Facial Surgery
Advanced facial rejuvenation solutions to restore harmony to your face with natural, subtle and long-lasting results in Madrid, Marbella and Gibraltar.
Restore the harmony
of your face
Aesthetic facial surgery offers precise surgical solutions to improve the appearance of the face, correct premature ageing and restore harmony between its different regions. Each procedure is designed to achieve natural results that respect the patient’s individual identity.
With over two decades of experience, Dr. Marco Vricella combines the highest level of technical training with a refined aesthetic approach. His facial procedures — face and neck lift, blepharoplasty and otoplasty — can be performed individually or combined to enhance the overall outcome.
We operate in Madrid, Marbella and Gibraltar, with personalised, attentive care at each clinic. During the initial consultation, Dr. Vricella analyses your facial anatomy, listens to your goals and proposes the most suitable surgical plan, explaining every step with complete clarity and without pressure.
Facial surgery
tailored to you
Each procedure is adapted to the patient’s anatomy and goals. Dr. Vricella combines technical precision with a balanced aesthetic vision to deliver natural, harmonious results.
Face & Neck Lift
Tightening and repositioning of the facial and neck tissues to correct sagging, soften folds and restore a more defined, youthful facial contour. Personalised technique based on the degree of ptosis and the area of concern.
Full facial rejuvenationBlepharoplasty
Correction of excess skin, fat and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. Eliminates the tired appearance, reduces puffiness and under-eye bags, and restores a fresh, rested and rejuvenated look.
Eyelid surgeryOtoplasty
Correction of prominent or asymmetric ears through repositioning and reshaping of the auricular cartilage. The scar is perfectly concealed behind the ear. Can be performed under local anaesthesia in adults.
Ear correction
Procedure 01
Face & neck lift:
natural rejuvenation
The face and neck lift — or rhytidectomy — is the flagship procedure in surgical facial rejuvenation. It acts on the skin, fatty tissue and SMAS muscle to tighten and reposition the facial tissues, soften nasolabial folds, redefine the facial oval and address neck laxity with natural, long-lasting results.
- Techniques: mini lift, temporal lift, full lift or deep-plane lift
- Frequently combined with blepharoplasty and fat grafting
- General anaesthesia; day case or one-night stay
- Normal social life resumed in 2–3 weeks
- Final result visible from 3 months onwards
Procedure 02
Blepharoplasty:
a renewed gaze
Blepharoplasty corrects excess skin, fat and muscle from the upper and lower eyelids. It is one of the highest-impact procedures given how minimal the intervention is — a discreet incision in the natural eyelid fold restores a fresh, open and rested appearance.
- Upper eyelids: removes excess skin and fat that weighs down the gaze
- Lower eyelids: reduces puffiness and deep under-eye shadows
- Can be combined with a face lift in the same session
- Local anaesthesia with sedation; day case procedure
- Return to daily activities in 7–10 days
Procedure 03
Otoplasty:
ears in harmony
Otoplasty corrects prominent or asymmetric ears by repositioning and reshaping the auricular cartilage. The incision is made on the back of the ear, leaving the scar completely invisible. In adults it can be performed under local anaesthesia with sedation, with same-day discharge and permanent, immediately visible results.
- Correction of prominent, asymmetric or misshapen ears
- Scar hidden on the posterior surface of the ear
- Local anaesthesia (adults) or general (children); day case
- Possible from age 6–7; no upper age limit in adults
- Visible, permanent result from the first weeks
