Mini Facelift in Gender Medic Unit
About the clinic
A mini facelift at Gender Medic Unit in Zaragoza, Spain, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to address facial flaccidity and wrinkles. The medical team at this facility brings over 20 years of experience to every facial rejuvenation surgery. The clinic is part of the Hernán Cortés hospital group and holds the WhatClinic Patient Service Award for its commitment to care.
Procedure Details and Results
This surgery is typically recommended for patients between the ages of 40 and 60. During the procedure, a surgeon makes small incisions within the hairline, at the temples, and behind the earlobes. They remove excess fat and tighten the skin to create a more youthful look. The surgery uses absorbable sutures, so there is no need for manual stitch removal later. This method improves sagging in the cheeks, neck, and eyebrows. It also helps smooth out lateral wrinkles, though it has a minimal effect on the eyelids.
Hospitalization and Recovery
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or sedation, depending on the patient's needs. Most patients stay in the hospital for 1 night after the surgery. Bruising and swelling are common but usually resolve within 1 to 2 weeks. During the initial recovery, patients must sleep on their backs with their heads elevated. Strenuous physical activities should be avoided during the first few weeks to allow the tissues to heal properly.
Advanced Post-Operative Care
Gender Medic Unit uses a specific recovery protocol to help patients heal faster and boost collagen production. This plan includes several specialized therapies:
- Manual lymphatic drainage (DLM) to reduce swelling and fluid buildup.
- Indiba radiofrequency to stimulate natural collagen formation and skin tightening.
- Polarized light therapy to support the healing of the incision sites.

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.
