What Is Facial Cosmetic Surgery? in Barcelona
What is facial cosmetic surgery?
To feel comfortable with ourselves.
Satisfied and at ease with our facial appearance so we can stop worrying about it. That’s what facial cosmetic surgery is all about. And it’s not the same for everyone, since we have to take into account age, cultural background, personal preferences (what we’d like), and each person’s starting point. There are general standards of beauty—established proportions between the various facial structures—that serve as a guide to help the patient determine what is best in their case.
Thanks to their knowledge of facial, cranial, and oral anatomy, maxillofacial surgeons are medical specialists trained to perform facial cosmetic surgery procedures that address both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the face, mouth, teeth, and jaws. Hidden incisions inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids can completely transform the entire face.
Surgical Steps
There must be harmony between facial appearance and function. For this reason, oral and maxillofacial surgeons must be educated and trained in surgeries involving the skin, muscles, bones, and cartilage. It is important to distinguish between treatments that aim to harmonize the face and those that address the signs of aging.
Today, virtually all of the facial cosmetic surgery procedures we perform at Clínica Birbe are done under local anesthesia and intravenous sedation and do not require hospitalization, as they are outpatient procedures.. It is minimally invasive surgeries and the incisions are precisely placed so that they leave no visible scars.
Thanks to the cryotherapy mask and our cranial and facial physical therapy unit, we are able to ensure a comfortable postoperative experience, with minimal swelling and a faster, more effective recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions: Facial Cosmetic Surgery
What facial cosmetic surgery treatments does Clínica Birbe offer?
We offer rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, otoplasty, facelifts, bone lifts, mentoplasty, mandibuloplasty, lip surgery, buccal fat removal, facial feminization, facial implants, and facial rejuvenation. Each case is planned on an individualized basis, combining medical expertise with digital planning, to achieve a natural result that harmonizes with the rest of the face.
What is the main factor that sets Clínica Birbe in Barcelona apart?
Dr. Joan Birbe is the only oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Spain who is certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (ABOMS). This international accreditation, combined with its European certification and a multidisciplinary team, ensures a comprehensive approach—bone structure, soft tissues, function—that few clinics in Barcelona can offer.
Is facial cosmetic surgery always invasive?
No. There are extensive surgical procedures, such as a full facelift, and other minimally invasive procedures, such as a buccal fat removal or an otoplasty. We also combine surgery with facial cosmetic medicine to enhance results without the need for surgery when it isn’t necessary. The initial consultation helps determine the least invasive option that meets your goals.
What results can I expect from facial cosmetic surgery?
We always strive for a natural result that preserves your natural expression and enhances the harmony of your face. The changes are usually gradual: preliminary results are visible within 4 to 8 weeks, and the final results are seen within 3 to 6 months, once the tissues have settled. We conduct photographic follow-ups and reviews to monitor progress.
Dr. Joan Birbe: Facial Cosmetic Surgery Endorsed by ABOMS

Dr. Birbe’s maxillofacial training , certified by ABOMS, provides that comprehensive approach: working from the bone to the skin to achieve harmonious and natural results. Each procedure is planned with a focus on the patient’s unique proportions and appearance, rather than imitating standardized models.
