Diagnostics and surgical planning
Before any procedure, the clinic performs a detailed evaluation of the nasal internal structure. This helps identify the exact location of the septal deviation and any other obstructions. Patients can also start their journey with an online consultation to discuss their medical history and goals.
- Nasal endoscopy. This internal exam uses a thin camera to see the airway clearly.
- Functional assessment. The surgeon checks how the deviation affects airflow and sinus health.
- Surgical mapping. A plan is created to reshape the bone and cartilage precisely.
Ultrasonic rhinoplasty for septal correction
The clinic uses ultrasonic technology for septal and nasal surgery. This method uses high-frequency vibrations to reshape the bone without damaging the surrounding soft tissue or skin. It replaces traditional hammers and chisels, which often leads to less swelling and a faster recovery.
- Functional septoplasty. The surgeon straightens the deviated wall between the nostrils to open the airway.
- Ultrasonic bone reshaping. This technique allows for high precision when correcting the nasal bridge or base.
- Combined approach. The procedure fixes the breathing obstruction while refining the external look of the nose.
- Premier hospital dia facility. Surgery takes place in a specialized day-hospital designed for safety and comfort.

Dr. Paulo Henrique Laia: more details about the clinic
Credentials and Training
The practice is led by Dr. Paulo Henrique Laia, a plastic surgeon who completed his residency in 2013. He is a Full Member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) – the highest membership category in the society.
Dr. Laia trained at the Clinical Hospital of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). He later served as a preceptor for the plastic surgery residency there. The clinic holds ISAPS and TEMOS certifications.
Facial and Breast Procedures
The clinic specializes in advanced facial rejuvenation. These techniques target deep tissue layers for natural results without excessive skin tension:
- Deep Plane Facelift – repositions deep tissues below the SMAS layer
- Deep Neck Lift – treats skin, muscle, and deep fat for neck contouring
- Mini Facelift – a less invasive option for patients with mild facial laxity
- Ultrasonic Rhinoplasty – nose reshaping that can also correct a deviated septum
- Brow Lift – repositions the eyebrows and forehead tissues
For breast surgery, the practice offers several augmentation and reduction methods. Dr. Laia uses Técnica Preservé for breast augmentation. This Motiva-developed approach creates implant space while protecting internal breast anatomy and muscle.
Body Contouring Technologies
Body contouring often combines liposuction with energy-based technologies. These tools treat fat and improve skin firmness. The clinic uses the following platforms:
- Vaser – ultrasound technology that emulsifies fat before removal
- Argoplasma – argon gas plasma that creates a thermal effect for skin tightening
- BodyTite and FaceTite – bipolar radiofrequency for tissue tightening
- Morpheus – fractional radiofrequency micro-needling to improve skin texture
These technologies are often part of lipoabdominoplasty procedures. This combined surgery addresses both localized fat and excess skin in a single session.
Diagnostic Capabilities
The clinic provides nasal endoscopy as a primary diagnostic tool. This helps evaluate internal nasal structures before functional or aesthetic nose surgery. These evaluations confirm that surgery won't impair breathing.
Services for International Patients
Online consultations are available as a first step for patients outside Belo Horizonte. This allows preliminary planning before travel. Post-operative care includes ongoing monitoring and recovery guidance throughout healing.
