Maxillofacial Surgery Treatments in Barcelona
What are maxillofacial surgery procedures, and what problems do they address?
Maxillofacial surgery is the medical specialty that focuses on the neck and face, excluding the eyes, ears, and brain. It is divided into various subspecialties; among them, Dr. Birbe is particularly well-known for his expertise in orthognathic surgery, facial cosmetic surgery, advanced implantology, and bone reconstruction in implantology.
At Clínica Birbe, we perform maxillofacial surgery to treat:
- Conditions Affecting Mastication or Orthognathic Surgery
- Surgical Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
- Correction of Post-Traumatic Facial Deformities
- Cirugía de la nariz o rinoplastia
- Eyelid Surgery or Blepharoplasty
We are also experts in jaw reconstruction surgery when there is insufficient bone to place dental implants.
Surgical Steps in Maxillofacial Treatment
Most of these problems are addressed through the mouth, so there are no visible facial scars. Hence the importance of mastering oral surgery to perform excellent maxillofacial treatments. In addition, we have a cranial and facial physical therapy unit to facilitate better post-surgical recovery and address temporomandibular joint problems.

When is maxillofacial surgery necessary?
Maxillofacial treatments are necessary when there are cosmetic and functional problems with the structure of the face and/or neck. These problems can arise for various reasons, but the most common causes are trauma or genetic factors.
The first step in the process will be a medical consultation with our specialists at Clínica Birbe to determine the diagnosis and discuss the best treatment option for your specific case.
Frequently Asked Questions About Modern Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
What sets modern maxillofacial surgery apart from conventional surgery?
Modern maxillofacial surgery incorporates 3D digital planning, virtual simulation of the outcome, 3D-printed surgical guides, and minimally invasive approaches. At Clínica Birbe in Barcelona, this translates to more predictable procedures, intraoral scars in most cases, and shorter recovery times. Dr. Joan Birbe, an ABOMS-certified specialist, draws on his experience to combine technology and clinical judgment to tailor each treatment.
What treatments does modern maxillofacial surgery encompass?
This includes orthognathic surgery, treatment of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), extraction of impacted teeth, fenestrations, frenectomies, treatment of facial trauma, and management of tumors of the head, neck, and mouth. We also perform complex pre-implant reconstructions. Each case is planned individually, using advanced imaging tests and, when appropriate, a virtual simulation of the outcome.
Does maxillofacial surgery leave visible scars?
In the vast majority of procedures, we access the area through the mouth, which prevents any visible scars on the face. In cases where an external incision is unavoidable, it is planned so that it is hidden in natural folds or areas that are less visible. We use meticulous suturing techniques and provide postoperative follow-up to optimize healing.
How long does it take to get back to normal?
It depends on the type of procedure. After minor surgeries, patients can resume their social lives within a few days. For major procedures, such as orthognathic surgery or TMJ treatment, the initial recovery period is 1 to 2 weeks, and patients return to work gradually. The inflammation gradually subsides over the course of the first month. We provide a clear recovery schedule and personalized follow-up visits.
Dr. Joan Birbe: Modern Maxillofacial Surgery Endorsed by the ABOMS
Modern maxillofacial surgery combines digital diagnosis, virtual planning, and minimally invasive techniques. Dr. Birbe applies to this approach the technical standards required for his ABOMS certification, a periodic recertification process that requires him to continuously update protocols and results. Patients in Barcelona thus have access to planned procedures that meet standards equivalent to those of major North American centers.
