Say Goodbye to Chronic Nasal Congestion with ClariFix®


What is LATERA?

Revolutionizing Nasal Support with LATERA

The LATERA Absorbable Nasal Implant is a groundbreaking solution designed to enhance your breathing by supporting the nasal walls from within. Composed of a medically approved absorbable polymer, this small beam-like implant provides structural reinforcement to your nasal cavity while encouraging collagen production for long-term natural support.

How Does LATERA Work?

Designed for Functionality and Comfort

  • The implant features an anchor placed above the upper nose bone for strength and stability.
  • A beam extends toward the lower nasal cartilage, holding the nasal walls open and preventing collapse.
  • LATERA is suitable for addressing one or both sides of the nose, depending on your needs.

How It’s Absorbed:

Over 18 months, the implant naturally dissolves, replaced by your body’s collagen, creating lasting structural support.


Benefits of LATERA

Immediate and Long-Lasting Results

With LATERA, you can expect:

  • Improved natural breathing.
  • Healthier, more restful sleep.
  • Reduced congestion and nasal blockages.
  • Increased oxygen flow for better performance during exercise.
  • Lasting results as collagen replaces the implant over time.

Why Choose LATERA?

A Minimally Invasive Solution for Better Breathing

LATERA is ideal for individuals seeking a safe, effective, and minimally invasive way to improve nasal airflow and reduce congestion. Its innovative design combines immediate relief with natural, long-term benefits, making it a trusted choice for nasal support.

What to Expect During the Procedure

A Quick and Comfortable Experience

The LATERA procedure is straightforward and minimally invasive:

  1. Duration: Roughly 10 minutes.
  2. Anesthetic Options: Performed under light sedation or local anesthetic.
  3. Process:
  • A small cannula is used to position the implant in the nasal wall.
  • The implant is securely anchored as the cannula is withdrawn.
  • If both sides require treatment, the procedure is repeated.



Most patients experience only minor discomfort, easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

Recovery and Aftercare

Short Recovery, Long-Lasting Relief

Recovery is quick and straightforward:

  • Initial Period: Mild swelling, bruising, or irritation may occur but usually subsides within a few days.
  • Post-Procedure Care: Dr. Nassif will provide detailed instructions and guidance on precautions and what to monitor.
  • Return to Normal: Enjoy open airways and improved breathing within days of your procedure.
