I am 67 and have a pacemaker. Any suggestions? (photos)

Unfortunately I am not aware of any reliable home treatment devices for the issue you are asking about, though certainly many products make those claims.  Best wishes, Dr. Donath 

I can understand your concern about plastic surgery given that you have a pacemaker. However I can tell you there are no "home tools" that can tighten your face. Instead, there are terrific surgical and NON-surgical methods of giving you a more youthful look, with lower risks. You just need to find a qualified, experienced facial specialist who can get to know your anatomy and provide treatment recommendations. Surgical procedures under only local anesthesia is a safe approach used by many surgeons. Seek one out in your area that uses local anesthesia exclusively. Given your medical history, this would be your safest method of looking younger. I'd still refer you to your primary care doctor or cardiologist to clear you. I wish you the best!

Tess1948 Go Purdue! Thank you for your picture and question.  A consultation is best to determine your best course of action.  That said, save your money, at home machines will not give you the results that you desire. With a pacemaker you are best to see a cosmetic surgeon.  Start slow, with some good skin care.  Get to know the doctor and together put together an anti aging program that suits you best.

I am afraid that the old adage, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" will be very accurate for this type of treatment.  While good skin care is always a great idea, it will not offer any significant reversal of facial aging changes.

Thank you for your question and for sharing your concerns with us. Home remedies are going to be fraught with dissappointment as they usually over promise and under deliver.   I would recommend visiting a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your options in more detail.

I'm aware of nothing that can aid in facial rejuvenation they can be used at home. A pacemaker is not necessarily a contraindication to surgery but certainly is a major consideration.

If it sounds like it'll give you a facelift for $14.95 and the informercial is late at night, save your money for a nice salad at your favorite restaurant and don't pin your hopes on ridiculous offerings.  Having a pacemaker alone is not a contraindication to surgery or real treatments that are actually effective.

Unfortunately there are no home tools that can give you facelift results. There are a number on the market but these are marketing ploys that will not deliver any results. If you are interested in non-surgical facelift options I would recommend that you schedule a consult with a plastic surgeon to discuss what can work for you. #facelift and #facialrejuvenationthere are three areas that we look at to address the aging face: skin surfacevolumelaxity of skin an muscle

Unfortunately, once you start having excess skin ( jowls, cheeks, neck areas) - the only way to tighten it is by undergoing a surgery- facelift/neck lift. Any other home devices that claim they can do miracles - are a waste of money and time. 

I have never seen a home device give any type of result.  They make outlandish claims that do not give any results. Save your time and money and forget about that route.Best Regards,Dr Michael Gartner
