Neck Lift In Palos Verdes

Enhance your appearance with a neck lift, a surgical procedure that combats visible signs of aging in the neck and jawline. Through the removal of excess skin, fat, and muscle tissue, you'll enjoy a smoother and more defined neck. Dr. Ardesh offers four types of neck lift surgeries, which he discusses with each patient during consultations.

Experience the Under-Chin Neck LiftTM, a procedure that targets superficial and deep fat under the skin and neck muscle while tightening the neck musculature. This surgery requires a small 3 cm incision under the chin.

For even more transformative results, consider the Extended Neck Lift, which 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.

Discover the Ardesh RefreshTM, an advanced option that includes a deep-plane facelift alongside the Extended Neck Lift. This comprehensive procedure targets multiple areas for a revitalized and youthful appearance.

Neck lift candidates should have sagging skin, excess fat, or loose muscle bands in the neck area. It is important for candidates to be in good overall health and have realistic expectations. Non-smokers or those willing to quit smoking during the recovery period are also ideal candidates.

During a personalized neck lift procedure, Dr. Ardesh skillfully makes incisions around the ears and under the chin. Excess muscle is removed, the neck muscles are tightened, and any loose skin is carefully trimmed. This results in a noticeably smoother and more youthful appearance.

A neck lift usually takes 2-3 hours. The specific length of time depends on how much is being done and if it's being done in conjunction with other facial procedures like a facelift.

Dr. Ardesh's patients often opt for a neck lift done under minimal sedation and local anesthesia. With this type of anesthesia, there's no need for a breathing tube or IV like with general anesthesia. The main reason for this preference is that it leads to a quicker and smoother recovery. After the procedure, patients can walk on their own without assistance and rarely recall any details of the surgery.

After a neck lift, swelling and bruising are common but usually go away within 1-2 weeks. Pain and discomfort are usually mild and can be controlled with prescribed pain medication. Most patients can go back to work after 2 weeks, but it's best to avoid strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks.

The risks of a neck lift surgery include infection, hematoma, nerve injury, scarring, and anesthesia complications. However, choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon can reduce these risks.

A neck lift can provide long-lasting results, but factors like genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices can impact how long those results last. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and protecting your skin from the sun, you can help extend the benefits of your neck lift.

The price of a neck lift can vary based on the surgeon's fees, facility fees, and where you live. It's important to know that a neck lift is a cosmetic procedure.

Find a skilled and certified plastic surgeon by utilizing reliable resources. It's crucial to thoroughly research and consult with several surgeons before making your final choice.
