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 am quite active physically. My main concern was about down time. Dr Schoenfeld understood this, and discussed the procedure with me in detail. He was careful to set my expectations about recovery realistically. I did need to plan (this is surgery and there are incisions to care for!), but I found the whole process quite manageable and completely within the detailed guidelines he provided beforehand. My complexion is extremely fair and every little mark shows. Even so, with a little concealer and a scarf to cover some bruises on my neck, I was able to return to the office 2 weeks after the surgery. At 3 weeks post surgery, I no longer needed the makeup or scarf and I was able to begin a gradual return to my athletic routine.
More importantly, I am so happy with how I look! It is wonderful to look in the mirror and see a nice tight jawline rather than jowls forming. This was a very nice thing to do for myself and I am glad I did not postpone it until life seemed less hectic.
