About the clinic
Tip rhinoplasty at the clinic of Dr. Thomás Cito in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, focuses on reshaping the end of the nose to improve facial harmony. Dr. Cito uses specialized techniques like ultrasonic rhinoplasty to make precise changes with less trauma to the surrounding tissue. This procedure is ideal for patients who want to refine a bulbous, drooping, or wide nasal tip without changing the entire bridge.
Advanced Surgical Techniques
Dr. Thomás Cito chooses the surgical method based on the complexity of the nasal structure. Most tip procedures use a closed rhinoplasty approach. This method keeps all incisions hidden inside the nostrils to avoid visible scars. For more complex cases, an open approach with a small incision may be necessary.
The clinic uses ultrasonic tools for bone work. This technology cuts only the bone and leaves the cartilage and skin untouched. It helps reduce swelling and bruising after surgery. If the nasal tip needs more support, Dr. Cito uses cartilage grafts. These grafts usually come from the patient's own septum or rib for better structural strength.
Digital Simulation and Planning
Before the surgery begins, patients receive a digital simulation. Dr. Thomás Cito uses photos to show the expected outcome on a screen. This step helps the patient and surgeon agree on the final look before the first incision. It makes the process clearer and helps set realistic goals for the surgery.
Recovery and Post-Operative Care
Recovery typically takes about 7 to 14 days for the initial healing phase. The clinic does not use nasal packing, which makes breathing much easier for the patient immediately after surgery. Patients must follow specific care steps to help the healing process:
- Use saline spray for nasal lavage to keep the area clean
- Avoid heavy exercise or strenuous activity for 4 to 6 weeks
- Wait 6 to 12 months to see the final, permanent result

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.
