Facilities & where we operate
Dr Francisco Riba provides specialist consultations in Madrid, Spain, and performs surgery in the most appropriate medical setting for each case: Face Clinic’s outpatient facilities or a hospital environment when clinically required.
From the first assessment to surgical planning and postoperative follow-up, every case is organised according to diagnosis, treatment complexity, anaesthetic requirements and the level of clinical monitoring required.

The right setting for each procedure.
Dr Riba’s work is focused on oral and maxillofacial surgery, advanced implantology, facial skeletal surgery and complex facial procedures.
Not all procedures require the same surgical environment. Some selected interventions can be performed in an outpatient clinical setting, while more complex operations require a hospital environment with the appropriate anaesthetic and postoperative resources.
The decision is based on safety, surgical precision, the patient’s medical background and the expected recovery process.
Two Face Clinic locations in Madrid, Spain.
Specialist consultations, diagnostic assessment, surgical planning and follow-up visits are organised at Face Clinic Madrid, with one location in Barrio de Salamanca and another in Aravaca–Pozuelo, in the north-west area of Madrid.
Face Clinic Madrid — Barrio de Salamanca
Located in one of Madrid’s most established medical districts, this clinic is a key location for specialist consultation, diagnosis, surgical planning, selected outpatient procedures and postoperative follow-up.
The Barrio de Salamanca clinic also houses the minor outpatient surgery room used for selected procedures that do not require a hospital environment.
Face Clinic Madrid — Aravaca · Pozuelo
The Aravaca–Pozuelo clinic offers a discreet and comfortable clinical setting for patients from north-west Madrid, Pozuelo de Alarcón, Aravaca, Majadahonda, Las Rozas and nearby areas.
It is used for specialist consultations, diagnostic assessment, treatment planning and postoperative reviews.
Minor outpatient surgery room for selected procedures.
Face Clinic Madrid has its own minor surgery room authorised by the Community of Madrid for selected outpatient procedures. This setting is used when the intervention can be safely performed without a full hospital environment.
Depending on the clinical indication, selected procedures may be performed under local anaesthesia and, when required, monitored sedation with qualified anaesthetic supervision. In suitable cases, patients can usually return home the same day.

Can all procedures be performed at Face Clinic?
No. Some selected minor outpatient procedures may be performed at Face Clinic Madrid, but more complex interventions require a hospital setting. The indication depends on the type of surgery, anaesthesia, medical history and expected postoperative needs.
Where is the minor outpatient surgery room located?
It is located at Face Clinic Madrid — Barrio de Salamanca, Calle de Diego de León, 39. It is used only for selected cases that are clinically suitable for outpatient management.
Can surgery be performed under sedation?
When clinically indicated, some procedures may be performed under local anaesthesia with monitored sedation and appropriate anaesthetic supervision. This decision is made after individual medical assessment.
When is hospital surgery recommended?
Hospital surgery is usually recommended for more complex interventions, multiple custom facial implants, combined facial procedures or cases requiring general anaesthesia and closer postoperative monitoring.
Can I go home the same day?
In selected outpatient procedures, patients can usually return home the same day if the surgical and anaesthetic criteria allow it. Hospital procedures follow a different protocol depending on the intervention and recovery.
