At Clínica Birbe, located in the heart of Barcelona, we are committed to the most advanced technology to offer aesthetic and reconstructive solutions that transform the lives of our patients. As a leader in maxillofacial surgery in Barcelona, we stand out for the application of personalised facial implants with PEEK, an innovative material that guarantees natural, safe and predictable results.

what are personalised facial prostheses and what are they for?

Customised facial prostheses are specifically designed to fit each patient’s unique anatomy. Unlike standard implants, our custom implants in Barcelona allow:

• Correct asymmetries and restore facial balance.
  
• Restore bone structures after surgery, trauma or ageing.
  
• Improve cheekbones, jaw angles, chin or forehead with maximum precision.
  

The exact fit minimises surgical risks and shortens recovery, providing facial harmony from the first moment.

Advantages of PEEK in Facial Implants

PEEK (polyether ether ether ketone) is one of the most advanced materials in facial surgery today:

• Extreme biocompatibility: avoids rejection and adverse reactions.
  
• Bone-like rigidity: provides support and stability.
  
• Lightness: long-term comfort, less overload.
  
• Stability and durability: does not alter with time or temperature changes.
  
• High customisation: allows results tailored to your expectations.
  

Comparative Table of Materials (PEEK vs. other common materials)

Unlike silicone or titanium, PEEK allows a perfect fit and reduces the risk of complications such as bone resorption or displacement, making it ideal for those seeking high-precision results.

what is the PEEK Custom Implant Procedure like?

1. First consultation and digital diagnosis
   We perform a 3D scan of the face to obtain accurate digital images of your bone structure.
2. Tailor-made virtual design
   Our team, led by Dr. Joan Birbe – the only American Board-certified maxillofacial surgeon in Barcelona – designs your prosthesis with CAD/CAM software, guaranteeing impeccable fit and aesthetics.
3. Advanced manufacturing
   Once the design is approved, the implant is manufactured using high-precision 3D printing or CNC milling, with the entire process being completed in approximately one week.
4. Intervention and recovery
   • Minimally invasive surgery, with no visible scars (intraoral access).
     
   • Performed under local anaesthesia with sedation.
     
   • Rapid recovery: most patients return to their routine in less than a week.
     
   • Personalised follow-up to control swelling, bruising and ensure maximum definition within a few weeks.
