A lot of people coming to us asking about face-lifts and what's the best alternative to a face-lift, and we try to be very honest with patients. A lot of people we see are great candidates for a face-lift and they may not have the time for recovery or they may not have the financial resources to undergo the surgery. Those are people, we say, either do something non-invasive or wait and do the real thing. The reason being is this is your face for God's sake, and you really don't want to minimize the importance of having appropriate treatment for your face. We have a lot of people that their aging process has really become important to them and they want to have the best result, so the best alternative for a face-lift is probably some variation of face-lift.

If you're not a candidate and don't want to do noninvasive treatments, you feel that you're tired of doing those, and if you can't afford or feel that a face-lift really isn't right for you at this point, you don't like that word, we've devised something called a Gen X lift here in Scottsdale, Arizona. A Gen X lift is specifically exactly what it sounds like. It's a lift for the generation X people. Gen X people are anywhere between 33 and 53, and these are people that have the signs of aging with skin changes, volume loss, and cheek and jowl formation with or without neck laxity. These are a lot of the people that we see that are face-lift candidates or may not need a full face-lift per say. The beauty of a Gen X lift is that it's a variated procedure and basically what we can do is give you options based upon what you're looking for. Those patients that don't have much facial aging along the jowl and neck region, generally we can get by with doing some laser resurfacing like a four day laser peel along with some fat transfer.

As the neck starts to be more prominent in terms of aging, we can add things to it, either some noninvasive treatments to neck area like Ulthera, or do something like some liposuction or something to stimulate neck tightening. Finally, as people get more pronounced aging, we can do the formal Gen X lift which is actually a short scar face-lift along with some fat transfer and some laser resurfacing. The beauty is that these all can be done in the office under local anesthesia. We have people that have done many of these and they love them. We think it's a wonderful alternative if you feel that emotionally you're not ready for a face-lift. You don't like the word yet. You find that financially. When we do a full face, eyes, and brow with some fat transfer that tends to be expensive, and we think that the Gen X lift is more competitively priced for you to make you feel like you're not breaking the bank but you're not shortchanging yourself in terms of the result.

We do not tell people to do a Gen X lift when we think that they would really benefit from a full face-lift. We think the Gen X lift is for those people that are in that window that have mild to moderate age related changes in their face and they want to look better. The best way to understand the alternatives to a face-lift is understand what's available, either noninvasive or more invasive techniques, and when you're talking about the invasive techniques, don't shortchange yourself. You've seen many, many advertisements for things like a lifestyle lift. They went out of business, the reason being is that was a procedure that was meant for everybody. The Gen X lift is tailored to each patient where we specifically devise a plan that will benefit you in a specific manner to give you the best result possible with the least amount of downtime and to make it so it's much more reasonable financially.
