About the clinic

Lipofilling, or fat grafting, uses a patient’s own fat to add volume or shape body areas at Clinic Avah in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Plastic surgeon Dr. Henrique Leite Freitas has performed 4,000+ procedures and created the patented L Science marking method.

How fat grafting works

Fat is taken from the patient’s abdomen, flanks, thighs, or back. It is processed and grafted into the selected area. The graft uses no synthetic implants or foreign material.

Common treatment areas include the breasts, buttocks, and hips. Fat grafting may also help refine body contours. It can be combined with HD or Ultra HD liposuction to balance volumes and shape proportions.

Surgeon and clinic credentials

Dr. Henrique Leite Freitas specializes in aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, breast surgery, and body contouring. He is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery and co-founded Mastering Breast Surgery. He has also lectured and performed live surgery at Russia’s National Congress of Plastic Surgery.

Clinic Avah lists the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery among its accreditations.

Recovery and follow-up

Recovery plans include individualized physiotherapy and supervised follow-up visits for one year, with no fixed visit limit. A WhatsApp support channel is available during recovery.

For international patients, concierge support can arrange accommodation, private transport, medical exams, and in-home nursing care if needed. Online consultations are available for initial planning and follow-up.

Patients can request an online consultation through Bookimed to discuss whether lipofilling may suit their goals.

clinic Avah: more details about the clinic

Brazil, Belo Horizonte

Clinic Avah is a private aesthetic surgery and dermatology practice. It is located in the Lourdes neighborhood of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Three specialists lead the team: Dr. Henrique Freitas, Dr. Julia Real, and Dr. Sergio Furtado. The clinic guides patients from pre-operative preparation through long-term recovery.

Accreditations and Surgical Experience

The clinic holds accreditations from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). These memberships reflect international safety and ethical standards. Dr. Henrique Freitas leads the surgical team. He has performed over 4,000 surgeries throughout his career.

Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring

The surgical team focuses on advanced breast and body sculpting. Surgeons use the Metodo L Science for breast surgery planning. This system applies mathematical principles to create predictable L-shaped scar patterns. The clinic also offers the R24R technique for silicone implants. With this method, selected patients can resume basic activities within 24 hours.

Specialists perform a range of breast and body procedures:

Mastopexy with or without implants
Breast reduction using internal mesh support
HD and Ultra HD liposuction for abdominal definition
Fat grafting to the breasts and other areas
Arm lift (brachioplasty) for excess skin removal
Miniabdominoplasty and full tummy tucks
Gynecomastia correction for enlarged male breast tissue
Silicone implant explant procedures

Every surgery involves precise markings and team alignment on the day of the procedure. Surgeons also handle tuberous breast correction and complex implant replacements.

Rehabilitation and Recovery Protocols

Recovery follows a specialized rehabilitation pathway. The clinic builds individualized physiotherapy into every post-operative plan. Therapists assess body characteristics and recovery stages, then adjust treatment accordingly. This helps restore mobility and maintain surgical results over time. Patients can reach the team via WhatsApp with questions during recovery.

The monitoring process includes several structured stages:

Pre-operative plan review with the full surgical team
Provision of the Avah surgical preparation kit
Supervised recovery visits with no fixed limit for one year
Long-term result maintenance assessments

Dr. Henrique Freitas also uses the Molde L Science marking tool. This device improves accuracy during the initial surgical planning phase.

International Patient Services

The clinic runs a dedicated Concierge service for patients traveling from abroad. This service coordinates logistics before and after surgery. It covers local accommodations and private transportation. The team assists with medical exams and arranges in-home nursing care if needed. Online consultations are available for initial planning and follow-up with the rehabilitation specialist.

I had a very positive experience at AVA Medical. The team was professional, welcoming, and took the time to listen carefully to my concerns without making me feel rushed. I truly appreciated the thorough approach and would happily recommend this clinic to anyone looking for attentive, high-quality medical care.

I came to Dr. Anwar with a truly complicated medical history – rheumatism, an artificial heart valve, a pacemaker, and on top of that, blood pressure problems that simply couldn't be controlled with my many medications. In other practices, I often felt like I was just being prescribed medication without anyone really asking why. It was different here. Dr. Anwar took the time to look at my entire situation and didn't just add another medication, but meaningfully complemented my therapy. The result: My blood pressure is finally more stable, and I was actually able to reduce my medication – something I hadn't thought possible. I feel well cared for here, taken seriously, and, above all, understood. I can highly recommend this practice to anyone with a complex cardiovascular history.

I am a retired US biotechnology CEO and am currently a patient of Dr. Simsek. He is an extraordinary physician. He is brilliant, caring, a great listener and very creative. He integrates the very best, game-changing diagnostic and treatment protocols from both western and alternative medicine. I am a highly data driven patient with a persistent personality. After every discussion with Dr. Simsek, I was truly amazed and relieved, because he was always 2-3 steps ahead concerning any possible question or hypothesis that I might have about my condition. Just as important, he took the time with great care to explain everything thoroughly, and his deep compassion and concern for my difficult situation was always present. He was even willing to start medical care for my spouse who was diagnosed with cancer, even though he had a large backlog of patients waiting to be treated. I have visited over 10 clinics in both the U.S. and Europe, including such renowned places as Mass. General Hospital in Boston and Alpstein in Switzerland. These trips included meetings with over 50 physicians from numerous specialties. Only Dr. Simsek was able to provide a definitive diagnosis and treat my complex medical condition, which included very high toxin levels, several infections, a compromised immune system and autoimmunity. I have only the very highest praise for this physician and the entire AVA clinic. I say that Dr. Simsek is “one in a billion” and I mean it. I offer my deepest thanks for all that he has done for me and my spouse. Anyone who visits Dr. Simsek and the AVA clinic will receive truly world-class medical care.

Reached out to Sohrab that I met on an online health and longevity community. He is very engaged, knowledgeable, and passionate about modern, proactive practices. However, this is a new clinic and they are still figuring some things out. That being said, they make up for it with their client care, knowledge, and the extra mile they are willing to go to meet your needs. Overall, very great work and hope to have their guidance for the future!
