clinic Ares

Clinic Ares is a private otolaryngology center in Florianópolis, Brazil. The facility has three specialized departments for ear, nose, and throat conditions. The medical team treats both adults and children through a multidisciplinary approach. This model combines surgical expertise with speech therapy to support recovery and long-term outcomes.

Otolaryngology Specialists and Achievements

The clinic is led by Dr. Fábio Zanini, a specialist with over 20 years of experience. He has performed over 5,000 rhinoplasties since 2003. Dr. Zanini earned his medical degree from the Federal University of Santa Catarina. He also holds a Master's degree in Medicine with a focus on Rhinology from Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São Paulo.

The medical team includes other specialists certified by the Brazilian Association of Otorhinolaryngology and Cervico-Facial Surgery (ABORL-CCF):

• Dr. Fábio Zanini – Rhinoplasty and nasal surgery specialist.
• Dr. Beatriz Luiza de Costa Remor – Focused on otology, rhinology, and pediatric ENT.
• Dr. Anna Paula Bankhardt da Silva – Specialist in general otolaryngology.

A speech and hearing therapist is also part of the clinical staff.

Nasal and Facial Plastic Surgery

Rhinoplasty is a flagship specialty at Clinic Ares. The team uses structured open rhinoplasty for long-term nasal support. This method involves internal restructuring to maintain dorsal delicacy and support the nasal tip. Surgeons also perform closed rhinoplasty with columellar struts and spreader grafts.

Patients often receive functional and aesthetic treatments in a single procedure. The clinic frequently combines cosmetic rhinoplasty with septoplasty to correct deviated septums. This improves breathing alongside the aesthetic changes. For complex cases, the team performs reconstructive procedures such as dacryocystorhinostomy. This surgery restores tear drainage and involves both ENT and ophthalmology specialists.

ENT and Otologic Care

The clinic treats a broad range of ear and throat conditions. Specialized care is available for hearing loss, otitis, and sinusitis. Surgical options include:

• Endoscopic nasal surgery for sinus pathologies and tumor removal.
• Otologic surgeries to treat ear diseases and improve hearing.
• Otoplasty for aesthetic ear correction.
• Skull base surgery for complex ENT conditions.

In cases where nasal tumors compress the eye orbit, the clinic has documented significant vision improvement after surgery. Pediatric ENT services are also a core part of the practice.

Diagnostics and Technology

Clinic Ares uses various diagnostic tools to create precise treatment plans. Specialists conduct audiometry to assess hearing levels and detect hearing loss. Nasal endoscopy and laryngoscopy allow visualization of internal structures. The clinic also performs otoscopy for ear exams. CT or X-ray imaging of the sinuses is ordered when necessary.

International Patient Services

The clinic offers a care model designed for patients from abroad. Initial consultations are available via telemedicine, so patients can discuss their case before traveling to Brazil. The clinical team communicates in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

Post-operative care is well-structured. Many rhinoplasty patients are discharged on the same day as their procedure. The medical team provides detailed guidance on managing swelling and bruising. They also give clear instructions for medication and activity limits during recovery. Final surgical results are typically monitored for up to one year.
