Facial Aesthetic and Functional Surgery Unit

The Facial Aesthetic and Functional Surgery Unit at the Publio Cordón Memorial Hospital specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of structural and functional abnormalities of the nose and facial muscles, as well as imbalances that affect the harmony of the face.

Its work is primarily focused on preserving respiratory function and anatomical stability. It treats both nasal respiratory conditions and facial muscular imbalances that affect symmetry and facial expression.

When to seek advice for nasal problems or facial abnormalities

The assessment is aimed at people with structural nasal obstruction, a deviated septum, cosmetic nasal abnormalities or after-effects following trauma or previous surgery.

We also treat facial asymmetries resulting from peripheral paralysis, muscle hypertonia or age-related changes where there is functional impairment or dynamic imbalance.

The initial aim is to analyse the external and internal nasal anatomy, respiratory function and overall facial proportions before determining any course of treatment.

Anatomical assessment and treatment planning

The assessment includes an internal nasal examination, dynamic facial analysis and a proportional evaluation of the profile. The nasal bridge and tip, the chin and the overall balance of the face are assessed, as well as muscle behaviour at rest and in motion.

Each treatment is planned on an individual basis, taking into account anatomy, realistic expectations and long-term stability.

Cosmetic and functional nose surgery

Rhinoplasty aims to correct structural deviations, improve breathing and harmonise the nasal profile using techniques that preserve the cartilaginous framework and structural stability.

Where the deformity is minor and does not require surgery, rhinoplasty using hyaluronic acid may be considered following a thorough anatomical assessment.

Functional treatment of the facial muscles

In cases of facial paralysis or muscular imbalance, botulinum toxin neuromodulation is used for functional purposes, aimed at improving dynamic symmetry and muscular coordination.

The treatment aims to restore natural facial expression whilst preserving muscle mobility and control.

Clinical follow-up and monitoring of progress

Following surgery or medical treatment, a programme of regular check-ups is put in place to assess respiratory function, wound healing and aesthetic stability.

In neuromodulation, scheduled check-ups are carried out to adjust the dose and maintain functional balance.

A team specialising in nasal surgery and facial harmonisation

The unit comprises specialists dedicated specifically to functional nasal surgery and facial harmonisation, with expertise in advanced structural techniques.

During consultations, we explain in detail the individual’s anatomy, the realistic possibilities for correction and the technical limitations of each procedure. We review risks, recovery times and reasonable expectations before any procedure.

Decision-making is a shared process, particularly where functional and aesthetic objectives overlap. Clinical support is provided throughout the entire care process, from the initial assessment to follow-up care, ensuring structural stability, functional control and continuity of care.

The unit combines surgical precision, rigorous anatomical planning and personalised care to address nasal and facial abnormalities, prioritising safety and long-term harmony.
