Dr. Alvarez has over 15 years of experience with a 100% focus on facial surgery.
Is Dr. Alvarez board certified?

You may also visit the official clinic website for additional scheduling options. Many verified surgeons offer complimentary virtual consultations for international patients considering a deep plane facelift.
How much does a deep plane facelift cost in Brazil?
Dr. Alvarez has not published a deep plane facelift price on DEEPPLANE™. The DEEPPLANE estimate for Brazil is $10,000–$11,000: our editorial estimate, not this surgeon's quote. Your price is set in a written quote after consultation; ask for it itemized and compare it with our country cost guide.
What do patients say about Dr. Alvarez?
Patient reviews for Dr. Alvarez are available on their DEEPPLANE™ profile, alongside any public Google reviews linked to the clinic. Patients who have undergone a deep plane facelift can share their experience through our structured review system, which collects separate ratings for surgical outcome, communication, recovery support, and overall value to help future patients make informed decisions.
Where is Dr. Alvarez located?
Dr. Alvarez practices in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The clinic welcomes both local and international patients travelling for deep plane facelift surgery. Visit the official clinic website for the full street address, parking details, and directions from the nearest international airport. International patients can arrange a virtual consultation before traveling to review candidacy, treatment plan, and pricing.
What is the recovery time for a deep plane facelift?
Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete. Most patients return to desk work at 2-3 weeks and to exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final results become visible after 3-6 months as deep tissue swelling fully resolves. Dr. Alvarez provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.
How long do deep plane facelift results last?
How long results last has not been measured for all patients, and whether a deep plane facelift outlasts a SMAS or mini facelift is still debated (Khoury 2025). In one surgeon's 30-year series, patients who came back for a second facelift after a deep plane lift did so 10.9 years later on average (Levin & Frankel 2026); that counts only the patients who returned. Longevity also depends on individual ageing biology, sun exposure, smoking status, and skincare. Dr. Alvarez can discuss expected outcomes for your anatomy during consultation.
Is Dr. Alvarez verified on DEEPPLANE™?
Dr. Alvarez has verified ownership of their DEEPPLANE™ profile, and we confirmed control of the practice email domain. The board certification shown (Me) is as published by the surgeon or their clinic and is self-reported. That is the whole of what the verified badge attests. DEEPPLANE™ reads two public provider registers, the US NPPES registry and the ABFPRS physician finder, and screens US surgeons who carry an NPI against the HHS OIG exclusion list every week; it does not query any board of certification, any national licensing body or any society roster, does not check identity documents, does not authenticate before/after photographs, and does not monitor licence status.
