Dr Des Fernandes

I am a plastic surgeon with a special interest in the maintenance of youthful appearance. This means that we need young skin as well as a youthful appearance. That is why I have focussed on cosmetic surgery as well as reconstructive surgery of the head and neck.

In cosmetic surgery I have sought to restore a youthful appearance with as few scars as possible and I have developed a technique of the virtually scar-less facelift. I developed the Environ range of skin care products in order to pursue youthful skin.

Procedures

Scarless Brow lift:
Since 1994 I have done this operation to lift the brows and avoid the potentially obvious scars of the standard forehead lift.
Virtually scarless Face-lift:
This operation is for the younger person who does not yet merit having the standard face-lift procedure, but would still like to appear younger.
Virtually scarless neck lift:
For the person who only wants to correct their neck without going as far as having a facelift.
Skin needling as an alternative to laser:
This is a new exciting technique to smoothen skin without the problems encountered with laser resurfacing. Can be used for the face, Neck, abdomen, arms etc.
Correction of Facial Palsy:
A simpler way to support the paralysed facial muscles without resorting to complex operations.
