Facial surgery

Facial skin ageing is a direct consequence of the progressive loss of elasticity of the dermis, flaccidity of facial muscles and bone resorption. Signs that also show prolonged sun exposure and stress.

Rhinoplasty

By modelling the nose, a change of appearance is obtained and the facial harmony is improved. The specialists at Quirónsalud Levante will study your case and propose the best solution.

Facelift

Facelift is the ideal facial surgery to rejuvenate the whole face in general or parts of it. A surgical technique that involves the removal of excess tissue in the face and neck and tightens all the facial muscles.

Blepharoplasty

The aim of blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery is to obtain a rejuvenating effect of the eyes. In this procedure the excess skin and fat found in the upper and lower eyelids is removed. The difference between Upper Blepharoplasty and Lower Blepharoplasty is the area of the eyelid where the procedure is to be performed. Thus, lower eyelid surgery is used to remove the eye bags, while upper eyelid surgery is used to clear the eyes by removing the sagging and ageing skin.

Bichat Balls

Bichat Balls are oval-shaped fat accumulations located on the cheeks, giving the face a too rounded and bulky appearance. By extracting them, we are able to refine the face and accentuate the cheekbones in the area of the cheeks. You will have a thinner appearance without any visible mark.
