About the clinic

Deviated septum care at Dr. Hugo Cardoso’s ENT practice in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, includes nasal assessment and surgery. Dr. Hugo Cardoso has performed 16,000+ surgeries, including complex revision cases. Septoplasty and functional rhinoplasty are planned after an anatomical assessment.

Nasal endoscopy: A camera examines the nasal cavity.
Complete evaluation with video endoscopy: The doctor checks nasal anatomy and obstruction.
Laryngoscopy: An examination of the larynx.
Otoscopy: An examination of the ears.
Preoperative simulation: Photoshop-based images help plan possible changes to nasal appearance.

Surgical options with Dr. Hugo Cardoso

Dr. Hugo Cardoso is an otorhinolaryngologist trained at the Federal University of Minas Gerais. Surgical plans are based on nasal anatomy and the patient’s needs.

Septoplasty: Surgery corrects a deviated septum and aims to improve nasal airflow.
Functional rhinoplasty: This treats septal deviation and narrowing of the nasal valve. It addresses structural blockage while protecting breathing during nasal changes.
Revision rhinoplasty: This addresses complications from previous nasal surgeries, including complex cases.
Aesthetic rhinoplasty with functional correction: A personalized plan based on facial proportions can address nasal blockage and appearance together.

Surgery takes place in a hospital setting at Hospital MaterDei, Orizonti, or PHD. The practice uses pneumatic boots and compression stockings for deep vein thrombosis prevention. Patients are advised to take 2–3 weeks off physical activity.

Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss assessment and treatment options.

Dr. Hugo Cardoso – Otorrinolaringologista: more details about the clinic

Brazil, Belo Horizonte

Dr. Hugo Cardoso is a private single-doctor clinic in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The practice sits in the Funcionários neighborhood and focuses on otolaryngology and nasal surgery. It serves as a specialized center for both aesthetic and functional procedures.

Professional Credentials and Experience

The practice is led by Dr. Hugo Cardoso, a reference otolaryngologist in Minas Gerais. He earned his medical degree from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). His registrations are CRMMG 14996, RQE 18816, and RQE 18817.

The clinic reports over 16,000 surgeries performed. Dr. Hugo Cardoso stays active in the medical community. He attends congresses on extreme revision rhinoplasty and the treatment of complex surgical complications.

Specialized Rhinoplasty and Nasal Surgery

The clinic focuses on rhinoplasty with an emphasis on natural results. Planning is based on individual facial proportions rather than uniform beauty trends. The practice offers several types of nasal procedures:

Aesthetic Rhinoplasty – focusing on facial harmony and the "essence" of the patient.
Functional Rhinoplasty – correcting structural issues to improve airflow.
Revision Rhinoplasty – addressing complex cases and complications from previous surgeries.
Male Rhinoplasty – tailored to maintain masculine facial characteristics.
Septoplasty – surgical correction of a deviated septum.

Functional work often addresses septal deviation and narrowing of the nasal valve. This means aesthetic changes won't compromise breathing. Each surgical plan is individualized after a complete anatomical analysis.

Advanced Diagnostic and Planning Tools

Precision starts with a structured preoperative journey. The clinic uses video endoscopy to evaluate the nasal cavity in detail. This step identifies obstructions that may need correction during surgery.

Expectation management is key. Dr. Hugo Cardoso uses Photoshop-based projections to create a visual "map." This simulation aligns the patient's goals with what is anatomically possible before the operation.

Patient safety relies on specific perioperative protocols. The clinic uses pneumatic boots and surgical compression stockings. These devices support circulation and reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis.

International Patient Support

The practice treats patients from abroad, including those traveling from Spain. Staff can provide information in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. The team coordinates with international patients to manage their surgical journey in Belo Horizonte.

Diagnostic services available at the clinic include:

Nasal endoscopy and video endoscopy
Laryngoscopy and otoscopy
Audiometry and hearing check-ups

These tools allow thorough assessment before any surgical intervention.

Simply impeccable!! Dr. Hugo is an excellent professional, always clarifying all my doubts and making me feel very calm. The surgery was completely smooth and the result turned out wonderful—exactly how I imagined it! Fernanda, the clinic secretary, is also wonderful. She is always very attentive, caring, and concerned about me, especially during the post-operative period.

Recently (4 months ago) I underwent surgery (rhinoplasty + deviated septum) with Dr. Hugo and I need to make it clear that I am supeeeer happy with the result. My breathing improved 100% and the recovery was super calm and easy. The aesthetic part is perfect—super natural. Dr. É is extremely kind, attentive, and very patient in helping us decide the best surgery option. I give 1000 points to Dr. Hugo—thank you.

I was extremely satisfied with the care provided by Dr. Hugo. From the very first consultation, I was treated very well—with speed, attention, and a great deal of professionalism. He requested the necessary tests and, after the results, provided all the guidance for my septum deviation surgery. Throughout the entire process, he patiently answered all my questions and made me feel very confident. The care and support during the post-operative period were also excellent. I carried out the entire treatment through my health insurance plan, and even so, I received very careful and humanized care. I’m very grateful for all the attention and professionalism. I would definitely recommend him!

I had a great experience being seen and operated on by Dr. Hugo—an excellent professional, extremely kind, clear in his explanations, attentive to even the smallest details, conveying confidence and making himself available for whatever I needed. His secretary, Fernanda, is not only competent but also very kind, and she treats everyone with special care. The anesthesia and nursing team are equally exceptional.

I admit I’m biased when talking about Dr. Hugo and his team’s professionalism. Before deciding on surgery, I went to 4 doctors; I even scheduled the surgery with one of them. However, after my appointment with Dr. Hugo, I understood the difference—care, mastery, and experience. The results he presented from patients naturally and harmoniously, respecting their individual characteristics, made me decide to continue with him. His team—more precisely, the secretary Fernanda—reassured me in every moment and handled all the administrative part. Dr. Hugo, may you continue being this wonderful professional, making dreams come true….

Excellent doctor—he cleared all our doubts. It’s a shame that my love won’t be operated on by Dr, but he still helps guide us to a great specialist!

Amazing! I had my rhinoplasty and septoplasty with Dr. Hugo and had an excellent experience from start to finish, including the post-operative period. Dr. Hugo is an extremely competent and attentive professional, and the entire team was very careful and helpful throughout the whole process. I didn’t feel any pain either during the procedure or during the post-operative period, and I always had all the support I needed, both via WhatsApp and in person. This gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind during my recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Hugo and the entire team! Excellent professional and excellent service.

Excellent professional. I had surgery to correct a deviated septum, and because of recurrent sinusitis—after that, for 10 years now I haven’t needed to use any kind of nasal medication.
