I'm the Director of Clínica San Clemente and of the GenderMedic Unit, based in Zaragoza. I specialize in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, performing breast surgery, facial and body procedures, hair restoration, and aesthetic medicine — the full spectrum of what a patient's journey may require, under one roof and one standard of care.

I trained through the MIR program at Hospital Universitario Miguel Servet in Zaragoza, and I'm a full member of the Spanish Society of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery (SECPRE) and of SUNRA. What I care about most isn't just the technical result — it's building a team capable of handling every case with the same rigor, whether it's a straightforward procedure or a complex, multidisciplinary journey.

That same commitment is why I founded Fundación Sigo Adelante, through which I personally perform reconstructive surgical missions in countries with limited medical access — because excellence should reach further than a clinic's walls. I lead the same standard of honesty, safety and personalized care at GenderMedic, where I coordinate a multidisciplinary team dedicated to gender affirmation.

Your wellbeing and your confidence in the results are, and will always be, my responsibility.
