery with an emphasis on surgical planning, safety, and structured follow-up. Consultations are available online and in person, so patients can start with an evaluation and then decide on the next steps. His clinical areas include Abdominoplasty for correcting abdominal skin laxity and excess skin, Mammaplasty for adjusting breast volume, shape, and position (including reduction, augmentation, and breast lift), and liposuction for removing localized fat to harmonize body contours. He also treats post-bariatric patients through post-bariatric surgery, aiming to remove excess skin and restore comfort and confidence after major weight loss. For cases that require reconstruction, he offers reconstructive plastic surgery focused on rebuilding breast form after significant medical changes.
