FOR COMMITMENT& EXCELLENCE

PRESTIGE & A MODERN PHILOSOPHY

After ten years exclusively in the field of Facial Feminization Surgery, Dr. Luis Capitán and Dr. Daniel Simon's team have accumulated a wealth of experience in this surgical discipline.

More than 1000 people have undergone FFS here with extraordinary satisfaction rates. The continuing commitment to excellence shared by every member of FACIALTEAM drives the constant implementation of advancements in our surgical techniques and protocols.

For this reason, FACIALTEAM is now internationally recognized for excellence in Facial Gender Confirmation Surgery, with an exemplary philosophy based on the following three pillars:

• Natural results• Hidden incisions• Reveal the most feminine version of yourself, yet preserving your core identity

FACIALTEAM's prestige is reflected in two fundamental areas: high-quality surgical results and widespread recognition in the medical sectors as key opinion leaders in this surgical field. Evidence of this achievement includes awarded publications in prominent scientific journals and keynote appearances at numerous respected professional conferences. References are available upon request.

WORLD-CLASS FACILITY

FACIALTEAM works in participation with the prestigious HC International Hospital in Marbella (Costa del Sol, Spain).

This is an exclusive private hospital with more than 15 years of experience. The institution complies with the Andalusian Public Registry of Health Services and bears the seal of ISO quality and environmental certifications for the

management, safety and social responsibility applicable to hospital services. The carefully selected personnel have received sensitivity training so you are sure to be treated with the warmth and respect deserved, up to the smallest detail.

The surroundings, only 200 metres from the sea, transmit a sense of calm and well-being that is essential for your recuperation.

NEXT-GENERATION TECHNOLOGY

Our Operating Theatre is equipped with the latest generation technology and our instruments are selected from the best available on the global medical market.

Ultrasonic bone-surgery technology, which is less invasive, is employed to reduce post-surgical discomfort and complications, such as nerve damage.

The most minimal detail of your surgery is discussed through an exhaustive preoperative planning system, which includes diagnostics such as 3D CT scan imaging to identify the elements to be addressed as well as assess your results.

Our team works with designers of medical materials, seeking to continually improve surgical results as well as the postoperative period for a more comfortable recuperation.

We take the consultation process seriously since it is the first important step in a thorough orientation that will help you understand the surgical options in your case but also what results you may expect.

At this step in your research, you should meet us either in person or via video-consultation. In addition, we suggest speaking with some of our former patients, who you can connect with via our online gallery and private Facebook group.

After resolving all your doubts through consultations with the doctors and communications with the patient coordinator, you are now confident about what facial feminization process is best for you.

It has been an arduous journey to reach this point. From here on it will be simple with the support of our sta� helping to prepare every detail of your visit to Marbella.

You're in Spain!

From the moment you arrive our chau�eurs will take care of your transport to see us. Plan for a full day of preoperative tests and consultations with the team. Two days after you arrive, you will have your surgery and will stay in the hospital for 1 – 2 days.

THE FACIAL FEMINIZATION PROCESS

PHASE 1 PHASE 2 PHASE 3YOUR CASE: THE EVALUATIONPROCESS

ESTABLISHING THE TREATMENTPLAN

THE DAY ARRIVES:PREPARATIONSAND SURGERY

A decade of experience has brought us to implement services to ensure your surgical experience in Marbella is as stress-free as possible. Your wellbeing and peace of mind is important for a smooth recovery:· Dedicated Nocturnal Nurse in hospital· Individual & group sessions with sta� psychologist· Hilotherapy, Lymphatic Drainage Massage & Acupuncture· Follow-up Nurse visits to your hotel, and more

About 8 – 10 days after surgery you will return home. This leaves enough time to remove the sutures after the possibility of any significant medical complication has been ruled out.

Now it's time to wait out the longer postoperative period, during which you'll see the final result appear, little by little. This requires great patience!

You will still have plenty of questions once home, so contact us with any queries! The designated Postop coordinator is at your service, part of the Comprehensive Care Department which will be monitoring your evolution for one year until definitive results may be assessed.

PHASE 4 PHASE 5THEPOSTOPERATIVEEXPERIENCE

LONG-TERMPATIENT CARE

DEDICATED NIGHT NURSE

Our exclusive night-duty nurse is vigilant at a time when you are most vulnerable and in need of a helping hand or perhaps just want a bit of company.

HILOTHERAPY

The first step in this Postop Protocol begins immediately after your surgery is complete, when the nurse puts on a special cooling cryotherapy mask to aid in reducing bruising, swelling and pain, which you will wear during the first day.

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE

After surgery our massage therapist will visit you for a serene session to stimulate your lymphatic system for better and faster healing, not to mention intense relaxation!

AFTERCARE & SUPPORT

FACIALTEAM is your family here, although coming with a trusted companion is always a great help. From our experience, we know it is meaningful to wake up after surgery with someone you can rely on. As with every journey, shared experiences are the most beautiful ones. Nevertheless, our onsite counsellor is available to assist when you just need a listening ear.

WELLBEING

Taking care of the body and mind is an essential part of everybody’s wellbeing. It is for this reason that we will give you some advice that will help ensure that you are as prepared as possible before, during and after the operation. If at any point you feel impatient and this makes you anxious or upset, remember that you can always contact with our Comprehensive Care Department.

ACUPUNCTURE

If desired, patients have the opportunity to benefit from a session which may help to minimize inflammation, reduce post-surgical stress and improve relaxation levels for more restful, healing sleep.

24-HOUR CONTACT

I'll be in daily contact with you by phone to check that everything is going well, answer any questions you might have and consult with the doctors when necessary on your behalf. The doctors will also meet you periodically and as necessary to see how you're progressing.

“The results are truly remarkable. I still have a

massive smile on my face every time I look in

the mirror. From the start, I was guided all the

way through the process, given advice and

able to discuss exactly what my needs were.

FACIALTEAM are caring and compassionate

professionals who were there with me all the

way and are still with me today. As far as I am

concerned, they are the best FFS surgical

team globally.”

“FFS has made it easier for my friends to

accept me in my new role as a woman…

that has become the most gratifying result

for me. I strongly recommend

FACIALTEAM, especially if you want to

become more confident as a woman and

successful with your transition.”

“It didn't take too long to find consistently

positive references to FACIALTEAM and it

was a nice surprise to find a European clinic at

the top of the tree when I'd expected either

America or Thailand.”

WHY IS FACIALTEAM CONSIDERED A PIONEER IN FACIAL GENDER SURGERY?

RESEARCH, INNOVATION & EDUCATION

This pioneering project in Facial Feminization was launched by FACIALTEAM in 2015. The Institute is designed to be an independent research centre, charged with the mission of establishing scientific bases for facial gender recognition and disseminating various projects and studies on the topic. The TransHealth Initiative project involves the exchange of knowledge with other leading professionals in GRS and voice in order to raise the standards of trans-healthcare globally.

• To actively contribute to scientific research in the fields of Medicine, Surgery, Sociology, Psychology and Anthropology.

• To promote the transfer of research results to society in general and to any associations or groups that might benefit.

• To contribute to the general interest via the organization of activities, whether alone or in collaboration with other public and private entities, aimed at educating and providing information about facial gender identification.

• To establish and support the creation of national and international scientific collaboration networks.

THE GOALS OF RESEARCH, INNOVATION & EDUCATION.

The key to achieving a highly satisfactory result begins with meticulous planning prior to surgery and the correct choice of each technique. Clearly, then, a basic premise of this surgery is having access to exhaustive, up-to-date and scientific information about facial gender identity.
