Dr. André Giannini

Dr André Giannini is a plastic surgeon in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, who runs a dedicated hair transplant site 1. The site (in Portuguese) says he has been a plastic surgeon for 25 years and now works exclusively in hair transplantation 1. It says he studied medicine at the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora 1. It lists a general surgery residency in Ribeirão Preto and a plastic surgery residency at Hospital Felício Rocho in Belo Horizonte 1. It lists fellowships at the Clínica Ivo Pitanguy in Rio de Janeiro, the Clínica Fluminense and in craniofacial surgery at Hospital de Ipanema 1. Consultations take place at Clínica Metta, R. Paraíba 1174, Savassi, Belo Horizonte 1.

The site offers FUE hair transplants, beard and eyebrow transplants, and non-surgical treatments: LED therapy, mesotherapy, drug microinfusion into the skin (MMP) and oral medication 1. It does not mention FUT 1. It says surgery is done in a hospital under local anaesthesia with intravenous sedation, with an anaesthetist present throughout 1. It says Dr Giannini leads the whole operation, supported by an assistant doctor, an anaesthetist, nursing staff and instrument technicians 1. It does not say which steps the assistant doctor carries out 1. On the day of surgery he does the final planning, markings and shaving with the patient 1. The site says the procedure takes about 8 hours on average 1.

The site publishes no price of its own 1. A January 2025 blog post gives a general price range for hair transplants in Belo Horizonte, which is not his own quote 2.

The first consultation is paid and can be in person or online 1. The fee is not stated 1. The site says follow-up continues through recovery, which takes about one year on average 1.
