Facial Plastic Surgery Procedures

The same concern can arise from different anatomical causes and does not always call for the same procedure. This page introduces the main areas of facial surgery, helping you understand which structures may be involved, which options might be considered, and why choosing an approach always begins with an individual assessment of your face.

AREAS OF FACIAL SURGERY

Each Area Calls for a Different Assessment

Even if you already have a procedure in mind, the same concern may involve different structures. An individual assessment helps identify what is truly affecting facial balance, function or expression, and which approaches may be appropriate in your particular case.

NOSE

Nasal Function, Structure and Proportion

Concerns about the nose may relate to its external appearance, breathing, or both. The assessment considers nasal structure and support, respiratory function and how the nose relates to the rest of the face.

Depending on the individual case, treatment may be aesthetic, functional or a combination of the two.

EARS

Ear Shape, Position and Proportion

Not all ear concerns require the same type of correction. The projection of the outer ear, cartilage shape, size, symmetry, earlobes or an existing injury can each present different needs.

An individual assessment identifies which structures are influencing appearance and whether treatment should focus on the outer ear, the earlobe or both.

UPPER FACE

Forehead, Hairline and Facial Balance

The appearance of the upper face depends on the relationship between forehead height, hairline, eyebrow position and the area around the eyes.

For some patients, the main concern is forehead proportion; for others, it is changes in the eye area or upper facial tissues associated with ageing. The assessment helps determine which structures are involved and which type of correction, if any, may be indicated.

PERIORAL AREA

Upper Lip, Smile and Proportion

The relationship between the base of the nose, upper-lip length, the visible pink portion of the lip and tooth show influences expression and balance in the lower face.

Similar concerns may have different causes, so an assessment is needed to establish which anatomical relationships should be examined before considering surgical correction.

FACIAL REJUVENATION

Different Changes in Every Face

Over time, tissue position, volume distribution, the eye area and facial contours may change. These changes do not develop in the same way or to the same extent for everyone.

Facial rejuvenation therefore begins not with choosing a particular technique, but with identifying which structures have changed and whether it makes sense to treat one area or combine approaches.

Depending on the individual case, procedures such as a mini facelift, facelift, lipofilling, forehead surgery or lip lift may be considered, alone or in combination, as part of a personalised plan.

FACIAL PLANNING

Understanding Your Face Before Making a Decision

Facial planning allows proportions, anatomical relationships and personal goals to be studied before selecting a procedure. It is not limited to a single operation: it can provide valuable information for rhinoplasty, upper-face surgery, perioral procedures and facial rejuvenation.

Profilometry helps assess how different facial structures relate to one another. When appropriate, photographic simulation can be used to explore possible changes and support discussion between the patient and surgeon.

These tools do not predict the final result; they help clarify anatomy, expectations and surgical possibilities before developing an individual plan.

PATIENTS TRAVELLING TO MÁLAGA

Surgery in Málaga, With Coordinated Planning

For patients travelling from outside Málaga or from abroad, surgical preparation can be coordinated with their stay, follow-up appointments and the care required before and after the procedure.

CLINICAL SETTING

A Coordinated Clinical Setting for Assessment, Surgery and Follow-up

Consultations, surgery and follow-up are currently coordinated within the clinical setting of Hospital Quirónsalud Málaga, with planning tailored to each procedure and each patient’s needs.

CONSULTATION

Choosing the Right Procedure Begins With an Individual Assessment

Not every concern calls for the same approach, and not every procedure is suitable for every patient. A consultation helps identify which anatomical relationships need to be assessed and which options may be appropriate.
