Dr. Des Fernandes, South Africa
Dr. Des Fernandes graduated from the Witwatersrand University in South Africa before becoming a fellow at the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh. He trained in cardio-thoracic surgery and was part of Christiaan Barnard’s team that performed the first double heart transplant in the world. He then shifted to plastic surgery under the tutelage of Dr. David Davies. Fernandes pioneered a facelift technique called Suture Suspension that minimized scarring and restored dropped tissues to its original place.
