Love handles liposuction in Dr. Silvia Hirata

About the clinic

Love handles liposuction at the clinic of Dr. Silvia Hirata in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, focuses on removing stubborn fat from the flanks and back. The procedure helps create a smoother silhouette by permanently removing fat cells from the target area. This specialized treatment is performed in the Leblon district, offering international patients access to a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery.

Liposuction Technique and Recovery

The clinic uses the tumescent technique with microcannulas for precise fat removal. This method helps minimize trauma to the tissues and reduces bleeding during the surgery. The doctor makes small incisions between 3 and 5 mm. These are hidden within the natural folds of the skin to keep scars virtually invisible. The procedure typically requires an epidural with sedation or general anesthesia.

Patients can usually return to light office work within 7 to 10 days. Physical exercise can be resumed after 30 to 45 days. The body takes time to settle into its new shape. While initial changes are visible quickly, the final results appear between 6 months and 1 year after the surgery.

Post-Operative Care and Support

Proper aftercare is vital for achieving a smooth contour and healthy skin retraction. The clinic provides specific guidelines and tools for the healing phase:

Patients must wear a compression garment and a rigid plate for at least 30 days.
Lymphatic drainage sessions are recommended to reduce swelling and prevent internal scarring.
Sleeping on the back should be avoided during the first few days.
Sun exposure must be avoided as long as bruising is visible on the skin.

The facility in Rio de Janeiro provides support in English, Spanish, and Portuguese to help international visitors. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to learn more about your options for body contouring.

Dr. Silvia Hirata: more details about the clinic

Brazil, Rio de Janeiro

Dr. Silvia Hirata runs a private plastic surgery practice in Rio de Janeiro's Leblon neighborhood. The clinic focuses on aesthetic and reconstructive procedures as a single-specialty facility. Each patient receives individualized surgical planning to determine incision placement and ensure discreet scarring.

Professional Accreditations and Expertise

Dr. Silvia Hirata is a board-certified specialist with over 20 years of experience in plastic surgery and aesthetics. She earned her medical degree at the Federal University of Goiás. She then trained at Hospital Barata Ribeiro in Rio de Janeiro. Her credentials include:

Full membership in the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP)
A two-year general surgery residency in Brasília
Specialization in facial rejuvenation and body contouring techniques

Consultations emphasize risk transparency and realistic outcome goals.

Facial Rejuvenation and Rhinoplasty

The practice offers surgical and non-surgical options for facial aesthetics. Specialists perform ritidoplasty (facelift) to reposition deep facial tissues along natural transition lines. Available facial procedures include:

Endoscopic facelift
Forehead lift
Mentoplasty (chin augmentation)
Otoplasty (ear surgery)
Nonsurgical Botox and facial fillers

Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is a featured technique at the clinic. It uses piezoelectric technology to sculpt nasal bone with millimetric precision. This vibration-based method preserves soft tissues and blood vessels, so recovery is often faster than with traditional tools.

Body Contouring and Breast Surgery

Body contouring services include several variations of lipoaspiration (liposuction), such as the tumescent technique. Fat removal stays within recommended percentages of total body weight per session. The clinic also provides:

Abdominoplasty and mini-abdominoplasty
Gluteoplasty with buttock implants
Thigh and arm lifts
Mommy makeover and lipofilling
Gynecomastia surgery for male breast tissue reduction

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

Scar Correction and Skin Treatments

The clinic treats complex skin conditions, including keloids and hypertrophic scars. During the consultation, diagnosis helps differentiate scar types to select the right protocol. Treatment options include:

Precision surgical scar correction
Fractional CO2 laser therapy
Intralesional corticosteroid injections
Electrodessication of benign lesions

Supportive measures like silicone sheeting and local compression improve long-term tissue quality.

Services for International Patients

The practice provides educational materials so international patients understand safety topics and postoperative expectations before arrival. Staff members assist in several languages:

English
Spanish
Portuguese

Medical coordinators guide patients on recovery timelines. This includes when to resume light activities and how to manage swelling after facial or body surgery.

Dr. Silvia is an excellent professional, especially for the humanized way she relates to her patients. I had my breast silicone implants removed, and the result turned out perfect. I recommend her plastic surgery services to everyone looking for quality care.

Today, I just want to leave on record a little of my gratitude to Dr. Silvia Hirata and to her entire team. ❤️ When I decided to have my surgery, I knew I was putting a dream into the hands of a professional. But throughout this whole process, I realized I was giving much more than that: I was trusting my body, my expectations, and even my insecurities to people who truly made a difference in my journey. My surgery was smooth, and from the very first moment I felt safe and welcomed. The whole team gave me comfort that made a moment that could have been surrounded by fear and anxiety turn into a much lighter experience. And if there’s one thing I feel especially compelled to highlight, it’s my post-operative period. It’s been wonderful! Dr. Silvia is extremely attentive, careful, and present. Follow-up after the surgery has been just as important as the surgery itself, because knowing there’s a professional accompanying every step of our recovery provides an enormous sense of security. Today, looking back at everything I went through, I’m sure I made the right choice. It wasn’t only about the result of a surgery, but about all the care I received before, during, and especially after it. Dr. Silvia, thank you so much for taking care of me with such kindness, competence, and dedication. And thank you to the entire team for every gesture of care and welcoming. ❤️ I’m living a very special phase, and I’m very happy to have chosen you to be part of this moment in my life. My gratitude will always be enormous! ✨❤️ Leave on record a little of my gratitude to Dr. Silvia Hirata and to her entire team. ❤️ When I decided to have my surgery, I knew I was putting a dream into the hands of a professional.

I’ve always been quite skeptical about plastic surgery, mainly because I was afraid of unnatural results. That’s why I decided to go through my procedures very cautiously, after a lot of research. I can say that Dr. Silvia Irata exceeded my expectations. The result turned out extremely natural, respecting my features and delivering exactly what I was looking for. I was very satisfied with both the functional and aesthetic outcome. Besides technical competence, I would like to highlight the calmness, patience, and care Dr. Silvia showed throughout the entire process. Her team was also excellent, providing support and attention before and after surgery. I recommend this with complete confidence to anyone looking for a natural, safe, high-quality result.

Dr. Silvia is simply wonderful. I had surgery with her 2 years ago and I continue to be extremely satisfied—the result is flawless. She is a professional doctor, and she works safely and ethically. I have only praise for her, from the first consultation through all the follow-ups after surgery. I recommend her to everyone.

Hello, my name is Juliana Nunes. I’m a bariatric surgery patient of Dr. Silvia. Before her, I went to 20 surgeons, and I was very disappointed. I knew I was asking for things that were impossible, and even so they accepted it or offered proposals that were completely different from what I want for my body. Dr. Hirata, with all the calm she conveys, told me “no” to what I wanted and explained the reasons. She has always been very attentive before surgery, and even more so after. I’ve already had 3 surgeries with her: arms, breasts, and thigh. I had no surgical complications—on top of that, her whole team is incredible. Ms. Mara, the anesthetist, and all the other doctors I had very little contact with. From the beginning I was a patient who was somewhat demanding—I wanted a lot. And Dr. knew how to guide me to the best for me, including when doing my nose: a procedure that is completely aesthetic and natural, nothing pre-made. It was only about removing what bothered me and perfecting it. So much so that it doesn’t even look like I did anything to my nose—it’s extremely natural. She is efficient, calm, and she doesn’t leave the patient alone after surgery. On the contrary. Weekly check-ins and always direct contact by phone. I plan to have two more surgeries—already told her that she has the mission to help me age with full collagen, naturalness, and beauty. Ah, I forgot to mention: she was a professor of surgeons that we see a lot on the Internet, but her technique is not just “good”—it’s impeccable. I’m a lawyer and I researched everything in the doctor’s background, and believe me, it’s spotless. Patients always leave happy. She’s worth double what she charges!

Dr. Silvia is wonderful! A doctor who answers all your questions, makes you feel comfortable before surgery. I had surgery with her twice and I have zero regrets. I’m very grateful to her for boosting my self-esteem.

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Silvia for more than 10 years. An excellent doctor—caring, attentive, and above all, very talented!!

20 days ago, I had reductive mammaplasty and an abdominoplasty with Dr. Silvia. Besides all the care, explanations, and attention that so many other patients have already mentioned, the doctor’s precision, proportions, and technique are spectacular. I didn’t have a reference and my search was through Instagram, but even at the first consultation I was sure that I would trust her with such responsibility. I’m feeling great and very happy.
