The delicate region of the eyelid contains the thinnest skin in the body which only the most competent hands should treat. Dr Estrella Fernández, former Vice President of the Spanish Society of Ocular and Orbital Plastic Surgery, is as competent as they get. Due to her commitments to patients in the Balearic Islands and Barcelona’s top hospitals, this meticulous doctor has little time to spare. When we met her, however, she transmitted the confidence of someone who thrives on a challenge and the energy of someone passionate about their mission. And what is her mission? To repair damage, reverse the ageing process and return natural beauty to the faces of every patient who walks into her practice. “She is the only doctor who dared to do it,” said one patient, about one of the many complex cases she has taken on.
The doctor who dares
Dr Estrella Fernández can afford to be daring because she has the knowledge and experience to back her up. During her long career in this specialist field, she has seen many disheartened men and women who have been close to giving up hope. “After 25 years with a scar that prevented me from opening my eyes, she was able to remove the deformity and give me back my life,” a patient explained, “I will never be able to thank her enough.” Her steady and confident hands have treated patients who have had multiple failed surgeries and others who have been left with an unnatural look. She is so determined to restore natural youth and beauty to those suffering faces that she often asks patients for photos from their younger days to study. “My aim has always been on recovering the original look and its beauty and avoiding artificial results.” By repairing muscles and tissues, she goes well beyond the aesthetic, making patients not only look younger but feel younger.
Reversing the age process
Always on the forefront, Dr Estrella Fernández is excited about the success of bio regeneration in the field of aesthetic medicine. “I have been working with stem cells to recover tissues for more than 15 years and the results are spectacular.” Additionally, she has been implementing cutting-edge techniques and apparatus which will help her patients reverse the chrono- and photoaging process, controlling the results with sonography. While it may sound like this excellent doctor is only dedicated to complicated cases, the truth is she appreciates that even slightly sagging eyelids and eyebags, can impact our mood and sense of self. Many treatments don’t even require surgery and she welcomes everyone. While her achievements and reputations are worthy of great pride, there is a humility to Dr Estrella Fernández which allows her to keep growing. “If you think you know everything you can’t learn anything new,” she once told us. This mentality is what keeps her among the top ocular surgeons in Spain – and Mallorca is lucky to have such a talent in its midst.
