I have recently read about something called “facelift tape”

June 9, 2011 by Dr. Schoenfeld

Question:
I have recently read about something called “facelift tape” that will temporarily give you the appearance of having a facelift. Would this product be a viable option for a 65-year-old woman with minimal wrinkles who is afraid of surgery?

Answer:
I was recently told about “facelift tape”. Taping your face would give your face a partial appearance of a facelift but, this is likely pretty uncomfortable and exceptionally synthetic appearing. At 65 years of age, there is likely not going to be a substitute for a face lift if you are looking to improve your appearance to the same degree that you can expect with a facelift. I have several patients who are also afraid of surgery. Undergoing anesthesia and having surgery performed on your face can be quite anxiety provoking. I find that good education and setting realistic expectations and parameters about the facelift procedure really puts my patients at ease. You should find a reputable surgeon who will spend time with you and I am sure you will feel less trepidation about the facelift procedure and surgery in general.

  • 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,…
