About the clinic

Rhinoplasty at the office of Dr. Thomás Cito in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, focuses on both the look and function of the nose. The procedure may cost around $300 and is performed by a specialist with dual certification in Otorhinolaryngology and Facial Plastic Surgery. This clinic is known for using ultrasonic techniques to reduce swelling and provide more accurate results.

Advanced Surgical Methods

Dr. Thomás Cito uses several techniques to reshape the nose. Ultrasonic rhinoplasty is a key method at this facility. This tool uses sound waves to cut only the bone. It keeps cartilage and soft tissue safe. This leads to less bruising and faster healing for the patient. Depending on the case, the surgeon chooses between an open or closed approach.

Closed Rhinoplasty: The surgeon makes all cuts inside the nostrils. This leaves no visible scars on the outside of the nose.
Open Rhinoplasty: A small cut is made on the strip of skin between the nostrils. This leaves a tiny, discrete scar but gives the doctor more view of the nasal structure.
Rib Cartilage Grafts: For complex or revision surgeries, the doctor uses rib cartilage. This adds strength to the nose and helps prevent it from collapsing.

Personalized Planning and Recovery

Every surgery starts with a digital simulation. Patients can see a preview of their potential results on a screen. This helps the patient and doctor agree on the final shape before the first cut. The operation happens under general anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable.

Recovery typically takes between 7 to 14 days. During this time, patients must follow specific care steps. This includes washing the nasal passages and resting. It is important to stay out of the sun and avoid heat while healing. Follow-up visits help the doctor monitor the progress. This approach helps people breathe better while achieving a natural look.

The clinic holds memberships in ABORL and ABCPF. These groups set high standards for ear, nose, and throat specialists and plastic surgeons in Brazil. If you are interested in refining your nasal profile, you can request a consultation on Bookimed.

Brazil, Rio de Janeiro

Dr. Thomás Cito is a private medical clinic established in 2024. The practice operates two branches in Rio de Janeiro: Ipanema and Barra da Tijuca. These locations provide specialized outpatient care and remote teleconsultation services.

Medical Team and Expertise

The clinic is led by Dr. Thomás Cito, an otorhinolaryngologist with over nine years of experience. He holds an RQE 33370 specialist registry and a CRM 52.105.149-0 license. Dr. Cito completed his medical education at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ).

His training includes international experience at several institutions:

He is an active member of the Brazilian Association of Otorhinolaryngology and Cervico-Facial Surgery (ABORL) and the Brazilian Association of Facial Plastic Surgery (ABCPF).

Specialties and Surgical Procedures

The practice focuses on rhinoplasty and facial plastic surgery. Every surgical plan is personalized based on digital simulations. These use patient photos to show potential results during the consultation.

Functional and Aesthetic Rhinoplasty

The clinic performs ultrasonic rhinoplasty. This method uses a specific frequency to cut only bone, preserving cartilage and surrounding tissue. The result is precise fractures with less swelling and trauma.

Complex cases and revisions use rib cartilage grafts for structural support. This prevents nasal collapse. Recovery typically takes 7 to 14 days.

Respiratory and Sleep Care

Dr. Cito treats conditions affecting breathing and sleep quality. This includes surgical and non-surgical options for:

Deviated septum correction via endoscopic septoplasty
Enlarged nasal structures (inferior turbinate hypertrophy)
Obstructive sleep apnea
Chronic snoring
Adenoid and tonsil problems

Functional procedures improve airflow while preserving the nose's natural shape.

Facial Rejuvenation

The clinic offers Frontoplastia to lift eyebrows and smooth forehead wrinkles. Patients can also choose non-surgical facial harmonization. These treatments use hyaluronic acid and collagen biostimulators to improve facial balance.

Diagnostic Technology

The clinic uses dedicated tools to examine internal nasal and throat structures. These help identify the cause of congestion or snoring.

Nasal Endoscopy – a camera-based look inside the nose
Laryngoscopy – examination of the throat and vocal cords
Otoscopy – detailed inspection of the ear canal

These tests help distinguish between inflammation and structural blockages.

International Patient Services

The clinic treats international patients through online teleconsultations. Remote meetings allow for assessments and surgical planning before travel. The staff speaks Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

Postoperative follow-up is available through digital platforms. This allows monitoring after the patient returns home.
