Septoplasty (Deviated Septum Surgery) in Dr. Fabiano Arruda – Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
Septoplasty at the clinic of Dr. Fabiano Arruda in Goiânia, Brazil, focuses on correcting a deviated septum to improve breathing. This functional surgery is led by Dr. Fabiano Arruda, a board-certified plastic surgeon with a PhD and specialized training from top centers in Miami and Atlanta. Patients receive expert care in a facility known for its focus on nasal surgery and facial harmony.
Expertise of Dr. Fabiano Arruda
Dr. Fabiano Arruda leads the surgical team with extensive international training. He studied at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami and the Paces Clinic in Atlanta. Dr. Arruda is a member of The Rhinoplasty Society and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). He also belongs to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) and the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). His background as a PhD and speaker at international congresses supports his focus on precise surgical techniques.
The Septoplasty Procedure
Septoplasty aims to straighten the cartilage and bone between the nostrils. This helps patients who struggle with chronic nasal congestion or breathing difficulties. At this clinic, the surgery is often combined with rhinoplasty to improve both the function and the appearance of the nose. When necessary, Dr. Fabiano Arruda uses an ultrasonic piezo device. This tool allows for more precise bone work, which helps reduce trauma and swelling during the healing process.
Preparation and Recovery
Success starts with careful preparation before the surgery begins. Patients must stop smoking at least four weeks before and after the procedure. It is also necessary to avoid aspirin, certain anti-inflammatory drugs, and specific supplements. The medical team performs a full evaluation and diagnostic tests to verify patient health. Most septoplasty procedures are outpatient, though an overnight stay may be required if additional cosmetic work is performed.
Recovery involves specific steps to help the body heal properly:
- A nasal splint is worn for the first week to protect the nose.
- Sleeping with the head elevated helps reduce initial swelling.
- Cold compresses are used to manage bruising around the surgical site.
- Physical exertion should be avoided for at least one to two weeks.
Most patients return to light activities within 10 to 14 days. While breathing improvements are often felt soon after the splint is removed, the final result is visible after several months once all swelling resolves.

Facial Surgery and Rhinoplasty
The clinic specializes in advanced facial procedures, particularly ultrasonic rhinoplasty. This method uses the Piezotomo device to deliver micro-ultrasonic vibrations. These vibrations allow precise bone sculpting while protecting surrounding soft tissues. The team uses this technology for both open and closed rhinoplasty.
Facial rejuvenation treatments include:
- Deep Plane Facelift – targets deeper facial support layers rather than just skin
- Blepharoplasty – eyelid rejuvenation
- Mentoplasty – chin reshaping
- Fat grafting – using the patient's own fat to restore facial volume
Planning involves a detailed medical history and physical exam. Patients must stop smoking at least four weeks before and after surgery. This helps ensure proper healing. Surgeons often combine rhinoplasty with septoplasty to improve breathing.
Body Contouring and Breast Surgery
Body surgery at the clinic combines surgical techniques with energy-based technologies. High-definition liposuction (HD Lipo) emphasizes natural muscle anatomy. To improve skin contraction after fat removal, the clinic uses Renuvion (J-Plasma) and Argoplasma. These tools help address tissue laxity in carefully selected patients.
The clinic offers a range of body and breast procedures:
- Lipoabdominoplasty – combines tummy tuck techniques with liposuction
- Mommy Makeover – personalized combination of breast and abdominal restoration
- Gluteoplasty – buttock enhancement using fat transfer or implants
- Breast aesthetics – including augmentation, mastopexy (lift), and reduction
- Labiaplasty – reshaping while preserving sensitivity
Each surgical plan depends on anatomy, skin quality, and available fat stores. The team also treats gynecomastia using Vaser technology to remove excess male breast tissue.
Advanced Medical Technologies
The practice stands out through its use of specific surgical platforms. The Piezotomo device is the primary tool for nasal bone remodeling. For skin tightening, Renuvion provides energy-based tissue retraction. Technology choices are based on individual diagnosis, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Services for International Patients
The clinic treats international patients with a structured care pathway. Pre-operative instructions and recovery plans are provided to those traveling for surgery. Staff can assist in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Recovery protocols include thrombosis prevention, compression garment guidance, and early mobilization programs.
