Hidden Gems: Meet Iani Silveira of Bella Vida Aesthetics & Wellness

Today we’d like to introduce you to Iani Silveira.

Hi iani, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Iani Silveira, MSN, FNP-BC, CPN, is the founder and visionary behind Bella Vida Aesthetics & Wellness, one of Miami’s premier destinations for concierge medical aesthetics and regenerative wellness. A master injector, family nurse practitioner, expert trainer, and innovator in the field, Iani has built her career around helping clients rediscover confidence through personalized, results-driven care grounded in trust.

Born and raised in Miami to Brazilian immigrant parents, Iani’s passion for medicine began early. She initially aspired to become a pediatrician, earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Spring Hill College before returning home to work on the neurology floor at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. After gaining further experience at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, she realized she wanted greater autonomy in patient care—leading her to complete her Master of Science in Nursing and pursue a more holistic, hands-on approach to medicine.

Iani’s transition into aesthetics was driven by her love of injecting and her belief that aesthetic medicine, when done thoughtfully, can be both transformative and empowering. In 2015, she opened Bella Vida Aesthetics & Wellness, blending aesthetics with wellness and regenerative medicine long before it became an industry trend. Her work as a national travel trainer for U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. further shaped her expertise, allowing her to assist practices across the country while deepening her understanding of healing, recovery, and innovation.

As her concierge clientele grew—from Miami to New York Fashion Week and beyond—Iani followed her passion for body sculpting, ultimately developing and patenting a groundbreaking, nonsurgical buttock enhancement technique. The Bella Vida Instant BBL™ delivers immediate, sculpted results without surgery and earned second place at the 2024 Aesthetic & Anti-Aging Medicine World Congress (AMWC) in Monaco, placing Iani on the global stage for innovation in aesthetic medicine. This achievement further solidified her reputation and her widely recognized moniker, “The Booty Queen™.”

Today, Bella Vida Aesthetics & Wellness is a hub for clients seeking advanced, nonsurgical aesthetic solutions paired with one-on-one, world-class care. Fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, Iani takes pride in forming meaningful relationships with every client she treats. A proud alumna of Our Lady of Lourdes Academy, she remains deeply connected to the Miami community she calls home. When she’s not treating clients or educating fellow medical professionals, Iani can be found enjoying the beach, boating, working out, and embracing her favorite wellness essential—rest.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It definitely hasn’t been a completely smooth road. Like most entrepreneurs in medicine, I faced challenges early on—from navigating the business side of healthcare to earning trust in a highly competitive industry. Building Bella Vida required wearing many hats at once while maintaining the highest standards of patient care. There were moments of uncertainty, long hours, and constant learning, especially as I pushed into innovative, nonsurgical treatments that didn’t yet have a clear roadmap. However, those challenges ultimately shaped my approach. They reinforced the importance of resilience, education, and staying grounded in my values. Every obstacle became an opportunity to refine my vision, strengthen my expertise, and build something truly meaningful for both my patients and my community.

We’ve been impressed with Bella Vida Aesthetics & Wellness, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Bella Vida Aesthetics & Wellness is a concierge medical aesthetics and regenerative wellness practice founded in Miami in 2015. At its core, Bella Vida is about personalized, one-on-one care—every treatment plan is tailored, never rushed, and rooted in trust. We specialize in advanced nonsurgical aesthetics, body sculpting, and regenerative therapies designed to enhance natural beauty while prioritizing safety, longevity, and confidence.

What we’re best known for is innovation, particularly the Bella Vida Instant BBL™, a patented, nonsurgical buttock enhancement technique that delivers immediate, sculpted results without surgery or extended downtime. The procedure earned international recognition, including second place at the 2024 Aesthetic & Anti-Aging Medicine World Congress (AMWC) in Monaco, and has positioned Bella Vida as a leader in forward-thinking aesthetic medicine. Our work in body sculpting, biostimulating fillers, and regenerative treatments continues to attract clients locally, nationally, and internationally.

What truly sets Bella Vida apart is our concierge approach. We intentionally limit the number of patients we see each day to ensure an elevated experience, hands-on care, and meaningful relationships. This allows us to focus not just on aesthetics, but on confidence, education, and long-term results. Our brand is built on empowerment—helping clients feel their best from the inside out, not chasing trends or unrealistic standards.

Bella Vida is a space where innovation meets compassion, where clients feel seen, heard, and cared for at every stage of their journey. What I want readers to know is that we don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” beauty. We believe in thoughtful, customized care that enhances what already makes each person unique.

Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Finding the right mentor and building a strong network starts with being intentional and genuinely curious. My biggest advice is to seek out people whose work you truly respect—not just for their success, but for how they practice, teach, and treat others. Mentorship is built on trust and consistency, not transactions, so showing up prepared, asking thoughtful questions, and being willing to learn goes a long way.

What has worked best for me is surrounding myself with experts who challenge me to think deeper and elevate my standards. I’ve been fortunate to learn from incredible mentors, including Dr. Roberta Del Campo, a dermatologist in North Miami, and Dr. Jessie Cheung, a dermatologist based in Chicago, both of whom have influenced my approach to aesthetics, skin health, and patient care. I also look to Dr. Jonathan Sykes, a world-renowned plastic surgeon and expert anatomist in Beverly Hills, whose depth of anatomical knowledge has been invaluable to my clinical growth. He has been both a mentor I continue to learn from and the surgeon who performed my blepharoplasty, which further reinforced my trust in his expertise and perspective.

From a networking standpoint, I believe relationships grow best when they’re authentic. Attend conferences, engage in conversations, follow up, and don’t be afraid to ask for guidance—but always bring value, humility, and respect for others’ time. The most meaningful connections I’ve made have come from shared passion, mutual respect, and a commitment to excellence.
