Planas Clinic / Clinica Planas

In the early 1970s, Dr Jaime Planas-Guasch founded Clinica Planas as a centre devoted to plastic and reconstructive surgery. Thanks to his extensive experience, this pioneering initiative in Europe was successful from the outset and enjoys a high reputation in both surgery and research.

Located in elegant surroundings in the city of Barcelona, the well-equipped Clínica Planas features the latest technology and has a well earned international reputation for its dynamic approach to the subject.

In recent years, a wide range of activities are testament to its inherent spirit of sharing and exchanging information and techniques. It takes pride in its encouragement of research, the implementation of new surgical techniques and the training of specialists, thanks to the many congresses, conferences and courses in which it has been involved.

Additionally, it has become a centre for regular meetings where specialists from around the world can gather to pool experiences. The clinic´s interest in education is also apparent in that it admits doctors as interns for varying periods to complete their training, and that since 1988 it has offered doctorate courses in plastic surgery under the auspices of the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona.
