Facial Harmonization · Surgical
Facial surgery: only when your face truly needs it
Dr. Thuel does not recommend what is not needed, and that includes the operating room. When Non-Surgical Facial Harmonization is no longer enough, she and Dr. Poveda, Physician and Surgeon, Specialist in Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, assess your case together and tell you which surgery would make sense. No one will pressure you into surgery. All of our surgeries are outpatient: you go home the same day.
Medical consultation · US$100, VAT included. This amount is applied in full toward your treatment or procedure if you formalize it with your payment on the same day or within the following seven calendar days. It can be the full payment or a first payment of more than US$100. Booking it does not commit you to having surgery.
Every consultation is handled personally by Dr. Thuel and Dr. Poveda, so their availability is limited. We suggest booking in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What people ask us most about facial surgery
Why have surgery at Clínica Thuel?
Because two physicians handle your case from start to finish. Dr. Irene Thuel, Physician and Surgeon, Expert in Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery, and Dr. Juan Ramón Poveda Xatruch, MED5800, work as a team on every surgery. Together they have more than 40 years of experience. That way, surgery and harmonization can form a single plan for your face.
Do I need surgery, or is Facial Harmonization enough?
Your consultation determines that. Non-surgical harmonization is usually not enough when there is excess skin, marked laxity, or a nose that needs a structural change.
Will you pressure me into surgery?
No. Surgery is only proposed when your case requires it, and money never makes the decision. If you don't need it, we will tell you.
What is the investment for facial surgery?
It depends on the procedure and your case. We tell you the investment during the consultation, before you decide.
The consultation costs US$100, VAT included. If you decide to have a medical treatment or procedure, that amount is applied in full toward your treatment or procedure when you formalize it with your payment on the same day as the consultation or within the following seven calendar days. It can be the full payment or a first payment of more than US$100.
When can I return to my routine?
It depends on the procedure, your health and how your body responds. Dr. Thuel and Dr. Poveda will explain what to expect in your case.
