Surgical philosophy

Structural facial surgery to preserve the patient’s identity

Dr Riba’s approach is based on a precise clinical principle: the face should not be treated as a surface to be stretched or filled, but as a three-dimensional structure in which bone, deep tissues, skin and expression must remain coherent.

His work focuses on restoring support, proportion and anatomical continuity, especially in patients seeking a natural, stable result that remains compatible with their own facial identity.

In selected cases, the combination of 3D planning, custom facial implants and facial plastic surgery makes it possible to approach the face from its real architecture, avoiding standardised plans or results driven by temporary trends.

The objective is not to change a face. It is to understand which structure is missing, which tissue should be repositioned, which features should be preserved and which expectations are realistic in each case.

Medical profile

Specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery, structural facial surgery and reconstruction

Dr Francisco Riba García is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, medical director of Face Clinic and a specialist in complex facial procedures where anatomical precision is essential.

His career combines more than 25 years of surgical experience, reconstructive surgery, facial plastic surgery, advanced implantology and digital planning applied to highly complex cases.

His current practice focuses mainly on custom 3D facial implants, together with facial aesthetic surgery and complex oral rehabilitation. This vision makes it possible to analyse the face from its skeletal base, the position of the deep tissues and the patient’s overall facial harmony.

His clinical judgement is oriented towards natural-looking results, prudent indications and realistic expectations, avoiding standardised procedures or changes that may alter facial identity.

Areas of specialisation

Three areas connected by one same vision: structure, function and natural results

Dr Riba’s work focuses on high-precision facial and maxillofacial procedures, with particular attention to bone support, facial harmony and individualised planning.

Main specialty Custom 3D facial implants

Design of patient-specific implants for the chin, jawline, cheekbones, paranasal region and other structural facial deficiencies, using 3D planning adapted to each patient’s anatomy.

Facial aesthetic surgery Facelift, blepharoplasty and facial harmonisation

Surgical treatment of facial ageing from a global perspective, understanding the facelift, the eye region and deep tissues as part of the same anatomical unit.

Advanced implantology Complex dental implants and maxillary reconstruction

Treatment of cases involving bone loss, full-arch rehabilitations, pre-prosthetic surgery and advanced techniques for patients requiring complex surgical planning.

Structural facial surgery

Natural-looking results from the real architecture of the face

Dr Riba’s facial surgery is not based on reproducing trend-driven features or applying identical solutions to every patient. His approach begins with a deeper analysis: bone structure, tissue position, function and facial identity.

After years also linked to complex facial reconstruction, his current practice in facial plastic surgery maintains a clear clinical principle: not to transform a face, but to restore support, proportion and anatomical continuity when there is a real indication.

Bone support Assessment of the facial base and structural deficiencies that may influence facial harmony.
3D planning Surgical design adapted to the patient’s real anatomy, especially in custom facial implants.
Preservation Priority is given to maintaining the patient’s own features and avoiding unnecessary changes in facial identity.
Surgical judgement Individualised indication, realistic expectations and planning adjusted to each case.
