Arm lift (brachioplasty) in Gender Medic Unit

Established in 2013, Clinic San Clemente is a private medical center in Zaragoza, Spain. The facility specializes in plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine, treating over 5,000 patients each year. It is affiliated with the Hernán Cortés hospital group and combines surgical precision with structured recovery protocols.

Accreditations and Humanitarian Achievements

The clinic received the WhatClinic Patient Service Award for its commitment to patient care. Beyond aesthetics, the facility supports reconstructive surgery through the Fundación Sigo Adelante. This foundation works in Pakistan, helping women affected by acid attacks and burns through complex reconstructive procedures and social reintegration programs.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Dr. Sonia Peña leads the surgical unit with over 20 years of experience. The clinic is a high-volume center for breast surgery, having completed more than 5,000 mammary interventions. Surgeons perform both cosmetic enhancements and reconstructive procedures, including breast reconstruction after mastectomy.

Facial surgery options include otoplasty, blepharoplasty, and rhinoplasty. For nasal corrections, the clinic offers several methods:

• Open rhinoplasty for direct vision and structural control
• Closed rhinoplasty to avoid external scarring
• Non-surgical nasal reshaping (Rinomodelación) for three out of four aesthetic cases

Body contouring is another primary focus, led by specialists like Dr. Roberto Herrero. The team performs traditional liposuction and tumescent techniques. These use saline injections to aid fat removal. Most liposuction procedures are outpatient, though complex cases may require an overnight stay.

Aesthetic Medicine and Skin Regeneration

The aesthetic medicine department offers non-surgical treatments to improve skin texture and firmness. Specialists use the Nanopore Turbo-Roller for microneedling. This delivers vitamins and hyaluronic acid through controlled micropunctures. A typical program requires 3 to 4 sessions spaced three weeks apart.

Regenerative therapies include exosome therapy for anti-aging and skin repair. This protocol involves three sessions at 21-day intervals to stimulate natural collagen production. The clinic also treats hair loss with transplants and exosome-based stimulation to improve density.

Other non-surgical treatments include:

• Chemical peels and facial bio-stimulation
• Radiofrequency and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
• Botox for both wrinkles and bruxism
• LPG Endermologie for lymphatic drainage and volume reduction

For weight management, the clinic uses the Tanita body composition analyzer. This creates personalized diet programs based on body measurements.

Advanced Medical Technologies

The clinic uses specialized equipment to improve surgical outcomes and speed healing. Operating rooms have technology for ultrasonic rhinoplasty and advanced anesthesia monitoring. For post-operative care, the facility uses Indiba radiofrequency and Luz Polarizada (Polarized Light). These reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue recovery.

Support and Recovery Services

Every surgical patient receives a structured recovery plan. This combines physiotherapy with manual lymphatic drainage (DLM). The surgeon remains responsible for follow-up care for one year after the procedure. Patients also have direct phone access to their surgeon during the initial post-operative phase.

Breast surgery patients receive long-term monitoring through regular medical evaluations. These checks help identify early signs of implant wear or capsular contracture. Specialists provide close follow-up to confirm inflammation decreases properly and the final result meets expectations.
