I have been a patient for 6 years. I started with botox and fillers and recently had a lower face lift. I am so thrilled with the results. Dr. Hernandez is an excellent physician, I trust her completely.
April 19, 2019 Dear Dr. Hernandez, How can we thank you for your amazing skills as a plastic surgeon? My twin sister and I have been in your care for almost 15 years and you Dr. Hernandez, over the years, have kept us looking our very best. Our recent surgery and laser procedure this year left us both with remarkable results and with each month that passes, the results get even better. Dr. Hernandez you truly have an artistic eye and understand how to improve a patient’s appearance in the most natural way possible! (We were identical twins before the surgery and still are identical twins after surgery.) Both of our results were equally excellent! Surgery is a serious undertaking, but we both felt very secure that everything was under control before and after our procedures because of your detailed and well thought out instructions. Additionally, we highly doubt that other plastic surgeons personally spend the time with their patients that you do for so many weeks after surgery. You take a sincere interest in each and every patient and that’s why we will continue using your services as long as you are in practice. Dr. Hernandez thank you again for perfecting your skills as a plastic surgeon and for providing so many people with the opportunity to be the best that they can be; more importantly, thanks for being a lovely person with a wonderful heart filled with compassion and a true desire to help people. You have enhanced our lives over the years with not only your wonderful skills but also with your caring heart. Fondly, Your patients Maria & Michele
At 50 I found myself looking into the mirror and no longer recognizing myself. In addition to the acne scars of years passed, my once heart-shaped face was misshapen, my chin doubled and my necked drooped. Dr. Hernandez didn't promise that I'd look younger, she only told me I would look better. I'm not going to lie, the procedure is uncomfortable for a few weeks, but the results speak for themselves! My skin is so much smoother than before and my husband thinks I look 15 years younger! I'm so glad I did this, I feel like a new woman and when I look in the mirror I do feel pretty again.
15 years ago I had a brow lift and upper bleph with beautiful results. Last year I had a lateral brow lift and lower bleph. My eyes still looked tired in photos, I have hooded eyes. I had a revision with the same surgeon and my first tca peel ever at 55 yrs old. This was my 1st cosmetic procedure without general anesthesia ( by my choice). Updated on 27 Jan 2018: Most of sutures removed day 2. Itching on the outside of lids soothed by gel packs, but otherwise feeling good. Took one pain med the day of and nothing since.

I am so grateful that I was referred to Dr. Hernandez when I was fifty years old for my facelift procedure, she is a most caring, gifted surgeon with an artist’s eye for creating a very natural and satisfying result, her skilled touch is the best in the land. I am now 67 years old and still working in a high profile, executive business position and I attribute much of my longevity and success in the business world to the care of Dr. Hernandez. Dr. Hernandez has a vast knowledge of the latest procedures, both minor and major, as well as the most up to date fillers, Botox, and all other anti-aging products which have contributed to my confidence and sense of well-being all of these years – thank you, Dr. Hernandez, let’s keep going!
Dr. Hernandez is a beautiful person, inside and out. She really takes the time to know you, and your concerns. All this time I thought I wanted to age gracefully, but that didn't work out ;). The lines around my lips were very noticeable and really aged me. I researched, and I am so glad I found Dr. Hernandez. My lip lines are like they were never there, very natural looking. I was so pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Hernandez, she is so gifted. I must not forget her staff (Melanie) is so kind...makes you feel so welcome.
For the past several years I have been contemplating having a facelift but I was not sure the results would live up to my expectations. All I can say is "what took me so long". Dr Hernandez is extraordinary. Saying I am pleased with the results is such an understatement. Not only is she a gifted surgeon, but she is caring and gentle. She only recommended those procedures with which I was comfortable, never pushing me to do more. The whole experience, from when I first spoke to Melanie and made the appointment,thru the operation and recovery, was very reassuring. I can't say enough about how happy I am with the results Thank you Dr. Hernandez for everything!
I have been a patient of Dr. Hernandez for over 20 years.......l now live in Naples but continue to drive to Boca as I would never trust another Dr. the way I trust her. I am now 56 years of age but continue to here comments that I look 10 years younger......ALL because of Dr. Hernanadez!!!!! Under her care you will NEVER look as if you have had anything done.....I had a facelift at 53 and was back to work in 2 weeks with absolutely no one knowing I had anything done. She is just brilliant!!!!! Every moment in the office, from the phone call to make the appointment to the fabulous Melanie who will assist you to every and all procedures I have ever had.......If 5 stars is the best.....they all deserve a 10!!!!!
From the initial consultation to now, three months post-op, I am so glad I chose Dr. Hernandez. Everything about her, including the results she gave me (which is what we all want) is just outstanding. She made me look like my better self. If you are thinking about a procedure, you owe it to yourself to get a consultation with her.
Dr. Hernandez is an amazing plastic surgeon and person. She is warm, honest and extremely competent. The office staff is wonderful, and always there when you need them. I feel so much younger, and have gotten many compliments on my procedure. I was worried about surgery in general, but had I know then what I know now, I would have not have worried at all.
S-Lifts, sometimes referred to as mini-facelifts, work well for people who have minimal to moderate relaxation in the neck. In particular they’re good for younger patients, who might want to wear their hair up. Even though the S-Lift gives you a limited incision, you can still have some of the muscle work done underneath. In your specific case, the limited incision S-Lift will still allow your surgeon to perform the muscular repositioning needed to address the area of concern. An S-Lift will provide the benefits of a traditional facelift that are most relevant to your needs, without the drawbacks of having to extend the incision behind the ear. Therefore I would say yes, you are a good candidate for a limited incision facelift, such as an S-Lift.
I imagine it must be frustrating to have lost all that weight, only for your neck to sag. This happened because the skin of your neck lost its elasticity over time. Weight fluctuation can cause a lot of problems like this. So before surgery, I would recommend achieving a stable weight. Once you’ve done so, you’ll be a good candidate for a lower facelift, which would include work on your neck. I wouldn’t recommend any non-surgical procedures to treat your area of concern. The best results will require a surgeon who can address the muscles underneath your skin to recreate the contours of your neck. Once the muscles have been suitably repositioned, the excess skin should be removed and closed with an inconspicuous incision, which will provide you with a natural-looking result.
Hair loss after a facelift isn’t particularly common, but it’s not unheard of either. If you’re worried, here are some things to keep in mind. First, if you do have some hair loss shortly after a facelift, don’t panic. Temporary hair loss can happen after all kind of surgeries, usually as a result of stress. This happens because people worry before the surgery, and the anesthesia puts stress on their body during the surgery. If you happen to have temporary hair loss, you might enhance regrowth by using Minoxidil, which can be bought over the counter. Now, looking more specifically at facelifts: a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon should have the surgical skills required to tailor the incisions so that they don’t cause hair loss.
It depends on where you are in the aging process. Only a qualified surgeon can tell you if you are a candidate for a face Lift. Face Lifts can dramatically refresh and rejuvenate the face, help restore youth, soften deep lines and eliminate relaxation of tissue especially at the jaw line and neck area.
Face Lifts can dramatically refresh and rejuvenate the face by removing excess fat, suspending layers of relaxed tissue and removing surplus of facial skin. While a Face Lift usually makes patients look younger and less tired, softer and more youthful result. Speak with a board certified Plastic surgeon specializing in facelift procedures to minimize any risk of complications.
