Since Im not even 50, I dont feel like I need a facelift yet

October 31, 2010 by Dr. Schoenfeld

Question:
Since Im not even 50, I dont feel like I need a facelift yet but I do have a lot of troublesome shallow wrinkles on my face that I dislike. Ive been considering laser skin resurfacing, but Id like to make sure that it would suit my needs better than a facelift. Does a laser peel produce the same effects as a facelift, only not as drastic?

Answer:
Subjecting yourself to a facelift may seem like a fairly aggressive approach to facial aging, however in the right situation, nothing delivers results quite like a facelift. When I discuss approaches to facial rejuvenation with patients I emphasize the different elements of the facial skin that contribute to signs of aging. One is skin quality, one is skin quantity, and the last is facial volume. In terms of the decision between laser skin resurfacing and facelift surgery, if you have a significant amount of skin excess, I believe a facelift may be necessary to give you the desired results. If you have poor skin quality, and medium wrinkling of the skin would certainly fall into this category, then laser skin resurfacing may be of significant benefit to you.

Dr. Schoenfeld fixed my broken nose last St. Patty's Day and I couldn't be happier with the results. I fell on my nose multiple times as a kid and officially broke it 3 years ago, so let's just say my nose was pretty messed up and useless. I finally decided it was time to get it fixed at the beginning of 2017. Dr. Schoenfeld has a great bedside manner, is honest about expectations, and exudes a confidence that immediately made me trust him as a surgeon. The surgical team at River Road Surgery Center was also excellent. They answered all of my questions, made me feel at ease, and pumped me…

5 stars

Thanks again for the most excellent work you did on my nose -- I am just thrilled (yet still recovering.) It has made a world of difference to my breathing and I couldn't be happier with the work you did! I've almost got my smile back. Best wishes -- and thanks so much again to you (and Dawn, too). Sincerely,

5 stars

Thank you so much for not only beautifully repairing my nose, but for rearranging your schedule and going out of your way to help me in my time of need. Your friendly and distinctive assistance is appreciated more than you know. Thank you,
