As the years have passed too quickly, my face has begun

August 5, 2010 by Dr. Schoenfeld

Question:
As the years have passed too quickly, my face has begun to form fine lines and I am starting to look like a grandmother. Is it better to have a chemical peel or Botox injections to remove the wrinkles creeping onto my face?

Answer:
As the years pass we all start to look like our grandparents. Your concerns are common ones. The changes you will likely see to your face will be too much skin, changes to the quality of your skin, and deflation of your face from loss of fat. Since your concerns deal with fine lines I would suggest procedures that will address the quality of your skin such as chemical peels, lasers, and microdermabrasion. Issues with sagging skin are better addressed with surgical excision of excess skin or possibly the use of dermal fillers or autologous fat to deal with the deflation of your face. Botox is an excellent choice to help with some facial lines, but, it will not be enough to adequately address the areas of your face you are concerned with.

  • I met SEVERAL renowned plastic surgeons across multiples states before choosing the right one to perform my surgeries. After the first few minutes with Dr. Schoenfeld, it became very apparent to me that he was the person I'd entrust with my operations. He is the consummate approach, level of expertise, and experience provided me a tremendous amount of comfort, I knew that my expectations would surely be met. As it turns out, I not only made the right choice, but Dr. Schoenfeld was able to surpass my expectations, everything turned as he said it would and even better than I had hoped, Dr.…

  • I went to Dr. Schoendfeld to have a Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty and I couldn't be happier. He called to check up on me multiple times after my surgery to make sure I was doing good and I love the appearance of my new nose. He was able to make it fit my face and make it look as natural as possible while still fixing everything I wanted to be corrected, I am also able to sleep so much better at night since I can breathe out of my nose with ease.

  • Dr Schoenfeld is a fantastic doctor. He is respectful and makes an effort to get to know his patients. He is experienced and quite good at what he does. I had seen him for several years for Botox and fillers and was always happy with the results—very natural and never overdone. I had some jowls and neck rings developing, and these were beyond anything that injectables or good skin care could fix. I knew I could trust Dr. Schoenfeld to fix these problems and to deliver an aesthetically pleasing and natural looking result.

    I am a busy person with a career and many other obligations, and I…
