Phi: The Golden Ratio

Can a number underlie human beauty? The answer is yes – that number is 1.618, denoted by the Greek letter Phi (or Fi) and known as the Golden Ratio.

Discovered by the ancient Greeks, the Golden Ratio is a mathematical ratio commonly found in nature, including the human body, that the eye finds aesthetically pleasing. The ratio proves that proportionality and symmetry are important factors in what we perceive to be attractive, particularly in female faces.

At Fi Clinica, Phi is a source of renewal and inspiration, a standard of beauty and balance that they always apply in their work.

Services available at Fi Clinica

Cosmetic and plastic surgery

Fi Clinica’s team of six highly trained Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons offer an extensive range of modern procedures for the face, breast and body, including eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, PDO Thread Lift, facelift, breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, Mommy Makeover and Brazilian Butt Lift. They also provide corrective surgeries such as treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture, removal of lipomas and skin tags, and labia correction.

Bariatric surgery

Also known as weight loss or metabolic surgery, bariatric surgery is an option when diet and exercise haven’t worked, or the patient has health problems associated with their excess weight. It can help to prevent serious future problems developing and can be used to treat conditions associated with obesity such as diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea and high cholesterol.

Bariatric surgery at Fi Clinica is performed by Vitalijus Eismontas, MD, PhD, a highly experienced abdominal and bariatric surgeon who performs more than 500 surgeries each year.

All surgery is performed laparoscopically (keyhole surgery). Sleeve gastrectomy and gastric plication are techniques that reduce the size of the patient’s stomach, whereas gastric bypass surgery combines the creation of a smaller stomach with a bypass to shorten the gastrointestinal tract. At consultation, Dr Eismontas will advise on which procedure is most suitable for each individual case.

The correct diet following bariatric surgery is very important for long-term success. Bariatric patients at Fi Clinica are supported by the clinic’s dietician in the immediate postoperative period with follow-up in the years following.

Orthopaedic surgery

Fi Clinica provides access to a wide range of orthopaedic surgeries designed to keep people of all ages pain-free and active, including hip replacement, knee replacement, shoulder joint surgery, knee arthroscopy, knee ligament surgery, elbow and wrist surgery, knee cartilage repair, endoscopic carpel tunnel release and endoscopic decompression of the nerve at the elbow.

Their highly trained orthopaedic surgeons also have extensive experience in revision knee and hip replacement, replacing worn implants that have become unstable causing pain, dysfunction or bone defects.

The clinic only uses the highest quality implants, namely Smith & Nephew, Zimmer Biomet and MicroPortMedial Pivot. Joint replacement surgeries are performed using the Quick Recovery Program with primary rehabilitation taking place at the hospital. Patients then have the option of continuing their rehabilitation at the state-of-the-art Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic located at the nearby spa resort of Birstonas.
