Three months ago, I underwent a deep plane cervicofacial facelift with Dr. Alfredo Fernández Blanco, and today I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Not only because of the visible results, which exceeded my expectations, but because of the entire experience: from the trust I felt during the first consultation to the post-op care, which was both professional and incredibly compassionate.
What attracted me the most was Dr. Alfredo’s exclusive 3R technique (Rapid Recovery Rejuvenation) using the deep plane approach. I had researched traditional facelifts extensively, but I was looking for something that would rejuvenate my face naturally, without altering my expression, and with a quicker recovery. That is exactly what I experienced.
During the same procedure, we also performed a neck lift and a brow lift. The goal was to restore harmony and youthful balance to my facial features, and the result went beyond anything I had imagined.
The surgery took around four hours and was performed under general anesthesia. I remember waking up calmly, with zero pain, just a gentle warmth in my face. The medical team took exceptional care of me during the first 24 hours, with clear post-operative instructions and constant follow-up. The bandage was removed that same afternoon, and from that moment, I could already see how precise and meticulous the work had been. I walked out of the clinic as if I hadn’t just had a major surgery.
Before the procedure, I had a pre-surgical Indiba session to prepare the skin, followed by additional sessions in the days after surgery. These treatments were essential for skin recovery. It’s not just the surgical technique that makes a difference, it’s the holistic approach offered by Dr. Alfredo and his team.
In less than a week, I was already functional. I was going out with tinted sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat to protect my face from the sun. I strictly followed every instruction, especially avoiding direct sunlight, but I didn’t need to stay home or suffer through the recovery process. I was genuinely amazed at how fast my body responded.
The stitches were removed after one week, and even then, the facial contour was already more defined, my neck tighter, and my cheekbones lifted back into a youthful position. I had minimal tightness and no artificial look whatsoever, something many people fear when considering aesthetic surgery.
By day 10. My friends were saying it looked like I had taken 10 years off my face in just over a week. I looked fresh, rested, and natural. That’s the real magic of this technique: it gives you back your youth without erasing your identity.
By the end of the first month, the swelling had nearly disappeared. My face had found its new balance. The scars were almost invisible, and my skincare routine helped maintain a glowing, firm appearance. I was starting to fully appreciate the harmony and subtle beauty of the results.
Today, three months later, I look in the mirror and feel proud. My jawline is sharp, my neck is firm, my cheeks are lifted, and best of all, nobody suspects I had surgery. They just say, “You look amazing. What have you done?” And I smile.
I recommend Dr. Alfredo Fernández Blanco wholeheartedly to anyone considering facial plastic surgery. His work is not only technical, it’s also artistic and profoundly human. You can tell he loves what he does and has spent decades mastering it. I truly believe he is one of the top facial plastic surgeons in Europe.
The 3R Deep Plane Facelift, combined with a neck lift and brow lift, is a life-changing option for those who want natural results, long-term rejuvenation, and a quick recovery. If you’re considering a facelift, trust me, this is the place.
For me, this wasn’t just cosmetic surgery.
It was a gift, one of the best I’ve ever given myself.
