Otoplasty (ear surgery) in Gender Medic Unit
About the clinic
Otoplasty at the Gender Medic Unit in Zaragoza, Spain, corrects ear shape and size for children and adults. The clinic is part of the Hernán Cortés hospital group and holds the WhatClinic Patient Service Award. This surgery fixes prominent or "bat ears" along with other ear shape issues using specialized recovery protocols.
Conditions Treated with Otoplasty
This procedure addresses several aesthetic and structural concerns of the ear. Surgeons at the clinic treat the following conditions:
- Prominent ears which sit far away from the head
- Constricted or cup ears where the rim is folded or tight
- Elongated earlobes caused by aging or heavy jewelry
- Torn earlobes from injury or piercings
Anesthesia and Surgical Process
The medical team offers different anesthesia options based on patient age and comfort. Adults typically choose local anesthesia with or without sedation. General anesthesia is also available if needed. If the surgeon uses local anesthesia, patients usually go home the same day. Those who have general anesthesia might stay overnight for observation.
Recovery and Post-Surgical Care
Recovery is relatively quick, allowing most patients to resume normal tasks within a few days. Children can return to school about 7 days after the procedure. Patients wear a compressive bandage for the first week. After that, they wear a support headband only at night for 3 to 4 weeks. The clinic uses a specific recovery package to help with swelling and healing. These therapies include:
- Manual lymphatic drainage to reduce fluid buildup
- Indiba radiofrequency for tissue repair
- Polarized light therapy to speed up the healing process

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.
