Can using a facelift belt make the face slimmer and more V-shaped?

Question

This product claims that can make face slimmer and make the v-shape on the face which many Asians really, really love it, my question, is it true that face can reduce by simply using this product religiously? Like pull the skin up everyday

If it sounds too good to be true then it is too good to be true probably applies to this product as well.

Thank you for a great question and sharing photos.  While compressive garments can help when you are healing from a facelift, they will not change your facial shape.  It is likely harmless, but it will also not be very helpful."This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.

Please save your money and do not be fooled by the promise of something too good to be true.  If this actually worked, many plastic surgeons would be out of work!

Hello,Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, pulling the facial skin in any direction cannot tighten or lift it. I recommend that you keep tissues healthy and strong through good lifestyle choices and if you wish to discuss surgical face lift options, book a consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon.All the best

There are no over the counter devices that create any improvement in appearance of facial aging.  They are gimmicks that come and go.

The device in the picture is a gimmick. I would waste your money on it. Take care of your health and avoid smoking as well as sun exposure. This is the best way to retard aging of the face.

There are many products in the market that claims to change the the face as surgery or cosmetic procedures would do.  If those products really would work, surgeons would be out of business.Patients and consumers should be aware that may products out there, specially those promoted in countries outside the US could be an scam due to of lack of regulations.

Unfortunately it is unreasonable to expect anything but a headache from such a devise.  Dave your money and avoid it.Best regards Nagi T Ayoub MD, FACS

Reza Momeni, MD, FACS · Answer

unfortunately, in plastic surgery, just like normal life, anything that seems too good to be true is simply not true.

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

Unfortunately this product is just a marketing ploy and will not give you anything comparable to facelift results. I would save your money for treatments that work.
