Dr. Hugo Cardoso – Otorrinolaringologista

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.
