Liposuction at the clinic of Dr. Silvia Hirata in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, helps patients reshape specific body areas by removing excess fat. The procedure is performed by a surgeon with over 20 years of experience who holds membership in the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). Patients can address fat deposits on the abdomen, flanks, back, thighs, arms, and the area under the chin.
Dr. Silvia Hirata uses the tumescent technique for fat removal. This method involves injecting a special solution into the fat layer to reduce bleeding and bruising. The surgeon uses microcannulas measuring only 3 to 5 millimeters. These small tools allow for precise contouring and are inserted through tiny incisions hidden in natural skin creases. To keep the surgery safe, the clinic follows strict SBCP guidelines. The doctor removes no more than 7% of the patient's total body weight in a single session.
The surgery takes place under either general anesthesia or an epidural with sedation. This choice depends on the number of areas being treated and the patient's health. The focus is on creating smooth transitions between body parts rather than just weight loss. Dr. Silvia Hirata graduated from the Federal University of Goiás and completed her residency at Hospital Barata Ribeiro. She also received the Ronaldo Pontes award, which recognizes excellence during surgical training.
Recovery follows a specific timeline to help the skin retract and heal correctly. Most patients return to light activities within 7 to 10 days. More intense exercise is usually possible after 4 to 6 weeks. The clinic provides a personalized post-operative program to improve results. This care includes:
Patients typically see the final results of the procedure within 3 to 6 months as the swelling fully disappears. The clinic is located in the Leblon neighborhood and provides support in English and Spanish for international visitors.

For abdominal surgeries, postoperative support includes lymphatic drainage sessions and medical pain control. Patients typically need up to one day of hospitalization.
