Did you catch Dr. Walden’s commentary in the NY Daily News about instant anti-aging beauty tape that still keeps bags and droops at bay? Be sure to check it out at www.NYDailyNews.com!

Check out this article below where Dr. Jennifer Walden is asked for her expert opinion about the new one stitch facelift on NY Daily News!

Is the so-called “one-stitch face-lift” really a fast pass to a youthful appearance?

The wrinkle-free results may not be as long-lasting as with a traditional operation, but the minimally invasive procedure is a hot ticket right now in cosmetic surgery.

Two reasons. It’s quicker and cheaper than a traditional face-lift, which requires more inpatient care time.

“There’s a strong trend right now to perform less invasive procedures for facial rejuvenation,” Dr. Jennifer Walden, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Lenox Hill Hospital told the Daily News. “People want instant results and minimal down time, so there is a demand for these procedures. No one can take two or three weeks off from work to recover.”

The “instant” face-lift consists of four stages, Walden explained: the insertion of the barbed thread, then the deployment of the suture material, followed by the anchoring of the soft tissues and then the fixation into place.

There’s one superlong, supersneaky suture. And yes, the needle is big.

Angelica Kavouni, 47, told the Daily Mail that she was unhappy with her “increasingly jowly” appearance. She decided to give the “one-stitch face-lift” — also called a thread lift or an iGuide — a try with plastic surgeon.

Hardy experienced minimal side-effects from the 40-minute procedure and said that with makeup, she could return to work that day.

So can one stitch hold up, or hold back all those years?

Not exactly, according to Angelo Cuzalina, president-elect of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery.

The face, he notes, “has a lot of ligaments and tissues that tend to pull back down, so it’s not like a single suture could ever hold up a face or a portion of the face.”

But the technique is getting better and better all the time, Walden says. “Our methods are getting better so they will last longer.”

In the meantime, Hardy told the Mail that if she didn’t like her “new” face, the surgeon had said that the face-lift was reversible. Basically, it was a matter of pulling out the suture.

Natural results, wonderful doctor and staff!

After considering surgery for five years, I began a tedious search of surgeons, pictures etc. It is a very competitive market out there and many doctors have great advertising tactics to pull a client in. I turned away from such a doctor and was going to give up on surgery until I found Dr. Walden. I found her through google and immediately after reading some reviews and seeing the amazing pictures (I was looking for very natural results) I had a warm, assuring feeling about her. I scheduled an appointment and never once regretted my decision. Dr. Walden has an uncanny ability to re-create a natural breast that nature did not give you. I was barely an A with a tiny frame and was afraid that my breasts will look like fake, plastic baloons. I was also afraid that I will be ridden with pain. I was able to walk around the next day after surgery. Furthermore, Dr. Walden’s staff will make you feel like you are part of the family. Dr. Walden even understood my financial needs and scheduled the appointment on a discount day. The surgery took place in the hospital which made me feel very safe. Dr. Walden was prompt, organized and remembered all of my prior concerns.The lines of patient/doctor were blurred and I felt like she was more of a friend and source of support. Even after the surgery I was given her private contact which I used MANY times. I remember calling Dr. Walden really late at night after a little accident and she was concerned and reassuring. Never once did I feel rushed off the phone. All of my questions were answered, and her previous clients were extremely happy with the results when I called for questions. Furthermore, when I had a problem with a bill from the hospital which I spent tedious hours on the phone trying to resolve was taken care of Dr. Walden’s main RN, who was as sweet, gentle and down to earth as everyone who works there. My overall experience was positive and my results are natural. Highly recommended!

Above and beyond my expectations!

I live in the DC area and saw Dr. Walden for breast augmentation based on the recommendation of a good friend. She and her staff made everything so easy and comfortable from day 1. She and her nurse were so flexible and accommodating with my out of town status. They answered millions of questions via email and phone, so much so that I hardly had any left by the time I saw her for my consultation! The office was cozy and warm; the staff made me feel so welcome. I am very modest and shy, but everyone was so professional during all of my office visits that I felt totally at ease. Aside from being an extremely talented surgeon, Dr. Walden has an amazing ability to really listen to her patients. I am small-framed and was a AA cup prior to surgery. I wanted natural-looking breasts that were a suitable size for my frame. She had implants available for me to see, touch, and “try on” for size, which really helped to get an idea of what my results might look like. Dr. Walden answered my questions and help guide me through all of the many options without pressuring me. By the time I had decided to go forward with surgery I trusted her so much that I gave her the freedom to put in the size that she felt would give me the best results based on my desires. Scheduling surgery was a breeze; her nurse Sarah was so helpful with all of the pre-op paperwork and arrangements. Dr. Walden really put me at ease on surgery day and both she and her nurse were so attentive post-operatively, answering all my questions and making me feel like I was their one-and-only patient. All of my follow-up visits have been just as pleasant as my pre-ops. Everyone is so sweet that I look forward to seeing them each time I go in. I couldn’t be happier with my results; they are above and beyond my expectations. My breasts are soft and perky and look very natural. Most people don’t even realize they aren’t my own! I only wish I had seen Dr. Walden sooner!

* Pros: all female staff, attentive and non-pressuring, readily available
* Cons: can’t think of any!

To all the women in search of the “RIGHT” Plastic Surgeon…

It was within 5 minutes of meeting Dr. Walden and Nurse Sarah that I knew I was in the right place and felt an immediate connection.

Dr. Walden’s compassion and concerns were truly special. Her ability to listen to my needs and understand what I was looking for was indescribable. Her staff coordinator Sarah was simply amazing. Her kindness and sureness was extremely soothing and heartwarming. Tracy was always welcoming, kind spirited and bubbly.

As for the medical facility at Lenox Hill Hospital where the surgery was performed, it was beyond my expectations, clean and very professional.

With all of that said, and to ALL the women reading this…LOOK NO FURTHER!!! I feel amazing and am extremely happy with “OUR” result.

I would highly recommend Dr. Jennifer Walden and her staff without any reservations.

Forever grateful————AnnaMaria
