Clinic Fine is a private specialty clinic in Salvador, Brazil. It focuses on plastic surgery and hair restoration. Established in 2006, the facility operates from a single building with three medical departments. The clinic serves patients seeking aesthetic and reconstructive improvements. It combines surgical expertise with recovery-focused cosmetic treatments.
Expertise and Professional Accreditations
Dr. Ito Meireles Filho leads the clinic. He is a plastic surgeon with around 20 years of clinical experience. He holds the title of Titular Member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). He also serves as an associate professor for the Brazilian Association of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABCRC).
Dr. Bernardo Fontes specializes in body contouring and structured mammoplasty. Both lead physicians maintain active professional registrations. The clinic uses a structured consultation approach to align surgical planning with each patient's expectations.
Advanced Hair Restoration
The clinic provides hair, beard, and eyebrow restoration services. Specialists use both FUE and FUT techniques to address various stages of alopecia. Procedures are performed under sedation. They typically last 8 to 10 hours depending on case complexity.
A notable differentiator is the "Punching Out" technique. Dr. Ito Meireles Filho created this method to treat advanced scars from previous FUT procedures. It helps achieve more natural results for patients refining existing transplant donor areas.
Hair restoration recovery follows a specific timeline monitored by the medical team:
- Initial days involve mild redness and sensitivity in the treated area.
- A shedding phase occurs between the 3rd week and the 3rd month.
- Gradual new hair growth begins after the 3rd month.
- Final evolution of hair density continues over the first year.
Physicians provide ongoing follow-up during these stages to monitor scalp health and implant progress.
Plastic Surgery and Body Contouring
The surgical department covers a variety of facial and body procedures. Dr. Bernardo Fontes focuses on high-definition liposculpture and breast surgery. The clinic offers several specialized operations:
- Breast augmentation with silicone implants
- Mastopexy (breast lift), with or without implants
- Reduction mammaplasty to relieve physical discomfort
- Gynecomastia surgery to correct enlarged male breast tissue
- Facial procedures including blepharoplasty, otoplasty, and endoscopic facelifts
- Body contouring such as tummy tucks and Brazilian Butt Lifts
Surgeons also perform facial fat grafting. This technique uses the patient's own tissue to restore volume and improve facial harmony.
Aesthetic Medicine and Recovery Services
The clinic offers non-surgical treatments to support surgical recovery and skin health. These services reduce swelling or improve tissue texture after a procedure. Available technologies and methods include:
- Manthus therapy – uses ultrasound and electrical stimuli to reduce localized fat and cellulite.
- Radiofrequency and Carboxitherapy for skin tightening and circulation.
- Lymphatic drainage to assist in post-operative healing.
- Diamond peeling and microdermabrasion for skin resurfacing.
- Scalp and facial mesotherapy to deliver nutrients directly to the tissue.
These treatments are personalized for each patient to complement their surgical outcomes.
Services for International Patients
Clinic Fine supports remote patients through online teleconsultations. International patients can begin their assessment and surgical planning before traveling to Salvador. Follow-up care is coordinated from pre-operative preparation through final recovery stages.
