Alfredo Fernandez Blanco, MD

As a 56-year-old whose facial features had begun to droop with age, I decided to travel to Marbella for a facelift operation performed by the renowned Dr. Fernandez Blanco. Working in a customer-facing role in sales, I noticed that my confidence had diminished due to my appearance.

Post-surgery, I only wish I had done it sooner. All my worries about the surgery, the recovery, and other concerns were for nothing. The recovery was not only quicker than I expected, but spending my recovery period in Marbella instead of London left me feeling completely refreshed. I took full advantage of my time off work, enjoying evening and morning walks along the beach.

The constant guidance and support of the Clinic Fernandez Blanco’s team made the entire experience even better. Their professionalism, care, and attentiveness reassured me throughout the process, making everything smooth and stress-free.

I had a facelift with Dr. Fernandez 6 months ago and I had the best experience! it's very frightening the idea to have a procedure such as a facelift as I had a long time thinking if I should do it or not. My fear was to have a very stiff look or non-natural result, so when I did my research I was very pleased to see so many good reviews and before and after results for which, I also wanted to give my experience with this doctor, hoping to help anyone that is doubting to do this kind of procedure.
My initial contact with the clinic was very smooth, they were very nice, the clinic is very well located in Marbella and very elegant and clean, good atmosphere.
I had my first consultation with the doctor and he recommended me a full facelift to give me a younger look as I was very clear I wanted to have a change but not looking too "fake", I had all of my questions answered and he explained very well the procedure and what will happen in the whole process.
After a few weeks I had my procedure done and today I can say after all the swelling is mostly gone I'm very happy with what I see in the mirror.
Thank you very much to the whole team of Dr. Fernandez for helping me to gain my confidence back after so many years not feeling my best!

Dr. Alfredo Fernandez Blanco. Marbella, Spain.
THANK YOU, I found myself again.

Summer 2022. At 62 years old, I looked like 80 years. Wrinkles, sogging skin, hanging eyes. I had no self-confidence, didn’t want to go out to socialize, “hiding”. I lost interest in public activities; I retreated into my house like a cocoon. I lost me, Marianne. I didn’t want to be like that. I am a good, funny outgoing person, I have a good soul. I have an amazing husband. We live in a fantastic country.
I HAD TO DO SOMETHING.
I pulled myself together and walked over to “Clinica Fernandez Blanco” across the street. (lucky me).
I wasn’t sure what they could do for me, first of all, I hoped they speak English. They do, everyone is very friendly, is like a little family. I felt welcome from the first minute.
I was interested in the “Indiba facial treatments”.
I started with “indiba” and had amazing results done by Geovanna. She is fabulous in her profession.

I have always said I don’t want any FACIAL SURGERY. And NEVER definitely NOT FACELIFT.

HOWEVER, As I felt more comfortable at the clinic, having trust in the team, I decided to do eyelids Blepharoplasty. My eyelids were very bad, hanging and reducing my eyesight.

NOVEMBER 2022. Eyelids Blepharoplasty. I was nervous, I have a very low tolerance for pain. The surgery went very well. I didn’t feel anything. The downtime was as expected, some pain, as they always say, “its normal”, I could manage it. The scars are practically invisible. The results were truly amazing. “eye-catching” if I may say so. I felt AWAKE, looked FRESHER and HAPPIER. :)

I continued to have facial massages regularly with fantastic Geovanna. She is my little “butterfly”.
Honestly, the deep wrinkles and in my face were still there. My eyes were great, BUT I had to take the next step. I decided to talk to Dr. Fernandez about having a “weekend lift”.

Dr Fernadez Blanco is an extraordinary personality. He is so calm, so honest and straight forward to talk to. He explains his professional opinion, in a personal way, what’s best for me.
A “weekend lift” is not for me. He explained he would not be proud to do this procedure in my case. Is for recover skin tone, in “younger” people. I needed a complete facelift. I was very surprised, at first disappointed, BUT I understood Dr. Fernandez heartfelt honest opinion. He really cares for you, not just “another surgery”. So, No “weekend lift”.

I thought about the complete facelift day and night. I talked to my husband, day and night, ha, and finally decided to go for the complete facelift.

From “never to have a facelift”, to DO IT anyway. It takes guts, I was terrified.

NEVERTHELESS, I had so much trust in Dr. Fernandez and team, I was able to overcome the anxiety and go through with it.
January 2023. Complete face lift.
The surgery went very well. No complications. I woke up with a very heavy head. No pain, of course I was giving painkillers. My husband was there of course. Dr. Fernandez explained everything went well. Carolina, the manager of the clinic, Dr. Fernandez daughter, is an amazing lady. She is always there for me, throughout various procedures. Supportive and caring. She helped a lot to give me the courage to find myself again. Love her.
The downtime and recovery time felt very long for me. I had a lot of pain, especially my ears. The head compress band I had to wear 24/7 was horrible. Claustrophobia. Couldn’t eat, drink or sleep. Sitting up constantly. My husband nursed me 24/7. Ice packs, medicine, cleaning of wounds. He was incredible all the time. We were explained what to do, and we did everything correctly. The pain and discomfort are all NORMAL. But honestly, I was in a lot of pain. I think it was about 3 weeks of real down time. I don’t remember exactly timings. We have been told the procedures in detail, there are no hidden surprises from the Clinic. It is what it is. Some people are more sensitive than others. They called several times to check on me, also on weekends, and were exceptionally attentive all the time.

I couldn’t ask for any better Doctors and team.

The time went by, the pain was less, and I see the changes in my face.
I didn’t ask or expect to look 20 years younger, to being “40 again”!
I just wanted to look like me, a 60+ years woman. I DID IT. THAT’S ME. It is hard to comprehend what I have been through, before, during and after.
The scars from facelift are so perfect, you don’t see it at all.

It was incredible to see MYSELF, the Marianne I lost, is back. I go out, socialize, see friends, have a great time with my husband, he is my soul mate, best friend and greatest of all. I do not cocoon in my house anymore; a butterfly flew out.

2023/2024. Aesthetic medicine. Dr. Natalia Pshenychna. She also assisted Dr. Fernandez in my surgeries.
Continuously, I have regularly treatments with this incredible doctor. She is one of a kind. Again, some treatments are painful for me, she is doing her best to reduce pain. She knows I am overly sensitive. Most importantly, she understands my “needs”, what fits me best at the time. Not too much, not too little. She is also very honest, explaining some procedures are possible, some not, in my case. She is very professional, sweet, beautiful, a wonderful lady I am happy to know. She is doing miracles for me.. I have enormous respect for Dr. Natalia.

I am turning 65 soon. The results of all my procedures speak for themselves. Photos. I feel great, inside and out.

I cannot thank Dr. Fernandez and team enough. I 100% recommend. If I can do it, anyone can! :)

Im so happy with my decision!

Having surgery with Dr. Fernández Blanco has undoubtedly been one of the best decisions of my life.

I underwent an open rhinoplasty and a double chin liposuction at the same time and since then, I always recommend Dr. Fernández Blanco and his team.
I had a consultation where he listened to my needs, he did a simulation of how my nose would look, so i can have an idea of what to expect and answered all my questions.

I was 100% sure that I was choosing the best professional.

The postoperative period did not hurt at all and the result was so much better than I could have ever imagined.
I have continued to go to his clinic and his team for other aesthetic medicine treatments.

I am very happy with Dr. Fernandez Blanco. For me he is the best surgeon. I admit he is not the cheapest but looking back I am glad I choose him. Apart from his credentials/experience, he was very clear in his consultation, answering all my doubts with no time pressure. Couldn't have asked for a better one. The results are natural as i wanted.

My experience was fabulous, my mouth was a bit deformed by a previous implants and the doctor fixed it and left me beautiful one, and I got rid off my complex. The doctor was very professional at all times, explaining all the steps clearly.
