Surgical Specialties and Methods

The clinic's primary focus is Closed Structured Rhinoplasty. This method avoids external incisions, so there are no visible scars. Surgeons use sutures and cartilage grafts to strengthen the nasal framework. The approach preserves nasal ligaments through conservative dissection.

Because natural structures stay intact, patients often need less graft material. This reduces the need for cartilage from the ear or rib. The clinic treats both primary cases and complex revision rhinoplasty. Revision cases address structural problems from previous surgeries.

Beyond nose surgery, the clinic offers several facial procedures:

• Otoplasty – correction of protruding ears under local anesthesia.
• Nasal polyp surgery – removal of growths to improve breathing.
• Cleft lip nasal deformity surgery – reconstruction for congenital issues.
• Non-surgical nose correction – aesthetic adjustments without surgery.
• Forehead and brow lifts – surgical facial rejuvenation.

Otoplasty patients can typically return to daily activities within 5 days. Sedation keeps patients comfortable during the procedure.

Recovery and Technology

The clinic avoids traditional post-operative discomforts. Surgeons do not use tampons or splints inside the nose. This means many patients can breathe through their nose right after surgery. The conservative method also causes less swelling and redness than open techniques.

Most patients return to study or light work within 3 to 7 days. Specialists use septal cartilage for modeling in most cases. For complex revisions, rib cartilage provides the necessary structural support.

Services for International Patients

This family-run practice offers personalized care for those traveling from abroad. Materials and consultations are available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. This ensures clear communication about surgical goals and recovery expectations.

Online consultations via Skype or Hangouts are available for initial evaluations. The clinic recommends international patients plan a 3-week stay. This allows proper healing before the return flight home.
