The procedure uses a specialized camera to view the nasal passages, allowing for precise repairs with minimal trauma. Patients can expect the initial recovery period to last between 7 and 14 days.

Advanced Septum Correction

Dr. Thomás Cito uses an endoscopic approach for this surgery. This method helps the surgeon see deep inside the nose without making large external cuts. The procedure happens while the patient is under general anesthesia. It focuses on fixing the bone and cartilage that divides the nostrils. By straightening this wall, the surgeon helps the patient breathe more easily.

International patients can use teleconsultations to speak with the doctor from their own homes. The medical team speaks several languages, including English and Spanish, to help international visitors.

Specialties and Surgical Procedures

The practice focuses on rhinoplasty and facial plastic surgery. Every surgical plan is personalized based on digital simulations. These use patient photos to show potential results during the consultation.

Functional and Aesthetic Rhinoplasty

The clinic performs ultrasonic rhinoplasty. This method uses a specific frequency to cut only bone, preserving cartilage and surrounding tissue. The result is precise fractures with less swelling and trauma.

Complex cases and revisions use rib cartilage grafts for structural support. This prevents nasal collapse. Recovery typically takes 7 to 14 days.

Respiratory and Sleep Care

Dr. Cito treats conditions affecting breathing and sleep quality. This includes surgical and non-surgical options for:

Deviated septum correction via endoscopic septoplasty
Enlarged nasal structures (inferior turbinate hypertrophy)
Obstructive sleep apnea
Chronic snoring
Adenoid and tonsil problems

Functional procedures improve airflow while preserving the nose's natural shape.

Facial Rejuvenation

The clinic offers Frontoplastia to lift eyebrows and smooth forehead wrinkles. Patients can also choose non-surgical facial harmonization. These treatments use hyaluronic acid and collagen biostimulators to improve facial balance.

Diagnostic Technology

The clinic uses dedicated tools to examine internal nasal and throat structures. These help identify the cause of congestion or snoring.

Nasal Endoscopy – a camera-based look inside the nose
Laryngoscopy – examination of the throat and vocal cords
Otoscopy – detailed inspection of the ear canal

These tests help distinguish between inflammation and structural blockages.

International Patient Services

The clinic treats international patients through online teleconsultations. Remote meetings allow for assessments and surgical planning before travel. The staff speaks Portuguese, English, and Spanish.
