Medical expertise meets genuine female empathy

True aesthetic empathy stems from a deep, personal understanding of the female form and the societal pressures women navigate daily. There is a distinct comfort found in a consultation where your surgeon intuitively understands not just the anatomy, but the emotional narrative behind your desire for change.

Dr. Isabel Do Vale brings a unique female perspective to plastic surgery, blending technical precision with a nuanced appreciation for feminine contours. She recognizes that patients are not looking for a different body, but for a version of themselves that aligns with their inner confidence. This shared perspective fosters a safe, non-judgmental space where your goals are heard and validated with genuine compassion.

Contact Dr. Isabel Do Vale to experience a consultation rooted in empathy and understanding.

Youthful contours don't always need implants

The fear of a "deflated" or empty appearance following implant removal is a major source of anxiety that is largely preventable with advanced surgical planning. Simply removing an implant that has stretched the skin for years will inevitably lead to some degree of ptosis, or drooping, if not addressed surgically.

Fortunately, we rarely recommend simple removal if aesthetic appearance is a priority. By combining the explant procedure with a mastopexy (breast lift), we can utilize your existing natural tissue to create a rejuvenated, self-supporting breast mound. This dual approach addresses the excess skin envelope and repositions the ni**le to a more youthful height.

Contact us to assess if a lift combined with removal is the right approach for you.

Return to your natural silhouette and authentic self

Sensibilities shift over time, and what felt uniquely right a decade ago may no longer align with your current lifestyle, comfort level, or aesthetic vision. The decision to remove breast implants is often accompanied by a profound sense of liberation and a desire to reconnect with one's inherent biology.

Implant removal, or explantation, is a procedure centered on restoring your natural baseline. Many women are pleasantly surprised to discover a substantial amount of their own glandular tissue remains, which can be reshaped into a pleasing, smaller contour. The goal is to ensure you feel comfortable, healthy, and confident in your own skin.

Schedule a consultation to discuss your options for a comfortable implant removal.

What about the scar? Placement and appearance over time

Scars are part of surgery—but they don’t have to define the result.

Tummy tuck scars are carefully planned to fall low on the abdomen, just above the p***c area—usually concealed beneath underwear or swimwear. Over time, with proper care, the scar softens and fades significantly.

Dr. Isabel do Vale uses techniques that minimise tension on the skin and optimise healing, including precise incision closure and postoperative scar protocols. Every effort is made to ensure that the scar becomes a discreet line, not a focal point. Patients are counselled on scar care from the outset, including massage, silicone therapy, and sun protection.

In time, most patients see their scar not as a flaw—but as a mark of healing and strength.

Concerned about visibility? A consultation will address all aspects of your recovery. Preview your potential scar placement using Crisalix 3D visualisation.

Wrapping you in warmth and gratitude this Christmas

When Liposuction complements a Tummy Tuck

Refining the waistline is often a team effort. A tummy tuck and liposuction serve different purposes—but when performed together, they can create a truly transformative outcome. While a tummy tuck removes loose skin and tightens muscles, liposuction targets stubborn fat in surrounding areas like the flanks, hips, or upper abdomen.

This combination allows for a more sculpted silhouette, particularly in patients with both skin laxity and excess fat. In Dr. Isabel do Vale’s practice, surgical plans are customised to harmonise body proportions—not just flatten the abdomen, but define the waistline and overall balance.

Combining procedures doesn’t mean compromising safety. It means planning holistically, with careful technique and experienced hands.

If you’re seeking contour as well as firmness, let’s explore this surgical pairing. Use Crisalix 3D to preview the potential synergy of tummy tuck and liposuction.

Natural Results: The new standard in Breast Augmentation

Refinement, not exaggeration—modern breast augmentation is rooted in subtlety. Gone are the days of “one size fits all.” Today, the most requested outcome is one that simply feels harmonious—breasts that are fuller, but still soft, balanced, and in proportion with the body.

Achieving a natural result requires more than just choosing the right implant. It’s about surgical technique, anatomical alignment, and respect for each individual’s physique. Dr. Isabel do Vale’s approach prioritises internal support, soft tissue preservation, and scar minimisation—yielding results that look effortless and age gracefully.

With a deep understanding of both aesthetics and anatomy, her team ensures that beauty is never forced—it’s enhanced, respectfully.
