NECK LIFT In GLENDALE

Experience a more youthful and defined neck with a neck lift. This surgical procedure effectively combats visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline, by eliminating excess skin, fat, and muscle tissue. Dr. Ardesh specializes in four types of neck lift surgeries, tailored to individual needs. During consultations, Dr. Ardesh and the patient discuss the most suitable option.

Choose the Under-Chin Neck LiftTM for the removal of superficial fat under the skin, deep fat beneath the neck muscle, and tightening of the neck musculature. This procedure involves a small 3 cm incision under the chin.

Opt for the Extended Neck Lift for additional incisions around the ear and hairline, enabling comprehensive tightening of the neck muscles and removal of excess skin.

For a transformative result, the Ardesh RefreshTM combines the benefits of a deep-plane facelift with the Extended Neck Lift. Achieve a rejuvenated appearance and a beautifully contoured neck with this advanced technique.

Ideal candidates for a neck lift are individuals with sagging skin, excess fat, or loose muscle bands in the neck area. It is important for candidates to be in good overall health, maintain realistic expectations, and either be non-smokers or willing to quit smoking before and during the recovery period.

Dr. Ardesh performs a personalized neck lift procedure that involves making incisions around the ears and under the chin. This procedure includes removing excess muscle, tightening the neck muscles, and trimming loose skin. The result is a smoother and more youthful appearance.

A neck lift usually lasts 2-3 hours, depending on the complexity and whether it is done with other facial procedures.

Dr. Ardesh's patients commonly opt for a neck lift under minimal sedation and local anesthesia. Unlike general anesthesia, this type of anesthesia does not necessitate a breathing tube or an IV. Both Dr. Ardesh and his patients prefer this approach because it enables a quicker and simpler recovery process. After the procedure, patients are able to walk on their own without the assistance of a stretcher or wheelchair. Furthermore, patients seldom retain any memories of the procedure.

Recovering from a neck lift? Here's what to expect: temporary swelling and bruising that usually goes away within 1-2 weeks. You may experience mild pain and discomfort, but don't worry, we've got you covered with prescribed pain medication. Plan on returning to work after 2 weeks, but take it easy and avoid intense physical activity for 4-6 weeks.

Reduce risks and ensure a successful neck lift by choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon. While any surgery carries potential dangers, such as infection, hematoma, nerve injury, scarring, and anesthesia complications, opting for an experienced professional can greatly minimize these risks.

Maintain a youthful neck lift for years to come. Despite ongoing aging, various factors like genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices can influence the lasting effects. Ensure a prolonged outcome by embracing a healthy lifestyle and safeguarding your skin from sun damage.

The price of a neck lift varies based on the surgeon's fees, facility fees, and where you are located. Keep in mind, a neck lift is a cosmetic procedure.
