Where is the clinic? Getting here from the Costa del Sol
You will find us at Quirónsalud Hospital, Av. Imperio Argentina 21, Malaga — a few minutes from the city centre and easy to reach by car or taxi from Malaga Airport and from anywhere on the coast: Marbella, Fuengirola, Benalmádena, Torremolinos, Mijas, Estepona, Nerja or Rincón de la Victoria.
Opening hours: Monday to Thursday from 10 am to 2 pm and from 4 pm to 8 pm, and Friday from 10 am to 2 pm.
Recovering in Malaga as an international patient
Your care does not end in the operating theatre. Every surgical quote includes post-operative check-ups, so your recovery is monitored closely — and always in English.
You will receive clear aftercare instructions, and our team remains available between appointments to resolve any doubts. One local tip: the Costa del Sol sunshine is wonderful, but scars should be protected from the sun during the first months — we will guide you on sun care, compression garments and when you can get back to the beach, sport and your normal routine.
