Neck Lift In Burbank

Experience a more youthful and refined appearance with a neck lift. This surgical procedure effectively addresses signs of aging in the neck and jawline, including excess skin, fat, and muscle tissue. Dr. Ardesh offers four specialized neck lift surgeries, each tailored to meet individual needs. During consultations, Dr. Ardesh and the patient discuss the most suitable approach.

The Under-Chin Neck LiftTM targets superficial and deep fat beneath the skin, as well as tightens the neck musculature. This transformative surgery involves a 3 cm incision under the chin.

For comprehensive rejuvenation, the Extended Neck Lift combines the benefits of the Under-Chin Neck LiftTM with additional incisions around the ear and hairline. This allows for further tightening of the neck muscles and removal of excess skin.

For remarkable results, the Ardesh RefreshTM combines a deep-plane facelift with the Extended Neck Lift. This combination procedure delivers comprehensive facial rejuvenation and neck enhancement.

Neck lift candidates sought: Those with sagging skin, excess fat, or loose muscle bands in the neck area. Must be in good health, have realistic expectations, and either be non-smokers or be willing to quit smoking during recovery.

Dr. Ardesh performs a personalized neck lift procedure to enhance your appearance. He makes incisions around the ears and under the chin, removing excess muscle and tightening the muscles of the neck. Additionally, any loose skin is trimmed for a smoother and more youthful look.

A neck lift usually lasts 2-3 hours. The length of time can vary depending on the specific procedure and if it is done alongside other facial procedures like a facelift.

Dr. Ardesh's patients usually opt for a neck lift under minimal sedation and local anesthesia. Unlike general anesthesia, this anesthesia method doesn't need a breathing tube or IV. The reason why both Dr. Ardesh and his patients prefer minimal sedation and local anesthesia is because it leads to a quicker and easier recovery. After the procedure, Dr. Ardesh's patients can walk on their own without assistance, without the need for a stretcher or wheelchair. Patients rarely recall any part of the procedure.

After a neck lift, patients may experience temporary swelling and bruising that usually goes away within 1-2 weeks. Pain and discomfort are generally minimal and can be alleviated with prescribed pain medication. While most patients can go back to work after 2 weeks, it is advisable to avoid strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks.

Neck lift surgery comes with risks like infection, hematoma, nerve injury, scarring, and anesthesia complications. Minimize these risks by choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon.

The effects of a neck lift can endure for many years. However, aging persists and various factors like genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices can influence how long the results last. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and safeguarding your skin from sun damage, you can extend the duration of the outcome.

The price of a neck lift can differ based on the surgeon's charges, facility fees, and where you are located. It's essential to understand that a neck lift is classified as a cosmetic procedure.
