Rhinoplasty (nose job) in Dr. Edmar Minchio — plastic surgery
About the clinic
Rhinoplasty at the clinic of Dr. Edmar Minchio in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, offers personalized nose reshaping through both open and closed surgical methods. Dr. Edmar Minchio is a specialist with over 15 years of experience in plastic surgery and a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). Patients can choose this procedure to improve the appearance of their nose while also correcting breathing issues like a deviated septum.
Surgical Methods and Techniques
Dr. Edmar Minchio uses two primary approaches for rhinoplasty. The closed technique involves incisions inside the nostrils. This method leaves no visible scars on the outside of the nose. The open technique requires a small incision on the columella, the narrow strip of tissue between the nostrils. While this leaves a scar, it is usually very small and fades over time. The open method allows for more complex changes to the nasal structure. The surgery takes around 2 to 3 hours to complete under general anesthesia in an accredited hospital.
Functional and Aesthetic Results
This procedure does more than change the shape of the nose. Dr. Edmar Minchio often combines aesthetic reshaping with functional corrections, such as septoplasty. This helps patients breathe better by straightening the internal nasal structures. The goal is to create a natural look that fits the individual facial features and ethnic background of each patient. Dr. Edmar Minchio received specialized training at the Hospital da Plástica and was awarded the Prêmio Ronaldo Pontes for his work.
Recovery Timeline
Recovery happens in stages, and following the timeline helps the healing process. Patients usually wear a splint on their nose for about 7 to 10 days after the surgery. Most people feel ready to return to work within 2 to 3 weeks. You should wait at least 4 to 6 weeks before starting intense physical exercise. While swelling goes down quickly, the final shape of the nose is usually visible between 6 and 12 months after the procedure.

Dr. Edmar Minchio — plastic surgery: more details about the clinic
Dr. Edmar Minchio is a plastic surgery clinic in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The practice operates from a single branch in the Barra da Tijuca district. It focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures that respect each patient's natural anatomy.
Accreditations and Professional Background
Dr. Edmar Minchio leads the clinic. He has 15 years of experience in plastic surgery and is an active member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). This membership reflects adherence to national standards for surgical excellence and safety. Dr. Minchio completed his residency at Hospital da Plástica in Rio de Janeiro.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
The clinic offers body and facial surgeries in equipped hospital settings. Each procedure starts with individualized planning based on the patient's goals and proportions. Surgical programs include:
- Facial Surgery: Face lifting and deep plane facial masculino for structural rejuvenation.
- Rhinoplasty: Aesthetic and functional nose jobs to correct septal deviation and improve breathing.
- Body Contouring: Lipo HD (high-definition liposculpture), mini lipo, and abdominoplasty.
- Breast Surgery: Silicone implants, mastopexy (breast lift), and breast reduction.
- Male-Specific Procedures: Gynecomastia correction to remove excess glandular tissue and chest fat.
For abdominoplasty, the clinic offers both classic and mini-tummy tuck options. These procedures address excess skin and repair abdominal diastasis (muscle separation). Patients typically return to light activities after 3 weeks. Full physical exertion is usually permitted by 6 to 8 weeks post-surgery.
Male rhinoplasty patients receive plans focused on maintaining masculine facial harmony. Nose correction sessions generally last 2 to 3 hours under general anesthesia. Initial results appear as swelling resolves. Final outcomes consolidate between 6 and 12 months.
Aesthetic Medicine and Cosmetology
Non-surgical treatments take place in the clinic's consultation rooms. These options work as alternatives or complements to surgery for skin rejuvenation. Dr. Minchio uses hyaluronic acid fillers for facial contouring based on movement patterns and proportions. Other injectable services include:
- Botulinum toxin: Targeted treatment for expression lines and wrinkles.
- Skinboosters: Injectable hyaluronic acid protocols to improve skin hydration and thickness.
- PDO Threads: Lifting and skin quality improvement based on laxity.
- PRP Therapy: Platelet-rich plasma treatments for tissue regeneration.
Each Skinbooster session is customized by determining specific application points and product quantities. This matches the technique to the patient's skin quality and fine line depth.
Technology and Equipment
The clinic uses specialized technologies to improve surgical results and recovery. Renuvion provides skin tightening during contouring procedures. For Lipo HD, the surgeon focuses on precise fat removal to create muscle definition. The practice also uses a CO2 Hybrid Laser for scar management and facial rejuvenation.
Patient Care and Support
International patients receive direct attention from Dr. Minchio, who provides follow-up on the day of surgery. The clinic staff speaks Portuguese, English, and Spanish. For complex recoveries like Lipo HD, the clinic provides a structured timeline. Lymphatic drainage starts on the third day, with continuous compression support for several weeks. Gynecomastia patients receive specific 48-hour rest protocols and healing evaluations during the first week.
