Lip lift in Gender Medic Unit
About the clinic
A lip lift at Gender Medic Unit in Zaragoza, Spain, is a surgical procedure that shortens the space between the nose and the upper lip. This treatment offers a permanent structural change, making it a lasting alternative to temporary dermal fillers. The clinic holds a 4.9 rating from over 200 patient reviews and recently received the WhatClinic Patient Service Award.
The Bullhorn Technique and Results
The clinic specializes in the bullhorn incision method for this procedure. The surgeon makes a small incision shaped like bull horns directly under the base of the nose. This specific placement helps hide the scar within the natural shadows and creases of the face. Unlike fillers, this method does not add artificial volume or cause a "duck lip" look. Instead, it rolls the pink part of the lip outward and upward to create a naturally fuller appearance. This change also improves the "dental show," which means more of the upper teeth are visible when smiling.
Procedure Details and Recovery
Patients undergo the surgery under local anesthesia, which keeps them comfortable while avoiding the risks of general sedation. The procedure is relatively quick, usually taking between 45 and 60 minutes. Because it is an outpatient treatment, patients can leave the clinic shortly after the surgery ends. The recovery process involves the following steps:
- Hospitalization: None required; patients return home the same day.
- Initial Recovery: Mild swelling occurs during the first few days but resolves quickly.
- Suture Removal: A medical professional removes the stitches about 7 to 10 days after the surgery.
- Long-term Care: No annual touch-ups are necessary because the results are permanent.
Why Choose Gender Medic Unit
The facility is known for its high patient satisfaction and focus on facial harmony. By balancing the distance between the nose and mouth, the procedure creates a more youthful and proportional facial structure. The clinic maintains high standards of care, evidenced by its international recognition and positive feedback from 295+ patients.

Gender Medic Unit: more details about the clinic
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.
