"Such a professional beauty clinic in the center of Barcelona. My doctor is an actual doctor ! And a specialist in cosmetology that truly lives for customising a program for her patients. The staff offers great service despite the luxury vibe , the staff is so down to earth, sweet and real! The equipment is new and the studios are breathing high standard of technology and hygiene. But in the end results is what matters , and I am so happy about my progress, my skin is glowing and my stains and scars are almost if not entirely gone! Highly recommend doctor Irene and Instituto Benito."

"I live in France had a lower face and neck lift. Having researched carefully I chose Dr Neagu and I am thrilled with my results. I am 67 and had a facelift in America 8 years ago but wrinkles and loose skin on neck had bothered me for the last year or so. I have very prominent salivary glands and that was not addressed during my first surgery but Dr Neagu repositioned them. I had very little bruising this time - which amazed me. All of the staff were very helpful and professional. I will add a few photos of before and after. The first is 6hrs after surgery. The second the day after and the third after 10 days. I am 3 weeks out now and swelling has reduced a lot. I cannot recommend the Instituto de Benito highly enough."

"I had a deep plane facelift with upper and lower blepharoplasty by Dr. David Neagu, and I couldn’t be happier. The results are incredibly natural—I look refreshed and like myself, just better. Dr. Neagu and his entire team were kind, caring, and highly skilled from start to finish. I felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking natural, beautiful results."
