Closed rhinoplasty in clinic Dr. Marcelus Nigro
About the clinic
Closed rhinoplasty at Clínica Dr. Marcelus Nigro in Curitiba, Brazil, provides a way to reshape the nose without visible external scarring. Led by Dr. Marcelus Nigro, a plastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, the clinic holds TEMOS international accreditation. This procedure is ideal for patients seeking subtle or significant changes to their nasal profile while keeping incisions hidden inside the nostrils.
The Closed Rhinoplasty Procedure
Dr. Marcelus Nigro performs closed rhinoplasty using the endonasal approach. He makes all incisions inside the nostrils, so there are no marks on the outside of the face. The surgery usually takes 2 to 3 hours to complete. During the process, he may use structured techniques to reshape the bone and cartilage. This method helps the nose keep its new shape for a long time. For more complex cases or revision surgeries, the procedure can take up to 6 hours.
Expertise of Dr. Marcelus Nigro
Dr. Marcelus Nigro is a highly qualified specialist who earned his PhD in Plastic Surgery from the University of São Paulo. He serves as the Chief of Plastic Surgery and Burns at Hospital Universitário Evangélico Mackenzie. He is an active member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). Before the surgery, Dr. Marcelus Nigro uses image-editing software to show patients a photo simulation of their possible results.
Recovery and Results
Patients typically stay in the clinic for 6 to 8 hours of observation and go home the same day. In some cases, a stay of up to 24 hours is needed. The recovery process follows a specific timeline to help healing:
- First 7 days: Patients must wear a nasal splint and get absolute rest.
- After 15 days: Light activities like walking or yoga are allowed.
- After 4 weeks: Patients can return to intense exercise.
- After 2 months: Contact sports can be resumed.
Initial changes are visible after 30 days, while the profile shape settles within 2 to 3 months. The final result is usually seen 1 year after the surgery. Patients must avoid direct sun for at least 2 weeks and wait 3 days before eating solid foods.
Clinic Standards and Safety
Clínica Dr. Marcelus Nigro follows strict safety protocols. Patients undergo a full pre-anesthetic evaluation and lab tests before the operation. The clinic holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Brazilian government. It also maintains accreditation from the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery, which helps verify the quality of care provided.

Body Contouring and Breast Reconstruction
Body sculpting includes vibro-liposuction. This technology uses automated movement to remove localized fat from the abdomen, back, and limbs.
