Dr. Monica Baptista has around 12 years of experience as an otolaryngologist and facial plastic surgeon. She holds professional licensing credentials CRM 52.994812 and RQE 34133. These certifications reflect her specialized training in both ear, nose, and throat medicine and plastic surgery.
Her education includes a medical residency in Otolaryngology at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. She also completed a fellowship in Facial Plastic Surgery at the same institution. This training focused on advanced rhinoplasty techniques.
The clinic specializes in structured rhinoplasty to improve nasal appearance and breathing. Aesthetic and functional corrections often happen in a single session. This approach addresses chronic nasal obstruction while reshaping the nose.
Specialists use specific methods for long-term stability and natural results:
Functional procedures include septoplasty to correct a deviated septum. Dr. Baptista also performs inferior turbinectomy for enlarged turbinates. Endoscopic sinus surgery treats chronic sinusitis by widening drainage openings to improve airflow.
Rhinoseptoplasty requires a 12-hour hospitalization under general anesthesia. Patients fast for 8 hours before the procedure. Recovery involves two small silicone plates inside the nostrils. The surgeon removes these after five days.
The clinic provides blepharoplasty to treat excess skin and fat in the eyelids. This procedure targets both upper and lower eyelids to create a rested appearance. It is often combined with other facial surgeries.
Otoplasty is available for adults and children from 6 years of age. This surgery reshapes protruding ears by bringing them closer to the head. Young children or anxious patients receive local anesthesia with sedation.
Recovery for ear surgery lasts about 5 – 10 days. Patients wear a protective bandage for up to 72 hours. Afterward, they use a headband during the day for 15 days and at night for 30 days.
Dr. Baptista uses specialized tools during consultations to evaluate nasal and throat health. These diagnostic methods help plan accurate surgical interventions:
These diagnostics identify issues like hypertrophic turbinates or sinus blockages. Proper evaluation means functional breathing improvements fit into cosmetic nasal plans.
The clinic treats international visitors from several countries. Most non-local patients arrive from France, Australia, South Africa, and Ecuador. Online consultations help international patients plan their travel and treatment.
