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.
