PHOENIX PLASTIC SURGEON AND PHOENIX FACELIFT SURGEON, STEVEN GITT, MD, FACS DISHES THE SCOOP ON TRENDY FACELIFT SURGERY

Our Scottsdale facelift, Gilbert Facelift, and Phoenix Facelift patients present asking about the Lifestyle Lift? Stem Cell Facelift, Beverly Hills Facelift, and the Scottsdale facelift procedures. This groundswell of interest in Fad facelifts is a result of the sophisticated marketing efforts of those surgeons who promote these neuveau facelift operations. Well trained Phoenix Plastic Surgeons, such as the four on staff here at North Valley Plastic Surgery, will always recommend the best combination of procedures for their patient, regardless of bias, trends, or their own economic interests. Rather than have our patients ask for a particular procedure, we would like to hear about what specific signs of aging concern each one of our patients. This approach allows us to draw upon our expertise and choose the specific procedure, or procedures, that will most effectively and precisely address each and every patient concerns. Quite simply, when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail! Our individualized and customized approach to your facial aging concerns will result in the best possible outcome that will address your concerns precisely and appropriately.

The Lifestyle Lift?procedure is marketed as a 1-2 hour operation done with the patient awake under purely local anesthesia. The operation itself uses a limited dissection coupled with placement of large braided sutures into the facial muscle layer (the SMAS) to tighten the cheeks. The neck skin and fat are not addressed unless you pay extra money! The Lifestyle Lift?was designed by a Troy, Michigan Otolaryngologist (ENT) who, as far as we know, has not completed a residency training program in Plastic Surgery! The numerous ranchisees?scattered about the country include other ENT and surgeons of all specialties. The Lifestyle Lift?company was fined by the New York State Attorney General for having their staff make false internet postings posing as satisfied patients! We believe that the Lifestyle Lift?is a very poor choice for anybody who wants to have an artfully done, elegant, and beautiful facial rejuvenation procedure. Again, hen all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail! The Stem Cell Facelift has been marketed by certain surgeons as a unique and special new operation when all it really appears to be is a face lift coupled with autologous fat transfer. Harvesting fat from another body region and grafting it into the face to correct volume deficiencies is an accepted technique that all of our Phoenix Plastic Surgeons and Scottsdale Plastic Surgeons here are fully trained and well experienced in. Yes, there are stem cells in fat! That is an accepted fact. But, is re-naming a standard procedure as something new, unique, and special really helpful? Is that sort of reinterpretation really in your best interests? Or is it just another marketing strategy designed to drum up business?

The Beverly Hills Facelift, and the Scottsdale facelift procedures have also been marketed over the years and they are also just permeations of the standard facelift procedures.

Yes, we do perform the Stem Cell Facelift here at North Valley Plastic Surgery! But, we only offer this operation to the appropriate candidates. We customize our approach to each and every patient so that we achieve the best possible outcome and precisely address your concerns. By choosing to have your Scottsdale facelift, Gilbert Facelift, or Phoenix Facelift with one of our formally trained Plastic Surgeons here at North Valley Plastic Surgery, you will ensure that your surgeon is properly trained and quite well experienced in facial rejuvenation surgery. All four of our Plastic Surgeons are trained in both General surgery and Plastic Surgery and will address your concerns in a customized manner. We will explain all of your options in an understandable way and, thereby, allow you to make an educated and informed decision. We feel that our patient first opportunity to choose the best surgeon, the best operation(s), and the best time to have their surgery are the most important choices.
