A
number
of
new
clinics
have
opened
on
the
Costa
del
Sol
in
recent
years,
offering
prospective
clients
the
quality
of
service,
typically
associated
with
city
clinics,
and
of
course,
the
chance
to
recuperate
in
the
sun….
With
its
beautiful
golf
courses
and
five-star
hotels,
Marbella
has
enjoyed
an
eminent
reputation
as
a
playground
for
the
rich
and
famous
since
the
1970s.
In
response
to
the
demands
of
visitors
to
the
area,
a
number
of
specialised
plastic
surgery
clinics
have
opened
in
recent
years,
offering
clients
an
array
of
cosmetic
therapies,
plastic
and
general
surgeries.
Tummy-tucks,
face-lifts,
nose-jobs
and
boob-jobs,
these
are
the
words
we
casually
associate
with
cosmetic
treatments.
However,
on-going
research
and
key
medical
breakthroughs,
particularly
in
the
last
decade,
mean
that
doctors
can
now
offer
patients
an
unprecedented
choice
of
safer
treatments.
The
longest
established,
and
possibly
the
best-known
clinic
in
Marbella
is
the
Molding
Clinic.
Its
palatial
façade
provides
a
stunning
landmark
at
the
N-340
entrance
to
Puerto
Banus.
The
clinic
has
been
constructed
with
the
luxury
of
a
first-class
hotel
in
mind
and
upon
entering,
this
is
certainly
the
impression
created
by
its
sliding
glass
doors,
marble
fixtures
and
friendly
reception
staff.
The
clinic
retains
an
intimate
service
by
restricting
the
number
of
rooms
to
fifteen,
each
equipped
with
an
en-suite
bathroom,
entertainment
centre,
fridge
and
personalised
menu.
On-site
are
two
operating
theatres,
along
with
three
recovery
rooms,
each
equipped
with
the
latest
technology.
The
Marbella
Highcare
clinic
was
established
just
one
year
ago
and
rivals
the
Molding
Clinic
in
terms
of
quality
of
service
and
on-site
facilities.
The
Marbella
Highcare
clinic
models
itself
on
the
American
Hospital
in
Paris
and
other
internationally
renowned
clinics,
such
as
those
in
Switzerland
and
therefore
provides
more
general
treatments,
along
with
cosmetic
and
plastic
surgery.
The
clinic’s
private
grounds,
luxurious
interiors,
designer
rooms,
twenty-four
hour
medical
attention,
emergency
services
as
well
as
the
on-site
swimming
pool
and
physiotherapy
centre
do
place
this
clinic
at
the
forefront
of
specialised
medical
care.
Both
clinics
specialise
in
Ozone
therapy,
which
is
a
recent
breakthrough
in
anti-ageing
therapies.
This
treatment,
not
only
combats
the
signs
of
ageing
but,
can
also
contribute
to
longer
life
and
provide
relief
for
patients
with
serious
complaints
such
as
cerebral
and
coronary
arteriosclerosis
(blockages),
diabetes,
ulcers
and
blood-clots.
The
treatment
can
be
administered
in
a
number
of
different
ways
depending
on
the
needs
of
the
patient,
including
facial
masks,
auto-chemotherapy
(whereby
blood
is
extracted
and
ozonated
in
a
sterile
unit
and
returned
to
the
body),
anally,
locally
or
externally
or
via
various
specialised
methods
of
injection.
In
each
instance,
patients
typically
require
fifteen
sessions
of
treatment
and
afterwards
will
make
a
full
recovery,
enjoying
renewed
and
better
health.
As
mentioned,
there
are
a
much
wider
variety
of
medical
services
available
at
the
Marbella
Highcare
clinic,
such
as
its
Oncocentre,
a
unit
specialising
in
the
clinical
study
and
treatment
of
cancer.
Treatments
in
the
centre
include
chemotherapy,
hormonal
therapy,
cell
therapy
and
gene
therapy.
A
third
clinic,
which
also
offers
a
high
level
service
and
varied
treatments,
is
the
Marbella
Laser
Clinic,
based
in
Nueva
Andalucia.
Along
with
a
range
of
cosmetic
and
plastic
surgery
options,
this
clinic
has
also
recently
implemented
two
new
specialist
services.
Firstly,
they
have
introduced
a
dedicated
unit
for
women’s
health.
This
unit
offers
treatments
based
on
the
latest
discoveries
in
the
fields
of
gynaecology
and
hormonal
therapies.
Their
second
new
unit
focuses
on
aesthetic
dentistry.
The
normal
ageing
process
will
result
in
the
lengthening,
lightening,
discolouring
and
rounding
of
teeth.
However,
many
younger
people
can
also
experience
these
problems
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
But,
as
this
clinic
will
tell
you,
there
is
no
reason
to
let
your
smile
suffer.
An
array
of
treatments
is
on
offer
including
veneers,
cosmetic
crowns,
bonding,
dental
implants
and
mini-dental
implants.
All
clinics
provide
an
array
of
plastic
surgery
treatments
including
breast
surgery
(reduction
and
enlargement),
facial
surgery,
liposculpture,
skin
surgeries
and
removal
of
varicose
veins.
Although
each
clinic
does
provide
similar
cosmetic
and
plastic
surgery
services,
there
may
be
variations
in
the
methodology
and
administration
and
naturally,
it
is
best
to
consult
directly
with
the
clinic
to
determine,
which
clinic
and
treatment
is
best
for
you.
Spanish
law
recently
made
it
illegal
for
cosmetic
surgeons
to
practice
anything
other
than
superficial
surgery,
in
other
words
they
are
permitted
only
to
deal
with
the
skin
and
fat,
down
to
the
very
surface
of
the
muscles.
Generally
speaking,
‘cosmetic’
basically
always
means
superficial.
The
only
legal
requirement
to
qualify
as
a
cosmetic
surgeon
is
to
be
a
general
practitioner
(six
to
eight
years
of
studies
in
Europe)
with
a
non-official
surgical
training
received
by
fellows
or
through
workshops.
The
proliferation
of
plastic
surgeries
available
at
these
clinics
demands
more
years
of
training.
Plastic
surgeons
in
Spain
are
required
to
spend
an
additional
three
years
in
practice
and
up
to
five
or
seven
years
in
hospitals
(if
they
have
studied
in
burn
and
hand
reconstruction
services).
All
surgeons
at
each
of
the
clinics,
mentioned
above,
are
specialists
in
their
chosen
fields.
European
law
also
upholds
stringent
registration
processes,
overseeing
and
monitoring
the
practice
of
all
plastic
surgeries.
All
in
all,
this
ensures
that
patients
in
these
clinics
receive
first-class
service
in
a
first-class
environment,
and
no
doubt,
enjoy
to
the
full,
the
extra
years,
both
in
appearance
and
longer
life,
which
these
treatments
can
offer. |
