Rhinoplasty (nose job) in Dr. Silvia Hirata
About the clinic
Rhinoplasty at the clinic of Dr. Silvia Hirata in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, offers a specialized approach to nasal reshaping. Dr. Silvia Hirata is a plastic surgeon with over 20 years of experience who focuses on natural results that preserve a patient's identity. She holds the Ronaldo Pontes Prize for her work and is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP).
Advanced Surgical Techniques
Dr. Silvia Hirata uses ultrasonic rhinoplasty at her clinic in the Leblon neighborhood. This method uses piezoelectric technology to reshape the nasal bones with high precision. This tool works on the bone without damaging the surrounding soft tissues, blood vessels, or skin. Patients typically experience less swelling and bruising than with traditional methods. The surgeon also chooses between structured and preservation approaches based on the unique anatomy of each nose.
Planning and Preparation
The process begins with a detailed consultation. Dr. Silvia Hirata uses digital simulation to help patients visualize the potential outcomes. This step helps align the patient's expectations with the surgical plan. Patients undergoing this procedure receive general anesthesia. The surgery is typically performed as a day procedure, meaning most people do not need to stay overnight in the hospital.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery involves specific steps to help the nose heal correctly. Patients wear a rigid external splint for about one week. During the first 48 hours, cold compresses help manage swelling. You can return to light activities after seven days. It is important to avoid direct sun exposure and heavy glasses for several months. Exercise can usually start again after 30 days. While the initial shape is visible quickly, final results take between 6 to 12 months to settle.
Travel Recommendations
Patients traveling to Rio de Janeiro from other cities or countries should plan their trip carefully. Dr. Silvia Hirata recommends staying in the country for 10 to 14 days. This timeframe allows for the removal of the splint and initial follow-up checks. The clinic focuses on safety by following the high standards set by the SBCP.

- 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.
