Otoskopi di Dr. Thomás Cito

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.

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:

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.
